A change in subs limit

Five substitutes have now become standard practice in the Premier League after being tested in matches played behind closed doors during the COVID-19 epidemic. Every EPL result is going to be a whole lot different this time around.

When it came to substitutes, the Premier League was an exception last season, allowing teams in the Champions League and the FA Cup to use five. This season, the English Premier League will have five replacements.

A new era of EPL

The Premier League 2 competition, which was formerly disputed by Under-23 teams, will now be a competition for Under-21s. It is expected that Crystal Palace will stand up and fight with the strongest teams in the country, including Manchester City, United, and Liverpool.

Youth football in England is now better aligned with international competitions thanks to an ongoing assessment of England’s Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP), a policy that aims to best develop young players in England.

Participation is still open to individuals above the age of 18. There used to be no cap on the number of senior players that may appear, and that allowed teams to use three outfielders and one goalie who was all over the maximum. Up to 5 over-age outfielders, as well as one goalkeeper, can participate in this.

Extras

You should also be on the lookout for minor changes to the system surrounding penalties. There is no longer a rule stating that goalkeepers must have at least a foot on the line when a penalty kick is taken.

Goalkeepers can now begin from a central role and push off through the ball in an effort to prevent the penalty kick from going in.

Finally, this season will see the launch of a new Premier League football. Last week, the brand new ‘Nike Flight’ ball made its debut, modeled after the ball used in the competition’s inaugural season 30 years ago.
