With the creation of the Conference League next season, we have to think about the competition format to be used, namely for the leagues.

The Conference League opens the opportunity to create new dates for the league (around 10).

In recent years we have a stable number of players around 60.

so there are 2 big options

1 - Create 2 divisions of 30 players
2 - Keep 3 divisions of 20 players and create like promotion / relegation play-offs (the 10 best in one side, the 10 following in the other side).

As far as I am concerned I much prefer the second one because it is much more interesting to play the promotion / relegation than being in mid-table in a large division.

I prepared a draft schedule which looked like this (sorry for poor formatting)



Regular - MD1 - Champions - MD1 - 16 games
Regular - MD2 - Europa - MD1 - 24 games
Regular - MD3 - Conference - MD1 - 16 games
Regular - MD4 - Champions - MD2 - 16 games
Regular - MD5 - Europa - MD2 - 24 games
Regular - MD6 - Conference - MD2 - 16 games
Regular - MD7 - Champions - MD3 - 16 games
Regular - MD8 - Europa - MD3 - 24 games
Regular - MD9 - Conference - MD3 - 16 games
Regular - MD10 - Champions - MD4 - 16 games
Regular - MD11 - Europa - MD4 - 24 games
Regular - MD12 - Conference - MD4 - 16 games
Regular - MD13 - Champions - MD5 - 16 games
Regular - MD14 - Europa - MD5 - 24 games
Regular - MD15 - Conference - MD5 - 16 games
Regular - MD16 - Champions - MD6 - 16 games
Regular - MD17 - Europa - MD6 - 24 games
Regular - MD18 - Conference - MD6 - 16 games
Regular - MD19 - Champions + Conference - R16 first leg (1/2) + PO first leg - 12 games
Play-offs - MD1 - Europa - R32 first leg - 16 games
Play-offs - MD2 - Champions + Conference - R16 first leg (2/2) + PO second leg - 12 games
Play-offs - MD3 - Europa - R32 second leg - 16 games
Play-offs - MD4 - Champions + Europa - R16 second leg (1/2) + R16 first leg - 12 games
Play-offs - MD5 - Conference - R16 first leg - 8 games
Play-offs - MD6 - Champions + Europa - R16 second leg (2/2) + R16 second leg - 8 games
Play-offs - MD7 - Conference - R16 second leg - 8 games
Play-offs - MD8 - All - Quarters 1st leg - 8 games
Play-offs - MD9 - All - Quarters 2nd leg - 8 games

if you agree n this, this means that 5 players from D3 would be promoted to D2.
I feel a bit annoyed as it looks like a bit opportunistic as I am involved in D3 this season but I promise that I behave in this specific case as the organizer and not as a player :)

Hi Lyonnais,

I think that keeping 3 leagues and having play-offs is preferable.
I'm not sure wih your schedule however
1. EuropaLeague also has 32 teams in it, so 16 games per MD?
2. in EuropaLeague there will first be a KO round between CL-3rd and EL-2nd: 8 games and then the R16, there is no R32
3. All quarters is 12 games

I think after winterbreak we have 4 matchweeks with each 20 games in it.
and then the quarters with 2x 12 games
that's only 6 MD for your games play-offs
Maybe semi's could lead with 2x6 = 12 games to MD 7
splitting up the first weeks to create an extra MD is hard. maybe all CL matches together (4x4)?

How many do you need for the play-offs?
What is your intention with the play-offs? Again a league format, or KO rounds?


I think we have the following games to play with in the new schedule
R16 CL 4 games
KO round CL/EL 8 games
KO round EL/ECL 8 games

R16 CL 4 games
KO-R round CL/EL 8 games
KO-R round EL/ECL 8 games

R16-R CL 4 games
R16 EL 8 games
R16 ECL 8 games

R16-R CL 4 games
R16-R EL 8 games
R16-R ECL 8 games

R8 CL 4 games
R8 EL 4 games
R8 ECL 4 games

R8-R CL 4 games
R8-R EL 4 games
R8-R ECL 4 games

semi 3x2

semi-Return 3x2

I prefer 3 leagues too.

From what I read Ricardo is right. Next season each of the 3 european cups will have a Group Stage with 32 teams, and both Europa and Conference will have a KO round between 3rd of CL vs 2nd of EL and another between 3rd of EL and 2nd of ECL.

Thanks for your feed back guys.

It would be much easier to have a 18 player-league but it seems to me difficult to tell PL players now that 5 of them will be relegated.

With a 20-player league we need 19 MDs for the regular season the 9 another MDs for the play-offs (the 10 best would play the promotion play-offs, the 10 other the relegation play-offs).

Let's try again with another schedule.
The trickiest thing is to have the end of the regular season and the start of the PO the same week.

Before winter break, it's easy we have the 18 first games will be players at Group stage level (3 x 6 games with 16 games each).

After winter break, the schedule could be the following


Regular - MD19 - Champions - R16 first leg 1/2 - 4 games
PO - MD1 - Europa - PO first leg - 8 games
Regular - MD19 - Conference - PO first leg - 8 games

PO - MD2 - Champions - R16 first leg 2/2 - 4 games
PO - MD3 - Europa - PO second leg - 8 games
PO - MD2 - Conference - PO second leg - 8 games

PO - MD4 - Champions - R16 second leg 1/2 - 4 games
PO - MD4 - Europa - R16 first leg - 8 games
PO - MD5 - Conference - R16 first leg - 8 games

PO - MD6 - Champions - R16 second leg 2/2 - 4 games
PO - MD6 - Europa - R16 second leg - 8 games
PO - MD7 - Conference - R16 second leg - 8 games

PO - MD8 - Champions - Quarters first leg - 4 games
PO - MD8 - Europa - Quarters first leg - 4 games
PO - MD8 - Conference - Quarters first leg - 4 games

PO - MD9 - Champions - Quarters second leg - 4 games
PO - MD9 - Europa - Quarters second leg - 4 games
PO - MD9 - Conference - Quarters second leg - 4 games

so MD19 of the regular season would be played with the Ch.L R16 first leg games + the 8 Conf.L PO first leg games.
and MD1 of the play-offs would be played with the EL PO first leg games.

The CL R16 first leg games (2x4) would be added to the Conference League games for (i) MD19 of the regular season and (ii) MD2 of the play-offs.
The CL R16 second leg games (2x4) would be added to the Europa League games for (i) MD4 and (ii) MD6 of the play-offs.

It's not ideal but this is the best solution I have :dontknow:

I'm agreeing with this, although it does not benefit my team :) We count on you Lyonnais to choose what is best for the game and for the players.

BTW, Isn't winning all the titles in Euro 12' considered as a major trophy? :wink:

I would suggest have all 20 games in the first week after the winter break as MD19, then you can have a clear cut-off and enough time to prepare the new schedule for the play off section starting the following week.
All of the play off match days could be shifted one later and then the new PO MD9 can be the 12 semi final games across two weeks.

Is it right that the play-offs will be: top 10 of div 1 / bottom 10 of div 1 / top 10 of div 2 / bottom 10 of div 2 / top 10 of div 3 / bottom 10 of div 3

Do you have a plan for what happens if players drop out in the middle of the season (it's quite likely with many more predictions that some will forget or find it's too much effort)? For example if a div 1 player drops out in the regular season, will the first place in div 2 join the "bottom div 1" play off section or stay in the "top div 2" section?

very good idea Martin. It makes much more sense. :up:

Well the idea is that players keep the points gained in the regular season for the play-offs (the play-offs being 9 additional games). So it is not possible to "promote a player" from one division to another in the middle of the season if somebody drops out.
So if a player drops out before Christmas break, the promotion play-offs would then have 10 players and relegation play-offs 9 players only (with 3 relegated players at the end).
If a player drops out after the Christmas break, then I suggest to do what we currently are doing, i.e. only 2 players will be relegated to the following division.

I presume that we are fine with D1/D2, but this whole model is based on the assumption that we have 60 players (i.e. meaning that D3 is the same as D1/D2). 60 players is roughly the average number of players in recent seasons (59 this season).

What happens if we have say 56 or 64 players?


< 60 players

If we have 56 players, then D3 would have 16 players only. Regular season would end after MD15.
There are then 2 options:
- either we make 2 groups of 8 players for the play-offs and possibly adjust the MDs (i.e. one MD per week only, rather than 2 for the other leagues) to end season.
- or we increase the number qualified for the promotion play-offs to fill all available dates. In this specific case, we would have 13 available dates (28 available dates - 15 used for the regular season). So we could have a promotion play-offs of 14 players but what about the remaining 2 players? As long as they post their predictions on a regular basis, they need to have as much consideration as the other players.

I thus vote for option 1

Note that if we have a really small number of players (say 50, i.e. D3 with 10 players only), then players would play each other 3 times.

> 60 players

It's more tricky.

If we have 64 players, D3 would then have 24 players and regular season would then end after MD23. There would be only 5 available dates left.
I think that the only reasonable solution is then to make groups of 6 players for the play-offs. We might have 4 different groups for the play-offs.

Note that if we have a larger number of players, say 70+ (not likely but it may happen), then we could split the players in two groups for the regular season, the best of each group competing for the play-offs.

Ok I understand now! Your suggestion is similar to the Scottish league system with 1 full round of matches before splitting the league in half for another half round of matches (compared to 3.5 rounds in Scotland). Yes I agree that makes sense.

Your plans for D3 if it has much more or less than 20 players also sound reasonable. I think you'll just need to take the final decision on the actual format on MD1 once you know the exact number of players in D3.

There's also a possibility to ignore the ECL and use only the CL and EL, but I'm not in favour of this option.

I think that there should be more promotion/relegations between D1/D2. Maybe 2-3 automatic promotions, plus 2-1 playoffs promotions, so 4 places in total.
the players that are in places 17-18 in D1 could participate in the relegation/promotion playoffs.

this would be a bit weird, wouldn't it?

There are no available dates to make additional play-offs and it would be like adding play-offs to the play-offs.

I agree that the current D2 is to me the most interesting format as most players have everything to play for until the end but it's not really possible with the new format. I however believe that the new play-offs (scottish system) may be interesting as the best players will play each other again and this should add some salt to the competition.

In real football, we only have 3 relegation for a 20-team league, but this doesn't mean that we absolutely need to comply with this.
However promotion should keep its value. It's an achievement to get promoted! :wink:

I furthermore want to add that because of players not showing up the following season, including sometimes in the Premier League, there are some opportunities to have additional promotion spots (I know it's not exactly the same but at the end you still get promoted).

So I would tend to keep the 3 promotion / relegation system. Let's try this new system and let's amend it if it doesn't work.
