With up to 23 players, the 15-man rule cuts 8 players out and effectively there are only 3 substitutes (-GK), it doesn't help the young players to get game time and really limited the options on hand for coaches (especially if there are injuries during the game and some subs are already used), I think we should have at least 16 or even 18 for a match.

Thoughts??

Only taking 15 players will help keep costs a little lower. I think the other players need to play some other competitive matches though to help develop and give them a chance to break into the top team.
