Eh only the best of best are playing too much. And they get compensated more, waaayyyy more than enough for that.

Every team in the Championship plays 48 games, every team in League 1 and League 2 plays 51 if they get knocked out of every cup at the first possible opportunity and don't make the promotion playoffs.

When you have so many players getting injured, especially young players, there is no point talking about money, it could hinder football quality for a whole generation.

It's not about compensation, but about the threshold of what the human body can endure. Players are getting injured so often they cannot catch a break to heal properly, because there is yet another game and their teammates are getting injured too, because they had to play more to cover for other injured players. Vicious circle.
