I agree it does make sense to play 18 games, some will say it affects ur salary cap but most clubs could manage it, just pay them over 18 games what you would have for 16 games. Surely the players would be up for a proper draw and the not current fixture we have.
Alternatively you give each player the chance to have two weeks unpaid leave for the season to freshen up.
