Good news.

why is that good news?

id prefer to have options from the bench, definitely

Pathetic rule

Goalkeeper and 4 outfield players, so say if you pick 2 strikers 1 midfield and 1 defender, and either 2 of your midfielders or defenders get injured during the game, you could well be in shit street.

Or you have more versatile players on the bench. (2 strikers is definitely not a good option).

It's to do with saving money. Less players in the matchday squad means less wage money to pay out.

this is where darcey blake comes in handy and andrew taylor

It can be good and bad. Good because the better clubs can't have the extra 2 quality subs. Bad because we will more likely have players getting moody because they can't get in the match day squad.

Most managers don't want seven subs, it's too many people to take with you for an away match. A very good rule IMO. Pleased with it.

again, why is it a good rule?

Being someone from the dinosaur age before subs were allowed, I feel that 5 subs is more than ample. Players should be capable of playing in a variety of positions and 5 subs gives a lot of scope.
