It may. But in my opinion, there are two players that you’d need to have out to make a sizeable dent in their title hopes: Rodri and Haaland.

I honestly don’t think so; it is helpful to be able to give senior players a 20-30 minute cameo to keep them sharp without having to risk them for the entire 90 minutes. There’s a reason why we’ve suffered after going out in the cups the past few years.
