Winter break in the PL 19/20

Confirmed. About bluudy time too. It will be almost two weeks off in February. IMO it should be longer, the players are usually knackered after the intense Christmas/New Year's run, and the leagues in Europe that have a monthly break during the middle of the season are doing much better in terms of injuries from what I believe.

It it going to be staggered so that half the teams stop for 2 weeks, and then the other half?

I think it's that 10 teams will play one weekend and have the next one off and vice versa. So something like 11-12 days off in a row altogether. I think.

I like that they've got rid of replays for that round of FA Cup.

Think that will help, although will hurt lower league clubs who get big draws.
