Could anyone explain why Football manager 2016 has so many players?

My fav is still FM11. I've played FM14 and I have missed some options they deleted in the latter version. But the game is pretty great strategy game. There are so many things you have to think about while managing the club it makes the game very complex and addictive. And if you're a football fan you're lost forever.

It's football. That is pretty much it.
