English Premier League's five replacement rules

Premier League reinstated the five-substitute rules, which allowed each team to make five substitutions rather than three. While the rule is expected to be beneficial to top-four teams and top-half, it could also have a negative impact on bottom-half clubs.

The rule was reinstituted and the new rules will come into effect on January 1, 2012.
