We should play the EDS team in the Carabao Cup, and FA Cup, and any 'dead rubbers' in the CL.

We should do what we always do: a team packed with the best players we have.

Me again. How did you get the co-efficients for teams that have gone none previously?

If a team has no recent European history, its country coefficient is used to determine its seeding so first timers from England or Spain would be ranked higher than a team from for example, Austria. All the info can be found here:

Are United in it?

They enter at the knockout stage ;-)

@Alfie Budd has provided a better answer than I was going to waffle towards.

I normally do the leg work but have found an excellent twitter account that I have stolen from to get the image with the provisional pots. @FootRankings is worth a follow.

With increased squad numbers, I'd agree.

As it stands, the limits on numbers and the number of games (not least increasingly unimportant ones) will do nothing but wear players out.

The Carabao Cup should be ditched for any club that's involved in European competition. The expansion of European tournaments will ultimately kill the domestic game.

Perhaps the new format will help convince pep to extend his stay, a new challenge for him, I don’t think he’ll get a better set of players anywhere else to start the campaign with plus whatever new editions we get in the summer transfer window, fingers crossed.

How do they decide who's home or away?

 

[Gazza]

Are the extra games the reason why they've cancelled FA cup replays?

Not got a clue, suspect they will fudge something up on the day of the draw.

UEFA and FIFA not in the slightest bit interested in anybody's domestic cup competitions.

They want excusively to take over European and World football respectively.

To cut down on fixtures teams may have to sacrifice the domestic cups.
