Sky Sports website is still saying that Villa can register 4 of the 5 new players for Europe.
I'm lost
They are suggesting it's because we've let 6 players from our European squad leave. Jhon Duran, Emiliano Buendia, Kostas Nedeljkovic, Jaden Philogene, Diego Carlos and Joe Gauci.
I haven't read the rules, but they are suggesting teams can add 3 players normally, but can add more if they've sold/released/loaned out an unusually high number of players. So you can add 4 players to your squad if you've lost 5 or more from your European squad in the transfer window, and 5 players if you've lost 7 or more players. We lost the 6 above.
