Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has warned against a quota-based system being used in the Premier League believing it will dilute the quality of the division . Football Association chairman Greg Dyke would like to see the number of home-grown players in top-flight squads increased from eight to 12 , a move he feels will benefit the national team . Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore claims clubs were told by Dyke at a meeting on Thursday that the FA could not impose the change . Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has spoken out against a quota-based system for home grown players . And Wenger believes those changes will not benefit the league or the national team . In an interview with beIN Sports , Wenger said : ' I believe that we are in the world of competition . Competition means who of you or me is the best one . We have to accept that . 'That means as well that the rules of the game must be structured to favour the best . Or we are not in a competition anymore . The Arsenal boss , on the bench at Newcastle before the international break , is against Greg Dyke 's proposals . 'So we can say one of two things - we protect the mediocre or we produce the best players . ' Wenger warned that similar schemes in other countries had led to young players becoming 'professional subs ' , not enhancing their development but downgrading the league standard . ' I give you two examples , he said . 'In Yugoslavia in the past they decided you had to play three players on the team sheet who were under 21 . What happened ? They became professional subs . It happened in France , too . FA chairman Greg Dyke would like to see at least 12 home-grown players in top-flight squads . 'Then they decided you had to play three players ( aged ) under 21 from the start . You know what happened ? They subbed all three after five minutes . ' Dyke 's proposal to toughen up home-grown player rules has the backing of UEFA president Michel Platini , who hinted that he intends to follow suit . Should UEFA implement the regulations , then the Premier League would likely have to back down . Dyke hopes a quota-based system for home-grown players would help England manager Roy Hodgson ( left )
