Your formats seem very complicated. The current format works, I guess. Not sure how many teams there are, but it's just simple knockout football.

My biggest complaint is the prize money. As a level 17 team, I was guaranteed to progress much further and get much more money under the old format. Now I'm waiting to see my next opponent, I could get knocked out in the qualifying round. I barely made a profit in the first round, with a 3.25M bonus for the first leg which I drew, so I didn't pay up, and then a 7.5M bonus for the second leg at home which I won 2-1, but still made a profit on the day due to prize money and ticket and merchandise sales. With money being so hard to come by, the best outcomes for me would be a high scoring draw away, and a low scoring draw at home, going through on away goals without paying a cent of win bonus.
