It was horrible when it was tried but I think now there would be some effort to incentivise being top of the lower half of the split along with winning a relegation battle. I agree on the 33 games, meaning being away twice to some clubs, efforts to rotate that annually were daft. Only thing I can think its play home and away and maybe then a draw for the 3rd round? or some sort of seeding, head to head in earlier rounds?
I should have mentioned in a previous post that the sense of playing side too often in a 10 team format also has to do with schedulig and the weighting of almost 3 rounds done by midsummer. I know its to help with fiture congestion if teams progress in Europe but it seems to lack balance also.
