The entire thing is ridiculous.
The game was historically meant to be 18 v 18.
They introduced the interchange sub to make it fairer for teams copping an injury.
The coaches and high performance managers hijacked the game and turned it from 18 v 18 to 22 v 22. This facilitated the full ground press and team defensive play which is ruining the spectacle.
Pretty simple, go back to picking your best 18 and then you can have 4 injury subs sitting on the bench who if come on, permanently repL e that player for the game.
that's the key word right there. they want to make things fair. well, the game isnt fair. the fixture isnt fair.
