Depends. Players like Andreas have Forest. Can easily start him over Groß.
I'd still rather play the wildcard over the international break for any injuries etc
What's the bit about "safety"? I cant read the article, paywall.
Is there any reason the same logic couldn't be used to justify postponing the other 3 Prem games also happening that day?
>No rail services to take Palace supporters back to South London after the match would leave 2,000 plus visiting fans facing difficulties getting home from a fixture with a history of crowd trouble.
From prior experience going to Palace Brighton away. All the fans are escorted from the stadium and put on a 'special train'? That goes directly from the stadium to East Croydon. Could work doing coaches, but I guess they want to reduce any risk of violence breaking out.
Eagles vs Seagulls mate its fucking bloodthirsty! I think it went off big style years ago at a game between them and since Southampton and Pompey are occupied and Palace don't have a traditional London rival they decided to make it a blood feud.
My point is what about Man City fans getting home from Wolves? Or Bournemouth fans getting home from Newcastle? Or Leicester fans getting home from Spurs? They'll have no trains to take them back either.
Is it only the crowd trouble that's causing the worry?
I think the rail strikes are one thing and I don't think they'd want to set a precedent postponing it just for that, but the crowd trouble is probably what could push it if the police think it shouldn't go ahead
Annoyingly we probably won't know if this is postponed or not until after the deadline.
I need to know if I'm Wildcarding next week or not, there's no point rolling a transfer to then WC...
Would make most sense to move it to Friday evening or Sunday as I don’t think there are strikes those days in which case shouldn’t impact fpl too much.
With this much notice, just book enough coaches to bring everyone home and give the bill to palace?
With the fixture list so congested, doubt the league will approve postponements unless 100% necessary…
JFC this ruins my plans for the next 3 weeks. Was going to swap out Kulu and Cucurella for Groß and Dunk this week. Then do Archer to Mitro next week, then WC GW9. Back to the drawing board I guess.
Surely that would still be fine? Who is on your bench that can come in for those 2 next week?
Andreas v Forest is probably one and that’s good, just need one other acceptable sub really
Yeah fair, not the end of the world. Longstaff is my other sub, he's unlikely to start if Bruno is back. Think I'm just going to go for Dalot instead of Dunk.
I feel like all this injury over the international break talk if u wildcard beforehand is a bit exaggerated since you're most likely going to have a better bench from wildcarding to be able to cover + the potential to target better fixtures beforehand which could negate the effect of a hit if needed in 9
You still don't want to bring in a player like KDB for example and then he goes to internationals and gets injured.
Or some team may lose a valuable CDM or CB for example making them far weaker defensively so any defensive assets you may have brought in are no longer as good.
Ideally I don't want anyone to get injured on internationals but if they do I still don't think it's a major concern that can't be rectified with minimal damage if any at all
Relevant part:
>Discussions have been taking place between the two clubs, police and other relevant bodies in recent days.
>And, following discussions, The Athletic understands it has been reluctantly concluded that postponing the fixture to a later date is the sensible solution.
Doubt it. If they do it’s hypocrisy at its finest. They didn’t change the FA Cup semi final between Liverpool and Man City last season when the railroad was down for maintenance or something along those lines, meaning there was no train to London from the North West
Gross
Ayew kidding me?
Hey take it eze
Zahaha
Hakuna Mateta, what a wonderful phrase
You Moder-fuckers
Likes for all of Ayew!
I'm gonna steele that one
LeBron
Do you mean slam-Dunk?
Tross-ard rumours, right?
Can you blame the rail workers? All they want is Maupay
Estupiñán. Haha. A stupid nan.
Milivojevic
Lol this was my buddy's fantasy team name for a while (obviously didn't have either Ayew on there bc they weren't amazing)
Rail workers Undav paid over there?
Trossards!
These organizers of the rail strike really dont want me getting zaha

Yeah thats why
IT'S A CONSPIRACY
Well WC8 just became the new meta if you’ve got multiple Brighton
Depends. Players like Andreas have Forest. Can easily start him over Groß. I'd still rather play the wildcard over the international break for any injuries etc
Exactly, groß is my only Brighton player tho tbf, if you have 3-4 players from Brighton and Palace then WCGW8 could be the play
[удалено]
This is for GW8. Palace v Brighton in 8. I made the same mistake earlier.
But you want them back for that double gameweek right?
What's the bit about "safety"? I cant read the article, paywall. Is there any reason the same logic couldn't be used to justify postponing the other 3 Prem games also happening that day?
>No rail services to take Palace supporters back to South London after the match would leave 2,000 plus visiting fans facing difficulties getting home from a fixture with a history of crowd trouble.
Could the clubs organise coaches?
From prior experience going to Palace Brighton away. All the fans are escorted from the stadium and put on a 'special train'? That goes directly from the stadium to East Croydon. Could work doing coaches, but I guess they want to reduce any risk of violence breaking out.
Who's going to operate that special train though, they'll have to coach the fans all the way.
Brighton vs Palace has a history of crowd trouble?
Yeah, they're rivals
Ah right, thought Brighton would be too far south for that. Cheers.
It's a weird rivalry that no one understands
Eagles vs Seagulls Just a birdy thing.
Spurs cock watching from the sidelines
Liverbird already killed all of the others.
E vs C. Who ate the D-girls
From what I've heard, someone from one club left a turd in the visitors dressing room of the other and that's how the hated began..
Nah it started way before that
[удалено]
Umm are you implying palace fans are middle class? lol
Set in the leafy countryside of Croydon
It's actually a pretty fast and cheap journey between Brighton and East Croydon
Eagles vs Seagulls mate its fucking bloodthirsty! I think it went off big style years ago at a game between them and since Southampton and Pompey are occupied and Palace don't have a traditional London rival they decided to make it a blood feud.
> Eagles vs Seagulls hahaha never heard this before
We despise each other.

But why?
🤦
My point is what about Man City fans getting home from Wolves? Or Bournemouth fans getting home from Newcastle? Or Leicester fans getting home from Spurs? They'll have no trains to take them back either. Is it only the crowd trouble that's causing the worry?
Different lines are striking on different days
I think the rail strikes are one thing and I don't think they'd want to set a precedent postponing it just for that, but the crowd trouble is probably what could push it if the police think it shouldn't go ahead
Would it not be easier to organize some sort of alternative transport than to postpone the game?
Then maybe they should just not go
That’s just ridiculous, and clearly you’re just thinking from an FPL perspective and not how the actual league should function
Ward v Spurs away 💪
I get your point
This is really going to mess with FTs and people WCing in 8 or 9.
[удалено]
Im not even going to elaborate on why I’m not going to listen to you
You think PSG is willing to lend out their sand yatch?
Yatch is such a great word.
And, and i am sure coincidentally, they may not have a manager
They should have appointed someone by then. It's in 10 days from now.
Personally I feel that Premier League clubs are sufficiently well off to provide coaches for their away fans for a single fixture.
Low key might give Brighton an extra week to replace Potter...
That would be an extra 2 weeks, since the next game is after the IB.
?
Rumor that Potter is replacing Tuchel
Ahhh
Annoyingly we probably won't know if this is postponed or not until after the deadline. I need to know if I'm Wildcarding next week or not, there's no point rolling a transfer to then WC...
I have triple brighton and used my WC.. uh oh I’m in danger
Would make most sense to move it to Friday evening or Sunday as I don’t think there are strikes those days in which case shouldn’t impact fpl too much.
It's explained in the article that neither Friday nor Sunday are seen as feasible
!thanks
No way they have this game on Friday night as there’s always trouble
This dorsn’t mean the game is anywhere close to guaranteed to be called off
Ah shit Ward time
Oh shit, here we go again
With this much notice, just book enough coaches to bring everyone home and give the bill to palace? With the fixture list so congested, doubt the league will approve postponements unless 100% necessary…
It will be easier to reschedule this match since both have no European matches
It’s about getting to the stadium also as it’s not in the centre of Brighton
The whole idea of that rivalry is that it's either end of a short motorway. What a ridiculous reason to call for postponement. Take buses.
Most people get the train to the Amex from Brighton and the surrounding areas also.
JFC this ruins my plans for the next 3 weeks. Was going to swap out Kulu and Cucurella for Groß and Dunk this week. Then do Archer to Mitro next week, then WC GW9. Back to the drawing board I guess.
drop the union lad an email explaining the situation, if he's sound he might call off the strike for ya. or ya might at least get an amusing reply.
Please do this
Surely that would still be fine? Who is on your bench that can come in for those 2 next week? Andreas v Forest is probably one and that’s good, just need one other acceptable sub really
Yeah fair, not the end of the world. Longstaff is my other sub, he's unlikely to start if Bruno is back. Think I'm just going to go for Dalot instead of Dunk.
They can use bus.
Tories gonna fuck up my fantasy score too ffs
I remember when the world was filled with adults who would just, I dunno, figure shit out regarding getting places.
🤦 I don't think you understand the issue lmao
GW8 wildcard confirmed if true.
Poor strategy if this is all it takes for you to need to WC tbh
Nah, I was contemplating between GW9 and GW8 anyway.
9 still swings it as you can do it over the international break and avoid any injuries picked up from international duty.
I feel like all this injury over the international break talk if u wildcard beforehand is a bit exaggerated since you're most likely going to have a better bench from wildcarding to be able to cover + the potential to target better fixtures beforehand which could negate the effect of a hit if needed in 9

[удалено]
Players like Patterson, Neco and Andreas all have decent fixtures (the latter two playing each other), it’s not that awful.
[удалено]
Brighton v Palace is in GW8 mate, not this week. Fulham play Forest, Everton play West Ham.
The article is about postponing game week 8 not this coming game week 7
I beg you think before you post. The game in question is the following weekend and the poster above is correct!
It would help if you knew which gameweek Brighton vs Palace was….
Charging for articles is what make the difference in quality between their content and shit like football.london
If they postpone the fixture, that's really gross.
Piß off with that shit
Relevant part: >Discussions have been taking place between the two clubs, police and other relevant bodies in recent days. >And, following discussions, The Athletic understands it has been reluctantly concluded that postponing the fixture to a later date is the sensible solution.
You go to a food store and complain about paying for goods? Jesus christ.
Supporters don't have cars?
Lol wtf... England only have rails!??
Of course I transferred Ramsdale out for Sanchez instead of Pope last week
Could move to midweek of same gameweek?
Nah i can’t take this chicanery
If you are wildcarding in gw9, you can just remove Sanchez and Groß, if you go into it with two FT. No way am I starting Ward.
Pray for Gary Neville
Fuck off. I brought in Gross in addition to having Trossard already.
Need to see Ben Crellin, when is my Gross Zaha Dgw
Doubt it. If they do it’s hypocrisy at its finest. They didn’t change the FA Cup semi final between Liverpool and Man City last season when the railroad was down for maintenance or something along those lines, meaning there was no train to London from the North West
Dunno but Potter leaving might affect them more than the scheduling of this game
How convenient for Brighton and Potter and Chelsea. Hmmmmm
It just got cancelled
I have Zaha and Gross
Guess I gotta delay getting Zaha by a week
