Fix the League Match Schedule!

Okay, I'm sure I'm not the first person to bring this up but [b]please can we have more appropriate League Schedule?[/b] Arguably the most important matches, the official Senior U23, U21 and U18 League have this kind of Schedule: [img]http://s16.postimg.org/qam5zukph/image.png[/img] Now, at first glance nothing is too wrong with this... [b]but why should there be a gap of 21 rounds for Team A and B to play each-other, while Team A and Team L play consecutively?[/b] This is especially bad in matches in Round 11 when there's been a red card! For example, my main U18 defender got sent off in Round 11 against a tough team 25 minutes in... we lost 4-0. Am I upset about that? Not really because that can happen in real games, What I am upset about is that player can't play in the next match... [b]against the same opponent[/b]... There should be damage control on the random acts in the game, instead of having a slight disadvantage against another team, that may be lower in the league, I've pretty much automatically been put in a position where one team's going to dominate me this season and there's nothing I can really do about it. I can't play them this season with my full team. [b]Why aren't all the League Schedules set up like this?[/b] [img]http://s16.postimg.org/qm3mcm15h/image.png[/img] That's pretty much how the National Cup Group Stages are already set up like on ManagerZone, why aren't the League Matches set up that way too? I really hope this changes for next season, under the different format: [ul] [li]If a player gets sent off, there's never the situation where you'll have to play the same team again and pretty much lose both times against them, [li]Each team have an equal and fair gap of 11 rounds before they play each-other again.[/li] [/ul] What is everyone's opinions on this? Do you think the current League Schedule should change to the format the National Cup Group Stages uses too or not? *edit* A minor fix ~geoOkay, I'm sure I'm not the first person to bring this up but please can we have more appropriate League Schedule?

What is everyone's opinions on this? Do you think the current League Schedule should change to the format the National Cup Group Stages uses too or not?

I'm backing up for this too because the schedules are inappropriate at times.I'm backing up for this too because the schedules are inappropriate at times.

Haha yeah, I tend to mess around with colours way too much. xD Thank you and yeah it is rare for it to have too much of an impact but when you have an important player sent off in Round 11 and he can't play in Round 12 against the same opponents... it just feels really unfair and it seems like a completely avoidable situation too, if the schedules were set up more appropriately.

Firstly, brilliant post, Geo. I generally think that the League System needs addressing, schedule included. The schedule itself is unrealistic, again, as Geo has pointed out, when would this ever happen? I get that it makes life easier for the Crew, but why not just do A-L again instead of simply reversing it? It prevents this whole having to wait 20 games to face each other again. Then there's the whole back to back games, having players sent off which, can be championship deciding. Then there's the text on match day reports, which need serious addressing as well. Because in all fairness, they're not great. As much as I love MZ, and I support the Crew in what they do (with the belief they're improving the system) there are things that really, really do need to be patched up. I won't get into that here though.Firstly, brilliant post, Geo.
