Quote Andy Gilder="Andy Gilder"Do the reserve and academy competitions still have qualifying criteria for the playoffs that exclude players who have made a certain percentage of their appearances for the first team in that season?'"
Dunno, but IMO those who qualify for the academy should be able to play for the academy no matter how many games theyve played for the first team.
However, if they have not played for the academy its a bit unfair if they take someones place who has played all year.
