It’s official – Blackpool have postponed Saturday’s clash with Manchester United due to a frozen pitch.

There were discussions between Blackpool, Manchester United, the Premier League and Match Officials today and it was decided that referee Peter Walton would inspect the pitch. The official was reportedly concerned that certain areas of the surface would not thaw out in time for the planned kick off tomorrow.

Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand broke the news and vented his disappointment via his Twitter page

Blackpool game tomorrow called off due to the frozen pitch, so gutted tweeps. Hope anyone who booked accommodation+hire cars gets their money back.

Earlier we reported how this would affect Fantasy Managers far and wide. A rush of team shuffling and transfers will now be expected prior to tomorrow’s Fantasy deadline.

We await a re-scheduled date for the game which will then give us the first double Gameweek of the season.

    In light of the Blackpool vs Man Utd game being called-off,
    another team to be wary of, in terms of a risk of their HOME games being cancelled due to snowy/icy weather conditions are Fulham. Fulham's Craven Cottage stadium does NOT have under-soil heating to melt the snow off the pitch.

    I would advice to any fantasy managers to stay away from Fulham & Blackpool players in this winter period unless it's a double-gameweek.

      Disagree. In this context its absoutely worth having a Blackpool or Fulham player in your team. Make sure its someone who doesnt always start in your first 11 and just sits on the bench. Come the double gameweeks just roll them out and put them in your first 11.

      Fulham had undersoil heating installed over the summer. It's only Blackpool in the league who don't have it.

    Hello wiseguys!

    I am seriously thinking 8 point hit, including two defenders - mad?
    Thinking to put my defence in order for coming weeks:

    Jara + Enrigue out, Samba + Kyrgiakos in - worth it? (rest of defence is shite, except kolarov)

    And then also vdv out and nasri/gamst/nzog in with another hit.
    Who do you think is best pick for rest of the year?

    Cheers for any response!!!

      I would go for Nasri out of those. Kyrgiakos in is a good shout going to do it myself, I wouldnt transfer Jara out as he is playing so I dont think its worth a hit

        Without seeing the rest of the team I would guess that those two defs are your low value guys (Jara/Enrique) and I don't see the reason for taking a hit. Can't do one transfer? That said, Samba and/or Kyrg are not bad to have at this time.

    I Have Nani, VDV, Adam who wont play. I also have coleman and elmo who i need to get rid off.

    Was thinking of doing Coleman to Kyrgiakos, Elmo to Foley for a 4 point hit. That would leave me able to field 11 players and I would also have sorted out my defence a bit.

    Do you think I should also do VDV to Gamst-Pedersen/Brunt for an 8 point hit just in case someone else doesnt play?? Any thoughts

    Cheers

    Guys, need some advice on my team:

    Foster (Jaaskelinen)
    Dann Kolorov Jones Simpson (Vidic)
    Nasri(c) N'Zogbia (Arteta) (Nani) (VDV)
    Drogba Elmander Carroll

    I currently only have 10 players who will start

    Im thinking Arteta to MGP but should I take a hit to get rid of VDV and bench Simpson? Who should I bring him in for? thinking either Arshavin or Brunt or should I get rid of Vidic and bring in a Chelsea DEF??

    F**k this!
    please excuse my language, but I brought in rooney to be my captain this week, but now I have to play 2 out of Rooney,Nani,Vidic and Adam.
    Can't afford for any more games to be cancelled.

    Only consolation is that I have a DGW to look forward to and a great prospect of a huge captain point haul from rooney if he's anything like that DGW last season.

        Liverpool has a nice run coming up. Just like Man U last year FF-wise in Dec-Jan (Evra-Val-Roo was a goldmine). Only difference is that Liverpool kinda sucks. But they could give a nice return (Kryg/?-Ger-Tor) if all are fit and playing.

      Nah he has to stay. People presumably have a fair bit of value tied up with him anyway...

      He's the highest point scorer in the game by some considerable distance. I'd be keeping him even if he was 13 million.

          I have the same three and I'm going with Tevez.

          Bolton never keep clean sheets and their games are usually fairly high scoring (2-2 vs Utd, 4-2 vs Tottenham etc.). Tevez is a consistent performer and City need a win after drawing against Stoke.

          I still don't really see Nasri as a genuine captain option, although I did go for him a few weeks back at home to Birmingham. If RVP starts then he'll lose a fair few set pieces..

          As for Drogba, the last four times I've captained him, he's got 2 points every time. I won't be giving him the armband for a while now until he starts showing some genuine form and actually looks like he's interested again.
