I have no national tournament game from the all-star week (only the friendly on Thursday), so that sounds ok to me (I suppose there's a schedule glitch regarding the cup games and such somewhere but IIRC, the active teams will play the cup games and the eliminated ones will be able to play a friendly instead. I've never had a cup game on Tuesday (if that's the case) but if others do, than I would hope that the game would allow for the eliminated teams to play a friendly instead, as per the (paralel) "general rule" so that everyone can have the same "playing time").
Again, the main thing is/would be that the all-star week is a regular season week just like all/any others (pre-playoffs).
Otherwise, the ASG (week) will always be detrimental to the teams/players/game shapes instead of being something to look for, at least for the vast majority of players, since they'll have a game less compared to the cup teams (if I've understood correctly).

Imho it´s really unfair. Once you are eliminated of national tournament, you don´t get any income playing scrimmages while you can be punished with injuries. And teams who still play national tournament can acumulate enthusiasm while the others can´t.

It´d be interesting to propose acumulate enthusiasm in scrimmage games. What dou you think?

It would be nice if there could be a League Cup, just between the teams in your league (just 4 games, knock-out competition) since it would allow everyone from every league to (potentially) win something every year but the schedule already isn't working (the dreaded ASG week missing game), so I'm pretty sure there's no room for that either.

I second this.

It just adds to the depth of the game. Everyone can play 2 games a week with their starters and throw the 3rd game (usually friendly).

Good players have to make extra decisions, take extra risks and be rewarded.

There just isn't a third game to play in the ASG week, that's the problem (for the cup eliminated players).
So yes, we're being taken all that away, which sucks. You have 2 games to do what you should be doing with 3.
Do you second that?

Yes, I'm for it. I'm actually for an All "League" team at the end of the season, which doesn't exist yet. And also stat leaders winners, which might be relevant in player's histories.

I would correct you there. That would be good.
Everyone should have their 3 games per week, period. Those in the cup should be awarded for being there (just like any other week) and they are (for being there).
The non-cup teams are just being taken away "one week" (not entirely but almost that in terms of effects) of the schedule and being penalized for not being good enough (it's not like I can opt to beat a 1st division team, I just don't have the ability to lol Should I be removed of a game/week for that? Doesn't sound fair to me).
I have no problem with having to make tradeoffs, which sounds strategic to me.
I have a problem being taken away games, playing time, etc., compared to a minority just because of (I assume) a schedule problem. IMO, it's definitely a schedule/game limitation.
In all other weeks, the cup eliminated teams have the option to play a friendly instead of the cup game, except here (that I'm aware).

IMHO, everyone should have the same number of "regular season" games, regardless of which (you can have your cup games, let me get my players the training they need with friendlies, if that's the problem. I promise I won't ask half what you make in your cup game lol). If you go far in the cup and you earn more, that's fine with me (and excelent for you). Just let me play my games and develop my team, please (and keep their game shape, etc.)

The perfect way (again IMO) is for everyone to be playing on the same leveling field, which sadly doesn't happen here, as of now.
