Another 8 players have been added from today.

Full stats from the weekend FA Cup ties are now available under Weekly Match Facts in The Links Box. This includes the Men of the Matches as reported in Monday's Daily Telegraph (thanks to tonyp, the motm mole). Note that the points for those awards that went to EPL players are not expected to be added to the player points page until Tuesday morning.

The long awaited TV fixture changes for March are now in and the details have been recorded on the fixture grid. However, care should be taken before making plans too concrete because there are still lots of reasons why fixtures will change further. Firstly the weekend of March 8th/9th is the FA Cup 6th Round so all teams still involved plus their opponents will have their matches postponed. Secondly, the midweek following the final weekend in March is the Champions League Quarter Final first legs, so Sunday/Monday fixtures may get put back to the Saturday. Also note that FA Cup replays may also affect TV matches at other times.

Finally, Aston Villa and Reading has been moved to February 24th as the warm-up to the Carling Cup Final.

The following nine new players were added on Wednesday ready for this weekend's matches:

2189	B Ivanovic	CHE	3.6
2190	E Edman	WIG	3.0
2191	B Hangeland	FUL	2.9
2192	L Aubey	POR	2.9
2193	D Murphy	BIR	2.8
2194	G Steinsson	BOL	2.8
2195	JY Mvoto	SUN	2.8
2196	M Figueroa	WIG	2.7
4125	M Zarate	BIR	3.6

Tottenham's victory last night in the semi-final means that their match with Chelsea on February 23rd will now be postponed. If Chelsea win tonight in the other semi-final then that is the only fixture that will suffer, otherwise Everton's match with Man City on February 25th will also be postponed. The Carling Cup Final is on Sunday 24th February.

Other recent changes include the matches involving West Ham, Liverpool, Man City and Derby on Tuesday Jan 29th being moved back 24 hours to Wednesday Jan 30th.

Finally the grid is getting rather small at present. This is because Sky and Setanta have still not announced details of televised matches from 1st March onwards. As soon as details are available the grid will be updated. In the meantime, Liverpool and West Ham have agreed to play the match postponed from last August on March 5th.

Edit: Chelsea won, so just the one postponement.

The first batch of new players have been added this morning following the early dealings in the transfer window:

1040	R Cerny	Tot	2.9
2184	E Omozusi	Ful	3.1
2185	C Gunter	Tot	2.9
2186	J Evans	Sun	2.8
2187	M Skrtel	Liv	3.2
2188	J Grounds	Mid	2.5
3196	L Robert	Der	2.9
3197	M Matejovsky	Rea	2.9
3198	J OHara	Tot	2.7
3199	J Collison	WH	2.6
3200	T Cohen	Bol	2.8
3201	M Fernandes	Eve	3.2
3202	D Gosling	Eve	2.6
4120	N Castillo	MC	4.5
4121	D Subotic	Por	4.3
4122	E Villa	Der	4.0
4123	K Etuhu	MC	3.9
4124	M Waghorn	Sun	3.2

Update: 7th Jan:

The scores on the player points page include all normal points from the weekend FA Cup games apart from the six players who received a man of the match award. These scores will be updated tomorrow (Tues 8th Jan) morning. At the same time two errors will be corrected from Saturdays games. A Mokoena (Blk) will get 3 more points for assisting the Bentley goal while L Lita (Rea) will lose 3 points because his assist for the second Hunt goal was incorrectly given.

The MOTM awards went to:

FERDINAND (MU)
DOWNING (Mid)
MIKEL (Che)
SCHARNER (Wig)
NOBLE (WH)
TAYLOR (New)

We've well and truly arrived at the point where the fixture grid will get updated several times a week. Tonight's update reflects the casualties from the FA Cup, the replays that have been scheduled so far, and a league game that has switched back to Saturday to accomodate a replay on the Tuesday. Keep an eye on things to be one step ahead.
