Jeff Stelling has said the fa cup 3rd round draw should be seeded, as the lower league teams in league 2 and non league are looking for big paydays and TV coverage by playing teams in the prem/championship.

He argues that they should be given their moment in the sun vs a big club, rather than playing each other, getting no TV coverage and getting little to no money from their tie.

I have found it strange how many prem vs prem fixtures have been produced in the domestic cups lately.

On the other hand, prem vs prem means that lower league sides can advance further in the competition. One of us and Liverpool is getting eliminated straight away, that's a big hitter guaranteed to be out after round 3.

Do you lot agree with Jeff or not?

Goes against the fabric of the Cup itself though. Also when a big team draws a big team early on, chances are a lesser team makes it marginally further in the competition too.

I get it, but don’t think it will change and personally don’t think it should
