J paint trophy what is

These questions are likely to spread now that EFL chief executive Shaun Harvey has revealed invites to compete in next season's EFL Trophy will be sent to the 15 Premier League clubs with category-one academy status and Newcastle United, as they finished higher in the league pyramid last season than the five clubs with category-one status in the EFL. But contrary to what was discussed at the EFL AGM in Portugal three weeks ago, the invited clubs will be able to field U23 teams, not U21s, with three outfield overage players and a goalkeeper.

Their criteria also includes the ability to include three overage players and a goalkeeper in their team. Harvey also said penalties will be used to settle draws in the group games, with the successful team earning an extra point.

Teams will be able to use three substitutes from man squads and knockout games tied after 90 minutes will also go straight to penalties. Harvey added that scrapping extra time will be reviewed for the semifinals and final "if there is a compelling or commercially attractive reason" to do so, and if the additional 30 minutes was called for a fourth substitute would be allowed.

Ashley Brown, chairman of the Pompey Supporters' Trust, said: "We believe this to be a step in the wrong direction for English football and a weakening of our fantastic pyramid structure.
