Fantasy Premier League 20/21

Lot of thinking ahead. With some teams having game in hand, some to play dubbel in a gameweek and having all chips incl wild card left a strategy must be in place.

There is plan for next week. First to give me some problems is ”smal” gameweek. Free hit seems best answer.

The even more key thing to await is whether they shut the league down for a couple of weeks.
That'd totally blow any of this week 18-19 business talk!
 
I can't see how the circuit breaker would be a net benefit. If some teams can fulfil their fixtures safely, let them get on with it. I'd even go as far as suggesting that fixtures should be rearranged if necessary to try and minimise the number of teams unable to play simply because their opposition cannot put out a team.

It may be sensible to give City, Fulham and perhaps Sheffield United two weeks off, but everyone else can play in the meantime.

I think it's the total of positive tests creeping up in the league as a whole. Mirroring the country.

But yes the big issue is if you just stop for two weeks what happens if games have to be called off in a couple of weeks too. You've wasted the chance to get games played

You are right. There will be lot of late decisions before gameweek deadlines.
 
Finally I'm nr 1 hehe damn Dallas on the bench but will replace Zouma soon that didn't play!
 
Christ I have to rely on 3 Spurs players to get anywhere a decent GW. I'd take a 3-3 draw tonight, Kane hatrick, Son 3 assists :D

My entire bench - 15 points - will come in as I have Maddison, DCL and Semedo didn't play.

It's no big deal actually. Bissouma is waiting in the wings with his massive two points.
Annoyingly you know they will keep a clean sheet to join the pile that Konsa, Chilwell and Taylor have dodged in the last four.

At least I have Trent too.
 
A few tweets coming out that tottenham game is off.

Dammit. What a farce.
3.20 before kick off. A joke.
 
FFS. What a joke of a game week. No idea what to do now and what's happening with the games at the weekend or when any of these will be rescheduled.
 
Christ this is mental. Looks like a few sources (including the Athletic and the Independent) reporting it now.
 
Massive red arrow here, clusterf*ck of a gameweek really.
 
And Spurs vs Fulham has been postponed. 5 of my 11 have had games postponed.

If the Spurs match is called off, I will most likely lose my head to head match against a team that captained Auba, has Greenwood Saka Jimenez AWB... this is a mess. At least I got Salah captain to try make a 15 point gap now that I lost Dier Son and Kane :(
 
Needed that! 20 from 7 with only Salah (c), a doubtful Wilson and a rubbish Lewis left. That Spurs game would have absolutely destroyed me.

.
 
Could me worse - my mate has Kane (C) and Son (V). So no captain for him this week...
 
OH feck OFF. Was one point off top in my paid league and fecking lucky cnut top of the league blags a full 11 of players scoring points while for me James and Zouma didn't play, Kane and Son now out AND DCL and Dias gane cancelled. fecking rotten luck. Probably gonna miss out on Manager of the month too now which pays out the stake to enter the competition. FFS.
 
I wouldn’t worry too much about owning Spurs and to a lesser extent City players yet. . Fixtures could well be rearranged in a way that is highly beneficial around GW18 and GW19. Posted this on Twitter:



It’s more problematic if you took hits to get them in. I took -8 this week for Son and Kane.

Putting both captaincy armbands in the same fixture is always a slight risk, especially at this time of year with winter weather, but even more so now. Just don’t do it.
 
Been a cracking week. Ditched Fernandes and Neto to squeeze in Salah ahead of the WBA game. And now my 6 Spurs and City players blank.

It'd be superb if the games are put in weeks 18 & 19. But I wonder if the last thing they'd want to do is risk jamming the Jan schedule up even more.

I hope there's some sort of steer on any called off games or re-arranged games before Friday's deadline.

Have 2 injured defenders and if Chelsea v City is off I'll need a keeper.
 
So what is everyone doing with their City players for GW17?

Normally I wouldn't take the risk and just transfer them out, but at the same time I have an eye in GW 18 and in 2 minds about getting rid of them.
