Increase squad size and limit how many games a player can play in a year.

Of course the "obvious" solution is to reduce games played but that will put a dent in the organizer's pocket so it's never happening.

Imagine City with an even bigger squad

Did you see its bench yesterday? It has one of the smallest squads in the league.

Big leagues increasing squad size will make the smaller leagues a lot shitter :(

What do you think of mandating a minimum number of minutes for academy players/season, to take pressure off big players. Something like 2000-3000 minutes (i.e 20-30 games worth, to be split between as many academy players as need be). Also incentivizes clubs bring youth through

impossible, it will just ruin the market and quality of the league.

Interesting idea but how would you account for academies that don't have players at a decent level enough for top tier football, prevent burnout of that one top prospect etc?

Also for clubs that get promoted, they are already facing an uphill battle to avoid relegation.

If they are forced to play youth too, that will make things all the more harder since the bigger clubs will just sign the promising players.

The number of games issue is primarily for clubs in the CL, EL, ECL.

Could just mandate it for teams playing in 4 competitions, or require them to play 2000 minutes and everyone else to play 1000

People always ignore that the players won't accept dropping their wages either. It's just

Increasing squad size and limiting games per player is massively favouring financially wealthy clubs and clubs that are struggling will get absolutely shafted by this.

That would be even worse than continuing with the current way.
