England 2019/20
Posted: Fri Jan 31, 2020 7:21 pm
This is an update for the England definition. This update uses the league structure used in England for the 2019/20 season. This definition includes some minor cup competitions for teams below level 4.For the season 2019/20 England League 1 will run with only 23 teams instead of 24 because Bury were expelled just after the season had started but I have left them in League 1. I do need to do more work on the calendar for this definition, it does become a bit hectic between weeks 11 and 15. This is due to the size of individual leagues and teams competing in various domestic cups.
Work needs to be done of revamping the EFL Trophy to include Premier League and Championship academy teams and change the first round to a group stage. This will included next season.
All team names used in this definition are real team names, as used for the 2019/20 season and any reserve/B teams have been removed, in which case a league would run with a smaller number of teams. The reason reserve/B teams are removed is that where leagues allow reserve/B teams to compete there is usually a block on those teams being promoted above a certain level and forbids those teams from it's national cup.
