Two league matchdays a week

The league is now played on Wednesdays and Sundays: twice as many matches and a season of about four months instead of eight. The cups go in between (the international ones on Monday; your country’s cups and the Big Cup on Friday) and never clash. Fatigue, injuries, birthdays and market deadlines are now measured in matchdays, so between two matchdays players recover as much as they used to in a week. The winter window still stays open for a week, but the league keeps going. And contracts show the years left (“3 years”) instead of the season they end. “Let Antonio find me friendlies” now books one a week, on Friday.
