how are they defined? </BLOCKQUOTE>

Think Fran found somewhere where its the 6 players who have played the most in the league, so far, so yeah regulars

But its abit vague as i dont think it takes into account first team players who may have been injured so couldnt play

How odd. Good, though, for the lower league teams

Good point. The thing is, resting players in the West Ham game will make a huge difference to our chances of progressing in the cup, whereas it will make a very small difference to our league position. The cup would be have to be a hell of a lot less important than the league financially for it to make sense, I really find it difficult to imagine that.

Having said that you're right, I don't know the exact financial implications of success and failure in the cup and league, but what confuses me is when the fans, who are supposed to provide the romance and get away from the percentages side of the game, are also going on about resting players and focussing on the league. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Natural by-product of everyone being increasingly focused on success.

Im sure its more a condition set by the sponsers more than the football league.

Most teams dont care about the fine anyway. 5k or risking getting your main player injured, no contest really
