Now that the window has closed I thought a summary of our PL squad might be informative. I've almost certainly made at least one glaring mistake, so if you tell me I will update this post to maintain a single point of truth / reference for the season. The Europa Conference League Squad Rules / Classification are different so this is focused on the PL squad only.
PL Squad Rules (Simplified):
Notes:
PL Squad Rules (Simplified):
- Squad size is limited to 25 senior players - those who were over the age of 21 on 1st January 2021.
- Of those 25 senior players, only 17 can be non-home grown (NHG).
- Thus to maximise the squad size (of players over the age of 21) you need at least 8 home grown (HG) players.
- There is no limit on the number of U21 players you can supplement your squad with.
Notes:
- Any player who was 20 on the 'Age on U21 Cut Off Date' will count towards the PL squad next season (so we do have to plan ahead).
- Sessegnon, Skipp, Clarke will all take up a senior squad space from next season onwards (all 'HG').
- Bryan Gil will not count as a senior player until the 2023/2024 season (NHG).
- We could have signed 4 more senior players this summer. All of them could have been NHG or HG.
- Whilst we 'only' have 8 HG senior players, we could have sold Winks and replaced him with a NHG player.
