While we don’t have a relaunched Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game to tinker with, we do at least have the fixture list!
And that fixture list was further amended on Wednesday, at least for the Premier League matches to be contested in August.
With television picks and European fixtures affecting the calendar, we now know that there’ll be Friday deadlines for Gameweeks 1-3.
That’s under the assumption that Crystal Palace aren’t demoted to the UEFA Conference League and have to contest a play-off ahead of Gameweek 3. That would mean that their meeting with Aston Villa on Friday 29 August would have to be put back two days.
Here’s the revised schedule for Gameweeks 1-3 (times in BST):
