The FA Cup is fine on its own. We don’t need the EFL Cup too. Most clubs priorities the FA Cup way more, it’s a more prestigious prize and the tournament has way more fixtures. Clubs also prioritise league matches over the EFL Cup anyway, so the EFL just adds to the fixture congestion of a lot of teams. Players are getting injured across every team anyway.

During a busy fixture schedule, clubs have to put together a team to play in the EFL cup midweek whilst trying to save their best players for the important league match 3 days later, but also trying not to get humiliated too badly in a Cup game that most teams don’t really care too much about.

    It would be really cool if the EFL cup turned into a youth only type tournament. Like you could only have 3-4 players over the age of 23 or something. Would be so much more worthwhile and fun for the fans to watch and great development.
