Gelsenkirchen. The German Football League (DFL) has presented a comprehensive hygiene concept so that the restart of the Bundesliga can take place as smoothly as possible. Nevertheless, further rule changes are still being debated.

A possible new rule would be for the FC Schalke 04 well mean an immense disadvantage compared to the competition.

FC Schalke 04: This rule would be a blatant disadvantage for S04

The league is currently examining whether it will follow FIFA’s recommendation and allow five substitutions per game instead of three. This should help the teams in difficult times to distribute the stress of the tight schedule well among the players, even with a smaller squad. In addition, unusually high temperatures are possible at the games in June, which could put additional strain on the pros.

A calculation now shows that the rule change could be particularly advantageous for teams that are already strong. The so-called “Goal Impact” can be used to show how strong a team is and how dangerous they are. Numerous statistics from previous games are included.

According to this figure, teams with a strong substitute bank would benefit from an expansion of the exchange capacities – above all FC Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Gladbach. The expansion would be fatal for Schalke: The club already takes last place in the list with a total of four possible substitutions.

So what sounds good at first might turn out to be a blatant disadvantage.
