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.
6:- I think theres 4
Man U
Fulham
Stockport County
Bournemouth
Just to add i’m sure he played for non league teams, are they classed as British teams ?
Although Stockport are now a non league team.
I’m not givin up answers this early to give folk a chance of answering.
But for that question Elle it was “name three” NOT “name THE three” :good:
Ok.
Best also had 1or 2 stints at Hibs!
1 – Estonia (easy for us betting ‘enthusiasts’)
What’s Finnish league called then?
I’d know it if i saw it, but I’m not spelling it
:laugh2: :good:
3 AVB ?
Seen something circulating today where you name five teams you have seen live and one that is a lie. In my case I prefer to do it with players so here it goes.
Maradona
Beckenbauer
Ronaldo (Original)
Faustino Asprilla
Eden Hazard
Ronaldo (Cristiano)
So who have I not seen then? And name your five and a lie.
Hazard
Seen Hazard, Chelsea came to play a friendly here in North Carolina a couple of years ago.
5 teams for me I have seen live and one is a lie
Man United
Stevenage
Jamaica
Nigeria
Blackburn Rovers
Parma
Hmmm, I’ll say Parma.
Jamaica
Nope to both
Man Utd. Based on it being the most obvious that you probably should have come across, but somehow haven’t. Same logic as my Mito answer, basically.
That’s correct Inittowinit
Bastard!
Beckenbauer
Nope, saw him when he was with Cosmos.
Asprilla, by some coincidental quirk.
He is the only one on that list that I watched more than once.
Well I reckon Ronaldo has also toured there with Madrid. I knew you’d seen Hazard when he did. I’ll go the fat one instead then.
I saw the fat one when we were both teenagers. He played in the u17 South American qualifiers that were held in Colombia. Brazil finished in first in six of seven u17 qualifiers over a long span, that was the only one they didn’t win, as Colombia won it. Brazil finished in fourth and didn’t go the world cup.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the only player I have not seen live.
Saw Maradona when he was with Barca in a friendly.
Beckenbauer with Cosmos.
Asprilla on the national team and about 20 times for club.
Fat Ronaldo in a u17 qualifier.
Hazard in a friendly with Chelsea.
Only leaves Cristiano. They have travelled here, but never close enough where I was willing to make the trip for only a friendly.
I also caught a little of Cruyff, vaguely remember my dad pointing him out and I was at games where Pele played (so I’ve been told) but I don’t remember it as I was like 2-3 years old.
My 5 (+1) in alphabetical order would be :
Anderlecht
Bratislava
Copenhagen
Inter Milan
Legia Warsaw
Liverpool
Since you don’t know me that well, a clue. It was against the same opposition in the same competition.
I assume you mean CL or Europa, but without knowing what year, we still up a creek. I’ll guess Liverpool.
CL is correct, Different years, same opposition.
I saw Liverpool (Gerrard got a hat trick)
Incidentally, that game was particularly unusual because the holders didn’t get an automatic place at that time and when Liverpool failed to qualify from the PL, UEFA had to make a special arrangement for them to be in Qual Round 1
They also made a special arrangement for Collina to come out of retirement to sort it all out!

And the answer is Milan. My team hasn’t as yet got past round 2 and I don’t think Inter have ever entered that early
