They have 26 1st team pros now! only 1 less than we have.
Pretty sure we accumulated ours over 2-3 months, they’ve done that over 3 weeks odd, playing their first games with only 12-15 first teamers available, many of them free agents and literally only playing for the first time in months, no pre-season, no proper training also quiet a few of them have only played at lower levels or have no experience. So yes they may have 26 players now, but in the national league they can sign them pretty much any time so they’ve still been adding players, but that’s caveated by the same players being able to leave soon after if the contract isn’t worth much
