I would prefer another Champions series as an avenue to introduce acts from other versions of the show to a UK audience rather than them being planted in the main show. The first one didn't set the world on fire but did decently enough and would do better than anything else ITV currently air on Saturdays in the autumn, though it would be more of an event if they switched to doing it live across a week.
The US Fantasy League format is basically just an update on that format which was also rebranded as All Stars for a couple of years, just with a fairly pointless X Factor style twist of acts being assigned to the judges. America's Got Talent is quite rare in that it's been a very successful summer show for NBC which they've never moved into the main ratings season, so the spin-offs introduce the brand into mid-season without removing it from the summer.
