CONCACAF Champions League, Nations League and Gold Cup tournaments have created congested schedules and hardships for MLS players and teams.
, the team’s coach, said if MLS wants to keep adding games it will have to rethink its roster rules, which impose a salary budget of $5.21 million per team. Teams may also sign three designated players, whose salaries count only partially against the cap, and can spend an additional $4.62 million in allocation money, exceptions to the budget caps designed to give teams a mechanism to attract top talent.
That breaking point will come at different times for different teams, but LAFC might have brushed the wall already. Juggling MLS and CONCACAF Champions League games at the same time, the team played five games in two countries in a 15-day period without winning a game, going 407 minutes without scoring a goal.
The scheduling crunch isn’t just an issue in the U.S. It’s also affecting play in Europe. Kevin De Bruyne, who played 57 matches in 10 months for Manchester City and Belgium, was so battered by the end he couldn’t finish his club’s two most important matches, the FA Cup and Champions League finals, getting subbed off both times.
