Following Gameweek 16, which saw 41 of 72 EFL sides ‘double’, we have another exciting Gameweek in store!
Fantasy EFL Gameweek 17 will feature all 72 sides once again from Friday to Wednesday. Championship fixtures will be played between Friday to Sunday, while the majority of League One and Two sides will battle between Tuesday and Wednesday.
However, we do have a mini-double in store: both Fleetwood Town and Colchester United will play twice, first facing each other on Saturday lunchtime.
The Gameweek will open with one match on Friday night. We have a Championship thriller in store, as Sheffield United host Sunderland in a 20:00 GMT kick-off at Bramall Lane.
If you want to learn more about the debuting game that features all 72 clubs across three divisions, check out our master overview page here for info, rules, strategies and more.
