Other than reducing teams in the top flight from 20 to 18 (like in Germany and France) what else can be done? You can’t reduce the amount of CL games, cups are single leg only until later stages.

Clearly adding more games is incredibly stupid, but I don’t see how you can reduce them.

World cup in the middle of the year was horrific. Then they are even increasing the CL size now. Players are gonna get worn out pretty bad

I am all for 18 teams.

Btw, in Germany all cup games are single-leg. And there is only one national cup, like God intended. So there is still further room to reduce games in England, apart from the size of the league.

Just kick Chelsea and City out and it's sorted.
