Hi eds,

Quick question, to help young players in England get game time could the fa allow extra, say 2 more subs named on the bench for young English u20's? Still only use 3 subs but option there.
Or would this have to be a FIFA "for all" rule change?
Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - They could not make it "English" only - that would discrimination but other countries do allow more subsititues on the bench (but a max of three being used) in local competitions.}

Don't see why they don't just do rolling subs like they do in youth level.

I would imagine it would slow the game up too much, Alfie. We already get 30 seconds per substitution added on. If teams were able to roll in their 'offensive' or 'defensive' players depending on the situation (free kicks, corners etc) like they do in American Football, added time could end up doubling the length of a game!
