In-game reviews are being trialled in 2018 for the FA Cup only, so the earliest they could come in for the league would be 2018/19. If they work, this panel will only be an interim measure but (according to some referees) diving is on the increase and the FA probably felt they had to do something. It may be that they also wanted to test the water to gauge reactions.
I agree that some players are wrongly booked for diving, but that's a separate issue. The FA would have to change their policy on not reviewing yellow cards which they won't want to do because there are too many of them.
I still say that this measure is better than nothing until the VARs come in.
