Deadline reminders

Do not forget

Before deadlines, we send reminders so you actually submit your team, captain, transfers or predictions. Choose a morning reminder, or choose 30 minutes before normal games. For UK games after midnight, we do not send a middle-of-the-night reminder — that one goes at 9pm the evening before.

Sample alerts

Sample fantasy alert
England squad watch

Example: if key England players are given extra recovery time after a major club final, the brief separates routine load management from a genuine injury concern before fantasy picks lock.

Sample predictor alert
Brazil vs Morocco

Prediction unchanged: Brazil win. No major squad downgrade found. Morocco remain dangerous, but Brazil’s attacking ceiling still makes them the safer call.

Sample deadline reminder
Team deadline in 30 minutes

Reminder: submit your captain, transfers and predictions before lockout. Normal games get a 30-minute nudge; UK kickoffs between midnight and 5:59am get a 9pm evening-before reminder instead.
