Now that the window has closed I thought a summary of our PL squad might be informative. I've almost certainly made at least one glaring mistake, so if you tell me I will update this post to maintain a single point of truth / reference for the season. The Europa Conference League Squad Rules / Classification are different so this is focused on the PL squad only.

PL Squad Rules (Simplified):
  • Squad size is limited to 25 senior players - those who were over the age of 21 on 1st January 2021.
  • Of those 25 senior players, only 17 can be non-home grown (NHG).
  • Thus to maximise the squad size (of players over the age of 21) you need at least 8 home grown (HG) players.
  • There is no limit on the number of U21 players you can supplement your squad with.

Notes:
  • Any player who was 20 on the 'Age on U21 Cut Off Date' will count towards the PL squad next season (so we do have to plan ahead).
  • Sessegnon, Skipp, Clarke will all take up a senior squad space from next season onwards (all 'HG').
  • Bryan Gil will not count as a senior player until the 2023/2024 season (NHG).
  • We could have signed 4 more senior players this summer. All of them could have been NHG or HG.
  • Whilst we 'only' have 8 HG senior players, we could have sold Winks and replaced him with a NHG player.

Interesting how young the average age for the squad is which would get even lower if the likes of Devine and Markanday are added. With Sessegnon and Skipp (not sure about Gill) becoming over 21 players next season it is imperative that we get rid of the unwanted players so that we can bring in the additional players we need to make us a force for top 4 and trophies.

It is how I said in my OP. Skipp, Sess and Clarke will count as senior players next season. Gil will not (as he will be 20 on 1st Jan 2022).

i think we will offload clarke next season, even sess too if he does not have any significant breakthrough in this season
