Man City v West Ham postponed due to adverse weather conditions

One of today’s two Premier League matches has been called off.

Manchester City announced this morning that their meeting with West Ham United wouldn’t go ahead “due to extreme and escalating weather conditions and in the interests of supporter and staff safety.”

A date for the postponed match has yet to be announced (it remains to be seen if the winter break could still accommodate this clash) but City are facing a real backlog of fixtures, with Pep Guardiola’s troops also blanking in Gameweek 28.

Progression to the FA Cup quarter-finals (or Chelsea’s) would also force their Gameweek 31 meeting with Frank Lampard’s side to be rearranged.

City’s Gameweek 34 clash against Newcastle United would be postponed if either team made it through to the FA Cup semi-finals, although the free midweek afterwards would accommodate one of their outstanding games.

As it stands, the other Premier League match scheduled for today – Sheffield United v Bournemouth – remains on.

The Blades’ fan services account tweeted this update earlier on:

    A possible city treble gameweek ?

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Two treble GWs

    2. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 years, 8 months ago

      Free hit and double up on Kun/Jesus up front for me if that happens.

      1. Sharkytect
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Would be rotated

    3. The 12th Man
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Who you going to get though? Ederson

      Playing 3 times in a week. Foden ,Sane could get a game.

      1. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Kun and Jesus likely to play around 120 each or so, would be worth having both.

  2. The 12th Man
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    So turns out KDB and Aguero are benched today.

    Wind roulette

    Why don't they just play FIFA online instead.

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      imagine if that was official fa rules.....postponed games to be decided by fifa match 😆
      that would chnage fpl as wed have to know who would eb the designated fifa player....miught not be a good normal player

    2. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I would be but my internet is down 🙁

  4. Do I Not Like Orange
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    City postponement a non-event in my MLs - none of the contenders have anyone other than KDB. However, with WC and FH still to go I wouldn't be displeased with another chance to get Kun or other attacking coverage in for a game at home to West Ham, especially if it's part of a double.

    1. thegaffer82
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Same here. I didn't WC, but

      1. thegaffer82
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        ...but I took a hit to get Kun last week and I own KDB too.

        I'm over it now. Just hope we get a nice DGW out of City later on

  5. R.C.
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone having less than 11 players playing today?

    1. R.C.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      this GW*

    2. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I have only one who might not play as well

    3. Cantona's Kung Fu Kick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I thought last gameweek was bad, little did I know

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'll have 11 players.

      Just wont have a captain

    5. lindeg
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      will probably end with 10

  6. TheTinman
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Losing very little as a KDB owner. Only have Rico on the bench now though so need the other 10 to play...

  7. SB007
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Fans in Sheffield asking for it to be called off. Weather horrendous. 0-0 coming

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      id like that

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I really hope you're called Heather

      1. SB007
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        I’m not

    3. R.C.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Call it off

    4. El Presidente
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Pitch is fine! Let's go!!

    5. FPL.team
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Which ones in particular?

  8. My name is an echo
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Chances of other games being postponed this week?

    1. Cahill
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      zero

  9. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I want City eliminated from the CL and a QGW36:

    1 May: BOU
    4 May: ARS
    6 May: che
    8 May: WHU

    Mane TC'ers would delete their account 😀

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Until Aguero pulls up with his hammy in the first 5mins of the BOU game

  10. Arteta
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Lucky West Ham. They would get spanked today!

    1. beric
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah, now they get to get spanked in a few weeks

    2. The 12th Man
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It’s like putting off going to the dentist.

      They’ll get their treatment eventually.

    3. noquarternt
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      They’ll have to get spanked at some point

  11. Syd.
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    I am more disappointed because I will now have to find something else to do today.

    Was looking forward to watching the game regardless of FPL

  13. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    A postponement due to weather conditions should just result in a 0-0 I reckon 😉

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Artificial storm incoming

    2. lindeg
      • 6 Years

      haha just unlucky if you are in the title race

  14. JONALDINHO

    I'm on Kun captain with KDB. What happens?

    1. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Both you and KDB will get VCs

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No captain if moved to another GW?

    3. SB007
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Zero plus zero equals ....

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nil point.

    5. squits
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Hope the rest of your team score well because you're playing two down and without a captain for this GW

    6. My name is an echo
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      0 points unfortunately for your captain

    7. diesel001
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      You pray and keep your fingers crossed that they rearrange the game in GW26. Otherwise you are getting a big fat zero from Kun(c) and KDB(vc). But you will get their autosubs in, just not any doubling of their points.

    8. Arteta
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Lie down.
      Try not to cry.
      Cry a lot.

    9. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      you get i-i points from your captains

      where i is square root of -1

      1. circusmonkey
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        No problem with Salah coming in but no goalie this week. It makes sense to play it next weekend.

    10. noquarternt
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Wait for the red arrow I’m afraid

  15. Regin
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    So this means city will just play next weekend? They will still play in this gw?

    1. squits
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Highly unlikely as they wouldn't get a winter break if this is the case. Trained all week for this weekend

      1. Regin
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        Oh good. I have no city players. (Or West Ham players.)

    2. StayoutheSpiceZone
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      No chance

    3. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Nope

  16. fplking14
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Captained Kun and vice capped KDB where do I go to quit the game.

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      In setting, their is a delete option I guess

  17. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    NOOOOOooooooooooooooooo!

  18. Lucky Z
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    KDB (C) DCL (VC) means I can celebrate 22 points or City's game can still remain within this GW?

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Can still remain

    2. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      100%! You can celebrate. There's no way the game will take place in gw 26.

    3. UTD - HATED, ADORED, BUT NE…
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Won’t take place this gw - celebrate

    4. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      It can happen this GW.

    5. Lucky Z
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers all

  19. FOO FIGHTER
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    We gotta at least have something to watch today. Hoping SHU match goes ahead including double digit haul from Henderson :-b

  20. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Probably going to be rescheduled to a different GW - Mark doesn't have KDB or Aguero in this team 😉

  21. Tomerick
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Rival has KDB captain and Mahrez VC. This could be season defining.

    1. Holmes
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Only if your captain do well 😉

      1. Tomerick
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        True. Nice to see that it’s Holgate and Dunk coming off his bench for them though.

  22. SADIO SANÉ
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    unfortunately I'm only selling one of Digne/Sidibe - Digne is clearly the better option but if Walcott is out for a while could keeping Sidibe have merit?

    Basically, if I get rid of Digne I can spend 4.4 (Fernandez/Stephens) - if Sidibe I can only get Lamptey/Hanley as bench fodder...

    Digne -> Fernandez/Stephens/Lascelles
    OR
    Sidibe -> Lamptey/Hanley?

    1. Cahill
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      wouldnt say its a great time to ask for next gameweek advice 😀

      sid out though

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        the hysteria is dying down now 😀 - cheers, slightly hopefully that RB spot is Lamptey's after watching yesterday

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Gotta get rid of both with those fixtures. You'll be benching the other one anyway

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 8 months ago

        nah, think I'll play Digne against Arsenal/United, we'll see

  23. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    At least if does get rearranged for next week, Aguero should start because he was rested today....

  24. Fantasy Gold
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 8 months ago

    Pitch inspection taking place at Sheff U...

    5. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Hopefully it gets cancelled. Rival has double defence, I sold Lundstram for a Southampton player.

    6. Do I Not Like Orange
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      I'll be fielding about 9 players this week if that gets cancelled.

      Where's your source? Game goes ahead from what I last saw.

  25. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Hope for A Cantwell goal and a Lundstram start as Aguero (c) and Kun don’t have a game. Luckily Salah VC.

    1. squits
      • 14 Years

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Just play the f#*%#$g game and be done with it.

    4. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      Especially as it only 50 odd miles from Sheffield and they can play. but even then it was late for the west ham fans who would have already set off.

    5. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 8 months ago

      The forecast said it would.

      Ridiculous.

  28. DAZZ

    It really is a gift from the fpl gods for us non aguero owners. If it does get re arranged for another GW. Auba > Aguero will be simple
