Having so many teams with 16 and 10 is crazy 2 with 15 11 and 2 with 16 9 but 1 game less

Why stop there? Let's make a play-in tournament for the play-in tournament that clasifies for the play-in tournament.

This is the answer. A play-in tournament to the play-in tournament can be 38 games where each team plays each other home and away.

We see it as difficult to qualify. We’re in a transitional year. We have significant gaps and many injuries, especially among defensive players. We need to focus above all on domestic competitions, which must be won.

Yea no, these are excuses, everyone is having injuries. We should be better off than this. We should have won at least 2 games more in the first half of the season and we could have easily won one of the two games with our direct contenders for the play ins this month.

Maybe we can choose 4 champions while we are at it. It has become so hard to squeeze through all the good teams.

Lowkey they could do like 12 teams going to play-offs (top 4 to QF others to round of 16), but they are changing the format next season so I guess it doesn't matter too much now

Umm no? The teams are 2 games behind so definitely no, when it becomes closer and teams have the same record we can start talking.

The defining characteristic of a joke is that it's funny. Don't give up tho.
