WHAT?? Early Deadline warning!!

A graphic with the words 'Set Alarm for 1.30 AM' (the time of the next FPL deadline in MY timezone!), in white lettering on a soothing blue background
 

Darn it - I had thought we were due for a nice little rest from the incessant demands-for-attention of Fantasy Football, since next weekend is given over to the 4th Round of the FA Cup... Alas, it had slipped my attention on this occasion that, in order to fit all the League matches within our too-short number of available weeks, we have to cram in another midweek gameweek this week.

There's a raft of games tomorrow, Tuesday evening (early hours of Wednesday in my timezone - making it impossible to wait until close to the deadline to make squad changes...); the next FPL deadline is 6pm (UK time) on the Tuesday 10th of February.

Never a moment's peace....


And don't forget, this is now a Double Gameweek for Wolves and Arsenal, as their Gameweek 31 match (when Arsenal will be playing City in the League Cup Final) has been moved forward to Wednesday the 18th of February - and, although that's a full 6 days after the last of the originally scheduled GW26 games and obviously far more adjacent to the following weekend's fixtures,.... it's been declared to be part of Gameweek 26, rather than Gameweek 27.... for reasons known only to the League's mysterious scheduling minions.


I'll try to put out one of my usual updates on injury news and such this afternoon (but I might not manage it!).
