Gameweek 17 Matchday Thread - Bare-bones edition II

ElTel

To paraphrase Dychey

There's no guarantee things will be better on Stephens day.

I can see tonight being the last football for a few weeks.

Would you be postponing GW17 -> GW22 completely or just moving the fixtures down the road?

It's important for a FPL pov. I wouldn't have bought Bowen for his GW17-GW22 fixtures, not his GW23-GW27 fixtures for example.

I’d say they’ll handle it similar to when the first lockdown happened last year, you’ll be able to use free transfers during the pause (if it is paused that is) and then when it re-opens they’ll probably hand everyone unlimited transfers.

Postponing and fitting them into DGWs would seem most likely.

This has turned into a game of luck now the last 2 GW's.

Playing someone in the cup, about 5 million OR above me and I will be beaten by a few points it looks like.

Taking hits now for transfers is hurting more when your transfer in doesn't even get a chance to get onto the field with games postponed.

Lads here said it last year, the fun is gone when this **** happens!

An increasing number of Premier League clubs would support suspending games until the weekend of Jan 8-9, when FA Cup third-round ties are due to take place in an attempt to deal with the growing coronavirus crisis.

It's getting a bit silly now. A weekend postponement might be for the best.
