    Wow

    Can't see how the Arsenal game can go ahead

    1. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Agreed and I cant see how the Watford game can either

    2. Manani
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      if they do more tests, I think they will find more players are infected even without showing symptoms. Crazy to me that they are still waiting for someone to get infected before cancelling the match.

    Can't see arsenal game going ahead, they will all need isolated for 2 weeks

    1. smp
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      The entire first team is in a 2 week quarantine. No game for sure.

    2. Manani
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      they are already in self isolation already no?

  3. DannyDrinkVodka

    Thanks a lot Saka

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Very poor.

  4. Al
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Gonna celebrate my players being alive rather than getting me points

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Bit soon for that

    2. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Additional points for surviving a game week from now on?

  5. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Season must be abandoned

  6. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    So Arsenal’s game likely off with that news. Could also mean West Ham v Wolves seeing as Arsenal faced them last week. A lot of teams with 3 wolves and Auba etc.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      -20 coming up.

    2. pablo discobar
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      I'd need to bench my 2 wolves and watford for the (probably unlikely) gw 31

      So Auba and barnes need to be sold

    3. Marmalade Forest
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Bringing Auba in for the DGW

      It’s a shame for me because it’s my best season for years.

  7. goriuanx

    FPL should give us unlimited transfers for fun

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Next season should get covid-19 chip where you can isolate another managers player for two weeks

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        We’ll likely be dealing with the next strain by then

        Covid20, Covid21... where does it end!

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Option of a FH every week imo

    3. Syd.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      We would still screw up

      Just look at how many wildcards / free hits end up in disaster

    4. Queens of the South Age
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Just give out the prize to whoever is top now and then the unlimited transfers. 🙂

      1. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        🙂

      2. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        How are you feeling abut the situation?

        1. Queens of the South Age
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 16 days ago

          Safety first and postponing or cancelling is the right thing to do at the moment. FPL is just a game so insignificant to what is going on really.

  8. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Auba to Jesus?

    1. jdp219
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Surely there are some saying we all need Jesus right now. 😉

  9. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Just cancel all. Give Liverpool tittle and that's it

    1. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Nope - incomplete season.

    2. Puncheon Guly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      What about relegation?

    3. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      If its cancelled now.. no champions, no relegations, clean slate next season.
      Unless its postponed, liverpool wont be champions.

      1. For Fuchs Sake
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        This!

      2. waldo666
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Agreed.

  10. For Fuchs Sake
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Season over I reckon!

  11. Monya Meow Meow
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Arsenal game likely off again, now what FPL?

  12. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Ricardo Pereira out for season while Soyuncu likely involved in the Corona virus symptoms case. Buy Watford attackers people!

    1. Gudjohnsen
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Auba to Deeney?

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        Guess ill do that

        Sarr deeney double

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    this is crazy games are going ahead with fans this weekend with players, managers all being suspected or confirmed

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Do you know what's more crazy? Airports and trains remaining open

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        indeed, that is just absolutely unbelievable. I agree

      2. For Fuchs Sake
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        not really, this country already has it, no point closing airports

  14. Qaiss
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Arsenal game won’t go ahead. Players were obviously close with Arteta in the last week. Full first team has to self isolate.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      for 2 weeks?

  15. Manani
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    surely not just arsenal game be cancelled?

    They should test everyone to make sure they are not infected before playing the game. Or else we get something like few days later someone got tested positive and it's hard to trace back

  16. TorresMagic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights

    The previous Hot Topic on all games was always likely to be temporary.

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      The fact that the time gap between the two announcements is so small is pretty revealing.

  17. thobe230
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Loud noises!!

  18. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Ah I know it's just a game but it's becoming just pot luck now isn't it? What a mess.

  19. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Well Arsenal v Brighton is gone.

    Possibly West Ham v wolves due to proximity to Arsenal game last week. Quite likely a few other players have it which then leads to isolation.

    Might get a few games this week. But 100% none next week.

  20. jamiet
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    Struggling

    Martial or B Fernandes

    Both are great options - will martial be for the weekend, he is 0.5m cheaper too

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Bruno if the game is on.

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Stop struggling. The whole thing could be scraped at this stage 😆 both good options

      1. jamiet
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        True

        but just in case it does I have to have a good team lol

    3. Hitmonlee
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Wouldn’t worry pal. All games probably cancelled for the foreseeable. Very soon

  21. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    I just don't understand the reason why so many people on here want the have Premier League matches called?

    Is it?:

    A) They are concerned about the spread of the Coronavirus and believe the government are being reckless.
    B) They have rubbish FPL ranks and what this to be wiped out by the season finishing early
    C) They want Liverpool to be denied the title by the season finishing early?

    1. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      B

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        All 3.
        In order a,c,b

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      It’s a global pandemic forget about fpl for awhile and try reduce the spread.

    3. Queens of the South Age
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Clearly A.....definitely not B........but also mostly C.

    4. Sgt Frank Drebin
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      There's no point in keep going with Premier League. It will be suspended sooner or later. From the FPL point of view I rather it is suspended now than in the middle of a GW or some matches played and some not. It will be too chaotic. Imho the best solution would be to suspend all football for now, resume in a month or two when the epidemic is halted, finish the season in June or July, move Euros to next year

      1. jason_ni
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        This, but it makes too much sense.
        It would have to mean the euros getting pushed back a year for it to work tho.

    5. Salarrivederci
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      A, but reckless simply does not cover it.

      Most are trying to prevent a situation like Italy, where the healthcare-system is completely and utterly overloaded which results in so many deaths (beforehand sick patients who can't get whatever treatment they need due to overload, and 'elderly' + already sick people catching coronavirus, and being to 'weak' to fight it off).

      Letting fans to stadiums and so on are just plain stupid, and will result in a grim situation in a few weeks.

  22. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané

    This is a right mess....

  23. Hitmonlee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    I can see the whole league being postponed. No way will they risk carrying it on. Imagine if a player died (obviously a very worse case scenario).
    The prem are in a position to prevent illness and death. No way are they going to gamble on that

  24. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    What the hell do we do with Auba now?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      Potentially DGW30 to another blank.

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Breaking: In wake of Arteta announcement, PL to hold emergency meeting with clubs tomorrow.

      what a mess

      1. lespaul
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 16 days ago

        They just said all games will go ahead....no backsies

    2. svasei - Up (?) the Rovers
      • 14 Years

      Free wildcards for everyone.

  26. pablo discobar
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 16 days ago

    I'd have to do

    Auba to jota
    Barnes to Alli (to Fernandes gw 32)
    And I'll bring Alonso in as well

    -4

    If the wolves game goes as well I'm fooked

  27. goriuanx
    • 13 Years

    Stay safe guys and try to look after the elderly if you can.

  28. Brehmeren

    With the current approach from the UK government, the country will be hit on an unimaginable scale.

    1. mb1983
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 16 days ago

      True. Couldn't believe what I was hearing in the press conference earlier!

    2. Salarrivederci

      Amazes me how those people came to power in the first place 😀

  29. Bury94

    I have no clue how we can plan as FPL managers going forward. Season's done from an FPL perspective

  30. Hazz

    Can't even Wildcard in safety tbh 😆
