    Premier League changes rules on 'weakened' teams
    Top-flight clubs will now be allowed to pick any player in their 25-man matchday squad without fear of sanction from the Premier League.

    The 20 Premier League clubs agreed at their AGM in early June that any combination of players named in their registered 25-man squads will be able to start a match.
    The head of communications at the Premier League Dan Johnson confirmed that all the clubs were in favour of the rule change.

    The rule has not been totally withdrawn, and clubs will still be at risk of a fine if they select a number of younger players from outside their 25-man squad.

    Maybe the Premier League will now apologise to Wolves and Blackpool for picking on them for doing this, and ignoring teams in the top 6.

    On a more constructive note, about time they came up with this completely obvious way to do this.

    Good stuff. The FA are are / were hugely biased to the top clubs with this rule - and most other rules come to that.

    Both clubs should have gone after the PL for such a daft rule. Threaten legal action and to mind there own business.
