Come off it Richard... all you have to do in this scenario is to adopt the "English Rules", whereby you are allowed more than 12 players at a time. Indeed, I seem to recall that the "English Rules" permit you to have as many players on the field as you want at any one time, provided you claim it was all just a silly mistake.

I realise you were talking soccer, and the "English Rules" really only apply to rugby, but I think the essence of the "English Rules" is to be as flexible as possible, isn't it?
