League fixtures

[Ian Myers]

Any idea what time the league fixtures are out? I appreciate it's when the daily maintenance has taken place - when exactly is this??

Just that last season I woke up to find I'd already played a game. Thankfully I won, but it was massively annoying that all my games for the first 8/9 days were for some reason all between 3 and 4am.

oh yea, it should be interesting again this season as most of my first 8 games were in the week hours of the morning or very 7am-ish, even though the opponents were in the same time zone.

My second leg cup match is at 10.55 tonight so I'm not sure whether to risk my first team in case I get a league match early morning, would benefit mangers if the brought the fixtures out the night before.

I agree it would mutch better to know the time of the first LEAGUE match the day before, or at least not having games before 12hours after the start of day 3. Giving time to prepare the team.

I think Nordeus tried to make it so teams would have more rest time. Basically trying to put games (on days where two competitions are played in) quite far away to enable more rest time.

Personally I liked that a league game was say 8pm and then a Champions League game an hour or so later. Just meant you had to be wiser about team selections, resting players and/or using rest packs.

I think in reality, the league fixtures should come out on a Day 2, so managers have a day to prepare for the fixture. I see no reason why it couldn't be done. Still just play the Cup on Days 1 and 2 but announce the league draw on Day 2.
