UEFA aims to have 2019/20 club competitions finished by the end of June

If they are willing to play games behind closed doors then I think they may have some luck doing this. If they want to play with fans in the stadiums I think it's unrealistic

Is there anybody there?

They can think what they like. Right now the like of Macron and Pedro Sanchez will be deciding.

Any thoughts that UEFA will be deciding when football restarts is for the birds...for now.

I'm a Brit living in Germany. Just had a couple of days in England with my German wife but she was panicking that Europe would shut down and we'd never get home again so we came back early. France is in a strict lockdown but when we rolled off the ferry at Dunkerque there was nothing. No checks. We could have gone to Paris for a couple of nights. No controls on the France/Belgium border and no controls on the Belgium/German border. I understand what the EU politicians are saying about containing Corona but I didn't see it in reality today.

Madrid's being hit hard. Stay safe Ted.

A. Sarr + Jiminez

or

B. Bruno + Wood

or

C. Bruno + Ayew

I work for a company that pays out salaries of £120mill per month. Main revenue stream is from airline companies. This could get really ugly. Hopefully this stupid government can pardon corporate taxes to some extent.

Good luck everyone, stay safe.

Anyone from Oz here? Seems amidst all this talk of lockdowns, and all sporting events being postponed or cancelled, that the new AFL season is due to start on Thursday, all be it behind closed doors. Remarkable if so.

Since FPL has decided to continue the game weeks, there will consequently by a massive Octuple Game Week 38.

So should we even with no further announcements WC in GW 37 and set up a speculative team for June (Kane, etc) and BB on May 16?

Need to use a FT to replace Sidibe. Not been active to search for options myself as I am trying to make the most of this break for writing my dissertation. So, forgive me for doing the lazy thing.

Please suggest a defender up to 5.6. First on my mind is Maguire, but any cheaper/better options? My defense atm is :
TAA, Taylor, Lascelles, Sidibe*, Williams

Turkish Mafia Erdogan has chosen a wrong time to open his refugee hoard to Europe.

It's ok no one's looking there, too busy looking at pasta logistics and bum wipes.

On a scale of one to ten, how much do you miss football?

2 fts, I can do
Aurier and Rico > Alonso and Dann
Thoughts????

So in Jun, it will start GW30 or ?

Unless players and team staff are willing to be isolated for the duration of the season, with or without families, I can't see how they can play without someone getting corona and then stopping play again.

With Uefa calling for domestic Leagues to be finished this season, obviously would have had a chat to the FA in the process so one can only assume that the League will be finished behind closed doors.

My strategy will then be to have no players who have European fixtures left. Travelling throughout Europe will be a nightmare...

this might actually be good for spurs, given that kane and son may recover and play again this season

The announcement in this article is basically ‘we WANT them to finish cos money’ nothing else. They can’t do it

I was thinking the same. I personally believe next season won't start until this season is played out in full. I mean league games only by the way.

So, what to do with the GW 31 transfer? Time to ditch a non-nailed player?

This kind of feels moot, but something to do eh ...

I suspect after this GW the powers that will be will just freeze FPL rather than keep the existing GW schedule and blanking each week while granting an FT. Then when/if fixtures resume (June, seems unlikely even behind closed doors but I do think they'll finish them at some point, not doing so has the biggest repercussions of any scenario) just pickup where we left off with the new GW schedule.

That being said, I have 2FT and I feel it's best to use them than lose them as I have tweaks to be made and who knows, maybe they will keep the GW schedule and keep granting FTs. So I'm thinking of doing Button to Pope and then Boly to a 4.3 defender. How does that sound and who is the best defender at that price? Taylor (don't fancy Burnley double up), Dann/Ward and Holgate seems like the options.

McCarthy
TAA / Doherty / Stevens
Salah / KDB / Mane / Barnes
Jimi / DCL / Ings

Button* / Sarr / Boly* / Lascelles

'Of course I'll go to the pub!': Boris Johnson's coronavirus plan is thrown into chaos as his own FATHER Stanley vows to ignore official advice to avoid social contact despite Britain now on coronavirus lockdown.

What sort of message does this send when our own PM’s father is ignoring advice.

The message? The PM's father is fully capable of making up his own mind like any other citizen?

At this point we have full BGW30 and full BGW31. I dont think we will start play football soon enough to have proper GW32. So probably FPL will make another full BGW(s) till we decide to play again.
Question is when (if ever) it gonna happen. I can imagine there are plans to play league games behind closed doors (only possible scenario) as soon as possible to finish this season.
Im sure that some countries may be ready to do it sooner and other will do it later as virus hit every country a bit different also because every country has diferent politic and opinion how to react and when to react etc.

We can only guess but lets say in England they decide to play football in late April or May. It can be GW35/GW36. If FPL decide to make BGWs till that moment it will be a big mess! We will have many games to fit in very few GWs. I dont think its a good strategy. We gonna have triple or quadruple Game Weeks (probably wont be played in one week time obv). Thats insane. I think that there should be no deadlines now and game should be paused till we get info when PL will resume (hope it will).

Decision about BGW30 and BGW31 is done now but FPL should start GW32 when we will know when real football gonna play those games.
(If no other games will be played this season than FPL will also end)

Ain't gonna happen

Ings > Woods so I have another 2 FT's going into the next GW so I can do Rico > AWB and have 1ft just in case I need to do something else?

I have one Transfer to burn.
Since the GW31 is void, what's the best approach here since we have absolutely no idea how games are going to be re-arranged (if so).

- Just focus on GW32 ans GW33 and don't pay any consideration to cancelled games which could becime DGW in the next few weeks?
- or still try to bring some originaly DGW31 players on the basis that those games will have to be played at some point so those will be DGWeekers.

Still have FH and WC

Anyone know where I might be able to download a a 99-00 season of Championship Manager????

Robbo > Doherty (-8)?
