What's the deal with scheduling friendlies?

I logged on today whilst my friendly game was being played. Right after, I came onto the forum looking for an opponent for next week.
Yet most people's teams are unavailable - meaning they've already scheduled a friendly?!
It was 4 minutes past 13.00hrs CET when I started - surely there's no way that 15+ people all managed to schedule a friendly and accept the invite within 10 minutes of this week's friendlies finishing?

Is there a way to schedule friendlies more than a week in advance that I have missed?

Friendlies are played on different times today so most people still have to play this weeks friendly and so they can not be challenged yet.

A lot of friendly's are at 15:00, so the friendly round of this week isnt over yet.

Try arranging one tonight

The other users which have posted are correct. Friendly times are based on your Continental area. So for example: I am from the UK, Atlantic Europe. My friendly, at home, was at 12:00 GMT. However, for a North American user, his/her friendly is at 20:00 GMT.

And in short, there is no way to arrange a friendly in advance.

Hope this helps

Guru.

I see what I done there.

As someone who is from the other side of the world...or I guess that also depends where you are....I should really know about time differences.
Do all friendlies in the UK take place at 12 GMT?

Ah. But I have just noticed that if you play an away game, in another timezone, the kickoff changes. A UK team playing an away friendly in Serbia kicks off at 16.30 GMT. Yet there's not a 4hr 30min difference between the UK and Serbia. I know, I have been there!
This could get confusing. I think I will just wait until Monday nights before scheduling friendlies and stick with that.
Thank you for the responses.

Balkans Region plays matches at 16.30 CET, not GMT.

So even though I am in the UK, all the times shown on my match schedule page are in CET?

Yep

In line with the clock at the top right, which ofcourse, is also CET.
