We've not yet had a single game where we had more than a 4 day gap while more than half our games had just a 2 day gap.
82% of our games had max 3 day gap.
We'll have a 6 day gap between games for the first time this season after the game on Sunday vs Burnley — well deserved.

The first 5 games of the season were treated as a pre-season by Ole as we were denied a normal pre-season.
In those 5 games we made 10, 9, 10, 10 rotations each game respectively.
This hasn't boosted the numbers much, but still here's the stats with those games removed ⤵️

As is evident Ole has rotated the squad superbly to fend off fatigue. No team in the top 5 leagues have played as many as us or had a midweek game every week.
Considering this + no pre-season, such rotation is why we're 2nd — squad management 101.

But players like Harry, AWB, Bruno & Rash have played almost every single game.
1st three are Ole signings & have incredible fitness records — rarely injured in their whole career.
Rashford unfortunately is hard to drop as he's our only firing forward — but Ole must do better.

Maintaining results to be 2nd while making on average 4.7 rotations/game with a bench as thin as ours is an incredible testament to just how good Ole is at management, especially when you consider the bench the likes of City & CFC have.
Now give him a full squad & pre-season. 🥂

If you add up the games in the "gap/game stat" you'll see 4 games are missing, this isn't a mistake — 3 of those games in question are the one right after each of the 3 international breaks and the fourth is the very first game of the season.
