I would like to see the game altered slightly so that everyone can have some benefit from training. Here is my proposal.
Scrimmage games are moved to Sunday and every team, whether in the cup or not, have the opportunity to compete to schedule a scrimmage. This gives everyone 48 minutes minutes of 1 position training every week.
Also cup games would no longer count minutes towards GS to alleviate the issue that would arise as a result.
This would give everyone the opportunity to have at least 1 player to be trained at all times and it would allow teams to put their best players out during cup games. Sacrificing cup games for league games or league games for cup games has always seemed ridiculous to me.
