Adding "bye" option is then like extra round of cup, then those teams are like playing ghosts. In Poland thats practically impossible.
In real life, in my country the teams from lower divisions are playing only reginal cup and through it they can join later if they come to reginal final cup. Teams in top 2 leagues dont participate at all in those reginal cups.
In real life its different in England or Spain or.. its like you are mentioning...

But then your way comes with the problem of the season lenght in sokker (for Poland atleast).
If we say there are already some sokker regions in specific land (like Poland) save top 256 or 512 or 128 or 64 teams in ranking of playing this regional cup and let them play only main polish cup. Others are playing regional and i think more managers will be happy, since then they can play something for 4-5 rounds or win it instead of getting kicked out in round 1 or 2. Teams in main cup are then also happier since then the final is much closer, so not that it last full season.
With this sokker gains also additional flexibility of placing cup in 2nd part of season, which would level ratio of games per week.
Other option could be like i suggested in the picture, 4 games will appear in by maximum 12% teams in one week, which is not that bad.

Can you make your picture in a way that the saturday is first day, since on that day is age update. Similar like i did. Or perhaps you agree with my proposal just that league start sooner? But still would be better with you picture starting saturday and then we can see where is the start of international cup.
I would say that cup should end in all leagues before the league ends. And i guess it will be the case except for Poland(2 teams)
Also i believe that many teams are good in sokker so i doubt that we will have a team who is fighting in same moment to win the national league title, national cup and is in the international cup final 4.
Its possible but then that team is so stranog that it will win it "no sweat" :).

I've always viewed Thursday as the 1st day of the week as Friday is the first training day (or Thursday if you were in the International Cup).

I think the League Cup should probably end right after the League does, but not in the same week. I think the League Cup works better if there's no temptation to use it as a training game because you want to win the league, but then you also have to avoid the playoff.
I'll redo the image for what I think is ideal.

Well age update should be start and curently after that comes sunday friendly and wednesday friendly, then thursdays training update (which include friday friendly from previous season) and then friday cup

Without completely reworking what games are on what days, I think this is probably the best I can come up with.

League ends on Wednesday 1st
League Cup ends on Friday 3rd
Playoff on Sunday 5th
World Cup Final on the Saturday 11th
International Cup Final on Monday 13th

Or you could move the IC Final back onto Monday 6th so it's before the World Cup Final.

To be honest, if we say f*** the youth league, I like the idea of having the IC Cup on a Tuesday.

The clubs season would end

Wednesday League Final
Day off
Friday League Cup Final
Day off
Sunday Playoff Final
Day off
Tuesday IC Final

That's a great way the end the club season.

For me some rank of competition is 1. International, 2. National league 3. National cup. It should end opposite, so 3 2 1.
Playing Monday or Tuesday, at this point is not so relevant.
And i hope you can manage your schedule as week 1 starting from Saturday. Then to be clear where is what.
And up to DEVs then if they want to do any of these proposals.
