One of the factors to take into account in Sun Dream Team transfer window 2 is fixtures. We’ll look at it again here on 3 levels. Which teams will play European games and therefore extra fixtures, and secondly which teams have the easiest premier league games to transfer window 3. The third part is the Capital One cup and the FA Cup and any implications of that. This transfer window 2 closes on the 21 November and the games that count are to the 3rd transfer window which opens on 26 January and closes on the 6 February. That’s where we’ll focus to. Remember you have 3 transfers during transfer window 2 and can change your transfers during the week if you change your mind.

Which competitions involve which teams?
Up to transfer window 3 there are the following competitions ongoing:
1. The premier league. There are 12 rounds fixtures up to tranfers window 3 closes
2. The Europa League. There are 2 extra fixtures up to transfer window 3. ( Liverpool and Tottenham)
3. The Champions League. There are 2 extra fixtures up to transfer window 2. (Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal)
4. The Capital One Cup. There are 3 extra fixtures up to transfer window 3 (Everton, Southampton, Liverpool, Stoke and Man City)
5. The FA Cup. There are 2 rounds before transfer window 3 closes (All premier league teams participate)
Just a reminder of the basics. Transfer Window 3 opens on the 26 January and closes on the 6 February 2016. However there are only 3 transfers for us to use in the transfer window 1 which closes on the 21st November 2015. There’s also the emergency transfer after November 21 and before January 2016. I’ll probably save that as an injury/selection transfer though.
We’ll look at the competitions and teams in turn and how they affect the time up to transfer window 3
Below though is a summary table which shows the premier league fixtures in order of easiness. I’ve taken the analysis from another advice site which runs a fixture schedule. I’ts just for the premier league though. I’ve then added which teams have which additional fixtures (although with the Cap One 3 fixtures depends on winning the first) through the other competitions up to the next transfer window. I obviously haven’t added the FA Cup as all premier league teams particpate.
Middlesbrough v Everton
Southampton v Liverpool
Stoke City v Sheffield Wednesday
Manchester City v Hull City
These Quarter-Final ties are to be played during the week commencing 30th November 2015.
Semi-Final first legs: w/c 4th January 2016
Semi-Final second legs: w/c 25th January 2016
The FA Cup
Hard to know the implications here until the fixtures are out but the probability is that the teams in European competitions will rotate and sides like Everton, Stoke and Southampton in the Cap 1 will take it seriously along with those without relegation fears.
