You have to field at least one forward

You can't have 0 strikers. So you will move into a 4-5-1 or 5-4-1 with a 0 for striker. Lascelles won't come on for them.

Yes, you have to have at least 1 forward in your lineup. So if Bournemouth points are all wiped out, you'll have at least one 0-point forward, but then Lascelles would come on since the other 2 also didn't play

Curly hair, looks like a tree surgeon.

Just because that’s true doesn’t mean it’s tasteful.

Wooooo! Now that's out of line. I'm going to find your MySpace, Linkedin and chatroullette IDs and get you canceled.

The respectful thing to would have been to go to dinner and explain why you're so distracted ..

Like Ally McBeal ..

Oh dude 🙁

I did Haaland vs Alvarez to Solanke and Darwin

Err... 🙁 🙁

Trueee

* give back the 4 points.

But no. If you take -4 and a player is injured or red card or whatever. There’s no consolation. Just the way it it.

Maybe they'll give you a back rub too.

Why bring in a player who is blanking for -4?

is this much different from the covid season when people took hits and then the game was abandoned after the deadline?

been a while but there were gws where snow cancelled matches as well after deadline

It'll be just the same as any other abandonment / cancellation

While they're at it can they give me 6pts back for doing Haaland to him as part of a -8

What happens if u take a hit and that player don't play?... or match postponed?

Why on earth would they do that? That was before the game. It's like saying I want my transfer back because a game was postponed due to snow

I'm not asking people to tell me the rules, I'm asking what's the fair decision.

Maybe the rules need changing.

One against bottom of the table side and another against 10 men, wouldn't read much into it

Got them both

Really?

Why would they do that when they could do it the other way round, so the points come from the game that actually counted

Will be a different gwk then... No?

surely as game not completed points will be voided from today, and points from replay will stand

So you also saw that tweet that had zero source evidence...

If you own Solanke the points stand.

If you don't own Solanke the match gets replayed and points are deducted.

Simples

Yea I think they need to decide today. I didn’t know the hour thing though, just thought it had to be changed today at some point.

They simply have to remove the fixture as if it was a blank gameweek, as unfair as that may be, the match is null and void so the accumulated points should be too

Ye. They tend to stick pretty tight to the '1 hour' rule, but in this case I can actually see it being subject to change.

If they remove all the points and removes the fixture as if they had a BGW, and the clubs agree to a 1-1 result (which I would'nt put much faith in), then they would probably have to backtrack and return the points due to no rematch. If they agree to a 1-1 within 1 hour af the last match this GW.

If they don't remove the points, and a a rematch is coming up FPL are in some wierd spot. Surely they would need to give FPL-points in a rematch where two sides fight for 3 points, and those clubs would therefore have a DGW.
That would be an unfair advantage to all the players owning Solanke and so on because they already got some points this GW.

I think the second outcome is more of a problem to FPL, and therefore they will go with the first one. Simply treat it like a Corona-cancelled match or an abandoned game halfway through due to the weather.
Should the clubs agree to a 1-1 result within the next 24 hours it will be easy for FPL to return points due to no updates, autosubs and stuff.

But for all asking to get points taken in hits returned if the points disapear. That will not happen. That is kinda the nature of the game. Sometimes you are unlucky with weather, illness, injury in warmups after deadline, red cards and so on.
This is simply bad luck due to a tragic accident.

On the contrary, I stopped playing because I was sick of the rules. And the content creators.

If it has been nil nil on 59 minutes there would have been more angst on here from some.

Palmer capt?

63 with 6 to play is almost impossible.

If you have the 5 highest scoring players - Kulusevski, Mateta, Palmer, Richarlison and Burn that's 55 points. If you say you have all 5 of them then the earth is flat

Playing better for Everton than MU. MU using him wrong.

Good practise for tomorrow

Lol it’s the opposite. Solan me owners “I’m happy to surrender my points”.

Thirty minutes later, only worried about their points.

A lot of people saying FPL doesn't matter right now are they very same people.. talking about FPL

Don't you know it. And they'll all be buzzing to buy him for the DGW.

Hope so.

match is replayed midweek and new owners get an unexpected DGW 😎

Yes if both team accept it. Happened when Sweden played Belguim and two swedish fans were killed by a terrorist outside the staduim earlier this year.

I think there's every possibility the agreed outcome, assuming it to be a joint decision between clubs & league, is to leave the result as is with a point apiece.
Really depends on what happens over the next hours and days as to the appetite for a quick replay.

by rules, an abandoned game will be replayed.
But the competition/Premier league has the right to count the score as it is (at the time of play stopping ) if "Where it is to the
advantage of the Competition and does no injustice to either Club, the Management Committee shall order the score at the time of the abandonment to stand"

would be v surprised if Bournemouth were happy to accept a draw

Second I think, but not good at all. Good to have response teams so close by

That's terrible and I hope he's ok - but it doesn't affect my thoughts, emotions or enjoyment in a hobbie in the slightest. And that's ok.

Thank you!

Yeah that's a strange one

My assumption is it's auto-generated. As I'm assuming some poor fella at FPL doesn't sit there and update 22 players minutes played every 60 seconds 😀

for sure

was ok-ish when Fulham got them in the quarter final but not confident at all now

Everton fan here
To be fair our form improved about 1 month before the deduction .
I think they knew it was coming & it gave them the incentive to gets some points on the board .
We're slowly climbing the table .
I really fancy our chance in both the cup competitions (League & FA Cup)

Usually? When has that happened in a match in the English league?

They are beating City under the lights in a few weeks imo

spurs might have work cut out next gw with no bissouma and udogie
