Not a good sign for Lockyer if the game was abandoned.

Ederson -2 what an absolute spud

Didn't expect a negative. But did expect them to score. Palace have a very good recent record at Man City. They won there in 2018 (2018/19 season) and 2021 and drew there in 2020 (2-2 as well) plus were ahead at HT in 2022 before Haaland did his thing.

It was a heart attack, but he is stable now: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67738555

Football career probably over, though.

DT - 4(c)/58

FPL - 4/9

 

[Ironhawk]

Currently on 2 pts in FPL. 24 pts sitting on the bench.

Think some of that will come on field at least due to players missing, but it should have been there already if I hadn't missed the deadline.

Seriously hope Tom Lockyer is okay. Dreadful news to wake up to.

As long as he recovers fully like Muamba, he'll be able to live with that.

 

[Burly]

May be OK with a pacemaker - like Erikson?
Regardless, terrible for everyone involved, glad he's alright

 

[tso]

Can't see him playing again. Second time in 7 months it's happened.

Yep. I doubt they'll let him.

I think they have a mini AED device built in, so that wherever he is, if his heart stops, it gets 'jump-started'.

Muamba, Eriksen and Lockyer couldn't have picked better places to expose their heart issues.
Doctors and equipment literally seconds away.

 

[vsberlina]

Had Solanke in FPL, brought in Tavernier in DT & FSN.
Wonder what happens now. New game or start where they finished off?

Yes, I had Solanke in FPL and RDT. His score is standing in FPL, but not in RDT??

Will the match be replayed?
In short, yes. The laws of the game, as posted on the FA website, say that: “An abandoned match is replayed unless the competition rules or organisers determine otherwise.”


The result as it was won’t stand and, given that we are not even at the halfway point of the Premier League season yet, there is plenty of time to squeeze in a replay. There needs to be a result from the match to ensure that all Premier League teams play an equal 38 games across the season.

FPL just haven't made the adjustments yet. Perhaps they felt it would be seen as unseemly haste? I suspect they'll do it at the end of the round.

RDT were more proactive and made them in-game.

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Looks like RDT have made it that all Bournemouth and Luton players have been given a bye, thus allowing a trade if possible.

In my case, I had brought Solanke in this week, so I just updated my trade to Watkins for tonight
