Just noticed that West Ham are playing again on Friday night, be very surprised if there isn't more rotation.

FPL HQ too, given how much of a mess they made of it last time.

Imagine the scenes if the season was stopped in the middle of the DGW?

No doubt they'll do what makes least sense again and somehow screws over a load of people!

A guess would be finish this GW then go for the break. How all the games are completed will be a logistical nightmare.

Not every club partakes in the dark arts of injury recovery.

It was last season! I had PEA (c) and Arsenal & Man City had a DGW.

They should give everyone five Free Hit chips and leave it at that

Free wildcard for the restart. Players who planned ahead wasted their time and possibly points too.

Bein Sports are stating that it’s the premier league clubs have asked for the PL to take the 2 week break and the PL have said they’ll consider it

Allways. Call the lads dinosaurs or what ever you like but the pundits on Bein and the way they discuss topics without fear of pissing people off is brilliant! You could see the lads fuming at City getting their game off but Sheffield United having too play with more players affected. No way Sky would speak like that

I was just about to say the same.

I had Sky Sports Soccer Special on before that and they defending every decision and wouldn't dare step out of line.

Andy and Richard say it as they like, and they often have digs at Sky too.

I enjoy watching their analysis and discussion more than Sky apart from when Roy Keane is on.



PS. anyway!!

Come on now Bam and a Leeds CS.....

2 weeks without football, that’s worse than catching Covid

The season is going to be a mess with games being postponed, will they learn their lesson and pause the game this time.

Also where do they get 2 weeks from? what would they do if it's equally as bad in 2 weeks time.

If the below is true, and you have large number of those players positive, is it not due to idiotic behaviour that teams are now affected rather than anything else. Neither Luiz, Gabriel or William are in the squad tonight. Maybe they have been dropped as punishment, but either way - all those players in a hotel together during this pandemic is borderline stupid

The Brazilian Christmas party didn't help things either. Both at Man City but now also at external clubs.

Ederson, Cancelo, Jesus, Torres, Gabriel, William, David Luiz, Vinicius & Lucas Moura all either tested positive or unavailable. All were in London last week overnight.

Man City are blaming the outbreak on an overnight stay in a London hotel but given the track record of Man City player breaches, I think they should be looking at their players instead.

Surely FPL have coded the game this season to allow for such to be done.... Surely.....

Fair grand to have 4 games off at one time here. Feels a bit like a Saturday! (checks to see what day it actually is)

Yea i had thought about that - especially with the large numbers in hospitals and back logs - back to the early days of March.

wonder would the powers to be in the FF towers be given out free chips then

It would be sensible maybe even a longer break. As aside from fpl current situation is madness, families travel over christmas period and so on.

Is that a first? A goal in FPL with no assist or goalscorer?
