Premier League Rule Changes 17:35 - Aug 12 with 1922 views | SitfcB | https://www.premierleague.com/news/4076251 Subs warming up A slight tweak is that from this season, the number of substitutes allowed to warm up at the same time on the perimeter of the pitch during a match has gone up from three to five players per team. This is to correspond with the fact that teams are able to make five substitutions at any one time. Multiball As before, the Premier League will practice the multiball system in 2024/25, with 15 balls in use to speed up the game. When the match ball goes out of play and is not quickly retrievable, players must go to the nearest cone to collect a replacement ball themselves to restart play. Ball assistants are not permitted to return a ball to a player but should return it to a vacant cone. But from this season, an exception to this rule has been introduced in that the ball assistants positioned behind the goals at the end where the ball goes out are allowed to return a ball to the goalkeeper who will take the restart. It remains the case that a club’s technical area staff who deliberately delay the restart of play by holding on to the ball, kicking the ball away, etc will be sent off. Any players who do the same in the technical area will receive a yellow card. More accurate calculation of added time From this season, when a goal is scored, match officials will only start adding time on to the end of the match when the delay between the goal and the subsequent kick-off exceeds 30 seconds. This will allow natural time for both teams to resume their restart positions after each goal. Given that there were 3.28 goals scored per match last season on average, this change may result in a significant drop in stoppage time this season. So don’t get annoyed at not enough time being added on, or if the ballboys don’t give the ball back to a player! |  |
