What now happens to Game Week 7 of Fantasy Premier League 22/23 after the announcement of all the postponed fixtures?
Following the recent tragic news of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, the Premier League confirmed that as a mark of respect to Her Majesty, this weekend’s Premier League match round will be postponed.
This left fans of Fantasy Premier League 22/23 wondering what would now happen with their Game Week 7. Many players used tools such as their wildcard or made crucial transfers that were entirely specific for this game week - so it was all left a bit up in the air as to what would occur.
Luckily, this has all been cleared up now. So, with this - here we have everything you need to know about what's happening with Game Week 7 in FPL 22/23.
Game Week 7 changes due to fixture postponement
As confirmed by OfficialFPL on their socials, here is how Game Week 7 will now work:
- Gameweek 7 will roll over with no points scored.
- Triple Captain, Bench Boost & Free Hit Chips activated for GW7 will be reinstated. Wildcards will roll into the next Gameweek.
- For managers who took a point hit for additional transfers, their scores will reflect the points they lost.
- In H2H league matches, if neither manager made transfers incurring points deductions that GW, then the matches will be drawn & managers will earn one point each.
- Postponed fixtures will be allocated to another date. Points scored in these fixtures will apply to the Gameweek in which the fixtures are played and not to GW7.
They went on to explain that these are exceptional circumstances and that they'd appreciate the understanding of all FPL players during this time.
Normal service should be resumed by the time the next game week rolls around, so this should only affect game week 7 in FPL 22/23.
