If friendlies are useless and a fitness exercise

Why play them? Why not intrasquad scrimmages? You get 22 players fit at a time rather than 11-15. Also would be competing against fellow Premier league competition in your own teamates. Manager could get a better look at more players and combinations and intrasquad competition for a place would be invaluable. All you ever hear on here is pre-season is a waste of time, well then change it for the better. I don't get it.
