I used my WC1 last gameweek and have also planned which gameweek to use my Free Hit too. 

 

I came so close to putting Woltemade in for Ekitike last gameweek but I thought Hugo would start the last game. With Isak fit and starting games now it's definitely time to ditch the Liverpool forwards with the prospect of a timeshare situation. 

 

i stuck in Gyokores instead of Woltemade and regret my decision, also captained him. 

 

My front free is gyok pedo and Haaland, soon to be Isak in for pedro then i might swap gyok for Woltermade in a few weeks dependant on if he starts scoring. Arsenal Defenders a must for next few games

All in the name of player safety blah blah blah meanwhile as soon as the season finishes let’s do a 3 week tour of Asia, America etc ooh and wouldn’t it be a great idea if we fly to Australia to play out a league match once or twice a season.

 

Rugby are serious about player safety and whilst granted footballers aren’t subjected to the hits like rugby players are 1 rule that would be good for football is a total number of games played per season/calendar year.

For instance those players who represented The Lions in July/Aug have only become eligible to play for their club teams this past weekend (Wk3) of the season, after a mandatory 10week rest period for those that have exceeded the 30 games per season rule spread over league, cup & internationals.

 

Something like this should/could be implemented in the football calendar ensuring those teams that always whinge who also have the biggest squads rotate & manage their players better.

Interesting idea, I like it.

 

My only thought is how that would impact different leagues. 

 

For example players in the championship could play between 50 and 60 games with a couple of cup runs, ignoring internationals. Whereas players in say the SPL or a smaller European league would have 20 less than that. I guess that's the point, I just wonder how it would impact different leagues and countries at international level when there are leagues with quite varying season lengths.

For sure there would need to be a little more thought put into by each association and league, it’s a little easier in Rugby as it’s only the elite players that would tend to go over that 30 game limit and certainly in England & Irelands case these players come from clubs that should be able to swallow the missing weeks anyway although Ireland have at least 14 players in the starting 15 for Leinster but they must cope, club cup games usually continue whilst Internationals are on, 6Nations for instance.

Due to talent pool of SCO & WAL (keeping to our national teams) their clubs probably struggle as would as you mention players in the EFL championship for the same nations as their players could tend to come from Cardiff, Swansea for WAL etc who obviously don’t have the squad depth of Arsenal, Liverpool etc.

1 big plus point in Rugby is that a lot more academy players get blooded to fill the gaps especially in those cup games.

 

But it’s a concept that needs to be looked at because those clubs that whinge about player safety are the clubs that flog their players to death for a few extra peas, they want to have and eat that cake they don’t care about player safety.

That Awoniyi is hilarious, so far off it it's unbelievable. 

In fairness, it looks like he hasn’t featured this season (in the league anyway) and he had that awful injury against us at the end of last season. I’m not even watching this game by the way but clearly he is coming back from a bad injury and not match fit. 
 

He might not recover properly but the pre-injury version of his would massively improve our side now.
