Coronavirus updates overshadow preparations for FPL Gameweek 30

The build-up to Gameweek 30 of Fantasy Premier League was overshadowed by a string of Coronavirus (COVID-19) updates on Thursday.

Brendan Rodgers announced in his latest press conference that three first-team Leicester City players were “being kept away” from the main bulk of the squad having “shown symptoms and signs” of the virus.

The Foxes boss did not reveal which individuals were affected by this decision, but the local press have reported that, as they have shown only “minor symptoms of a cold-like illness”, they have “not yet been tested for coronavirus as they have not hit the threshold in terms of symptoms”.

Later on, a Leicester statement confirmed that “all three players were advised by NHS 111 that their symptoms were consistent with seasonal illness”.

“We’re taking all the necessary precautions that everyone is doing. We’ve had a few players that have shown symptoms and signs, so we’re following procedure really with them. They’ve been kept away at this moment from the rest of the squad. We’ll see how that develops. We have to wait and see [if it will keep them out of the weekend’s game]. It’s about having the agility to react. This is about health. This is more than football. This is players and their families and children. So with any risks that are there, for their health and everyone else’s, we have to mitigate against that. A few players who have shown symptoms, we’ve self-isolated them. We’ll see how that develops over the next couple of days. We’ve got three [players in self-isolation].” – Brendan Rodgers

Either way, the fact that Leicester’s players shared a pitch with those of both Aston Villa and Norwich inside the last 14 days will probably make the latest updates from Dean Smith and Daniel Farke more important than usual.

Alonso back on FPL radar but Chelsea defensive woes continue 2

Meanwhile, the Athletic and Football.London reported on Thursday afternoon that preparations for Chelsea’s upcoming meeting with Aston Villa were disrupted in connection with COVID-19.

Athletic Reporter Simon Johnson claimed that the Blues’ training session had been cancelled after “someone close to the squad complained of coronavirus symptoms” on Wednesday evening.

Manchester City’s schedule has also been affected, following some breaking news from Spain on Thursday morning.

It was revealed that, following one of the club’s professional basketball players testing positive for COVID-19, the Real Madrid squad was entering into 14 days of self-isolation.

This period includes Manchester City’s scheduled Champions League second-round second-leg tie with the Spanish side, which has now been officially postponed.

“Real Madrid reports that a player from our first basketball team has tested positive after testing for the COVID-19 coronavirus. Since then, the recommendation has been made to quarantine both the basketball first team and the football first team, given that the two squads share facilities in Madrid. Likewise, it has been decided to close the facilities of our sports city and it is also recommended that all Real Madrid personnel who provide their services in Real Madrid City remain in quarantine.” – Real Madrid statement

“Manchester City’s UEFA Champions League fixture at home to Real Madrid has been postponed. The decision to postpone Tuesday’s game was made in conjunction with UEFA and follows confirmation that players from Real Madrid will self-isolate, after it emerged that a player from the club’s basketball team tested positive for COVID-19.” – Manchester City statement

Elsewhere in the Champions League, the entire Juventus squad has also been placed in self-isolation following an official club announcement that defender Daniele Rugani had tested positive for COVID-19.

That development has seen their upcoming Champions League trip to Lyon called into question.

“You’ve read the news, so I want to reassure everyone who’s worried about me, I’m fine. I urge everyone to respect the rules, because this virus makes no distinction! Let’s do it for ourselves, for our loved ones and for those around us.” – Daniele Rugani

Meanwhile, Wolves and Manchester United’s Thursday evening Europa League matches are yet to be called off.

The Red Devils’ trip to Austria to face LASK has been closed off to fans, as has Wolves meeting with Olympiacos in Athens.

It was the Greek club who were at the heart of the story earlier this week as their owner, Evangelos Marinakis, who also owns Nottingham Forest, revealed he had tested positive for COVID-19.

As he was in contact with several Arsenal players for a Europa League tie at the Emirates Stadium 12 days prior to this announcement, the Gunners’ midweek trip to Manchester City was postponed, cancelling Double Gameweek 29.

Arsenal reported that a select and unspecified group of players would spend the rest of this week self-isolating to see out the 14-day period after meeting Marinakis and that they would return to training on Friday to prepare for the trip to Brighton.

Naturally, this has led to some concern in West Ham circles, as the Hammers travelled to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in Gameweek 29.

A UEFA response to developments in both the Champions League and Europa League is likely to come next Tuesday.

The European footballing body has called an emergency meeting, sensibly to be held as a video conference, between all 55 organisations under its remit to discuss how the sport will move forward on the continent.

The fate of this season’s Champions League and Europa League are expected to be decided at this coming together, while there are already suggestions in the media that it will also see some call for Euro 2020 to be postponed until 2021 to allow major domestic divisions to complete their 2019/20 campaigns before the start of 2020/21.

The wider world has already seen a deluge of events brought to a halt by the ongoing spread of COVID-19. Following Real Madrid’s announcement, La Liga was officially suspended for two weeks, following in the footsteps of Serie A in Italy which took the same decision earlier this week.

Thursday also saw major leagues in Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway suspended for a period of at least two weeks, while the MLS in America moved to cease all matches for the next 30 days.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson revealed on Thursday afternoon that the government are considering banning major public events, such as sporting fixtures, which would include the Premier League. However, such decision is not expected to be immediate.

What to do if you think you might have coronavirus*

If you think you might have coronavirus or you’ve been in close contact with someone who has it:

  • stay at home and avoid close contact with other people
  • do not go to a GP surgery, pharmacy or hospital
  • use the NHS 111 online coronavirus service to find out what to do next

The 111 coronavirus service will tell you if you need to continue to stay at home (self-isolate) or if you need medical help.

        Man City QUADRUPLE Gameweek32 solves this

        Arsenal Wed 25th
        Newcastle Sun 29th
        Chelsea Wed 1st
        Liverpool Sun 5th

        Done

    4. rozzo
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 17 days ago

      The season will be cancelled. How can players train normally with all this going on?

      Even if they postpone the season for a month how can they reschedule all those games into a small timeframe.

      Man City already have about 4 games to be rescheduled. Are they gonna play 7 games in two weeks over April?

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        In summer and cancel Euro's

      2. Bury94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        It says in the article that they could postpone Euro 2020 for a year in order to finish the season

      3. FOO FIGHTER
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        The season will not be cancelled. Delayed, postponed etc is what you can expect.

              interesting question btw. what makes you a casual. is it your decision making along the gameweeks, your overall rank consistency?

                I dunno. It's a subjective term. Its basically a label given by arrogant posters to refer to anyone doing better than them undeservedly due to perceived luck .

        This would be funny if Liverpool had got the most VAR decisions and points swing. Unfortunately for the joke, they're nowhere near the top of the list.

            I'm not worried about that, just annoyed that I've got tickets to the trophy lift which may or may not happen on the date I've booked train, hotel etc.

      Serious question; do you think avoiding large crowds of people is sensible or overreacting?

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Considering the skyrocketing number of cases--especially here in the US--it seems pretty sensible.

      2. Bury94
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Sensible.

      3. jia you
        • 7 Years

        come on, it's basic common sense!

        • 5 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        Who knows? If it goes up exponentially over the next 2 weeks and we've done nothing about it we'll look rather foolish.

      5. teneighty
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        I think it's sensible. Hard though if you live in a large city and need to use public transportation to get to work.

      6. Brosstan
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 17 days ago

        For personal safety its overreacting. There is no reason for most people to be scared of their own health and safety or that of most of their loved ones.

        For keeping the spread of the virus down and thus reducing the chance that old and sick people catch the virus its sensible.

          Not at all. I like Liverpool. I'm a Stoke fan.

          Was more of a clickbait it seems, not decided yet but looks more probable.

        They are claiming an exclusive for doing the same as we are, guessing what EUFA will do.

      Can somebody explain the toilet roll wars going on in western countries these days...people are ridiculous, it's not bloody Ebola 😉

        Is it happening in other countries than the US? Serious question.

        1. Wild Rover
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          It's not happening in Blackburn, our supermarkets have loads

            Stores in my area have limited 2 items per customer for tissues, handwash etc.

          Yup, big rows in supermarkets in Australia over it and loads are buying in bulk in other western countries also... ridiculous!

          Yes it happened in Japan too!

          replied to the original post but typed some words that needed moderation it seems, so is under review!

        Haha! I can't. I'm in the US. My wife was at a store and they were completely sold out of TP, of all things. Maybe as extra tissue for runny noses...?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          They are limiting sanitizing wipes per customer. But at last check, TP was a free for all.

          the largest loo paper manufacturer in the uk has said that there are no worries about running out

        The majority are obese and eat a lot of greasy food so the idea of not having enough toilet rolls to deal with the resulting greasy waste is a big fear. If you have a good diet you wouldnt need more than a fabric cloth in a crisis situation.

          What did you eat for lunch and what's for dinner?

          1. Brosstan
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            Lunch a smoothie with nuts and fruits and vegetables... standard for me. Dinner not the best, chicken wings and bbq sauce... feeling lazy today. I dont eat breakfast. Another problem for most people is that they simply eat too much during the day so the body has no use for most of the food and lets it just go through the system and out as waste.

              Good stuff, breakfast is probably the most important though.

                never had an appetite in the morning since I was a kid. Only managed to eat breakfast consistently in periods where I worked out a lot but those days are over a long time ago!

                This is a myth

          They're going wake up one morning and find they can't get a McDonalds breakfast delivered
          After a week of no food they will wonder wtf the loo rolls are for

          Are you fkng mental. We're British , dignity in a crisis is paramount.

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

            Just tear them up into 4 smaller squares

              Stop.
              That's given me flashbacks of the time I got caught short at the gloucester services.

      Maddison ( what a mistake I made with this transfer ...) To

      A Antonio
      B Alli

      Thanks

        See which games are on. Their GW31 game could be off too.

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          But if you don't take Coronavirus in account which transfer looks best ?

            United can defend so Antonio

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus

        Get Bruno instead

        1. Ajax Hamsterdam
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 17 days ago

          I would but he's missing 31

          1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 17 days ago

            "Get him anyway - he's a far better option than the other two clowns - Don't let GW31 cloud the issue"

            Is what I would normally say

            To be honest - in the current situation, you could sign anyone you want 🙂
