2 Games in 3 days

This game can throw up some ridiculous (and unrealistic) schedules. This is what I'm dealing with currently:

8 games in 18 days, so on average one every 2.3 days... correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think this has EVER been a team's schedule in real life.

 

Even if I hadn't have qualified for the Europa League, I would still be finishing the season with 4 games in 8 days, which is ridiculous.

Yeh I have the same, I have a Champions League Semi-final scheduled for a Tuesday, then a PL game on the Thursday, followed by another PL game on the Saturday AND then a game on the following Monday and then second leg of the semi-final on the wednesday. 

So that is 5 games in just 8 days.

Again I don't think any club would be forced to do that IRL and they would screaming at the PL for that. 

This is also 2024/25 season so it's not the world cup either.  I think the game can't cope with new Champions League format, which basically increases the CL group stage games from 6 to 8, which means 2 mid week slots are lost and the league never catches up, it then throws them all in at the end. 

This is basically why I keep the in game editor available, because stuff like this ruins saves. 

Apart from xmas period, and new year there is no way the PL would schedule league games 2 days apart or 2 days from major European competition. 

For some reason my team has played 30 games in the league, whereas everyone else has played at least 31, most have played 32 and some have played 33, so I am 2-3 league games behind.  Even though I went out of the league cup in like the 4th round, yet Man City got to the final of the league cup, they are in the semis of CL, semis of the FA Cup, but they have played 31 games in the league and don't have the same fixture mess.
