Covid19 FPL Implications

They could have a quick turnaround on seasons during the summer with the idea being players should have a rest for possibly the next month or more.

I'd say 3 months. The situation in the UK will be worse in 3 weeks time than it is now.

Well, with you treating the sick, yeah!

Madness
I am carrying a FT
If I don’t want to lose it I have to make a transfer this week and next !!!!!

Going to be a LOT of DGWS too
Be as well of just scrapping it now
Not sure I’ll play next season . Think I need a year out

May as well make the 2 FT so
It’s a lottery either way
Fernandes and somebody else to come in

Make one, keep one.

We might (albeit very unlikely) have more information before next weeks deadline.

Where does it say you can't carry the transfers over. If I don't make a transfer this week, do I have 2 free ones next week? The whole thing is stupid!

You can carry them. It's if you have 2 FTs already, you'll have to use one or lose it.

Basically the game is carrying on as normal, just so happens that GW30 and GW31 are blanks for all teams.

Probably being cheeky, but what happens if you have one free transfer this week and don't make one this week. Do you get 2 next week?

Yep, same as always. If I'm reading it right anyway!

So the game continues as normal but with no matches being played seems pretty straight forward. At the same time this is going to lead to the most bizarre GW38 unless they change gw deadlines once things have got back to normal? Quadruple gameweek anyone?

Actually, an interesting point I saw on FFS (unusual for there!). One of the tiebreakers in leagues is number of transfers made, so if you have 2FTs, no obvious move, and are in a tight league, it might be better to burn a FT.

I don’t have a wildcard though

If those 2 rounds of games are moved past 38 then 38 becomes a triple Gameweek
Stupid

Would they not just make up a game week 39 and 40 instead of having so many games in one week?

Oh yeah maybe

In a H2H league, who is your opponent for gameweeks 39 and 40?

If it ends up continuing gw 30 or 31 will just have all fixtures pushed into gw 37. A dgw for 20 teams.

Surely making less transfers is better than more?

This is why there can be no extra gameweeks imo

So how then do they decide which team from each head to head goes through on the weeks with no games?

Sam Wallace of the Telegraph reporting that clubs believe they can still finish on May 17 IF games restart on April 4.

I’d imagine that’s on the basis that the CL/EL is still suspended and the FA Cup gets kicked to the curb.

Are the clubs/PL that naïve to think that they will be restarting on April 4?

Or is that economic cost of the whole thing all they really care about.
