I would argue that some of our top referees are getting too many - top referees in Germany, France, Spain and Italy are getting no more than 20 games in a season (fewer in most countries) - Oliver and Taylor got 28 matches each this season. They could easily spread the appointments out better so the less experienced referees get a few more games.
France (38 rounds):
The most matches anyone got was 20 (Brisard, Lesage and Buquet) - Turpin got 19
Spain (38 rounds):
The most matches anyone got was 21 (Gonzalez Fuertes and del Cerro Grande) - Lahoz got 18
Germany (34 rounds):
The most matches anyone got was 17 (Grafe and Brych).
Italy (38 rounds):
The most matches anyone got was 18 (Mariani) - Orsato got 15
Hungary 33 Rounds

We've had really bad problems with covid within the league & a lot of our referees have either been out having tested positive themselves or in quarantine after players from the game they were in tested positive so we have used NBII referees more than normal. They'd normally do 3/4 games max per season. We've also had VAR training going on during the spring season so a lot of the refs have missed games because they were sat in the VAR van practicing although there were no comms linked with the on field referee team.
