Premier League announce start and end dates for 2020/21 season

The Premier League have announced the much-awaited start and end dates for the 2020/21 season.

2019/20 will draw to a close on Sunday when the Gameweek 38+ fixtures are played while European competitions will continue into August.

But we finally know how long of a gap we will have between our next two Fantasy Premier League deadlines.

Saturday, September 12 has been confirmed as the first day of the 2020/21 campaign, a little under two months after the end of 2019/20.

The next season is expected to have a similar level of compression that football fans have experienced since June 17 in order to finish in time for Euro 2020, set to be staged next summer.

Sunday, May 23 has been given as the date of completion for 2020/21, less than a few weeks after the usual climax of a Premier League season.

That should is sure to mean more short turnarounds between Gameweeks as of September…

As things stand, there is no confirmation on how FA and EFL competitions will integrate with the Premier League’s recently announced dates.

Premier League Shareholders today agreed to start the 2020/21 Premier League season on 12 September. The final match round of the campaign will take place on 23 May. The Premier League will continue to consult with the FA and EFL regarding the scheduling of all domestic competitions.” – Premier League statement

    Please stay with me on this mates:)

    I lead in my ML with 19 pts before the final GW. However my opponent has his Triple Captain available and 2 FT:

    Me:

    1 FT

    Pope
    TAA, Doherty, Fernandez
    Salah, Bruno, KDB, Martial,
    Greenwood, Jimi, Auba

    Button, Robinson, Taylor, Hayden

    My opponent:

    2 FT

    Patricio
    Digne, Doherty, Aurier
    Sterling, Bruno, KDB, Martial
    Greenwood, Jimi, Jesus

    I already did Salah to Sterling as he will probably Triple captain him.
    “Cover him” tactic

    Wonder if I should do Jesus to Jimi for -4 to further cover him?
    Or maybe Fernandez to Walker?
    Newcastle will probably concede a few goals.

    I think my opponent will make /Patricio/Doherty Jimi to Burnley gk/defender and Auba. At least this is what I would do with his 2 FT.

    I would appreciate all the input, mates!

      I'm in a similar position. 30 points clear in my ML and on a FH, my closest opponent has a BB.

      I'm trying not to go the full sh*thouse route by copying their entire team and hoping that their bench doesn't make up the 30 point deficit, but I am now second guessing every transfer I make with my FH!

    No Sterling will no doubt hurt but not sure how to realistically do it unless we get early team news that eg KDB isn’t starting

    Pope (3.9)
    TAA Aurier Pieters (Doherty 3.9)

    So, any thoughts on who might emerge as an unlikely hero this weekend? I'm going with Samatta for Villa.

    And although much less unlikely, I'm thinking that Deeney is going to do everything in his power to keep Watford up.

    So, who do you think might play the hero this weekend (at either end of the table)?

      Someone else who’s thinking Deeney. Mentioned him a few times and can see him scoring. Watford have been scoring and he’s matched Wood over the last few. Less outrageous than it appears

      Richa is the other one on my list. Bournemouth need to attack and could easily implode

      Other than scoring an open goal or penalty, I don't think Deeney is capable of doing any heroic. Maybe Sarr or even Welbeck in that team but think they'll go down. I expect Grealish to score or assist on the weekend.
