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

      As daft as it sounds, it's Danny Ings - only point i owned him was for his run of blanks from 23 to 29 ish (think i got one goal from him!)

      Auba burned me badly when I bought him for BOU shu CRY WOL and he scored 2,2,2,8.

      If I had got Vardy instead I'd have gotten: 2,8,20,6 and probably like 0.4m in TV to boot.

      Got him again just once more this season for GW30 and his whopping 4 point haul. Huge disappointment this season. He doesn't deliver in a timely manner so you either have to stick by him or drop him.

      Could be a number of players. The season has been typified by most players getting big points in patches then doing nothing. It’s been a season for keeping off bandwagons as the likelihood is that by the time you jumped on the players had got there points.

    Better option of these?

    Sterling and Garcia

    KDB and Dilva

    Can do a -8 to get Dilva and sterling but not sure if that's worth it.

    Need thoughts about my FH team:
    Pope (Randolph)
    TAA, Tarkowski, Pieters, Aurier (Williams)
    Salah, Antonio, Mahrez, D. Silva (Guendouzi)
    Auba, Kane (C) (Greenwood)
    0.2 itb

    Any suggestions? Would love to bring in Vardy as I think he likes to score vs top teams, but don't have the money

      Auba and Guendouzi to Sterling and fodder. Play Greenwood.

        Can't do it as Guendouzi is already fodder (4.1) and Sterling is 1.1 more than Auba. Plus I don't see Sterling starting

      Similar to mine except I have Greenwood to your Ings. Jealous of the extra 3m or so TV you have as I’d rather Ings.

      Looks good, but I'm not sure if KDB and Sterling will play as they started last game and Pep announced before that everyone will play in the last 2 games.

    I have a 49 point lead in my £100 a head league and a free hit. The guy in second has no chips left. What are the odds of me winning the league? 🙂

    Have a 40 point lead in my minileague with TC (Sterling) left to play. Do I use my 2FT and a -8 to bring in Kane and Salah?

      Why do you need 4 transfers for 2 players?

        Well it's not easy to work both Kane and Salah in without moving funds around. Basically I'm wondering if I should try bring both in at a -8 or just be content with one by using a -4.

          If -8 improves your team in your opinion then go for it, there seems little chance your rival will catch you, especially with your TC chip.

            yeah I feel like I should go crazy. Could probably see them taking a -4 too

    2 points clear in my ML. Rival has Sterling and Antonio.

    My front 8 consists of:

    KDB, Foden, Fernandes, Puilisic, Salah
    Rashford, Ings, Jimenez

    2ft... £1.2itb.

    Narrowed down to

    A) Fernandes & Rashford to David Silva and Kane
    B) Fernandes & Jiminez to Sterling and Greenwood

    Just created a team I would have made if I had the FH and compared it to the team I have decided on for GW38. Get the feeling I may have regretted using the FH.

      My FH in GW36 gained me 8 points on my regular team.
