Whereas a club like Birmingham or Norwich might have 10 or so home grown players who could play at cship level.
So they have a squad of say 35 to choose from whereas we’re picking from about 18 -25 depending on the walking wounded
That’s a big gap in available resources
Flour that's exactly the point, have a look on this link thses are the initial squads that went into the efl once the transfer window closed, before anyone signed any free agents.

I will give you one example QPR tipped by many to be down there with us have a squad of 22 players BUT also have a squad of 21 under 21 players on professional contracts, so they can choose from a squad of 43 players.
