I think fixtures are negotiated to some extent these days

randomised to a point, then rejigged. Then some clubs with sensitivity issues are taken into account

Then there's big city fixtures where one is at home, the other away

I think they're probably drafted a few times before being released

So yeah, those fixtures aren't altogether without research
