You could do that, but it would trigger a sizeable refund to the TV companies. Are the teams willing to send that money back (given that they probably spent it already)?

For example Sky have paid maybe £150M for 20 games in the Monday 8PM slot, and have built this up as their 'in-depth discussion night'. Telling them these games must be played instead at say 11.30am on a Sunday, or clashing with other televised fixtures, would reduce their value and Sky would be entitled to get a large percentage of their money back. You can bet that a) the contract is absolutely concrete on Sky's side for this and b) Sky won't be willing to take the financial hit.

Yea and that's a fair point, and a reason why we have the DGW - although the winter break was scrapped, the TV rights were sold and hence games had to be moved for TV etc.

But maybe it's a time for PL to stand up to SKy, after all there are numerous TV stations and prime etc only to willing to get their hands on the games, If Sky demand money back for instance - tell them they won't get games once their contract runs down. I reckon in the long term Sky need the PL, more than the PL need Sky.

KDB + DCL out for Son + Kane for a hit not looking so bad now. I do have Dias though but Coufal is not a bad bench option to come in.

I'm speechless.

Ace2007

I might just get 8 players if i'm lucky lol

8 lads togging out for me now, 7 if Wilson doesn't play

Father Hernandez

Transferred Kane in for a -4

Fitz*

Down to 6 players, 7 if you include Taylor's few minutes he stayed on for.

Chuck Noland

18 points with Mo & Wilson to go. Nightmare

CSF

8 for me aswell, if it wasn’t for Dallas coming off my bench I’d be raging. Salah (c) could still turn my arrow from small red to small green

That Matt Kearney bowstring the carp has to be the biggest bellend on "fpl Twitter"

Kiith

****in hell, this is a cluster****. Will be a miracle if the league isn't postponed at this stage.

35 points with Wilson all that i've left to play.

Jim Gazebo

Stroke of luck after losing kdb and DCL and not having son and kane.

Yeah it's becoming a farce now.

ThewhiteJesus

It'll be the lowest ever qualifying score for the cup i'd say,
thank god i never got kane or son

TaytoCrisps

I'd gained 12 points in my main league and had Kane and Dier left to play as extra players, I could have made back a lot of ground ! Or equally 4 points ...

Happy4all

All the bgw and dgw planning is probably now gone out the window

Fitz*

Fulham requested the postponement and their game against Burnley at the weekend is now also in doubt.

AdpRo

Thank god I have a playing bench......KDB / Kane out - Furlong (0) / Burke (0) in......

my son has 27 points with Salah (C) to go and Wilson, he had Lorise, Son, Alderweild and Anguissa in the cancelled game. Cup qualification at 30 right now - any chance he will qualify with a Salah haul? or probably not ... just want to manage expectations

basillarkin

Spurs Fulham gone

Benimar

I’m playing with 10. Will take a point now 🀣

Scorpion Sting

KM if you read this: feck me, you made the right decision to take a break this season!

he could very well do if salah does well as 55% of players don't have him,
but it's hard to say for sure

COH

What a nightmare. Ill field 8 players this week now with just Salah (c) to go.

Came here to post that.

Lose kane and son now but consolation with salah(vc) as long as that goes ahead.

It's a nightmare this year.. all the planning for nothing.
