Following our statement of 3 April that the return of Premier League fixtures will not take place at the beginning of May and will be only when it is safe to do so, here is how it will affect Fantasy Premier League Draft.
The waiver deadlines for the Gameweeks will remain at their scheduled times:
GW34 Sat 18 Apr 11:30 BST
GW35 Sat 25 Apr 11:30 BST
GW36 Sat 2 May 14:00 BST
GW37 Sat 9 May 14:00 BST
GW38 Sun 17 May 14:00 BST
After the waiver deadline passes, managers can transfer in an unlimited number of Free Agency players without any points deductions.
There are also no points hits occurred for managers who trade players with another manager in their Draft league.
The deadlines for the Gameweeks will remain at their scheduled times.
GW34 Sat 18 Apr 11:30 BST
GW35 Sat 25 Apr 11:30 BST
GW36 Sat 2 May 14:00 BST
GW37 Sat 9 May 14:00 BST
GW38 Sun 17 May 14:00 BST
How does this affect Draft leagues?
As points deductions do not affect FPL Draft, each manager in a Classic league will score zero points, regardless of the number of transfers they make.
Matches in Head-to-Head leagues will be drawn and the managers will earn one point each.
What happens to the postponed fixtures?
It is the Premier League’s intention to reschedule the postponed fixtures only when it is safe to do so.
Points scored in these fixtures will apply to the Gameweek in which the fixtures are played.
We will make a further announcement on any fixtures scheduled for after 17 May, 2020.
What happens next?
In this fast-moving environment, the Premier League will provide further updates when appropriate.
These are exceptional circumstances and we appreciate the understanding of FPL managers while the situation evolves.
