I've always been rather fonder of the Roman Saturnalia than any of the later - more piously theistic - winter festivals that have grown up since: just a solid week or so of heavy partying (and assorted debauchery, as often as not), to take one's mind off the grimness of the shortest days of the year.
The holiday schedule in the English Premier League seems to be even more crazily compressed than usual this year, with four full gameweeks shoehorned into barely more than a fortnight over Christmas and the New Year.... and then, after a rather token 'winter break', two more in the space of 5 or 6 days in mid-January. Try not to get caught out by any of the FPL Gameweek deadlines.
They are as follows:
Gameweek 17: Saturday/Sunday 21st-22nd December - DEADLINE Sunday 31st, 11am UTC
Gameweek 18: Thursday/Friday 26th-27th December - DEADLINE Thursday 26th, 11am UTC
Gameweek 19: Sunday/Monday/(Wednesday) 29th-30th December (and 1st January) -
DEADLINE Sunday 29th, 1pm UTC
Gameweek 20: Saturday/Sunday/Monday 4th-6th January - DEADLINE Saturday 4th, 11am UTC
Gameweek 21: Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday 14th-16th January - DEADLINE Tuesday 14th, 6pm UTC
Gameweek 22: Saturday/Sunday/Monday 18th-20th January - DEADLINE Saturday 18th, 11am UTC
I don't know about the players, but I think I'll need A REST after all that!
Happy Holidays to all (such few readers as I yet have here...)!!!
And may the New Year bring us all better fortune in our dratted addiction. Fantasy Premier League!!!
