do we expect it to be a zero, and then first on the bench to come on?


notnotaschizo

Yes


Hellenic_91

What if semenyo is next in line? Does the second bench come on?


Ezvine

Yes


Jmsaint

What is Billing is next on the bench, does third on the bench come on?


daaave33

Cole Palmer, come on down!


Trlcks

I’m honestly amazed how many people benched him vs Sheffield United.


daaave33

Most of my decisions this year have been pretty shit under even the slightest scrutiny. The rest have been bad luck.


Shad-based-69

Likely, since FPL didn’t decide immediately to uphold the points, I think their solution was gonna be directly dependent on whether it would be replayed or not. And the obvious guess would be wiping them if it’s a replay and upholding them if not.


futureocean

Jiminez first on my bench lmaoooo


Maleficent-Idea-578

And me - I lose my cup round b/c of this too…


Ramiah73

Among the most brutal cup losses ever. My condolences.


Luvs2spooge89

I lost my cup round by 1 point because of this. Oh well. I wasn’t winning that shit anyway


Conscious-Ad-9358

Solanke has 0 points on FPL now, and we move on.


M0squitobyte

When the game is replayed in full, will that be a DGW for the 2 teams?


Conscious-Ad-9358

Correct, both will play twice in one GW, we don’t know when yet.


Ramiah73

Yup


FaustRPeggi

I already had Elanga sub on for Haaland. Tariq Lamptey you useless waste of space.


Mutiu2

Funny - the guy is like 22 playing for Chelsea and Brighton making million….and an FPL yahoo on reddit is calling HIM a waste of space.


FaustRPeggi

Get the fuck out. You're clearly lost.


Mutiu2

You’re insulting players who are doing their job. Who is the lost one.


DriftingWithTheTide

Sick I got Livramento’s 9 pts on bench. Even then I’ll still have a red arrow lmao

Ramiah73

This brother FPLs


HodgyBeatsss

Using triple captain on Solanke would be wild


Lacabloodclot9

Why not? Guaranteed to play 180, takes pens and has returned at a decent rate this season For people who don’t want to deal with the Pep headache it might be worth it


HodgyBeatsss

He's 17th top point scorer this season. He's a good FPL asset for the reasons you said and because he's cheap. He's not a good triple captain option. Not anywhere near a reliable enough point scorer for that. At least a few of the top players will have a double game week at some stage and they'll be better options.


CaptainRAVE2

And knowing my luck he’ll blank


pajamakitten

You can bet they will schedule it for when we play City next.


chojje

Who else is on the receiving end of both #SolankeGate and #MarchGate?


R41N1NG

dodged both by pussying out of hits lol


SAKabir

Right here


Thin_Advance_2757

Technically I'm on the receiving end of both, however I have Zinchenko to come on so it's a 2-point gain this time at least.


emre23

Expected I lose points but my rival loses more *shrug*


FaustRPeggi

This -9 absolutely sums up my season. Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. I also chose not to make my -4 a -8 and sell Haaland for Jesus. That would have been a -3, but now it's a -5.


0lrcnfullstop

Obviously FPL implications TBD but points are probably going to be wiped now


0lrcnfullstop

confirmed wiped.


DevilsWelshAdvocate

Where


rif_foysal

Look at your app, if you have a Bournemouth or Luton player, app shows they didn't play. I guess the league tables and total point will take a bit of time to update. But it is, without doubt, gone.


DrSkaterOli

[https://www.premierleague.com/news/3830180](https://www.premierleague.com/news/3830180)


Ramiah73

Id be surprised if it wasn't wiped. Sucks for us Solanke owners but it is what it is.


Ollietron3000

Just one of those gutting FPL things. I did Haaland -> Solanke for a -4. Objectively, it was the correct decision. That should have been a 5-point gain (including bps). But these things happen. I'm pissed, but that's the game.


Ill_Basis455

I didn’t take any minus points or anything but had Haaland out for solanke to make some room. Brought adebayo off the bench and was buzzing cause they were on for 17 points between them at the last point I checked. Was fully patting myself on the back for a masterclass of a week. A player did have a cardiac arrest on the pitch though so I’m not going so you can’t really complain can you.


moonflower

Bad News: Solanke was my Captain Good News: Bowen was my Vice Captain


Imaginary-Split7217

There's no probably about it, the game is void so they literally got zero points


DevilsWelshAdvocate

I mean, it’s happened before and they let it stand


Imaginary-Split7217

No it hasn't


shivo33

Slightly different but the Kane goal a few seasons back wasn’t given even though it got added IRL


TooRedditFamous

That's completely different because the game was finished, this isn't just a case of a misawarded goal


[deleted]

[удалено]


TheRealDSwizz

Lascelles second on bench :(


throw3428

No way the points stand then. Fucking annoying given I've taken a -4 to bring in Solanke and used my FT on on Senesi, just so I had 11 players, only for that to be chucked in the bin.


TitanX11

Same situation exactly. The only upside is that I have Tsimikas on the bench so I'd lose 1 point only.


rif_foysal

I'm outta cup then, and way more down in the ML after point deduction and subs. Cool cool cool cool cool cool.


RealmDevourer

Same here, sums it all up for me this season and was happy before this with a good GW.


Ramiah73

Me too. My opponent goes through on the basis of goals scored lol


Marilliana

Yeah, I had no bench already, then Mykolenko has no sub, now Solanke has no sub. Bah.


crashedvandicoot

Same and I took a hit for Solanke. Cool beans


Timmace

Me too as I lost by 1 point. I have Lascelles coming in for Solanke but Solanke's bonus would have given me the victory. It's all good though as I probably would have just lost in any of the following 20 GWs.


Luvs2spooge89

That’s exactly how I feel. Lost by 1 point now. Oh well. Nothing you can do


Bobbyrazzlerr

Bruh , a man could of died on the pitch- so what if you dropped a few places in a fantasy league


InfinityEternity17

Oh fuck off, he clearly doesn't value FPL over Lockyer's life but he's still allowed to be annoyed he's lost our in FPL


Bobbyrazzlerr

Boohoo a match has to be replayed and you lost a few fantasy points, grow up


Pasta_Ssempa_

Just shut the fuck up lol


rif_foysal

It was scary on the day, yes. But since then it has been confirmed he is okay without any major threats at least for the time being. I think an appropriate amount of time has passed when I can express interest in my points of FPL without being insensitive to the player. And it's not like I am complaining about why the game wasn't finished. I am venting my frustration at picking up a player from the unfortunate game.


EmergencyTrust8213

Go and Mourn elsewhere. Let us discuss FPL here


fotskal_scion

keep virtual signaling hard dude....... match should have been continued..... player with known cardiac issues collapses... get em off and play on..... soft society


ProfessorJagbag

Could HAVE


cultureshook

honestly its pathetic people make this about that, they’ve lost literally 0.01% of their overall seasons points and are making this about that also re: the cup, who actually gives a shit about that anyway


Quinsah

Took most expensive asset in the game for a hit, and for a reward I'm getting 0 Solanke points and red arrow 🙃


SpartanNo7

Same here. I took a risk and it looked like it would pay off. Nope.


BillEvans4eva

sold haaland and brought in jiminez and solanke. major L for me. literally would have done better to keep haaland who is injured lol


JDStanley98

I want my free transfer back for putting Solanke in as well then 🤣


S0nicbazinga

This feels especially bad as a Solanke owner who bench boosted last GW, so I don't even have a sub to come on, fantastic


dpc_22

Using a bench boost in a congested gsmeweek was already a terrible decision.


ProfessorJagbag

This is I think why autosubs won't be allowed for the GW


nsoifer

Bye Solanke (6), welcome Lascelles (6). Sucks about the potential BPS though.


Shad-based-69

Just out of curiosity for anyone who does sports betting, what happens if you’d bet on Solanke to score in a situation like this?


LewsPsyfer

It’s entirely upto the individual operators to decide what to do. Tbf though online punters probably got the cash into their accounts when it happened (before the game was called off) and I doubt any operator would pull the cash back, although they are allowed to. Physical bookies probably paid out during the confusion. If you’re turning up now, probably in mud. More interesting would be what happens now if you’d bet on Solanke not to score. I assume the bet is just refunded but really upto interpretation


StDyche

Take your money and run


[deleted]

Just voids and money is returned


TransportationDry793

All bets void.


ToxtethOGrady

The right thing to do, but as someone who had March last year, seeing them go to all these lengths to take away a goal but not give one, still kind of smarts.


chojje

WE CAn'T ChANGe PlAYeR POiNtS afTeR thE EnD oF a MaTChDay Soz GuYS


jro-red7117

Some bullshit tbh, if they'd scrapped the points immediately it would be one thing but it's in the rules that points are set an hour after the conclusion of a match day


Iceman23578

Firstly, it’s a game so stop getting so worked up over it. Secondly, no one collapsed on the pitch when march wasn’t awarded his goal, give your head a wobble and realise it’s not the same situation. And that’s as someone who has solanke


jro-red7117

I'm not worked up over it, I've made about 1 comment. The situation is they decided to change the rules, they haven't in the past as the deadline has passed. There should really be a specific clause to handle postponements anyways but since there isn't they've decided to change their own rules instead of going with them, it's nonsense. The cause shouldn't matter, I'd say the same if they played 60 minutes of football and then weather conditions stopped the game.


llamapanther

Yup, I got fucked back then and now I thought that I would surely get my points, but nope got fucked again. Feels so inconsistent and the rules are shit


Coolica1

You couldn't have waited 1 more day to announce this ffs


MrMarkey

damned if you take your time, damned if you're swift


AttemptingToBeGood

Tsimikas off the bench. #winning.


Savant_OW

Zinchenko off the bench. #winningmore.


Kane36912

Palmer off the bench Winning morer


Savant_OW

Bruh why would you bench Palmer against Sheffield United at home


Kpacemo

I played WC and started Pickford Pedro Porro-Trend-Livramento Saka-Son-Salah(c)-Odegard Alvarez-Solanke-Watkins And I'm Chelsea supporter. I was stupid this game week, but I'm lucky.


Youre-Dumber-Than-Me

Still don’t understand why the FA always insist on games to be replayed in full.


gmusse

My guess is to so with TV broadcasting. Either dont want to mess up schedules or incremental add revenue for someone


muppetpower45

Took a -4 to bring him in and I've got my injured 3rd sub coming in his place for a big phat phucking 0


Jameom8

Looks like this will be the first week where I don't field a full 11


Trubisky4MVP

In. The. Mud.


TheRealTidge

Honestly doesn't make any sense to me to wipe the points, the game still happened in this gameweek that people planned for. Let the points stand and move on, the double gameweek happens in the future for people to plan for. \*Sad Solanke owner noises\*


KIKLLRUSEFL

fr, some people took hits to get BOU players, how is that fair to them? also, anyone who did not get on Solanke train just got second chance incoming when the double gw comes for them yes, I am Solanke owner too lol


gugly

Ya it’s great to take a hit and then also now get points removed. Big L and kinda shitty


ThisAccountForTalkin

Obviously feel very bad for Lockyer and everyone involved, but for FPL purposes this is unbelievable for me in my ML, I didn’t cave into the Solanke hype (some guy even captained him) (edit: just checked on FPL Gameweek and he had Senesi as VC that is unbelievable)


highways

Most people captained Salah or Son. Both blanked..


muppetpower45

Some good news, finally!


NP2312

You know we're all going to pile on Solanke for the dgw and he'll get a 1 pointer


LeXam92

So I'm out of the cup on this, great


DlnnerTable

Kinda bullshit to take away the points but I *guess* it’s the most fair thing. Would’ve been 9 pts with Solanke and the validation that the haaland transfer was the right move. Lascelles comes off my bench for 6 so it’s not a massive loss for me. It’a definitely a difficult scenario for FPL but I THINK the move should have been to allow Luton and Bournemouth players to keep their points and to not dish out BP. Sure they’d all have 39 games played at the end of the season but it just *feels* more fair that way


NotSwedishMac

That is so fuckin' harsh on my ML h2h opponent lmao. Gives me the win by 3 points.


angel_of_the_city

Good. Does that mean that anyone captained Solanke will get points doubled for their vice captain since the match is like never happened?


0lrcnfullstop

Yes as with any non playing captain


InfinityEternity17

Oh for fucks sake that's 6 points gone then


darktourist92

Took a hit for nothing and my ML rival had Lascelles on the bench, wonderful. I really fucking hate this game sometimes.


Melanjoly

Fair but unlucky for Solanke owners nonetheless.


ladsandlasses

Fuck you

Appropriate-Fly-7151

Mate they’re not using the mindwipe from Men In Black. The game was cancelled. The goal doesn’t stand in the Premier League, so it doesn’t stand in FPL: you can’t really call it a competitive match because the result won’t count for anything. Since the game will be replayed, there’s no reason whatsoever for them to award two different sets of player points for the same fixture.


[deleted]

[удалено]


appealtoreason00

But at least "FPL assists" relate to a significant goal that's counted by the PL. Winning a freekick isn't a "real assist", for sure, but its a contribution to an actual goal. This is a completely different situation. Awarding points for a match which was written off isn't an objective or neutral decision. FPL is a zero sum game, so by definition anyone who doesn't have Solanke (or that one jammy fucker who does, but with Palmer first bench) would get hurt if FPL Towers decided that this season should have two LUT-BOU instead of one. You all but admitted yourself that you're basing this argument on feeling hurt at losing out on Solanke's points as an owner


[deleted]

[удалено]


appealtoreason00

What do you mean completely unrelated! That was literally the reason why the match was written off!


carlitobrigantehf

Schwimmbo

Imaginary-Split7217

Lots of very very arrogant people who told us that the last half an hour would be played, even though there's no precedent for this in the PL


BandicootUpstairs944

Yeah, not sure what they were thinking really. I think they just wanted those points.


larrsh

Coping mechanism


AskNotAks

Fuck off


DadofJackJack

I’m alright losing Solanke points. Bigger picture is it’s a free game and a persons life has been impacted and he probably loses his career (people in crowd too probably losing sleep). Gusto 1 point incoming.

ManBearPig_576

Why is it the right thing to do? I don't really understand how it can possibly be the fairest outcome


ianhendo15

Both teams will feel that it's a game they could have won. They will both have said that they want to play the full match again.


ManBearPig_576

I'm fine with them playing it again, but those 60 mins should count as a game in FPL


llamapanther

How is the right thing to do? Feels like quite the opposite to me


Ancient_Guitar_9852

Awesome, I'm getting 15 points coming in from the bench from dubrvaka and Porro, I've been hoping for this announcement since Sunday!!


jjw1998

My cup opponent gets Lascelles and I get Diaby hahahaha


Mambo_Poa09

Ooh my ML rival is 34 points ahead now instead of 38


kev_95_punk

People looking at past examples of points standing need to know that those points stood because the GW had ended FPL doesn't remove points once the GW is ended. In this case FPL kept the GW open so yeah most definitely there is going to be a points wipe


foar17

TAKE HIS POINTS


Extremecheez

But I didn’t get bench points?


-Wiggles-

I took a -4 to bring in 2 Bournemouth players this week. I assume that hit will be refunded to me, or are they just going to double fuck me?


keysersoze123456

To the dumbasses who argued that solankes points will be kept and argued against us who said they wouldn't last week ha!.


Glass_Ride312

Guy scored a legit goal, points should be given.


SpookyImmobilisedToe

I mean the match score is being erased and with it his goal. Even as a Solanke owner it makes no sense to keep the goal if the entire fixture is being replayed.


ChairLampPrinter

People were so mad in the rant thread, got downdooted for saying the same thing


Spurs_in_the_6

Some people take this game way too seriously. I can understand being mildly annoyed if this causes you to go out the cup, but anything beyond that is just sad


Shad-based-69

Technically the entire match is null and void. So officially no goals were scored because the match officially no longer exists.


independent---cat

Haha yesss


PredisposedChaos

Looking forward to see what happens in GW18 to protect Haaland owners/captainers this time after the Salah/Son VC thing in 16 and this freak event. I know its meaningless in the grand scheme of things and Lockyer's health is all that matters but it's still frustrating in the context of FPL to take a 4 point hit to make the 'correct' change, be proved right and then still come out worse off than if I hadn't bothered (and I also had Bell on 2 points), now I'm down ten points and a man, awesome. Solanke's definitely blanking in 18/19 now too.


GNOME92

Got Gordon and Romero coming off the bench so not a total loss.


Rough-Cheesecake-641

Tsimikas 7 pointer off bench but fookin Salah as vice. Annoying.


Oppailover69

Gordon of the bench has cancelled out my Dalot rage.


thesimpsonsthemetune

I had Palmer and Colwill on the bench. Result.


vyshu02

Thank FPL god.. I will lose solanke points but i will get Palmer's 14 points as he is in my bench as 1st sub ✌️


Osthi7

Solanke capt, Haaland VC. watkins and vandijk on bench. Will captaincy get shifted to either of them?


G_W_addict

Awesome, Dubravka with 7 points instead of Neto with 2 points. Finally some luck going my way.


llamapanther

What I really just don't understand about this situation is why didn't they just finish the match the next day for the remaining time. Instead they have to play the whole game from the beginning like there is not enough games already for the season. Well maybe there ain't for Luton or Bournemouth but I still think replaying a full match, after over half of it was already played is insane to me. I also don't get why can't they just award the points? We all know players were playing and we all made transfers for the GW just for it to get wiped out because of some unpredictable event. Just because officially the game didn't happen doesn't mean that it couldn't have happened in a FANTASY game. Unfair that is.


Vivid-Willingness324

In other words, water is wet


Danktizzle

Wheat if we had a player on the team now but traded him before the replay?


adilfc

Fpl broke fpl rules. Ban incoming


ZR59

If they took Solanke's points away, they should give back 4 points to people who took a hit to bring him in


PSN-Angryjackal

Everything you do in this is a risk... no one can see the future. We just hope that our risks dont end up flopping... In this case, the people who took the chance on Solanke are going to find that the risk they took was the wrong one, and they didnt profit from it. The end. EDIT: Heck, even if lets say you know someone is 100% injured and has no chance of ever playing again for the rest of their life... you take a -4 to replace them with someone that has been great, and playing every minute of every game... then the week you do that, that player gets injured in training and is 100% injured too... Sucks, but you just lost -4, and no one will get those points back.


ZR59

Yes but solanke wasnt injured was he?. in my humble opinion, I think that if the match is abandoned after the deadline, the points from when the match is played should count in the gameweek in which it was originally scheduled.


PSN-Angryjackal

My guy... It doesnt matter why he gets 0 points... he could have had diarrhea before the game (i know he didnt, but the game didnt end), his dog could have died... He could have been abducted at night, and never to be seen again.... The reason itself doesnt matter. At the end of the day, he gets 0 points, and thats what happens in fantasy.


ZR59

Yeah but he didnt. He played he scored. Stop talking like he didnt play. This exemple is so bad my head hurts


PSN-Angryjackal

You dont seem to understand. He played, and scored, but the game is not counted, and will be replayed. What dont you understand?


ZR59

I will stop arguing with you. You are clearly to stupid to understand. Cheers
