FA CUP replays could be scrapped at the third and fourth round stages as part of plans to reform the English football calendar.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several high-profile players and managers have complained about having to play too many games, claiming fixture congestion causes harm.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The two-legged League Cup ties could also change to one while the FA Cup fifth round would return to a weekend slot, according to the BBC.<\/p>\n

It follows the scrapping of the fifth round which came into effect in the 2017-18 campaign.<\/p>\n

Fans are not happy with the potential changes as replays offered lower league clubs the chance to earn a payday, with the alterations seen as favouring the bigger clubs.<\/p>\n

One football fan said: "Awful decision. The non-league sides that rely on the replay money will be hit hard."<\/p>\n

Another added: "So lower league clubs lose out on potential paydays because the greedy league are complaining about too many games\u2026<\/p>\n

"The same greedy league clubs that travel all over the world for about six weeks before the season begins playing God knows how many games to boost revenue..\ud83e\udd2c"<\/p>\n

A third wrote: "This just hurts non-league\/smaller teams who need the money. Here\u2019s a thought perhaps the big teams should win their games in the first place if they're that good."<\/p>\n

And another commented: "Terrible for the game as a whole. Premier league teams have enough squad to play all games they don\u2019t need the extra help."<\/p>\n

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk recently claimed the busy fixture schedule is having a negative impact on players' health.<\/p>\n

He said: "In England we believe the schedules are too busy. The players are getting paid well but it should never come at the cost of our health.<\/p>\n

"We keep having to play more and more games. We as players should start saying something about it, contribute to a solution."<\/p>\n

The centre-back was then asked by Dutch media whether he would be willing to give up 10% of his salary if he were to play less games and responded: "No."<\/p>\n

When pressed on the issue he said: "I don't think having to play less games depends on my salary?"<\/p>\n
