What does it actually mean? Can we only choose from our designated selection? Can we alter and change at will according to our whims or injuries? Never really understood how it works. So any pointers would be muchly appreciated

Players over the age of 21 have to be named in the 25 man squad, players under the age of 21 don't have to be registered.

22 outfield players and 3 goalkeepers to be named in each squad. Squads have to be submitted the day after the closing of the transfer window. Changes are permitted in January.

It would be a touch pointless if you could just change it, wouldn't it? 25 players over 21. As many under U21s as you like.

25 man squad named on Sept 1st to go through to Jan 1st.

At that point the squad limit is in effect suspended until Jan 31st and then a new 25 man squad is named.

U21s ( those born after 1/1/1996 ) don't count towards the squad.

Is it specified that three GKs have to be named? Even if one or more of them are under-age?

I don't think there is any rule that says you have to name 3 keepers, you don't have to name 25 players if you don't want to, or you don't have enough players over 21 to do so.

The only other rule is that 8 of the 25 have to be home grown. A player is considered home grown if, regardless of nationality, they've been registered with a club associated with the FA or FAW for 36 months prior to their 21st Birthday. It doesn't have to be 36 consecutive months just 36 months in total.

Good, if that is indeed the case. It means we can take advantage of having a good young GK as number three, still leaving space in the squad for 23 outfield players.
