A fourth sub in extra-time? Yes please!

13 Nov 2017 By Jack Moore

The FA have announced that a fourth substitute will be permitted to be used in extra-time in matches from the first round onwards in this season’s Emirates FA Cup.

Last season, The FA introduced the fourth substitute in extra time from the quarter final stage of the competition, following a study from the International Football Association Board (IFAB) to analyse the impact an additional substitute in extra-time would have on a match and its outcome.

In the event Hereford or Slough Town need a replay which goes to extra-time in their second round games versus Fleetwood Town and Rochdale respectively, then they may use one additional player from the nominated seven substitutes during the period of extra-time.
