Perhaps a dumb question but oh well

Is there any reason why you have to have a squad of 25?
Since money and wages will always be a problem, why not have just a squad of 18-20 to hold down the costs? Wouldn't it be better to raise wages for 18 than water them down for 25? Could always use younger players for practice purposes if that is an issue. What makes 25 sacred?
