Hear, hear!

And what about the meaningful choice of picking Yeremenko or Halonen?

There could be something like a fatigue mechanic
where your starting XI begins running out of steam if
it’s deployed the same way game after game after
game.

But I can’t think of a way to implement that (or am
too lazy to try).

Interesting idea!

But it's already there in the probability of getting injured or knocked.

Off the top of my head: every N consecutive games you use the same
tactic, your best remaining player is "banned". (and every N consecutive games you do _not_ use a given tactic, your worst banned player is
"unbanned" for that tactic). But I already hear Futbolmetrix saying "boneheaded" in the distance...

No, I feel nice today. But you are fixating on this idea that the only "meaningful" choice in the game is the formation choice, and... one can disagree about this.

If you bring back Pat in his unrestricted version and fire Helen (so no
more medical doping), you would get a few more meaningful choices: play
3-4-3 with da Bull knocked, or 4-4-2 but give da Bull time to heal?
