I support this,
But i think #2 isn’t the main concern, i don’t see the point for a player of having two slots, i mean it’s way too obvious, what can they do ? Make two teams for the euro and play twice ?
The issue for me is more that this player have absolutely no pressure: they have a slot, they play at best for fun or at worst to help another team to get a slot.
It makes absolutely no sense competitive wise, it’s just breaks the stats.
Now, i think a survey about which teams plans to go is still relevant.
As Hot Dogs : we take the slot.
