I'm guessing you're looking at wildcarding this week and bench boosting next? Thankfully I only have TC left so no worried about fixtures coming out. Hope it's after tonight's 6.30 deadline. Do you follow Ben crelin?

Ha ha, he/she's not the only one.

If they come out today, they'd be in next 5 minutes at 3pm or later today at 4pm or 5pm max ... if not out at 5pm means they're still sorting with broadcasters and clubs etc and might come after the weekend then. Let's see ...

So it’s now gonna be next week? The current televised fixtures run out at the end of next week don’t they? Cutting it a tad fine perhaps.

I waited till 6pm to reply to this ... just in case PL springs a late surprise but yeah looks like next week now, unless they do a weekend announcement (which I doubt very much). But now after Pep and Roy Hodgson, Mourinho too has joined them in hinting which fixture they're having to squeeze in next two weeks so all signs point to an imminent announcement and both those mid-weeks (around our derby) filled with PL fixtures. I even saw a suggestion somewhere that there could be three games on Thursday night in there as well.

Well, let's just wait for the final announcement. Monday earliest as it stands.

Hopefully you work in Manchester so at least there won’t be any scum fans trying to get time off

Should have waited a bit longer! Just been released, unusual for them to be released this late in the day
 
That means after Arsenal we have 4 home league games in just 11 days! Talk about the opportunity to put it to bed early.
 
So they waited till 6:30pm which was the FPL deadline for GW25 ... properly screwed over a lot of FPL players ... but for those who don't play the Fantasy Football, it doesn't really matter ...

Here's our updated Fixtures Calendar in full:

1613761353032.png


Looking at that above now, this is what highlights for me ...

- Plenty of gap BEFORE the derby for us ... (United play a day later on 3rd away to Crystal Palace)

- We have no fixture congestion even if we go all the way in all competitions now. Two mid weeks are free right after the Semi Final and the Final of the FA Cup in which those two games can be slotted. Both Villa and Brighton also don't have any pending fixtures (our opponents in those weeks) so those should be straight forward scheduling, simply moving them to a few days later.

- Four home games in a row between the two CL ties and one away game is Fulham ... great chance to put even more distance between the teams chasing us.

- Fulham is currently at 3pm on Saturday but TV picks not announced for that weekend yet. But don't see it moving away from Saturday as we play CL on Tue after and Wed before is now final. So the time of the game might change but Sat won't change. Even 3pm kick-offs are televised so might not even change the time. (@meeesh)

- That Stupid International Break remains an eye sore in the middle of it all.

the good news is our rivals get a midweek game the same week as our re-arranged Wolves and Southampton games. The other good news being Liverpool's collapse means the benefit they're starting to get with gaps in their calendar to recover should hopefully come too late.

what's the issue with FPL? The games aren't till the next gameweek.

Oooohhhh, don't get me started ... it was a big issue ... this makes next gameweek as double gameweek so those wanting to use Bench Boost or Triple Captain chips wanted to use their WildCard this gameweek with a veiw to next week's fixtures ... basically you can't use two chips on the same weekend so to maximize the points for next gameweek you needed wildcard (and lots of transfers done) this week with an eye on next ... so proper mickey taken out by whoever released these at exact 6:30pm ...
