This should be changed. I believe in current football rules the minimum number of players to start a game legally is 9.

This has happened in the current year to a 3rd division team in Italy. They were essentially bankrupt so most players had left, but did not want to be legally declared bankrupt for orherwise they would have to restart from the last amateur league rather than 4th division. They played in 9, including the physio and goalkeeper coach. Lost most games like 20-0.
