90 minutes straight to replays. Everything up to the 4th round gets a replay (likely to be lucrative to lower league teams and great for that club)

given the importance of these things, the current penalty shoot out massively favours the kicker, and it becomes a bit of a lottery. Its a very poor way of deciding the match. There must be a way of giving the keepers a bit more of a chance. Maybe having the kick taken from further back at the edge of the area rather than where it is, with maybe a defender and a second attacker- allowed to touch the ball once

I've always liked the idea of penalties BEFORE the match starts. No.extra time. Everyone knows in advance who wins if time runs out on a draw. Imagine the utter chaos as the clock ticks down and the the team that lost tbe shoot out know they HAVE to go for broke.

How about.......If it is a draw after 120 minutes then the lower ranking team wins ?
Thus the higher ranking team knows that it has to win to go through. This probably would mean that there will be a result....the higher ranking team have to push hard for a goal and either get it or get punished.

Play the last extra time 9v9. Then go to penalties - but think shootouts would be very rare.

I think what we have now is the best option. Can't realistically have replays now unfortunately.

The change I'd really like to see is to scrap the League Cup - or make it for EFL Clubs only.

It would increase the importance of the FA Cup if there was only one Cup competition and relieve fixture congestion.

'Extend extra time until a goal is scored'

Folk were already losing an hour's sleep on Saturday, let alone arriving home at dawn.
