Fifa endorsed the 6+5 rule in May 2008. The 6+5 rule establishes that at the start of each match, a club must field at least six players who would be eligible for the national team of the country of the club.
There would be no limit on substitutes and no limit on the number of non-national players that clubs can sign.
Seemingly, the Fifa president, Sepp Blatter, is determined to see the 6+5 rule in place by the start of the 2012-13 season. Fifa's plans to limit the number of foreign players do not breach European Union rules, an independent report declared today.
How would Benitez and Wenger cope?

I wonder is this league/cup matches, european competition only, or both? Liverpool started with one English player last night (Carragher). Chelsea had 3. Not surprisingly, Wenger had none. No mention of Fergie Tom - Utd. had only 2 (Carrick and Ferdinand) starters against Inter. Scottish teams will struggle too. FAI clubs should be grand!
