Senior with no playtime or u19 with playtime?

I am 18 years old and I play in the lowest tier of senior football in Sweden. I played the group stage in our district tournament which takes place before the season starts. During that time my team was still recruiting players to the team and now we have better players in my position and I have not played any games this season so far (although I missed 3 games due to injury). My coach told me that it is going to be hard for me to get any game time and that he would go to a u19 team or another senior team if he were in my position. My team will most likely reach the promotion playoffs.

I don't know if I should leave the team and go to a u19 team where I would get more game time, or if I should stay and adapt to the senior intensity, but only through our training sessions. I am currently overweight but I have lost a couple of KGs and I am planning on losing more. My biggest problem right now is that I dont have the endurance to play for a long time and my quality drops off quite quickly. Losing weight would allow me to output my quality for a longer time. I have been going to the gym for a couple years so I habe muscle to keep up, it is just that I am not lean and I can't run long.

So what should I do?

Low tier senior or u19 mid tier?

Boot caves in on the beginning part of the big toe

My boot caves in on my big toe when they bend ( during walking or running). They don't feel too big and they don't feel to tight either. These are size 28.5jp and I don't have this problem on the size 28jp (the toe box is killing my toes in those). Could it be that I have to lace them some type of way?

Is this too much space? And how much does the ligera pro stretch/mold?

I am wondering if this is too much space to have at the end of the boot? It feels like it is slightly too long but if I go down half a size then they might be too narrow, only way I could size down is if they stretch/mold to a decent extent.

How likely am I to catch something?

I am going on a party holiday with the boys abroad but I am wondering how likely I am to catch something if I make out with a lot of people? I want to know so that I can book a test close after getting back.

How much does the morelia 2 pro stretch in the mid/forefoot?

I just got the morelia 2 pro and they feel very tight in the midfoot. I wish the toe box was slightly wider. I get hot spots in the midfoot after a couple of minutes. It feels like there isnt enough width in the midfoot so it gets kinda squished. I am wondering if they will stretch out enough for them to be comfortable in the midfoot ? Which is the only part that is uncomfortable.

I do prefer a snug fit, but without pain.

I am looking too buy the morelia 2 pros. I need a boot that is short and has a low amount of volume in the toe box whilst still being wide. For reference, the alpha 2 has too much volume in the toe box, the ligera pro is slightly narrow. Any recommendations?

I have tried the mizuno alpha 2 in size 10,5uk but they had too much volume in the toe area and I had about 1.75cm of length left. In the mizuno morelia IV size 10.5uk, the toe space volume was good but they had the same length. The nike ligera pros in size 45.5EU, they were very good regarding width but they were still too long.

I am now considering either the morelia 2 pro or the monarcida neo pro, I have heard that they are some of the widest boots on the market, however I would still have to go down to a size 9-9,5 uk to suit the length of my foot, a size that I have never had before when buying boots because I always prioritized the width in "narrower" boots. I am therefore wondering if the morelia 2 pro and monarcida neo pro are wide enough for me to go down a couple sizes to suit the length?

Also, I would not mind if anyone has any recommendations of shorter boots that are still fairly wide

Thanks in advance

I tried on the ligera pros in size 45.5eu, I had 1cm ( full thumb width) of space at the end but width was very good, slightly too tight but I am expecting it to stretch out slightly. The mizuno morelia IV pros that I am currently wearing in size 46 EU are also same length but have stretched a bit too much. Should I try 45EU on the mizunos which would be good regarding the length but maybe a bit too tight ( would probably stretch out)? Are there any other boots you would recommend based on the information? I have a fairly wide foot.
