Remarkable. However, last season he had 20 goals in 14 games.

Thoughts on Dubravka (3.9) now that pope is long term gone?

Wonder what kind of effort we’ll see from the Sheffield United players now they have a new manager.

Liverpool may not fill their boots, as assumed, but you’d still expect it.

Wow. Grand I was only awake but from the small article I read it definitely looked like he was gone and already replaced by Wilder.

This isn't a question about FPL but I suspect that there is a cross-over between people who play that and those who play in Last Man Standing competitions.

I run a LMS with some friends. There are are two different games in parallel right now. Unfortunately in both games someone picked Bournemouth this weekend. We do have a rule for this scenario, that was created a few years ago but hasn't need to be used before - namely that if the match is not replayed or resumed before the next game week that it counts the same as Bournemouth not winning. One of the two players who faces elimination is annoyed about this and has threatened to quit playing entirely. (That's neither here nor there - the rules are the rules. I just include this detail to show that the scenario has left a bad taste in the mouth for some people).

Anyway the reason I am posting is I am wondering how other LMS competitions are dealing with this scenario. There doesn't appear to be an easy answer. The only alternative I can think of, for future scenarios like this, is that the people get a bye into the next round. Although if you're team were losing at the time then you'd be getting quite lucky. Probably better than the alternative. What do people reckon?

There's 2 I am in.

1 is settling people that picked Bournemouth as through to the next round and can't be picked again. Nobody has Luton picked.

The other competition state the above within the rules, but have yet to apply their rule as I have picked Bournemouth and I'm showing as eliminated at the moment.

Why does boards not allow links from Twitter now ?

Manually change the "x" to "twitter" instead.

I think the game will be rearranged for a date later in the calendar that will be a DGW for both teams and the FPL points scored on Saturday will be wiped from the game and autosubs will come in for Luton and Bournemouth players.

Can’t see logic in any other decision and I’m assuming that’s what most people think will happen.

I'm running a small LMS game and I don't have a rule in place for this; if the game is played before the weekend, the result will stand but if it's postponed until later, I'll probably get anyone who picked Bournemouth to pick two teams in the next gameweek

I am in one where anyone who had Bournemouth goes to the team next alphabetically. Good news for those who had Arsenal/Villa left, not so for Brentford.

One I'm in has a specific rule. Those on Bournemouth advance to the next round but must pick two teams to win next week and can no longer pick Bournemouth. Seems very fair to me

It’s mad across the board how much people’s strongly held views around fairness tend to depend on who is in their FPL team

Is there a Fpl team ran by AI? Curious to know how it’s doing

I was looking for info on why Jose Sa missed the weekend, a shoulder injury apparently, separate to the injury which made him miss the couple of games before that. But a lot of the fans seems to think its an injury to make sure he gets to January and a big money transfer to the Saudi league.

They also reckon Wolves will buy a goalie in January

Zero change for me points wise.... Lascelles first sub

Balls. That costs me big.

I'm losing 18pts here, and yes as it affects me I'm biased and I think this is a terrible decision.

Points awarded for 59 or 65 mins , goals scored, game plated until it stopped and multiple days after the deadline they remove points they already put in the board

It dose not affect anyone in any great way, if you don't have players from this game, so why punish the people that brought in players like Solanke, and then cancel points after there own deadline, with their exceptional circumstances clause.

They don't reverse cards rescinded, goals, assists, awarded to other players after deadlines pass etc.

You only lose 18 points if you don’t have any subs or VC.

Look I understand their logic, but

what about red cards rescinded, goals and assists that are relooked at and changed after the deadline...FLP do not update them after deadline has passed.

I'm sure Kane had a few claimed goals in the past removed?

What would happen in this hypothetical situation....and I know some of these are unlikely with 25man squads these days....

A game from last week, that was fully completed and past FLP deadline, is ordered to be voided and replayed due to ineligible player, or Klopp's not happy with VAR.

What if the game is not replayed but awarded to one team 3-0 (is that still a rule?), due to similar issues?

What happen if they played the remaining 30mins of the game in 3 weeks time? 1 game less for the season, or 30mins less for the season.

What would they have done if no decision taken until weekend and new GW started.
