Chelsea's Insane Scheduling

Also I don't think it's too bad from the Rubin Kazan game.

You really need a re-boot mate.

Have you tried playing 90 minute professional football games every 3 days for 1.5 MONTHS !

I mean, even world cup is a month, and you get breaks more than 3 days.

No - but he probably tried it in FIFA, where you can play the whole 2nd team and still beat the crap out of teams.

They play Rubin Kazan on Thursday and on the 14th they play Man City. Just a normal European game followed by a weekend game.

Even CL clubs have a midweek game followed by a weekend one.

The first 3-4 games from the list were kinda close together though. It's just from the 2nd leg against Rubin onwards, it's not too bad.

Career mode has a worse schedule imo. There's games like every 2 days.

Malouda is still at Chelsea? I thought he left with Bosingwa and co.

training with the u-21 and seeing out his $$$ contract

A lot of people overrate Chelsea's depth and I'm not sure why - they have plenty of names but as even many of the Chelsea fans are saying, they aren't all that great anymore. Perhaps there is a giant conspiracy to make Chelsea not compete in the CL next year by overloading them with fixtures

Play on Sunday, then have a game on Tuesday, and having your star player complain about being benched on the Tuesday game due to being in the low-yellow stamina range due to the Sunday game

Win both games anyway

Malouda is a strange one, I really rated him when Chelsea signed him and hopes were for him were high for me. Took him a second or 2 but he finally hit form for the double season. But then along with everyone else just dipped the season after that again, and now this situation, wtf?

Season or two you mean... and he came, he rested... he conquered.... he disappeared.

Wow...so there is hope for Spurs yet

No there isn't.

I never really liked Malouda but Chelsea should use him now surely he is good enough to play against some of the weaker teams.

No way we're qualifying for the CL lol.

That schedule is absolutely brutal.
