Football Manager News

The quarter finals were undoubtedly the most closely contested round of the EFL Football Manager Cup yet. As the tournament heads into the semi-finals and finals this weekend, the competitiveness was ramped up to a new level. We saw a couple of shock results, extra-time drama and a thrilling last minute winner. Here’s the full round-up.

The remaining eight teams in the inaugural EFL Football Manager Cup enter the quarter-finals knowing that just three more wins will secure them the title. The next stage of the tournament, which is being run in partnership with the EFL and their charity partner Mind, will see two games played on Tuesday 12th May and two games on Wednesday 13th May. 

We’re heading towards the business end of the tournament and the round of 16 provided arguably the best entertainment yet in the EFL Football Manager Cup.

We saw five all-Championship ties, three local derbies and one all-time classic cup encounter that featured three red cards, three disallowed goals and an incredibly tense penalty shootout.
 

Five all-Championship affairs. Two big derbies. One League Two side hoping to cause an upset against one of the tournament favourites. The stakes are much higher as we now find ourselves on the verge of the round of 16 in the inaugural EFL Football Manager Cup.

The next stage of the tournament, which is being run in partnership with the EFL and their charity partner, Mind, will see all eight games played across Tuesday and Wednesday evening. Here are the big stories to look out for in the round of 16. 
 

Three 5-0 victories, a penalty shootout and a costly sending off were amongst the best bits of action from round two of the EFL Football Manager Cup.

10 new teams joined the tournament at this stage, hoping to make their mark on the competition while the 22 sides who made it through the first round were looking to build on their performances and mark themselves out as early favourites. Here’s how the second week panned out.
