Fifa proposes use of five substitutions
Teams will be given "temporary dispensation" to make five substitutions to help with the congested schedule they could face when the season resumes, says Fifa.

Interesting idea, however I think you should have to use 2 by the 60th minute. It would take time wasting to a new level if a team can bring on a substitute in the 88th, 89th, 90th, 91st and 92nd minute in a game when they're holding on.
Edit - just seen this bit:
The five substitutions would be allowable within a maximum of three slots, as well as during half-time.
Sounds like a good idea now.
