I like the 4th sub, but I can see abuse from no cup-tied

I could see top teams buying up contracts or loans basically for one game from teams that need to sell and are already out.

Then again, maybe this is a net-win for everyone, but I could see rich clubs like Chelsea and Real just dumping money to basically win 1 game. I haven't heard of it as a problem in the past but perhaps it was a head-ache for some teams who legit had a trade in the works.

4th sub in extra time is smart to allow for further injuries and avoid exhaustion!
