I mean, that's true, but the point still stands - every first Friday of a sprint there is ALWAYS going to be work to be done.

And what if they're doing Kanban?

The point is, Fridays off shouldn't ever be dependent on "all work being done".

You should be able to tell by the first Friday if you're on-track to finish your sprint without working Fridays. You can't tell now because you're overloaded.

I'm really not overloaded, I have a very agile team and we usually don't take more than we can manage.

But saying you can always, with 100% certainty predict what blockers may arise in the whole next week is a kind of clairvoyance I'm not sure is possible. If it was, we wouldn't need daily standups in that second week.

And, once again, Kanban is a thing.

Please, let's just not use "all work being done" as a metric for time off.
