"But even before we get to next summer, there's another major international tournament on the way - and unlike in the previous breaks, this one could significantly disrupt either your fantasy team, or your actual bricks and mortars side.

"The above graphic shows every Premier League player that could be heading to Morocco for some winter sun next month - with some clubs signifcantly impacted. It's worth bearing in mind that this list is of players who play for the nations competing at AFCON, so some may not be selected due to form, while others such as Newcastle United's Yoane Wissa are set to miss out through injury.

AFCON 2025 runs in Morocco from December 21, 2025 to January 18, 2026 and involves 24 nations eligible to call up Premier League players. Up to 42 Premier League players are available for selection, creating significant squad disruption for clubs and fantasy managers during the winter period. Sunderland could lose as many as nine players if all eligible are called up, while Wolves may lose five, Crystal Palace four, and Nottingham Forest three. Some named players may miss selection through form or injury, with Newcastle United's Yoane Wissa injured and Bryan Mbeumo expected in Cameroon's squad.
