    I can see some kind of game/minute limit coming in maybe, but that would be an advantage to the bigger clubs with better squad depth.

    Exactly. The difference between Man City playing 61 games in 2022/23 and 66 games in 23/24 versus LAFC (my team) playing 53 games in a season is that City has a second team that could challenge for the PL in addition to their first team while LAFC’s second team could barely beat a 3rd tier team that doesn’t have their own stadium. If City had a cap like MLS, they couldn’t challenge for every competition like they do now. Look at how Seattle did in the regular season when they won the CCL. Teams who can compete with their second team will dominate with minute caps.
