Yes, that’s odd

Not sure why it needs to say it includes the EPL at all, it’s obvious, isn’t it?

EFL rules 34.12.2 (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Aug 3, 09:55:15
- To be fair to NCFC, they can clearly fulfil the requirement (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Aug 3, 10:12:38
  - Think the exemption applies until those kids will be 24 on 1 Jan of the relevant season (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:20:16
    - Matos was reported a being a Free, so does he qualify? (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Aug 3, 10:26:59
      - Think he does because he was still within the compensation regime (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:28:37
        
        I've always found (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 3, 11:18:31
        
        I've broached the paywall (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Aug 3, 10:36:50
        
        Lol (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:40:23
  - Not indefinite (NCFC) - sjp, Aug 3, 10:17:42
    - Oh yes. That’s right, it’s 24 or under. (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:21:17
- Matos would count, wouldn’t he? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:08:22
  - The Chelsea player? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 3, 11:14:51
    - I see your point now I've read it properly. Would he have to be in the 25 man squad? (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 3, 11:16:47
      - Would just need to be registered with them which he is. Chelsea also paid compensation. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Aug 3, 11:25:05
- Ligue 1 (NCFC) - sjp, Aug 3, 10:02:31
  - The rule only applies to leagues under the domestic football pyramid. EFL rules do not (NCFC) - The Gaffer, Aug 3, 11:09:19
  - Don't think it is for these rules they say (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Aug 3, 10:22:33
    - What an odd wording (NCFC) - mr carra, Aug 3, 10:34:31
      - Yes, that’s odd (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:49:29
        
        Technically not part of the EFL (NCFC) - sjp, Aug 3, 10:52:31
        
        It’s already captured though (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 14:09:16
    - Also, presumably a Club is a team in the football league (defined term) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:33:41
    - Why would it say “including” of the EPL is the only league it could be? (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 10:26:29
      - Because the rules also apply to teams in League 2 and League 1 (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Aug 3, 15:58:00
- Just seen Omobamidele has gone to Strasbourg so doesn't count (NCFC) - Kangol Canary, Aug 3, 09:57:31
- Omobamidele has moved to Strasbourg (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Aug 3, 09:57:20
