- thought this would be best as a standalone thread than in the Transfer Stuff.
The PL list isn't anything confirmed, so it shows Mason etc. because they are still our players. To clarify for all, I'll just paste in the general jist of the rules/limitations, as I would struggle to put it any simpler..
********************************************
What are the rules around the 25 man squad?
Each Premier League team must register a maximum of 25 players over the age of 21 for that season’s first-team league games.
The full squad list must be submitted within 24 hours of the summer transfer window closing, which this year is on Wednesday 31 August.
The squad list can not be amended until the next transfer window opens on Sunday 1 January.
Clubs can use an unlimited number of players under the age of 21.
Of the 25 registered squad players, no more than 17 can be designated as “foreign” and at least eight must be “homegrown".
A team can submit less than 25 names - Chelsea’s included just 20 names last season -but the maximum of 17 foreigners still applies.
Players loaned to Football League clubs cannot be replaced, but can regain their spot on return to parent club.
What counts as a 'Home Grown' player?
A homegrown player, as defined by the Premier League, is a player who:
(a) is 21 or older on January 1 of the year in which that season begins, and;
(b) spent 36 months between the ages of 16 and 21 with a team in the English league system.
This rule applies regardless of nationality so you do NOT have to be English/Welsh to be a home-grown player.
And you don’t have to be playing at the club that developed you via their own academy.
So for instance, in this calculation, Dani Ayala - who came through the Liverpool youth set up - counts as “homegrown” in the Boro squad.
What counts as an 'Under 21' player?
To qualify players have to be 21 or under on 1 January. For the 2016/17 season that means a player had to be born after January 2, 1994.
