6 TV games selected, 12 teams showcased, and 9 of them are Premier League teams.

It's a disgrace really.

The worst part is, financially, these PL teams don't need the income. I'd even say we probably don't need it, although it will be welcomed.

Whereas, some of the teams, especially non-league, would be incredible grateful of the extra revenue, which could go a long way in securing their future in the game.

Maybe at least two of the live games should involve the two lowest-ranked teams left in the competition. Just to spread the money around a bit. Spreading the round out from Thursday to Monday as well, I don’t see the need. It just winds people up. Making Everton travel to Palace on a Thursday night for no reason.
