Is it me or has the scheduling of games this year changed a lot? Used to be a fairly standard balance between Saturday / Sunday. Majority of the games on Saturday, then the remainder on Sunday, and 1 game either Friday or Monday.
This weekend there are 8 games Saturday.,1 Sunday, 1 Monday. Two weeks ago, it was similar, just one game on Sunday. The 2pm and 4.30 Sunday games were fairly standard last year, twice so far this season we’ve had only one Sunday game.
You’re right, the schedule has been a little weird, but that extra days rest with CL mid week is huge.
The schedule is weird because epl has 8 teams in Europe. Also the European coefficient will determine if there are 4 or 5 teams in ucl. It’s in the leagues best interest to give all teams a better chance to make a decent run in Europe.
