Fantasy Football (has been suspended!) Update
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (perhaps advisable right now) you will be aware that the Premier League have suspended all fixtures until (at least) April 4th. In essence this means that we will miss GW’s 30 & 31 and resume in GW32. Whether the 32 target actually happens is a different matter but for now that is what we are being told to work towards. We just wanted to make you aware of a few key things…
FPL have released the following on Twitter;
What does the #PL postponement mean for #FPL 👇
⬛ All GW30 and GW31 fixtures are postponed and the intention is for the PL to return for GW32 on 4 April, subject to medical advice

To pick the bones out of that, essentially what it all means is;
- GW’s 30 & 31 will still happen, albeit in a ghost fashion.
- You’ll get zero points awarded (unless you somehow still take a hit!).
- Any moves you make (be that transfers, hits, chips) will still count and be there whenever (if) we resume.
- They’ve waffled on about the FPL Cup and how it all affects H2H leagues but who really cares!
We appreciate that the above is short ‘n sweet but that is all you need to know in a nutshell. We shall update this accordingly as and when we know more.
Please feel free to continue to chat amongst yourselves as usual and add any relevant info in the comments if you see / hear anything pertinent to the above.
I wonder if all this working from home – people having their own private office, however loose that concept may be – is making some feel like a private detective in a noir film.
Arriving at the office just before lunch. Stubbled chin. Riffling through the post then throwing it down. Glamorous female walks in.
Pretending old Mrs McGillicuddy next door is the glamorous Ava Gardiner style woman in question – or might have been… 70 odd years ago, when Chandler was writing! I’ve got to the ‘going through the motions’ stage of proceedings. But occasionally I get a message from people to bring me back to reality. Hope all is well!
It’s just at those going through the motions stages – routine divorce cases, a bit of snooping – that the big chance just drops into your lap. Thing is, it didn’t seem that way at the time…
“Dear mister! Someone’s tryin’ to kill me, I swear!” or is it the more suave option of “I see you’ve got your gun at the ready sir, I can assure you I pose no danger, not an immediate one at least..”
Your photo is semi-noirish, VanDan, all shadow and lurking menace. Like you’ve stepped out of The Big Combo.
Double check your euromillions ticket GP! :laugh2:
Padster,
Exactly the area I live in!
Honestly mate, I’ve had so many friends contact me about this. We only use the same numbers (kids birthdays etc.) every week and we play online so I’d know about it by now if it was me. And sadly, we never play just a random line here and there
Hasn’t stopped me checking and thinking though!
Might be able to buy Jack Grealish, or John Stones if you’re lucky, with that money and have him serve you at your own house, vacuum, cook a bit of baked banana, and stuff!
Something tells me Jack may be housebound for a while!

I don’t think that particularly changes anything does it?
I thought that was already the case, everything was already suspended, is this the worst April Fools ever?
It’s a more serious suspension.
Maybe 19/20 will be picked up in 21/22. Or be for ever lost, like an acid casualty. Or, to be different, why not play it out at the end of 20/21 and then retrospectively amend what happened in that season.
I just wanted to say hello and I miss overthinking my fantasy team with the rest of y’all. Stay safe where ever you are and hope we all get back to this soon.
:manic:
I like the way my side adds an element of the eternal – or a warning – to the sensible messages either side:
Indeed stay safe all. I wish you all well and hope we can pick up FPL at some point.
In the futile hope we may see some football some when I’m using my free transfers. If we do get games I suspect they will be crammed in and there will be lots of rotation, so will aim for 15 starters in a kind of bench boost like team. Any advice on the below, 1.2ITB. Double Wolves attach may be a risk. A few options below.
1) Downgrade defenders and Jimenez to Vardy
2) Spred the money, upgrade Button and Hayden
3) Jota to Abraham
4) A different approach?
Stone Frog,
You could do like I did and switch your Leicester cover in defence to Man Utd?
I did Pereira to AWB. If the season gets going, United have some favourable games.
Hey guys!
I don’t have much to say beside that I cannot wait for things to get better and back to normal, eventually.
I hope you are all well and safe!
Take care!
Cheers Tornado :good:
Hope you are safe and healthy mate.
Thanks GP!
