They were making up numbers, after conference teams
were excluded, and just 8 epl teams, originally, iirc, and they were to play away from home. I don't think an official reason was given, but it was good experience. Teams were pretty weak in the main so they brought in a rule that efl teams had to contain a certain number of first steamers. 6 I think? Not really followed it of late as academy sides seem to have been weakened as they just got over powered. It's a nice tournament, but too much tinkering. |
