For those saying get rid of International Friendly's, 2 things
1. all international dates are set by Fifa & there isn't anything the FA or Premier League can do about those so the domestic calendar has to be set around those &
2. The Uefa nations League is designed to reduce the amount of Friendly's & increase the amount of games that "matter" (Not saying it will, just passing on the message)
I would be in favour of a couple of weeks break after the FA Cup 3rd Round games.
The problem with scrapping the League Cup for all PL teams is those not in Europe it leaves with realistically only the FA Cup to try & win. So maybe any team in Europe is excused from the League Cup, gives lower prem team a shot at winning something & a route into Europe & gives those in Europe some rest on League Cup nights?
Cup replays, I can see the sense in getting rid (extra money we have to pay out etc...) but can see the downside for lower league clubs, although having the game sorted on the day maybe gives a better chance of knocking a higher team out on Pen's than grabbing a draw at home then getting done in the replay 4/5-0.
I think the PL should look at getting a fixture put midweek at the start of the season, the first 3 games of the season are played over the weekends with a week gap then the international break. Could get a game in between the first & second weekends (like they used to) *note, may clash with CL qualifier so not even that straight forward.
Interesting to what they come up, especially in 2022 when the World Cup is in November/December & i believe there will be a 6 week PL break to accommodate!
