I do not see how they can play the next two weeks then because is quarantine not for 2 weeks or 10 days minimum? So how will the games progress in this case? Will teams be forced to field a second team of B players/reserves? Does not seem fair but I guess this is why all players have to respect quarantine rules.

They have healthy 14 players which are enough for regular matches. But there is a risk, probably all of the players were in contact with the infected. therefore, the incubation period must pass. So as not to risk that they may transmit the disease further to Everton players or any other teams. They must be quarantined for a few days because many of them are not infected but still at risk.
Probably next game against Chelsea will be played normally.

Heh yeah..  The covid era.  Lol.  

You mentioned covid and immediately covid made another hit. Our game of the night between City and Everton is cancelled due to covid outbreak in City squad. I could not find exact details but after Walker & Jesus were positive last week as well as some staff now there is many new cases. There is also some talk that City will close training grounds for some time.

Ugh..  This whole thing with covid sucks.  I haven't been watching that many matches and haven't been reading a lot of football since the pandemic started earlier this year thanks to covid.  And VAR isn't helping.  Lol.

[Harkorede]

Finally, I'm able to get points on Arsenal, and it's all 3 points too bad more than half of other folks from the pool are getting points too.

I didn't watch Leeds vs WestBrom, but I had to double check to believe the scoreline, Wtf happened ?!

With the second wave hitting somewhat hard already, I really just hope it wouldn't come down again to a total closure of sporting activities.

West Brom are shit, that's what happened lol. First goal was a brilliant own goal from 20+ meters out haha. Leeds just dominated. They had 76% of possession. 82% in the second half. I didn't expect it as I went for a 0-1 win and I even thought that was risky. Leeds are so inconsistent.

One thing that is really starting to piss me off is after giving away a free kick the player who's just committed the foul picks up the ball and runs off with it so they can't take it quickly. How petty and pathetic. It's becoming very common and Harry Maguire did it in the Wolves game with about five minutes to go even though it was 0-0 at that point. They should start booking players for that. It's pure timewasting and it's the same as kicking the ball away which earns you a card so so should that. Leave the ball where it is and fuck off.

The entire team doesn't have it just a few players. They'll just quarantine them and make sure the others stay safe and test them a before they play.

Does not look so bad at the current game day!

I have now made the predictions for the next round (is almost stressful) and hope to begin the new year in the Top10.
Wish you a good start in the new year

[cygan]

i was able to collect a total of 4.5 points in yesterday's 5 games. only in the game southampton vs. west ham i came away empty-handed.
today there are still 2 games:

spurs vs. fulham
newcastle vs. liverpool

i also hope for at least 1 point per game

I made a nice prediction for MUTD, exact score, which brought me money at bookies as well, seems that it was an obvious pick

Spurs should make it today, but their team atmosphere is not supportive, and Fulham has their chances if things go well for them

regarding Liverpool, should come, but would certainly skip it with bookies, maybe just goals, over 2.5, there were not many goals this round, expect for Leeds

[Trofo]

hotspurs vs. fulham

Is anybody calling them "hotspurs" actually? For me normal names would be "tottenham" or "spurs" and if we go by the club full name than it is "Tottenham Hotspur F.C." without "s" on the end of "hotspur". I believe this is not the first time you or somebody else called them hotspurs and it immediately gets my attention. Maybe I have OCD or something

Regarding Spurs game there is supposedly a lot of covid cases in Fulham side and there was talk of postponing the game. If that is true and they play the game it should be quite easy game for Spurs. It is not like Fulham can replace half their squad with equal value players.

I am very skeptic about Liverpool defense tonight and I have opted to play both to score. Wilson is back for Newcastle while Matip is another injured defender for Liverpool. Hopefully should be enough for Newcastle to score one goal and to keep all you red supporters happy Liverpool can then switch into higher gears and destroy them 5:1 or whatever

yeah, you are right and i know it
but i'm sitting at work right now and i have to do some things at the same time and so i was in a bit of a hurry when i was writing it

edit: changed it to 'spurs'

I wonder how those players got it.  Could they have sneaked out and goofed around with hookers and escorts?    I wouldn't be surprised.  Lol.

[swogerino]

This week I headed south completely.I think that dreaded spoon is gonna be mine by the end of this round as I have only 2.5 points and I don’t expect a whole lot of points during tonight.I am already putting in place my predictions for the first games of 2021,as they say New Year new me I hope in new better results for 2021.

[Trofo]

Spurs game is now postponed as well. This time it is due to covid outbreak in Fulham side. It seems there is a lot of players and stuff positive, no names leaked for now. This means Spurs have a few extra days of rest before game against Leeds on Saturday. I guess Mourinho is happy with this outcome,

So then they have to stay at home anyway how will the coming matches be played even if you are healthy or show no symptoms? Just wondering how it will affect the league at all or even if my team faces the same situation. I mean if incubation period is even one week that is already 3 games to miss. How do we reschedule all of it.

i have also just read...
now the first coach from the pl (Sam Allardyce from west bromwhich albion) is also demanding an interruption of the current season.

Well things have taken a turn for me; as I now sit in 7th place and now 17 points behind tomahawk9.

With only one match on the board today set to begin in about 2.5 hours, I was thinking about having a little fun.

Nice little extra something for us regulars here. Why not, I am in, could use a boost since Spurs game got cancelled and dropped the amount I can get from my ticket considerably We had little to chose from today even with Spurs and now we are left just with Liverpool for entertainment.

I'll give it a try with 21' minute.

Man you are generous!
15' minute for me please.

I am not having good time lately. Yesterday at last minute I thought I will revise my picks. In the West Brom vs Leeds mach from Leeds to win to draw and in arsenal match 0 - 1 to 1 -2 win for Arsenal. If I would not change the picks then I would had minimum 3 more points in the pool. Right now I have only 7 points and it would definitely looked good with 10 points.

Let's get the boys to win today. I gone with 1 - 2 win for them.

[LFC_Bitcoin]

I’ll go for the 9th minute, really hope we react after a poor performance against West Brom.

[Indymoney]

Even my luck is not favouring me in this season and in recent days but still hopefull for today result could be 1 - 3 in favour of Liverpool and

for this first goal thing I am going with 18th minute.

[morvillz7z]

I'm not getting any exact scores today, i'm not fooling myself, but let's try to at least get the first goal right, shall we, i say 31' minute.
