By the way, starting this season in the Premier League, stoppage time will increase in order to combat time wasting, so I can assume that this is not the biggest stoppage time that we will see in the season.

I like this change. I really find it annoying to see those players that would lay or sit on the ground while trying to waste the time on purpose.

Some players like MU's Varane have already expressed their dissenting opinion on this which is understandable. The increased playing minutes may or may not be harmful to them but I think the intention of this new rule outweighs that.

Any changes have pros and cons, but these changes do not change the essence of the confrontation much - even if the opponent is dragging out the time for 90 minutes, it is only your problem that you could not win. The endless addition of time to the main time of the game will be both annoying and exhausting, because even 10 minutes is more than 10% of the main time. Or if you look differently, then this is 33% of the duration of the added halves (which are played rarely and now they will almost always, albeit partially).
