Most teams are still heavy on Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea, and maybe even Brighton players, postponing the London games on Sunday only will be the absolute worst-case scenario. With my team, i'll only have 6 players available and will have to field Danny-fucking-Ward at Spurs, lol. I'll definitely have to burn my wildcard a week or two earlier than desired.

So player wont get any points if the game is postponed? dang I have like 5 players from Liverpool and Chelsea altogether, probably 4 on the field if I decided to bench one from the midfield but is it worth to use the wild card with 4-5 players not getting any points or should I wait for it to be atleast 6 though? Still pretty clueless on when is the best time to use it

💥SCOOP: Foreign heads of state and their spouses heading to London for the state funeral for Queen Elizabeth II have been asked to arrive in the U.K. on commercial flights and banned from using helicopters to get around.

World leaders have also been told they cannot use their own state cars to attend the funeral at Westminster Abbey on September 19 — and will instead be bussed in en masse from a site in west London, according to documents obtained by POLITICO revealing strict protocol rules.

I really hope GW8 goes as planned without postponements...though things will get crazy in London around Sunday-Monday.

I already have an idea of what I want for the next game week too, but I might just project it toward Game Week 9, incase we don't get another action next weekend

So in this case, its either to predict which player will get to rest on the bench and which will be playing on the field as rotation might be coming soon as there is no points this week. Its kinda like hit and miss at this point isnt it as the players that we thought might be sitting on the bench could be playing on the next GW but most players could be playing though as they get to rest due to the unfortunate event

I've still got most of my options as per wide cards, triple and bench boost in place but, over the week after a very bad game week through GW3-GW6, of which most of it was due to maintaining my team out of indecision and procrastination, I finally get to make the changes and sacrifices 12points to get the players I needed in my team and was ready to watch them role before tragedy struck in the Queens death. Unfortunate indeed and as we pay our last respect in a boring week, FPL have given me another 1 free transfer and that could have been 4points saved. Perhaps another in the coming week and my 12points would just be gone for nothing.
Perhaps the free transfers might prove useful in future game weeks, to get Rodrygo when his injury free Perhaps.

Why give up 12 points when you still have a Wildcard, buddy? I believe I used mine in GW2 when I learned that four of my players had been benched and could only receive 20 minutes of playing time each game week. I got rid of them, but it was still insufficient, so I went as far as spending an additional 8 points to acquire a super team, and the outcome has been encouraging thus far.

You should be aware that Rodrigo will likely be sidelined until October due to a shoulder injury.

Wtf! My top pick, GK Pickford, won't be available until October. Meh.

Why didn't you use freehit chip after the news of postponement and FPL noticed were known? All chips used are given back this week as per their notice. Meaning you use free hit, remove negative points, and then get free hit back

Oh boy! There is a lot I still don't know of this game!! Of course I am hearing this for the first time!!!
Is it still available? So I could navigate the app a little to see if I could find it.
This is where experience talks a toll of 12points on me, lol...

This hasn't happened before in the FPL, so know one could have known, but it was all stated in the updated post from FPL which was shared here
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.60908144 and that happens to be another reason to not get into transfer very early into the week and it could easily have been avoided. I made only one transfer very early into the week too, but I kept the other one for an emergency purpose like a Thursday/Friday knock ruling a player out of the game round.

I already have an idea of what I want for the next game week too, but I might just project it toward Game Week 9, incase we don't get another action next weekend, I'm sure that make the use of wild card more probable towards gameweek 13, since I can leave just 5 changes instead of the complete team overhaul.

Of course that means you would not receive that additional free transfer so maybe it wouldn't actually help you in the long run.

I guess that's another option to it but, with the uncertainty of my changes, the free hit would have been a better choice as 12points at hand and having effect my changes would have meant more than have expectations in uncertainties.

Cool. I wasn't sure I had time to put in my changes this week, such a busy weekend with almost no time to do anything other than post on forum here while travelling.

Things for me to do on next change:
- FORMATION (yeah, dumb, I stuck with what I had)
- Free Chip (delayed using it and now it's refreshed, maybe I use this early on instead).

I see that the official FPL site has updated its info, GW7 fixtures are off as mentioned above but the ~~deadline remains the same~~. Those who have activated their WC this week or have two FTs might want to look forward to GW9, i personally have doubts GW8 will go ahead as planned but that's to be confirmed i guess.

Prepare for no Prem League football until after the international break, and that is early October... Undecided

Postponed fixtures will be allocated to another date. Points scored in these fixtures will apply to the Gameweek in which the fixtures are played and not to GW7

🔘 Gameweek 7 will roll over with no points scored

🔘 Triple Captain, Bench Boost & Free Hit Chips activated for GW7 will be reinstated. Wildcards will roll into the next Gameweek

Somebody wrote that football doesn't stop in this situation unless FA decides to stop it, some other guy on twitter wrote we will not have PL until after international break. At this point it is speculation, we will find out about it soon enough.

Problem is that fixture congestion is already really high cause of World Cup and there is no space to reschedule these matches.

I am sure Chelsea and Liverpool would not mind a couple of weeks break to consolidate.

The FA have decided to postpone this round of fixtures "As a mark of respect to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, this weekend’s Premier League match round will be postponed.", but look at the statement it's likely that next week fixtures will hold accordingly, or at the very most will be played at a different time so it doesn't coincide with the queen's burial.

https://twitter.com/premierleague/status/1568185317169188864

EDIT: That'd surely mar my plans at large, for the next game week, initially planned to be rid of Liverpool players ahead of the Chelsea after they're done playing Wolverhampton this weekend, but with two Brighton players on my squad, I have to settle for Salah and/or Arnold still, while being getting rid of Trossard and/or Grob, I could settle for just one from each Liverpool and Brighton if there's any other of my bench players that is likely to have better fixtures with Andreas Pereira also playing against Neco Williams for next week, I might just settle for Andreas.

What else, your player did not play, 0 points for you.

If I knew about that on time I would maybe prioritise Brighton transfers but it isn't that bad. At least Brighton has cheep players ao we can bench them.

What if we get a postponement of all games which will make even bigger problems for our teams. I had 2 more game weeks to prepare for fixture swing and now I have no way to do so. I just hope games go on as planned, Brighton players not playing I can cover, but loosing 2 game weeks would give me a huge headache going forward.

I mean it was really an unfortunate thing though so there is really nothing to do about it even if the officials decided to postpone it. So far I dont think that there is an official announcement regarding GW being postponed yet due to this right but we probably wont get anything this weekend but its still possible to have them back next week though

It is with regret that our upcoming #PL match against @CPFC has been postponed due to the planned industrial action on the rail network.

The ultimate plan was to use my first wildcard in GW15 followed by a bench boost in GW16 and then the World Cup free transfers "thing" in GW17.

Guess i have to move to plan B and wildcard in GW8 which is not ideal given the fixtures swing after the intl. break in GW9...and i thought this year's going to be a bit less hectic, i guess not. Gl to those who already used their first WC... Cheesy

There is probably an even bigger disruption to the entire timeline now, with the passing of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II in the early afternoon of today, It's pretty much likely that all London games, that's at the very least if not the entire 1st-4th division leagues of the country will be postponed for this weekend, and there is also a chance of that happening next week too since the funeral is supposedly a 12-days ceremony. That'd leave us with not further activities at least until after the international break Sad

I am in that group Sad

had to see what to do over this weekend, not sure what to do with Salah TBH, to keep him, or change him and put the bench up (my bench is set to zero points, not sure how the bench points are counted in, if there is a way?)

looking at stats, not sure about Mitrovic either, he is scoring regularly, but hoovering around 5-6 points, without goals he is a certain miss in the team (I am looking at 5 points per player as an average limit)

Your bench is used when your first selection of players doesn't play in the game. Game auto subtitues them in order you have arranged them on bench, if formations allow it. You can't play without attacker or with less then 3 defenders/midfilders.

It is arguably less important to have strong bench this season since we have 5 substitutes rule. Even if our player doesn't start he will probably come into the game later on. That being said there will be last minute injuries/covid and than your bench is the only thing that can save your GW.

Really unfortunate for that Brighton postponement. That will be a though GW for me to navigate with 2 Brighton players in the team.

Getting a bit noxious about whole Chelsea situation...I even made an early transfer for Sterling since Chelsea has so good fixtures going forward. We shall see what will happen but I still think Chelsea will do good in those easy games. James & Sterling are without doubt best Chelsea players so I expect them to play on their position no matter who the manager is.

I'm keeping James. He's in the top 3 best RB in the league next to TAA and Cancelo. Hard to find another RB from the top 6 who has as much impact as those three. However, I will get rid of Koulibaly, that was such a dumb transfer from my part.

Quote from: Harkorede on September 07, 2022, 11:46:38 AM

I think there are certain players you can stick with, if you want them as you'd expect them to make the first squad regardless of the manager that club hires, I'm thinking of having Aubameyang, I just want to be sure he's fit enough before deciding, but I'm sure he'd become very valuable.

isn't Auba like the only centre forward they have on the team? i know they have some guy called Broja who plays as cf, but honestly who tf is this guy? lol i would keep Auba

Quote from: arallmuus on September 07, 2022, 03:58:29 PM

Just a week huh, gotta make the best use out of it. Kinda interesting

the free hit is such a risky one. You might be stuck with a brand new team for one GW who barely gets any points, or you use the free hit right when the managers decide to bench all those premiums you got with your free hit. Then again, that same team could break 100 pts in that GW, so Cheesy

High risk, high reward
