I feel like you are pretty much putting out your best team every week in the EPL, and you can't prioritize the mid-week games as much as the teams in other leagues can.
I've been reading a lot about this and while theres some truth to it, there seems to be a point of controversy as to how much merit there is to that assertion.

Some say that playing against tough competition week in and week out keeps them strong and sharp, as well as the fact that the English league is the richest in the world with the ability to field the most depth.

In my opinion it isnt the overall competitiveness of the English league that is killing English teams, its their desire to buy their squads rather than build them.
