A lot of teams put out a few first teamers in that competition. Leeds played their £30m signing in it for example.

Hopefully our lineup will look something like this, mainly the youth team but with a bit of experience.

Unless I'm mistaken, our u21 side will take part in this next season.

Maybe we'll be playing Derby again sooner than expected 😄

You're not mistaken. We'll be invited under the criteria. Also, as Bournemouth, Brentford, and the 3 clubs coming up aren't Category One, they're going to be a club short and one of the relegated teams will get invited as well.

4.2 An additional sixteen clubs shall be invited to take part in the Competition on the following basis:

4.2.1 the first clubs to receive an invitation will be up to sixteen Clubs that will be participating in the Premier League in the current Season and which operate a Category One Academy (in accordance with the Youth Development Rules). The order of priority will be based on first team finishing position in the immediately preceding Season (across both the Premier League and Championship Division of the League).

4.2.2 if less than sixteen Premier League clubs qualify and/or accept the invitation pursuant to Rule 4.2.1, the League shall then invite:

(i) firstly the three Clubs relegated from the Premier League in the previous Season (provided they operate a Category One Academy); and

(i) then if required the next highest placed Club(s) operating a Category One Academy, until such time as there are no more than sixteen clubs (or Clubs) accepting the invitation to participate, and any club (or Club) accepted into the Competition in accordance with this Rule is an Invited Club.

I'm too lazy to look, but I've not heard a thing about our U21s this season. Have they been playing in a league? I suppose so, but really under the radar.

Draw's tomorrow isn't it? Looking forward to seeing our u21s in a group with Derby, Notts and Mansfield.

After losing to Fleetwood Mac and The Lincolnshire Poacher last season, I think Derby will struggle against that lot next season. Papa Smurf will surely outwit Paul Warne, as many a League One manager did last season.

Aye and Papa Smurf wears a better hat than Paul Warne too. 😁

It appears Leicester are in the draw. I was under the impression it was only top flight U21 teams that were invited, not the lower league riff raff.

Annoying isn't it? They have to back fill due to the sub standard academies at Bournemouth and Brentford. Doubt any of the promoted teams have Cat 1 either.
