I think there are too many games jammed in from that perspective. Frankly, as a fan who for the time being can’t have meetings to conflict with matches it’s great! But for the players it’s obviously asking a lot. I think it’s worse for the PL because the games actually matter there.
But the clubs all know this. That’s why you have to rotate your players. Spurs didn’t have a large enough squad for years and we paid the price with injuries. Mourinho has said he basically wants two full compliments of players so that if one gets injured there’s someone to step in. It’s not entirely possible because some players are impossible to replace, but it’s probably the way to try to set it up.
