too many games.
not enough rotation because every player is expensive.
players are getting more athletic so more forces put into the ground at higher speeds and shorter ground contact times.
time off between seasons are way too short. pre seasons are way too short. 4 week preseason to go from sedentary to game speed is nowhere near enough.

not enough rotation because every player is expensive so you're not going to rotate out your 100m man when every game is must win.

That is on the clubs. Top clubs have capacity to rotate but refuse to.

Jose whined about Europa being 2 days ahead of the Derby only to play most of his starters into the ground and refuse to sub anyone out, or give them rest. Proceeded to do absolutely nothing in either games
