Managers will need to make sure they avoid the Fantasy Premier League nightmare of forgetting a Friday night match as the Gameweek 37 deadline of 19:00 BST approaches this evening. 

Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster has experienced the pain of not remembering an early deadline, admitting he had a shocker in Gameweek 33 this season. 

Liverpool kicked off GW33, which was reduced to six fixtures, with a 3-1 comeback win at Southampton on Friday 5 April.

"I actually watched that game on the Friday night as well," Foster recalls.

"I didn't put a second thought that it was a Premier League game that counted towards it, so I woke up on Saturday and thought, 'Oh no, what have you done?'

"I had half my team not playing. It was horrible. I need to follow somebody on Twitter that gives you updates or alerts or something."

Luckily for Foster and the 6.3million+ managers in the game, @OfficialFPL is just the Twitter account you need for all the latest team news, Fantasy insight and warnings of impending deadlines.

Keeping in the loop

The easiest way not to forget is to be notified of imminent deadlines by the Premier League app.

You can do this very easily by going to the "More" section of the iOS or Android app.

There you will see the "Notifications" section. Scroll down to Fantasy notifications and switch on "Gameweek Deadline".
