    As die-hard Supercoach Players we have always sat back and been little disappointed that they haven't implemented an Eliminator style game like Dream Team have for years. Most other fantasy sports around world have a game within the game.
    There is nothing better than seeing your side, which might be out of overall or finals contention make a late season run in knockout competition. It gives you something to play for.
    Well here at Too Serious we are thinking of taking this to the next level. In that other football”, otherwise known as soccer here in Australia the Champions League is one of the biggest club tournaments going around. What makes this so good? Well basically even the smaller clubs get to play a few games and aren't knocked out in first week if they come up against one the big rich clubs.
    What we are thinking is to base a competition on this. It would include a Group Stage” and then go onto Knockout Stage” later in the year, after each side has played each other twice (or more if there is no real interest) in the group stage. The top 2 or 4 of each group would go through to final 16/32 (all depending on numbers)
    Based on my calculations, and bear in mind that maths wasn't my strongest subject at school if we could get 64 players it would run smoothly.
    8 groups of 8 teams, play each other twice = 14 games
    Top 4 go through.

    5 knockout rounds = 22 rounds
    In that we don't play at all during 3 bye weeks.
    That leaves 1 round free, which is good as thinking due to all players that get rested in last round of season we could have final in Round 22.
    Obviously we don't have any idea how many people would be interested, so if it interests you please let us know. We would potentially require people to put their hand up to be group captain” to update results from each group.
    **Please note this is still just idea that we've had and obviously lot work needs to go into it to get it up and running**

    You can either let me know on Twitter @stkildathunda or post below! We are also open to ideas on how to make it better/work!
