How about increasing the squad size and adding the morale aspect to stop squads getting ridiculously large? For me the squad size at present seems too small, which limits the amount of things you can do with your club/squad.

That’s one of the first things we are going to do once morale is implemented! We’ve got some basic morale stuff being tracked behind the scenes but it’s not being used to influence any aspects of the game. The only reason we decided to introduced star players before morale is because we had a more clear view of what we wanted to do about it and how to do it than with morale.
