The premier league has decided to postpone GW7 after the demise of Queen Elizabeth II as a mark of respect. This means there is no FPL GW7 fixture this weekend and the fixtures will now be played later on another date during the season.
Key Takeaways from the FPL GW7 Postponement:
- All managers who made 0 transfers or 1 Free Transfer will finish with 0 points in GW7
- If you had taken a hit for GW7, you will finish with -4 points. If you had taken two hits, you will finish with -8 points and so on. If you haven’t taken a hit for GW7 you will surely get a green arrow 😂
- If you have activated Triple Captain/Bench Boost/Free Hit for GW7, it would be reversed. You will get the chip back. There is a possibility that managers can play free hit after taking hits in GW7 to remove the hits and get the FH also back(But there has been no confirmation from official FPL on this)
- If you have already activated Wildcard for GW7, it would be carried on to GW8
- There is no news yet on Postponed fixtures dates. Wait for official announcement. There may be a Big Double Gameweek with all 20 teams playing.
Now, what should you do with your FPL Team?
- If you have 1 Free Transfer save it, you will have 2 Free Transfers for GW8
- If you have 2 Free Transfers do one transfer now, ie. before GW7 deadline. You will still have 2 Free Transfers for GW8 deadline.
- If you have already activated Wildcard, your wildcard will be active for GW8. Have an eye on Price Changes and tinker with your team for GW8/9.
Can you Wildcard now ahead of the FPL GW7 deadline and build a team for FPL GW8 or FPL GW9?
Technically you can do it and build a team for GW8 or GW9 whichever is the next gameweek to be played while catching the price changes. This is also under the assumption that WC will roll over to GW9 if the whole of GW8 is postponed.
What will happen to FPL GW8?
GW8 is also potentially likely to be postponed but there isn’t any clear information on the same. The queen’s funeral is scheduled on the 19th of September.
What happens to the Brighton vs Crystal Palace GW8 game already postponed?
The Brighton vs Crystal Palace was supposed to be postponed due to a rail strike which has been canceled now. It’s not clarified yet whether this game is back on if the rest of GW8 goes ahead.
Do save the post as we’ll be updating it with regular information as and when it’s announced.
