Rule changes The Premier League introduced a cap on the number of players in a squad. From this season onwards, clubs had to declare a squad of no more than 25 players when the summer transfer window shuts, and then again at the end of the January transfer window. Players aged 21 and under could be selected without being registered in the 25. Also being introduced this season was the "home grown players" rule, which aims to encourage the development of young footballers at Premier League clubs. The new rule required clubs to name at least eight players in their squad of 25 players that have been registered domestically for a minimum of three seasons prior to their 21st birthday.Home-grown quota for Premier League http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~1797582,00.html premierleague.com Premier League 15 September 2009 22 May 2010 30 April 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130430212132/http://www.premierleague.com/en-gb/news.html dead All of the Premier League teams submitted their 25-man squads on 1 September 2010 deadline.http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0,,12306~2142220,00.html Premier League clubs submit squad lists 1 September 2010 Premierleague.com 1 September 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100903005609/http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headlines/0%2C%2C12306~2142220%2C00.html 3 September 2010 dead Teams Twenty teams competed in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from the Championship.
