Stop Press - another change
The Man United and Bolton match displaced from FA Cup Quarter Final weekend has tentatively been scheduled for March 19th. This means that unless either Man United or Chelsea require a replay in that round, all teams will have caught up to the same number of games by the end of that night.
More fixture juggling
Middlesbrough's win last night means that their match with Aston Villa on March 8th has now moved to March 12th instead. Meanwhile engineering work on the underground means that West Ham's match with Portsmouth has been moved from April 5th to April 7th, unless Portsmouth are still involved in the FA Cup by then, when it will be postponed further. And in a really odd move the match between Chelsea and Man City on April 5th has been moved to April 6th for TV coverage. But if Chelsea are still in the FA Cup it will be postponed, or if they are expected to play a Champions League match on Tuesday 8th, the match will revert back to April 5th. Watch this space.

April TV dates announced
The fixture grid now includes details of matches moved to Sunday/Monday during April. Note that the weekend of April 5th/6th, apart from being the change in tax years, is the FA Cup semi-final weekend. Matches that are at risk of being postponed are highlighted in pink that weekend.

Re-arrangements of 6th Round postponements
The matches involving Birmingham, Chelsea, Derby and Portsmouth have both been re-scheduled on Wednesday March 12th. The Aston Villa and Middlesbrough clash will also move there should 'Boro beat Sheffield United in their 5th Round replay. The match between Bolton and Man United is yet to be re-scheduled because of the difficulties caused by them being in different European competitions.

FA Cup 6th Round schedule
The TV companies have decided who is screening what on 6th Round weekend so the fixture grid has been updated. Note that if Middlesbrough win their replay then the league game with Aston Villa on the Saturday will be postponed while they play on the Sunday (they won't play both games).

FA Cup 5th Round Motms
Thanks once again to Tony, our "Motm mole", the man of the match details are now available on the weekly match facts page. The Telegraph will not be updating these points until Tuesday morning (no I can't understand why either), but I will manually add them in (as there's only 3) when the points are uploaded to this site tomorrow.

Problems with TFF points
The Excel macro that deals with club changes seems to have gone wrong. Unfortunately that has meant that the points page for this season had several inaccuracies during the last 2-3 hours. I have restored an intermediate version which appears to have correct points, but some players are still shown at old clubs (like Benjani). The fully updated page will be available as soon as possible.
Update:
The problem has now been resolved. Several players had had their points for the season completely wiped (inc Torres and Bullard among known examples). Many thanks to the visitor who pointed this out enabling the issue to be fixed quickly. The incorrect points were showing on the site between about 1130 and 1330 today only.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience this might have caused.

Final Batch of New Players
With the transfer window now properly shut (after Benjani sneaked through a couple of days late) the Telegraph have added the following new players ready for this weekend.
