You're a frontrunner. That's why you 'support' that team.

There’s still time to choose a different team.

I’ll never understand why the EPL plays more games in December than January and February combined. 

Because of all of the cups.

Just looking at the schedule and I pick Spurs because I know their schedule pretty well, they played 9 games in December. All but two were EPL games, those were a European cup date and the EFL cup.

Roll over the January and they played 8 games, 2 FA Cup games, 2 EFL games (Semis) and 4 EPL games.

Feb will feature 5 games, 4 EPL, 1 European cup date. But they missed an FA round (plus potential FA replay) and there is the EFL Championship later. And there is another European mid-week schedule too.

But basically the December schedule has to be jam packed to allow for 7 or 8 open dates in Jan/Feb.

75% of EPL teams couldn’t give a shit less about the carabao/milk/paints/carling  cup. The FA Cup has also lost a ton of prestige with a lot of big teams playing all backup squads early in the competition.

Playing 3 league games in 6 days around the holidays is reckless and outdated. Top 4 teams are also playing group games in the CL in late November/early December.  

The current schedule is is an homage to the 1990’s when teams and fans cared about the domestic cups.
