Analysis:
-
Tier 1 (MLSP): The maximum number of players on loan is set to 3, reflecting the high competitive standards and the likely focus on developing homegrown talent rather than relying heavily on loans.
-
Lower Tiers: As we move down the tiers, the number of players allowed on loan increases. This reflects the growing reliance on loans in lower divisions where clubs might not have the financial resources to maintain a large, fully contracted squad.
This table helps ensure a balanced approach to squad building across all levels, allowing lower-tier teams more flexibility to bring in talent on a temporary basis.
