Complementary Home and Away Fixtures

Post by **TheoRiginal** » 24 Jul 2016, 20:26

Having had a quick look at the fixture list for next year (I haven't had time for an in-depth analysis as I am off on holiday tomorrow and I have recently had to work hard to bury a lot of bodies - deeply - at work so that the management don't try to hunt me down in TapasLand) it strikes me that unlike previous years when you could regularly switch between, for example WBA and Villa or Newcastle and Sunderland, cheap and dirty defenders for their home games, there aren't the same dependable rotations this year.

Well, fixtures for the pairings of Everton/Liverpool, Arsenal/Spurs and Man City/Man Utd have been arranged so that the well-stretched constabulary and medical services are on duty every weekend at alternate venues, but I don't see many cheapies at the back for those six.

So where are we going to find inexpensive options who aren't going to let in a hatful every time they play away?

Silly me! Of course I should have spotted that Sunderland and Chelsea alternated...

I have not looked, but perhaps that means Newcastle and Fulham alternate in a complementary fashion in another division.

Seriously though, thank you for this Stemania. If it is half the godsend to others thst it will be to me, then I will be doubly advantaged.

Looks like the only good GK rotation out of this is the Foster/Heaton one most templates are jumping towards. Bit unfortunate really. Guess I will just stick with the original plan of DDG
