Subject: FA Cup - Season 37

Ah bums, the recent changes in promoting human teams up the leagues has made the FA Cup draw a bit more exciting, and probably because i'm now also in III and a poor rank.

I've got a 2 year old III team and look to be making an early exit!

I'll play against dlrspare2000. He was lucky :)

I got a bot...one of the few...

Bot here too.

All these cup changes mean is I'll be out in R2 instead of my usual R3.

When is the group draw for U21?

What has that got to do with the FA Cup?

So if you play a youth side for your cup games you now get less training because getting knocked out earlier = 15% less training for a freindly , all add's up if you are used to getting to the 5th round but get kncoked out in the 1st.

Is this the same for all the other countries already or does this just hinder the countries that have had this recent change, i just hope it's fair.

I think it affects all countries whereby the user count has got low enough to warrant deleting the last Series.

I guess it's fair, but it is a bit of a kick in the teeth to the smaller countries in playing catch-up with ones with a greater user base.

Yup, was a shock to see such a decent team in the 1st round, makes my game very close but if i get through i'd need a good draw to get any further.

When you finish in the top 3 you always have to play the best 3 teams 1st aswell which makes it very hard now in the early rounds of the cup, and the lesser teams who really should'nt be playing there best teams (in my opinion) advance.

But you can argue they need the funds more that they would get advancing a few more rounds, if i'd just started i'd want some sort of catch up.

You are a jammy so and so!

It seems as though whoever did the clean up has left some user owned teams that are not even in the cup!

Surely top teams would get a bye so i assume they are not in it, seems as though the 1's highlighted in blue arnt init , whats going on? :(

No idea, sorry.

I'm out. Outmarked my opponent by 8, and it looks like he had a standard tactic. However, it appears his far superior goalkeeper was the main difference.

I got through but i reckon i'm out next round.

I see there's 128 teams in the cup if you fall outside of 128 ranking you are not in the cup, i suppose thats fair as there arnt that many outside 128....

Through to the cup quarters now. It's all going horribly wrong this season.

I wish my season was going horribly wrong if that would mean me being top of the Prem and being in cup quarter-finals ;-)

Looks like your cup run will end there though...
