No winter break is ridiculous. Players need a rest!

Keeping the league going is good for engagement, but I hope clubs are managing their squads effectively to prevent burnout during this intense schedule.

It's exciting to have football over the holidays, but I do worry about the increased risk of player injuries without a proper break.

While the continuous action is great for fans, scheduling games right after Christmas could make it tough for supporters to travel to away matches.

It's a treat for football enthusiasts to have games through December, but the lack of a traditional winter pause might just dilute the quality of play later in the season.
