I think we are heading towards stopping all major sports leagues in Europe for few months. <...>

Totally.

Now my question is: if the PL is suspended indefinitely in the upcoming days, what will happen to our pool?

I really doubt they will cancel the season altogether. The worst that will likely happen is they'll just reschedule the games. Personally I think it's overkill. They could play games behind closed doors but unless everyone in the country is going to stay at home then the disease is still going to spread and it'll end up doing ridiculous damage to the economy as it already has to bitcoin and the stock market. It's probably not much more of a threat than the flu to a fit and young professional athlete anyway. If they do cancel the season though the best thing to do would just be to pay out the winners as the table is now.

I guess that mostly depends on what happens with PL. If they just have a break no matter how long and than continue with the season I see no reason to do anything with our pool.

In case this season of PL is finished than we have to make a decision. I hope it will not come to that but there was some talks in Germany already to finish the season and just award European places as per current ranking. Serie A is talking about possibility of some playoff.

If worst happens we can just scratch this season and use the money as entry fee for next season or pay out the rewards as per current ranking. I have a feeling something between those 2 options would be fair option but that complicates things.

Half way thru the season, sure... We can scratch this year's pool. But with over a third into it? Don't think so... And I'm not just saying that cos I'm leading the pool. It's obviously unfair.

But ok... I'll agree to scratch the year's pool only if the FA declares no winning club and scratches the season's EPL.

That to me would be fair.

So all Premier League games have been suspended until April:

It's very likley that tomorrow (or saturday morning) the FA will release an statement about the PL getting postponed. There's a lot of money involved in the PL so i'm sure some top dogs won't be happy about their decision. Btw, imagine if the FA decides to void this season Roll Eyes

The games will just be rescheduled so the money will still be coming in, just delayed. Teams might lose a lot in ticket revenues if they decide to play in empty stadiums though.

Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta has tested positive for the Corona virus ¹, and the premier league FA are said to have planned an emergency meeting ahead of this weekend's fixtures, after previously stating that matches are to hold as planned ². The most likely outcome could be a suspension, perhaps an indefinite one.

You're making sense in regards to the first paragraph of your post as we have like 9 games more to go (that's if I'm not mistaking my count in regards to the played matches) although I'm quite aware some clubs are yet to play their outstanding matches which was rescheduled. Out of the 9 games to be played, you can't rule out the chances of some participants having a shot at winning consolation prizes therefore anybody suggesting of the pool getting stopped won't be the idea solution to the problem.

We just have to wait for all matches to be played, the only time we can stop the pool is if the premier league comes out with an announcement of stopping the season at this current state without playing the remaining 9 matches.

Your both options are good and acceptable but first of all we have to wait for official announcement about this because its more important now Japan is also considering to cancel Olympic and Euro cup is also under threat so its not good for sports lovers.

Just to make it clear, above post is just loud thinking on my part. Hilarius is the one in charge and it will be his word in the end. I wanted to put something like this in the original post but my young one came calling and I just pressed post before being dragged away from the computer

Arsenal is in quarantine, probably they will not play his match. I guess until Saturday, someone of the other player from the league will be positive to the virus and it will be suspended.
Idk why the problem is that everything is suspended on two weeks how long the incubation is and the virus will be isolated. sooner or later awaits all of us, two weeks quarantine.

I see that few Leicester players are in quarantine too. I think it would be stupid to continue competition now. I think nothing will happen to our pool, we will be able to continue playing when competition will resume.
Seems that Euro 2020 will not happen this year, as L'Equipe reported...

Serie A finally confirmed it a few hours ago: https://twitter.com/SerieA/status/1237666616315449345

La Liga could be next. There's going to be a reunion tomorrow to determine what the next course of action is going to be.
I also posted a couple of articles regarding the Europa League/Champions League and coronavirus here and here.
Premier League will most likely follow the rest of the leagues very soon.

Literally every major sporting event is getting postponed/suspended in Europe. Crazy stuff.

I think we are heading towards stopping all major sports leagues in Europe for few months. It's radical, but probably best decision in such situation. Because things which are going on now is ridiculous - football without fans isn't football. And games without spectators doesn't makes sense when thousands of fans still gather outside stadium like in Valencia yesterday.
And now Italian clubs will have to play in Champions league in other country and without playing in Serie A games. Is it fair? I don't think so. I don't even talk about travelling restrictions and etc
Probably such decision will force to move EURO 2020 to next year, but I don't see other way if Coronavirus will continue to spread so fast.

This corona thing is effecting in every area. So sad to see it and I hope all of us will be safe.

I was just curious to see the result of City vs Arsenal match so that I can have it in my favor and get some points. I did not have any interest to watch it since we have Liverpool match in CL LOL

But do you guys think it's gonna be everywhere after a couple of months? Should we start prepping?

As I understand, completely Italy is on quarantine, not only Serie A. this is pretty serious.
I find somewhere that is in UEFA the option of postponing all national competitions, UCL and EL also until April. a major problem with the easy spread of Corona. Euro 2020 it will be for sure cancelled for this year.

That's the problem with fullbacks in general. They are either/or, all of them - even the elite ones.
Lahm was probably the only complete full back in the game.

It's also a matter of playing style - Klopp uses TAA practically as a playmaker from a wide area. Solskjaer uses Bissaka to stay wide and occasionally overlap.

Poor fullbacks, they never really know how to please everyone but for me,,, yeah Aaron Wan Bissaka is the perfect fullback, but only in the perfect back 4 system that does not need to attack or provide creative outlets. Bissaka is still just doing tackling and at most he crosses in he does not attack with the ball.

Uh oh, that's how it starts, guys. First, games postponed because of Coronavirus, then, games being played behind closed doors, and ultimately, the whole thing gets suspended Undecided

I think what the FA is gonna do is wait until Liverpool are crowned champions (could happen next week if they win their next two games) and then evaluate whether the rest of the season gets postponed (and resume in the summer) or suspended.
