MATCH POSTPONEMENTS AND RULES UPDATE

These five games are postponed because of Covid-19 outbreaks and will not be part of this GW:

Cardiff v Derby | Coventry v Stoke | Millwall v Preston | QPR v Swansea | Reading v Luton

These postponed fixtures will be moved to a GW after which it will be played, meaning that these teams will have two (or even three!) matches in one GW (this kind of gameweeks are often called DGW).

Here’s how the current schedule looks so far

Due to this situation, we decided to add new rule.

For every two postponed matches in a GW, you’ll be given:

+1 free transfer
+1 free-hit transfer
+1 post-deadline transfer

Free-hit and post-deadline transfers can be saved for future GWs, but transfers cannot.

Additions can be given only before last 3 hours to GW deadline. So, if a game gets postponed in the last 3 hours prior to the deadline, it won’t be counted to give you one more addition.
