    If your other players do well you week may not be too bad. It seems plenty are playing with less than 10 this week. Some teams would be luck to put out a 5 a side team this week.

    24 from 5 with 5 left to play (Guaita being benched left me without a keeper). Salah, Trent, Jota, James and Alonso left to go. Hopefully they all haul for me.

    I didn't realise how important Foden's points from yesterday would be to me.

    10, with Salah (c) (like everyone else), Tielemans, James, Lukaku and outside chance of Tsimskas to play. Shocker.

    Think Martinelli is a live option now as a cheap midfielder though.

    8 points with Salah(C), TAA, Gray and James to go.

    I'll be going out of the cup too as my opponent has the same 4 players + rudiger and a 6 point lead

    No players tonight after that disaster.

    Safety score is 19.... I'm on 11... 7k up to 13k OR. Having any players tonight was huge.

    Just the same as everyone left tomorrow night now.

    37(-4) from 7. Salah, TAA and Rudi hopefully to go.

    If either of Son or Reguillion manage to play that'll give me 11. Doubtful.

    down to 40k OR.

    I'm on 11. Another bad week. James, TAA, Alonso, Jota and Salah (c) to come hopefully. Looks like I'm out of the cup too as my opponent has a 16 point lead and has 3 of my players. I'll need Jota and TAA to rack up a silly score just to have a chance.

    Safety score is 19. Uh oh

    23 with 5 players to go, Watkins doing all the heavy lifting with 12 points of that, blanks all around the place otherwise.

    Its a really terrible week, the top 10k are currently averaging 19 points.

    On 14 with Salah(c) , Jota, TAA, James & Jorginho to go.

    Cup opponents team is stacked with all the right City players this week so that’s me out of the cup most likely. Only hope is if Jorginho can get a monster score tomorrow but I’m not confident

    Apparently both Spurs and Leicester asked for it to be postponed but the request was rejected. It looks like it's going ahead.

    10 points from 3.

    Salah (TC), Mané, Trent, Maddison, Rudiger and Reguilon to (hopefully) go tonight.

    Bench is 0, 0, 0 and 0.

    I was very tempted to hold on to Vardy this week because he was well rested and going up against a Spurs team that would be missing players and probably not trained much together. I'm so glad I transferred him out for Watkins. Probably the only one of my last few transfers to go right.

    Van Dijk out with Covid. Another 1st teamer with Covid too.

    *Rumours*

    Curtin Jones *rumoured to be the other first teamer.

    Feels like a bit of a shít show now.

    Purely from an FPL perspective, throws everything completely out the window and it's literally a game of luck as to who even plays.

    I have not seen anything about VVD & Jones testing positive for COVID anyways.


    For what it's worth, Liverpool are at 100% double vaccination rate for all players & staff.

    Given the way things are and how late games are getting postponed, you can only plan 5 minutes before the deadline.

    Maybe it's more me hoping that VVD is not out but he has been rested in midweek games a few times this season while the fixtures have been congested.

    Should pull the weekend and Carabao QFs at a minimum.


    Give it 10 days to Stephens Day and re-assess.


    Personally, I'd stop till FA Cup weekend.

    Would you be postponing GW17 -> GW22 completely or just moving the fixtures down the road?

    It's important for a FPL pov. I wouldn't have bought Bowen for his GW17-GW22 fixtures, not his GW23-GW27 fixtures for example.

    I’d say they’ll handle it similar to when the first lockdown happened last year, you’ll be able to use free transfers during the pause (if it is paused that is) and then when it re-opens they’ll probably hand everyone unlimited transfers.

    This has turned into a game of luck now the last 2 GW's.

    Playing someone in the cup, about 5 million OR above me and I will be beaten by a few points it looks like.

    Taking hits now for transfers is hurting more when your transfer in doesn't even get a chance to get onto the field with games postponed.

    Lads here said it last year, the fun is gone when this **** happens!

    An increasing number of Premier League clubs would support suspending games until the weekend of Jan 8-9, when FA Cup third-round ties are due to take place in an attempt to deal with the growing coronavirus crisis.
