I completely agree. Any extra income is always welcome, however these games are glorified reserve team fixtures at best and it's an insult to lower league clubs to play against these franchises of premier league teams in a competitive fixture. Only premier league teams benefit.
That was not Everton we played last night, just because they played in their shirts. Evertons first team squad has 27 players consisting of 3 goalkeepers, 8 defenders, 8 midfielders and 8 strikers of which none of those players are in it.
They had 6 appearances in the Premier League between them, 5 from Luke Garbutt and 1 for Callum Connolly (1 sub)
