The Rule re players

7.1 In all rounds of the Competition a player shall be a “registered player” of his Club.

7.2 For the EFL Clubs, a registered player is one who:

7.2.1 would be registered and eligible to participate in a match in the League Competition for that EFL Club commencing at the same time and on the same date as the Match in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations; or

7.2.2 would be so eligible but for the fact that they are registered on a Long Term Loan at a club playing in the National League (National Division, North Division or South Division) but by the agreement of the Club, the National League club and the Player he has permission to return to play in this Competition.

7.3 Each EFL Club shall play its Full Available Strength in and during all Matches. Full Available Strength means the EFL Club must include at least four Qualifying Players in the ten outfield Players named in the starting eleven on the Team Sheet.

7.4 Qualifying Player means any Player who:

7.4.1 had started the immediately preceding First Team Fixture (as defined below);

7.4.2 subsequently starts the immediately following First Team Fixture;

7.4.3 is in the list of ten Players at the Club with the highest number of starting appearances in First Team Fixtures in the same Season;

7.4.4 has made forty or more starting appearances in First Team Fixtures or international equivalents (and not limited to the same Club or Season); or

7.4.5 is on standard loan from a Premier League Club or any EFL Club operating a Category One Academy.

7.5 First Team Fixture means the League Competition, Premier League, EFL Cup or FA Challenge Cup (but shall, in the context of Rules 7.4.3 and 7.4.4 only, also include this Competition).

7.6 Any EFL Club failing to meet the requirement to play Full Available Strength will be required to pay a fine of up to £5,000.


7.4.4. is interesting. Assume this means that Igor and Reeves would count as two of the 4 qualifying players even though they may not start the next game

Sarr is playing according to Bowyer, so Bauer must also be ok for Saturday

Not necessarily. Sarr is 4th choice CB anyway

Just need Taylor to get called up by Montserrat and we'll be able to call off games again

Surprised none of our current youngsters, e.g. Morgan have been called up for England youth internationals

Tbf Morgan has only played a couple of games for our first team, done reasonably well but still very early days. Those called up will be either playing week in week out for other teams or for high level academies. Also, no offence to Morgan as I think he has potential to be a really good player for us, he is not as good as other eligible players.

Few U18/U19 internationals will be playing for the first teams, and our academy is highly regarded anyway, so being with us wouldn't be a handicap for selection

A barnstorming 0-0 meaning that thousands will miss out on the excitement.

I'm not going as Masterchef Australia is airing on Watch tonight.

Bruce is cooking a koala burger with King brown snake fries and Sheila is cooking a didgeridoo casserole with a baked kangaroo Alaska for pudding.

The goalkeeper, who joined the Addicks on a season-long loan deal from Aston Villa, will be protected by a back four of Anfernee Dijksteel, Naby Sarr, Mark Marshall and academy graduate Kenneth Yao.

In front of them, young trio Taylor Maloney, George Lapslie and Albie Morgan form three quarters of a midfield quartet, with the other engine-roomer being Ben Reeves. The Northern Irishman is fit again after recovering from an Achilles problem.

Up front, Igor Vetokele – making his first Addicks start since 2016 – leads the line alongside Reeco Hackett-Fairchild.

Charlton: Steer, Yao, Dijksteel, Sarr, Marshall, Lapslie, Maloney, Morgan, Reeves, Vetokele, Hackett-Fairchild.
