Feels like we’re approaching the point where rules about minutes played per week/month/year might need to be regulated.
It’s complicated to legislate for, though. It’s not just about limiting time played as a blanket policy across leagues. Context is important. Have a listen to this podcast with performance manager I posted a link to a few days back:
Specifically the part starting at 33:15. It’s not a straightforward problem to solve, sadly.

Hamstring injuries are up 96% compared to last season

[BBC Sport] Why are Premier League injuries at a new high?
- Injury crisis: The Premier League has seen a record number of injuries this season, with 196 in just over three months. Newcastle and Manchester United are the worst-hit teams with 14 players injured each this season. - World Cup effect: The 2022 winter World Cup in Qatar may have contributed to the increase in injuries, as players had to play more games in a shorter time before and after the tournament. The average length and severity of injuries also rose after the World Cup. - Hamstring injuries: Hamstring injuries have seen a 96% increase this season, with 53 incidents. This may be related to the longer added time and the higher tempo of the Premier League games. - Cost of injuries: Injuries have a significant financial impact on clubs, as they have to pay wages to unavailable players. The cost of injuries across the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 was £617.8m in 2022-23, a 27.3% increase from the previous season. - Festive period: The upcoming festive period will see more games in a short span of time, which may lead to more injuries. The Premier League says no club plays within 60 hours of another match, but some experts suggest 72 hours is the optimal recovery time.

The City and Chelsea cases are much bigger, so it’s understandable that it will take longer. But it nothing comes of it, what message will that send?
[The Guardian] Everton’s deduction is a tremor – City and Chelsea may face the earthquake
Summary - Everton verdict: The Premier League has docked Everton 10 points for breaching its profit and sustainability rules. Everton is the first club to be punished for breaking financial fair play rules. - City and Chelsea cases: Manchester City and Chelsea are also under investigation by the Premier League for alleged financial wrongdoing. They face more severe charges and potential sanctions, including relegation. - Premier League’s stance: The Premier League is keen to enforce its rules and regulations and deter clubs from circumventing them. It also wants to retain some of its regulatory powers amid the prospect of an independent regulator. - Everton’s appeal: Everton has said it will appeal against the verdict and the finding that it failed to act with the utmost good faith. However, experts believe it is unlikely to succeed. - Other clubs’ claims: Leeds, Leicester, Burnley and Southampton have 28 days to inform the commission if they want compensation from Everton. They are not allowed to take separate legal action through the courts.
Agreed! Interesting content, in-depth analysis, great goals, highlights from extraordinary or notable matches. 👍
I’ve found some content I’ve posted along these lines gets downvoted (e.g. lemmy.world/post/8042698) for no given reason, which is always a bit dispiriting. In that example, it’s always good fun to get an insight into how top coaches think, even if you don’t support that team. Sky’s Monday Night Football great for that - Gary O’Neil and Thomas Franck being notable examples recently:
Hello!
Would be great if highlights and goals could be kept in a single matchweek thread or similarly organised somehow. They often crowd out and rapidly push down other content making it hard to see. I’ve sometimes logged in to find a wall of scores and match updates for stuff I’m not interested in (e.g. the wall of Copenhagen v Manchester United goals recently - would those not be better served up in a single thread rather than a post per goal?). Highlights are fine, but I can usually find extended highlights pretty easily on the many highlight websites out there (including YouTube). Posting scores here seems a bit redundant too - there are so many apps and websites now that provide live scores and in-depth stats.
But I appreciate these things might be useful to others so just appealing for perhaps a bit more organisation around them.
