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

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