Tottenham hit by Covid-19 outbreak ahead of Gameweek 16

Tottenham Hotspur’s preparations for the festive period have been hit by a Covid-19 outbreak at the club.

It is understood a number of first-team players and club staff have returned positive tests, with more PCR testing due to take place over the next 24 hours, though it has not been revealed which individuals have contracted the disease.

The 10-day period of self-isolation for anyone who tests positive means that the Spurs players affected could miss their next three games.

Spurs are due to face Rennes in the UEFA Europa Conference League in London on Thursday, followed by Premier League encounters against Brighton and Hove Albion on Sunday and Leicester City next Thursday.

It is yet to be established whether the club will contact the Premier League about Sunday’s game at the Amex Stadium, but a decision to postpone league matches can only be made by the competition board.

At this stage, it goes without saying that Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers should hold onto their transfers, at least until the situation becomes clearer in the coming days, with Antonio Conte due to face the media ahead of Thursday’s European tie.

      If Brighton game is postponed then surely the Leicester game will be as well as 10 days will not be up. So its either both or none postponed.

      Any advice for a free hit team for UCL..? Playing it a lot more casually than FPL, not much time/research invested so I definitely have some blind spots & would appreciate any comments:

      Oblak / Szczęsny
      Alex Sandro / Otamendi / Mazraoui / Mandava / Rüdiger

      In the worst stretch of my FPL career right now. After GW 11 I was 701,419th. Now I'm 1,545,971st after benching Bowen and captaining Kane for a 28 point haul in GW 15.

      GW 12 - Bowen & Kane in for Greenwood & Vardy (4 point hit)

      GW 13 - TAA & Saint-Maximin in for Jansson & Ronaldo (4 point hit)

      GW 14 - James & Jota in for Chilwell & Gray (4 point hit)

      GW 15 - No transfer

        It would be good to get some info that we didn’t already know last night, although I appreciate there probably isn’t any. Different rules apply for Europe so Spurs playing on Thursday doesn’t set a precedent for Sunday … or does it?

        What are the rules that the competition board are supposed to follow? My recollection from last year was that it amounted to ‘it depends’ and even then there was no consistency.

        Maybe we can hope for news on cancellations before the GW starts, but with the Friday night match, even that could be a stretch.

          No, UEFA rules are if a club has 13 first team players (1GK included) available they have to play. PL has no defined criteria, its just decided if a club requests postponement

        RONALDO/Bissouma

        -4

        I have Antonio and Dennis as my other strikers, I don't plan on playing Bissouma.

        Thought was that Ronaldo may become a secondary captain option for the merry month of erm December.
