Yep, things can change fast. From an FPL point of view we can only try to be flexible, setting up our teams depending on how the fixture list ends up looking like.
Oh, well, and for what it's worth ... at least we have the start of The Guardian's Top 100 Foorballers list to mull over in the coming days:

Something to keep an eye on regarding game time for the two players.
Some great footballer mentioned already, and they're just down to nr. 71 yet!

Frustrating news as an owner as to why Foden didn't play last gameweek. Certainly won't make it easier if Pep decides to keep him on the bench as punishment.
But with double gameweeks certain to happen at some point, maybe we won't need any City mids in our teams…?
*You can't use 2 Free Hit Chips in a row.
Currently the only Chip I have used is the Wild Card Chip.
I've used my first WC and Bench Boost so far ...
Probably going to need all of my bench this week if the Villa/Chelsea game gets postponed.
I have a few Chelsea assets myself.
Sounds like smart moves! I have no idea what to do at the moment, but Son is definitely a player I want.
This certainly changes the planning! I see there's a lot of angry FPL managers on Twitter. A lot of them have spent time planning the strategy for the upcoming gameweeks (with all the factors that might impact their teams), just for that to go out the window with the introduction of the additional chip. Definitely see their point, though I'm not surprised that FPL introduced another variable into the game. It's their interest to keep people playing.
FPL must have recorded a large number of Free Hit Chips been used? To decide to give another chip?
My initial concern was whether there was a time limit on the first Chip which does not seem to be the case.
Regarding planning, with such uncertainty of whether games will get played and numerous double gameweeks to come I can't imagine the FPL managers that are complaining had water tight plans going forward.
Possibly. They have very likely got a lot of comments on social media asking if they could provide FPL managers with a bit of help, since so many games have been postponed.
No, the Free Hit will be available to use whenever we like, but not we cannot use our Free Hit chips in consecutive GWs. That makes sense, of course.
Haha, no, I expect just a small number of managers had (or have) locked their plans. But I have seen some which have taken their planning quite seriously despite the uncertainty around which games will be played or not – like: "If so and so happens, I will prioritise these transfers instead of these", etc.
That makes sense having plan a and plan b and c to fall back on. This season I have hardly done the eye test never mind check which players are in form, also in recent months I stopped listening to FPL podcasts.
It's such a strange season that having template players makes it easier to field only a team of seven or eight where in the past I would convince myself to take hits to get a starting eleven.
Admittedly being way off this season I am now more relaxed and take more risks.
Antonio is yellow flagged with bad form too :))
It will be very interesting to see how many games are played this gw.
We should have a Back of the net! CUP ? Is that possible ?
Arsenal v Liverpool in the eflc semis. Probably both teams best chance to win a trophy this season ?
True I have been thinking of transferring Antonio out for some time though not many decent striker replacements this season.
With the next run of fixtures starting Boxing day, I would not be surprised if several games were canceled. Though I am really hoping United play, hopefully Ragnick has got some decent coaching done via Zoom lol
I still have him in my team ... all these weeks later just holding him for the good run of fixtures. But as loathe as I am to bring in a a second Southampton player, I may transfer him out for Broja, if only to free-up some money. Don't see other options at the moment ...
I would not be surprised if a few more West Ham players test positive in the next few days, not sure if I will make a transfer my bench is OK. If I do it will be right before the deadline. I have been looking at ways to get Ronaldo in though I may wait until Salah's last two games are up, unsure Salah will face Chelsea.
Having a sort of a plan, or a list of potential players to get (and how to afford them) can be smart – probably even more so when we have factors like postponements to consider. Some FPL podcasts cover these topics quite well, but FPL managers plays the game differently, and have a different perspective on hits and risk taking. I've narrowed my list doen to just a selected few, and I think that's enough really.
It's certainly been a season where having a template team has paid off. It's certainly not always like that. We're only halfway into the season though, so a lot can change!
Looks like it's a new feature this season!
I could set up a cup competition starting in say starting in January – for example gameweek 21-24, which will be completed before the end of the season. What do people think? This could be fun, couldn't it? :-)
Have to check the details if O can implement our league straight into a cup, or if I need people to register for it.
For Arsenal, no doubt. Liverpool can still compete with City, if City doesn't go through the season picking up win after win. Won't expect Arsenal to beat Liverpool over two legs though; expect Klopp will see the potential of a trophy, fielding a very strong team against Arsenal.
That's four players out already for me.
Use one of the free hits? I am going to have to make transfers that's for sure.
Just checked my team I am currently 5 outfield players down.
I think I need some coffee ....
If for example another two games get called off I wont do anything as everyone will be having a low points scoring week most likely.
