Wouldn't mind a home game first and wouldn't mind it being against a big team either....... I think Jurgen and Pep Ljinders will tweak the strategy this season to start like a fuckin train taking the mid-season break for the world cup into account.
United at home first would be brilliant....... or even City.

Almost impossible unless they have changed their set up.
Certain teams do not get to meet too early on otherwise too many of the marquee TV matches could potentially happen too early in the season.
The fixture setting is not a fully random draw and has not been for some time now.

All you plebs in here best make the most of your few weeks off.
Come August 6th we go again for the big one and no slacking off will be tolerated.
Full on blind and raw optimism will be resuming normal service from August to May.
In fact this season I may be uber optimistic as number 20 is, not might be, on the way.

Last season is going to appear downbeat and pessimistic by comparison.
2022/23 season will be the We shall not be moved season. The year the optimists prevail
Think we are a single player away from optimism becoming expectation.

It’s going to be brutal for everyone.
By the World Cup break in mid November, all PL teams will have squeezed in 5 more games than usual.
And all of the CL group stage games will be squeezed in by then too.

Gonna be like The Warriors in here this season. A few lads utterly convinced of making it to the end regardless of what obstacles crop up along the way.

To be honest if we got someone like Nunes from Sporting I would wildly excited as well.

In what way? In a having gaps between playing big teams sort of way? I'm the worst person to judge things like that I like runs of playing big teams back to back.
Don't forget a lot of those fixtures will be moved around and resceduled once cup fixtures start to be added in there.
I think it is an awful list this year because of the congestion of fixures that will happen this season.
Stupid league of nations and other international crap still on at the moment. Then a shorter break than usual for players as pre season has to begin earlier thanks to the season starting earlier.
Could easily be a season that sees a record number of injuries thoughout the league.

We really need to see where the European fixtures fit in and where games are slotted in for TV. The season is barely longer than normal but there is a WC stuffed in there. The season is going to be a one of constant fixture congestion. How we do will likely depend on the timings of injuries to big players. A period out that might normally see you miss 2 or 3 games this year could see you miss 5 or 6.

Yes, was always going to be congested as obviously cups games and other stuff will come into play. I'm happy not having to play 2 or 3 or 4 top teams in high intensity games in such a short space + cups games imo is a good thing.
And they will be moved around but sure I can only comment on the fixtures provided currently

Depends on who we get in the cups though or if we have a tough group in the CL.
The congestion is stupid. If the climate in a country is not suitable for a WC to be played in the summer, then hold it in a country where the clinate is more suitable.
As Exiled pointed out, the congestion could mean a two or three week injury costing us players for four, five or six games whereas last season it might have been two or three games missed.
The only positive with the stupid winter WC is a good number of our squad will have a mid season break, though the same applies probably to a greater degree to many of the mid and lower table teams who ould have less players again at the WC.
The congestion is my bugbear and moreso the reason behind that congestion.

Yeah it's a disaster whatever way you swing it. I have no idea what dates we play champs league fixtures on and what teams we play before and after. If it's one of the big boys then that's a disaster as we will have to rotate and you don't want to compromise the team too much if the opposition are tough.

Are there reduced international breaks this season hence Nations League being played in a block. That will surely be a positive.
