Change 1 - The offside rule
What's changed? Essentially, if a player has a shot at goal and a team-mate in an offside position makes a play for the ball – even if they do not touch it – the goal will now be disallowed.
Example: Juan Mata goal: Man Utd v Stoke City, December 2, 2014
THE SCENARIO: United are leading 2-1 and pressing forward. Juan Mata swings the ball in from the left, Marcos Rojo is in an offside position when the ball is kicked, he leaps well, does not touch the ball, and it slips into the far corner.
LAST SEASON'S DECISION: Goal. THIS SEASON'S DECISION: Offside.
FORMER REFEREE MIKE RILEY SAYS: This is a good example of how a player who didn’t touch the ball has an impact. The Stoke 'keeper can't decide whether to come for the cross or stay and make the save. As the ball is played over Rojo jumps for the ball, gets very close to it, clearly attempts to play it. The keeper can't commit, does he dive, does he come for the cross? It clearly has an impact on him. Last season we couldn’t penalise this but this season it would meet the criteria.
Change 2 - Feigning injury
Players who feign injury could now be banned as the FA attempt to stamp out simulation from the game.
Example: Andy Carroll was sent off after appearing to catch Swansea's Chico Flores with his arm in 2014, but the decision was not overturned despite an appeal. If it had been overturned, Flores would now face a possible FA ban
Change 3-Technical area

Change 3-Technical area
Football’s governing bodies in England have agreed to a code of conduct for managers and anyone else in the technical area during matches.
The code, jointly agreed by the FA, Premier League, Football League, LMA and PFA, is designed as guidance for players, coaches and staff ahead of the new season.
EXAMPLE:Chelsea coach Rui Faria is restrained during Chelsea's defeat by Sunderland in April 2014
Change 4 - Surrounding officials

Change 4 - Surrounding officials
The FA have introduced a minor change relating to the number of players allowed to confront a referee.
Previously, if three or more players approached a referee in a confrontational way, the club face being charged with misconduct, if that referee reported the incident.
Example : Referee Mike Dean is surrounded by Manchester United players last season
