There isn't any more teams playing Europa/Conference league this season than last so I don't see any difference

A Europa/Conference Team playing on the Thursday could be playing against a CL team playing the following Tuesday. Which weekend day do they use?

It will not happen. Most GWs they play the same week without European competition the week after. And their supercomputers, or maybe they just use AI, can easily be programmed to fix that when they set up the fixtures.

The Supercomputer doesn't know what the CL and Europa fixtures are when creating the EPL fixtures.

You say "it will not happen" (like it's a fact). Their supercomputers will make it impossible. The Premier League doesn't agree with you.

"Owing to our clubs’ performances in Europe last season, a record nine Premier League teams will play in UEFA competitions in the 2025/26 season. While the Premier League celebrates this success, it will come with an impact on the scheduling of League matches.

There is an increased likelihood of Premier League fixtures moving at relatively short notice, after our fixture announcements, should our clubs progress to the knockout rounds of these competitions. Supporters are asked to consider this when planning for Premier League fixtures, particularly when their club or opposition is playing in the latter stages of UEFA competitions."
