Robert the Spud Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I'm am managing in the Premier league and have just finished the 2011/12 season. I get a notice saying that in the champions league, out of my squad i have to have 4 players trained at the club and a further 8 trained in england. However, i am selling 3 of these players overall-Now, does this mean my transfer policy is dictated by these rules? Meaning, i now have to introduce a crappy reserve player into the squad and then buy a further two England trained players(Extremley expensive!!)?? It's so damn confusing and also prejudice against the newer clubs in the competition who do not or have not had Class A training facilities for 10 years.

Cougar2010 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Well those are the real life rules and clubs manage in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maidel Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 You dont have to have any players at all if you dont want. You need 8 in the first 25 players with 4 of them comming from your club. If you dont want to have them, you can register 17 players and leave 8 spaces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coentrao Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 And also players younger than 21(or is it 20?) don't need to be registered to be eligible so they are free slots. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think one is for the league and one for europe and they are 1 year different... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert the Spud Posted January 9, 2011 Author Share Posted January 9, 2011 But this means that i have to put a rubbish club grown player in instead of a better senior player, surely? It's fine if you are man utd, chelsea or arsenal, but otherwise it's alot of work and figuring out to do. And essentially forces a manager to buy youth youth and more youth over experience. I'm not complaining, just trying to work it out so i don't get screwed when champions league time comes around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 i know they are the real rules, i'm just trying to get my head around what i can and cant do with my squad I fail to see your problem? They are the RL rules, you know they are the RL rules and yet you don't plan for them :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You register 17 players without those rules and then you can, but don't have to register, up to another 8 but they must be homegrown. (4 from the club and 4 nationally as you know) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am planning for them, infact, that is what i am doing right now, by virtue of this thread existing. I didn't need to think about it at all during the first two seasons as the squad had all these quotas filled but now, with certain players having to go, it leaves one or two gaps. Thats all. I still think though, that unless a club has great training facilities, it is prejudice, because the quality you are forced to put in the squad is not European standard.

I'm not complaining, just trying to work it out so i don't get screwed when champions league time comes around This is kind of the point of the rule, it is there to encourage clubs to develop their own young players and bring them through, instead of just buying up all the best talent from other clubs.

Mike J Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The EPL has a similar squad rule, so it shouldn't really come as a surprise or be a problem. I think the rule is stupid, but it's used IRL so we have to deal with it. It's part of squad building now. I tend to use lots of good youngsters in the early seasons to get around the problem. After 3-4 years a lot of them will then count as home grown and the problem tends to go away. Of course, if you only ever buy the absolute best players regardless of home-grown status you will have problems eventually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maidel Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 I don't understand. You need to have the players for the premier league anyway, so if you sold those players you wouldn't be able to fullfil the premiership requirements either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
