It's simple really if a player goes down and gets the game stopped then her should be forced to leave the field and only return on the referees say so, that should soon deter fake injuries where they don't want the trainer on but the ref is compelled to halt the game.
Also I would bring in a rule where the 4th official brings drinks to the centre circle and all players have to stay away from the touchline to avoid deliberate coaching breaks.
Unfortunately it needs refs with a spine to carry this out so never going to happen.
I don't think that's fair.
It takes backing from the EFL and/or FA. A statement acknowledging the issue before announcing a crackdown.
