This contradicts what it says on the FA site:
Now I'm confused.
http://www.thefa.com/football-rules-gov ... uspensionsSuspensions are automatically imposed for accumulating 5, 10, or 15 cautions in a season. There are cut-off dates for receiving a sanction as a result of accumulated cautions. They are:

I couldn't find it on FA site but gave up as only on phone not laptop.
Judio's quote does call them dates though (eg day of 19th game is a date)

Re: 2017-18: Fixture Schedule and Changes
It's covered by the FA Handbook which refers to a number of games. I guess the term "cut-off date" has been used to aid understanding by the masses.

Re: 2017-18: Fixture Schedule and Changes
The concept of a fixed number of games is definitely new. The 31st December was fixed as I remember it being in the middle of a game 'set' before and some clubs being luckier than others. Also postponements had no effect on that date. The April one is/was a certain sunday so the monday match teams have always benefitted.
Also our longstanding idiots' guide was copy and pasted from the rulebook back in the day.
Has it changed? I presume it must have or why say 19 games??

A quick delve into the 16-17 handbook tells me it is new for this season

Meanwhile, one of the Manchester teams will surely be moved to the Sunday, as I doubt the police would be happy with both being Saturday 3pm KO's?

Re: 2017-18: Fixture Schedule and Changes
Dont rule out Friday night
Could be an issue with a Tuesday night EFL Cup Semi after
The Winner of Arsenal and West Ham EFL Quarter will obviously now play their semi on the Wednesday night after the FA Cup
Tottenham v Afc Wimbledon will be at Wembley on the Sunday at 3
Firstly we have Semi Finals played at Wembley
Now a 3rd Round Cup Tie at Wembley !!

Re: 2017-18: Fixture Schedule and Changes
Makes fantasy interesting, but it's a joke if Sky said the scottish game was a blocker, or even if so what about the Friday night (29 Dec)?? Can't believe they've made them play Tuesday and Thursday.

Re: 2017-18: Fixture Schedule and Changes
Looks like I've missed a lot of fun and games.
I've finally worked out how to add the FA Cup fixtures to my grids without crashing the update program for a slight technical issue. Also updated the league fixtures and was surprised that only one had changed (Tot v WH). Came here to find out why, so now I know. Was hoping to wind down for Christmas but it looks like another set of changes might come out tomorrow. Happy days.
