Likewise, it's only a comparatively few players who are playing ridiculous numbers of matches.

A full international at a top club who regularly qualifies for Europe may play 50-60 matches a season, but a non-international at a lower half of the table club like Everton is probably playing a fairly normal 35-40 matches.
Championship players regularly play 40-50 games a season, two games a week. Every week... and take in millions a year less.

It's hard for the vast majority of fans to have sympathy for any Premier League player.
