How many non-first choice overage players can play for a youth side?

The warriors have good depth at their club and all of their players get game time week in week out if not in the Warriors top side, the Vulcans and the U20s.

The Phoenix always seam to have 3+ very average players on their books and we usually only find out how average they are when they play due to injuries to other players. I don't know if these guys are rubbish because of their lack of game time or if they are just rubbish so don't get game time (chicken before egg?).

I think at present teams in the NYL can have 4 over age players. So if you include the 14 players that at most could play in HAL on the weekend you could have up to 18 over age players (more first teamers if youth are playing in NYL) getting some football roughly on a weekly basis. Really good for players to regain fitness and/or touch and bring through youth.
