Fielding a weakened Team

there is a new rule which came in last season that Lower-league clubs face punishment if they rest 10 or more players during matches towards the end of the season following a toughening up of rules on weakened teams.

The new policy, states: “For any league match played on or after the fourth Thursday in March, any team sheet for a league game should include at least 10 outfield players who featured on the team sheet for the league match before.”

“In the event any club breaches the threshold, they may be charged with a breach of Regulation 24 and the matter will be referred to a disciplinary commission.”

Therefore Villa, Scum and Hull cannot put out a weakened team, although they could play the 6 subs
