Nah as far as im aware, players under certain age dont count towards squad. So they could rest all 25 and just play kids if they wanted
Dont quote me but im pretty sure
ian holliway got fined for resting players this season when he replaced them with players who were in his 25 but not his normal starting 11 think it was against villa
i remember him saying he was going to resign if he got fined but the board talked him round
