Players are already playing almost 60 games and they would be playing 60 games anyway with the new CL format. You are all over the place.

So its already an issue and now there are 10-12 more games that need to be rotated. And unless you are within a few points off the league top halfway through the season, you will borrow these off your league games and play your B-squad there.

Some dude on twitter posted a list of France NT without the Super League players:
Maignan, Mandanda, Areola
Dubois, Clauss, Kounde, Kamara, Fofana, Kimpembe, Digne, Truffert
Aouar, Veretout, Nzonzi, Caqueret, Tchouameni, Camavinga
Mbappe, Gouiri, Ben Yedder, Diaby, Fekir, Thuram
Of course, if PSG joins you have to replace Kimpembe and Mbappe (probably by Konate and Edouard for example). The starting 11 could be: Maignan (Lille) - Dubois (OL) ; Kounde (Sevilla) ; Fofana (Leicester) ; Digne (Everton) - Tchouameni (Monaco) ; Camavinga (Rennes); Aouar (Lyon) - Gouiri (Nice); Ben Yedder (Monaco); Fekir (Betis).
I'd say France would still probably be among the favorites, considering how worse the situation would be for a lot of other major NT. But, yeah, a lot of major players would just disappear from the tournament. I don't really see that happening. Could be fun though.

BT Sport become the first UK broadcaster to issue a statement condemning the plans for a European Super League
https://twitter.com/SavantaComRes/status/1384043636652871686
Condemnation from BT Sport given to their financial interest in Champions League & Premier League is worthless.
They'll jump at the first chance to get the ESL broadcast rights for sure.

Likes of City have won league rotating all season. That is way it will go for top teams.
Idea of some distinct B team being used wont happen.
BBC Sport polling from November 2020 showed highest level of support for Super League among younger fans

I ll never support this shit and i m 32.

Frenkie De Jong will be sitting at 52 games at the end of the season and thats excluding the International games. So yh there are already players who almost played 60 games.
Edit : just looked it up including the International games he will be sitting at 65 games at the end of the season. And thats with him not even playing the QF and SF of the CL.

People who favor the ESL say, oh, do you know how unfair and corrupt the current format of CL is? Did you realize money is already running football? You are a hypocrite if you are against the ESL.
Just because something is bad it is not hypocritical to not want it to be worse.
Just because today?s football is mostly about money already it is not OK to make it completely about money.
Just because FIFA and UEFA are corrupt it doesn?t make it natural to push something that is more corrupt than them.
Money aside, the concept of ESL kills the spirit of football and competition with no relegation of any of the founding clubs and 5 remaining spots filled with clubs purely on the terms and whims of the 15 founding clubs. Monopoly.

Totally agree with this point, and I think it is fair. I also agree with [MENTION=6099]JamDav1982[/MENTION] when they said that:
I agree.

Off topic: Let's assume this thing goes through , do you think that it will give Mbappe more incentive to stay ?

most likely it is the 30-34 people that are unhappy in the 18-34 category.
let's face it, future is all about what young people want. and the clubs know this.
surprised rakuten isn't involved. or maybe they support us in all this as streaming football on-demand will be all the rage in the future.

So thats almost 10 games off what he would have to play just for club comps.
