    Hang on, we've changed from outcomes to combinations

    Combinations probably, but surely not outcomes.

    Yes I am

    We started with Outcomes, but somehow we've switched to combinations.</p>

    The two are different.</p>

    Impossible

    How can 8 teams with a maximum of 7 fixtures each, home or away get to that figure?</p>

    Unless you mean the actual order in which they are drawn out.</p>
