Matchday 6 will start earlier than Matchday 4 due to Real Sociedad-Celta

LaLiga's calendar is once again putting fantasy players to the test. The match between Real Sociedad and Celta de Vigo, officially corresponding to matchday 6, has been moved to next Thursday, September 3 at 9:00 p.m. due to the European commitments of both teams.

The rest of the matchday 6 games will not be played until mid-September, so we are facing an unusual situation that will have major consequences in Comunio and other fantasy games.

Extra matchday in Comunio with just one game

With no official confirmation yet from Comunio, the most likely scenario is that the Real Sociedad-Celta match will form an independent extra matchday in those games that allow the rescheduled matches to be separated from the rest of the matchday.

In that case, this extra matchday would be made up only of the Anoeta fixture, meaning managers would have to decide whether to use Real Sociedad and Celta players to try to rack up additional points.

We will have to wait for Comunio to officially confirm how to handle this match, but based on the calendar, everything points to the need to apply some special system.

Other fantasy games

The biggest problem will come for those fantasy games that use a single lineup for the entire matchday 6.

Real Sociedad-Celta will be played on the 3rd of September, while the bulk of matchday 6 will arrive several weeks later. This means managers could be forced to have their matchday 6 lineup prepared even before matchday 4 is played.

A particularly delicate situation because between those two moments there could be injuries, suspensions, rotation, changes in the starting lineup, or market moves.

Real Sociedad and Celta will shape the fantasy strategy

Players from both teams will take on special importance over the coming days. Managers who have key Real Sociedad or Celta players will need to be very attentive to how Comunio ultimately manages this fixture.

If there is finally an independent extra matchday, having players from both sides could allow you to score points in an additional game. On the other hand, if the match is folded into a single matchday 6 lineup, decisions will have to be made much earlier than usual.
