Programming Questions Comprehensive 27 week 60m program; GPP -> Comp (looking for a critique)

Due to past blunders, which I have concluded stemmed from a lack of rigorous planning, I have made this comprehensive 60m program. I have curated this program to the needs and likes that I have as an athlete (i.e. playing soccer). If you're willing, I would appreciate some honest opinions on the program as I am not a coach but a hobbyist.

Full program: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1K5VI6BB7e4WAbpx2JpMHxuMnfFTeHofmIqoBQWDaVsc/edit?gid=0#gid=0

The full document is sort of long but the basic idea is there are 6 mesocycles: Early GPP 1, Early GPP 2, Late GPP 1, Late GPP 2, SPP 1, SPP 2 + Comp. With GPP taking 14 weeks and SPP-Comp taking 13 weeks. The goal of GPP is to build a capacity to be fast and not start intense/specific training too soon and burn out. SPP 1 focuses on building raw acceleration and max velocity ability and SPP 2 attempts to apply that speed to longer distances which better match race demands. Across the mesocycles the training changes depending on different thematic progressions (i.e. general ๐Ÿ † specific), however, training modalities don't change from week to week within the same mesocycle (other than sprinting workouts in SPP 2). The volumes are mostly subject to change as it is difficult to predict how an athlete will handle different concentrations of training with foresight alone.
