The EFL is to support the trial of a reformed format for penalty kicks, by introducing the new ‘ABBA’ penalty shootout formula into EFL competitions during the 2017/18 season.

In simple terms, the team taking the first kick in each ‘pair’ of kicks will alternate as follows.

Both teams to take five kicks unless knock-out process is required.

1st kick – Team A 2nd kick – Team B

3rd kick – Team B 4th kick – Team A

5th kick – Team A 6th kick – Team B

7th kick – Team B 8th kick – Team A

9th kick – Team A 10th kick – Team B

11th kick – Team B 12th kick – Team A and so on…

Amongst bloody sin bins, video refereeing, no offsides and other batshit mental and terrible ideas, this is definitely one I'd support.

When all is said and done it's all about the money, money money but I guess that's the name of the game.
