We play Watford on January the 1st so it counts if he is booked then
The round of fixtures conclude in the 1st for all teams otherwise we would gain an advantage
I totally get the logic of what you are saying, and that is certainly how I would have expected it to work. But the FA website link clearly refers to players who are receiving their 5th caution ON (or after) 1 January will not receive a ban.
So either the FA have not updated their own rules website to allow for changes to match dates due to TV schedules or it is just the luck of the draw.
Edit: I suppose there could be a variety of reasons why a game might be moved or postponed. So it is probably easier just to have the one cut off point.
