The Cup

Which would you prefer to be the format for this season's cup competition?

The options are;


Spanish Group, German Group, English Group, Italian Group, then 2 from each group make the quarter finals.

or

Structured tournament brackets so that you will face one from your own country in the Last 16 and if you get through, the Quarter Finals as well. It will mean you'd definitely get 1 from each country in the Semi Finals.

or

Open draw Tournament.

Open knockouts, stop being wimps guys.

Regionalised if fun as then you can play the other teams in your region and knock them out becoming King of your region.

If it were group/k.o. would it be top of each group goes on to semi finals?

Regional!!! Come on! I want to play the other Italian teams and show them whos BOSS!

Probably top two to the quarter finals.

Definitely open comp. Separate the wheat from the chaff.

Whats wrong? All the other Italian teams scared of mine? Reional lads come on, lets have some local rivalries in this cup comp

Doing fixtures, so once you know the plan for the cup, let me know how many weeks you need

I'd like it regional as well, build up the local rivalries!

Regionalised Groups

4 weeks if knockout, 6 if groups.

Can I change my vote from open to regional group?

I want to recast my vote from Regionalised Knockout Brackets to Regionalised Groups making it 7 votes each

Actually because i changed mine, open went down 1 also

Regionalised Groups is it!!!

COme on people, I want to be King of the Italian teams, why you scaerd for?

I want the challenge of potentially playing a good team early, rather than being guaranteed some wins against some soft Italian teams

Actually, I have no strong opinion on any.

I only voted the way I did because I wanted to keep the fixture list down

I've no problem with playing against anyone, but if it was regionally based I would lean towards the knockout system.

So you need 6 weeks of cup and the league need 7 weeks, so same as last season, alternating weeks okay with you? Do you want the cup final in the last week (in which case the cup can start after week 2 of the league)

Yeah that's fine. As in;

Week 1: Gameweek 1 League
Week 2: Gameweek 2 League
Week 3: Gameweek 1 Cup (Group Stage)
Week 4: Gameweek 3 League
Week 5: Gameweek 2 Cup (Group Stage)
Week 6: Gameweek 4 League
Week 7: Gameweek 3 Cup (Group Stage)
Week 8: Gameweek 5 League
Week 9: Gameweek 4 Cup (Quarter Finals)
Week 10: Gameweek 6 League
Week 11: Gameweek 5 Cup (Semi Finals)
Week 12: Gameweek 7 League
Week 13: Gameweek 6 Cup (Final)
