Im not saying you done a Pini im saying i feel a bit like Pini. I think this whole suggestion is made so that already good teams can be better. Hence competitiveness gets worse and not better as the suggestion seems to be about.
So where can we find out historical game shape data for large nations for a few seasons ago so that we may find one example and ride it like a horse until its game shape is awful?
;)
I think the idea of punishing bad game shape decisions for a longer period is valid, but I'm not sure I like being able to make up for it by taking an extra break one week. In the end, GS is easy enough to manage with depth - and if a team chooses not to have depth for financial purposes, this is the side effect of that.
