[insert comment about how tough the nurses have it]

But seriously I think the number of games is getting ridiculous.

have it written in your contracts that you won't play more than X games a season. let the club sort out how to distribute those games.

Meatwad players wont do that because it'll effect their wages.

it's a great challenge but...
... the PFA can take leadership by putting their money where the mouth is.

cut the Worthington Cup or whatever it's called
reduce pre-season tours

Claudius coaches moan about players playing too much then field strong teams in the league cup. Play the children.

TBF Arteta seems to be more of a "just get on with it" manager when it comes to the schedule.

That's not up to the PFA either ya?

Claudius

banduan but why start with the World Cup?
I think it’s about relationships. The PFA knows its players make money from playing for the premier league, FA and UEFA. Notice how nobody is complaining to those organisations. FIFA on the other hand is just a blood sucking menace if you’re the richest players in the so of. FIFA’s real value is to the small countries who get technical and financial assistance

it's also about value. The League Cup as lame as it is does fulfil a certain value that an expanded world club cup does not.
