Norwich have been relegated from the Premier League and it provides some juicy options into the last few games makes the fantasy football section. The Canaries are likely to go down without a fight in the last few games and they are up against Chelsea in the next match. Despite the loss to Sheffield United, Frank Lampard’s team are expected to make a comeback since they have been doing extremely well of late. The loss at Bramall Lane came as a major shock and the blues are likely to recover from this defeat. Christian Pulisic and Willian have been playing exceptionally well, but both had a subdued afternoon against the blades.

Fantasy Premier League has confirmed that there is a possibility of additional game weeks being included into the game if top-flight football resumes as expected in the middle of June. This announcement came as a brief statement from the organisers, but there are no concrete plans about a restart just yet. It is not known if there will be any changes to the existing structure. In a statement, the Fantasy Premier League said:“We can confirm that any chips you retain at present (e.g. Triple Captain, Bench Boost, Free Hit and/or Wildcard) would remain available for you, in accordance with the Game Rules.”

It is not known whether this paragraph should be interpreted as a sign that the FPL wants to extend the game week as per the usual schedule only when the Premier league restarts not. The inconclusive stance means that the possibility of the game finishing is very unlikely. If anyone is thinking about a blind bench most of this weekend, this may not be the correct time with the possibility of no continuation.

Football across the world has come to a standstill and this has also brought the world of fantasy football down to its knees. The Fantasy Premier league is enjoyed by several million users in the United Kingdom, but the rapid spread of coronavirus has led to the suspension of all types of football. A lot of strange things have been happening in recent weeks and the game as we know is in a fix. Many are still in suspicion about the progress of the campaign. In the interest of trying to finish in the remainder of the Premier League season, the clubs will be meeting on April 3 for a decision.

The game organisers, meanwhile, have updated the players stating that the transfers and chips can still be enjoyed in the game even though actual matches are not taking place. The exceptional circumstances mean that the future of fantasy football for the current campaign remains under a lot of doubt. So far, it has been a brilliant campaign with players who have picked Liverpool stars ending up with a lot of points on board. Liverpool have been on course to winning the first Premier League title in the history, but that run has come to an abrupt end.

Former Ballon d’Or winner Kaka has said that Liverpool will have to work hard for the Premier League title next season after a flawless performance during the current campaign. The Reds are expected to seal their maiden Premier League title this term with the staggering 22-point lead over Manchester City at the top of the standings.

In a report covered by The Mirror, Kaka said that he has been impressed with the dominating display from the Reds in the English top-flight. However, he added that they may not be able to replicate the same level of performance next season, considering their rivals will definitely come up with a better challenge for the title, the Brazilian told: “It’s good to see a team playing this way because it’s just one season. I am not saying Liverpool are bad but in a competition like the Premier League, it’s hard to have a season like this. “It shows that Liverpool are in very good shape and have a very good coach and players.”

Joe Gomez had a difficult start to his life at Anfield, as he was initially behind Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip in the pecking order. However, injuries suffered by the duo have been very crucial for Joe Gomez, who has started getting a run of action in the first team. He has formed a remarkable partnership with Virgil van Dijk. It has helped others one of the biggest problems faced by Liverpool – a legal defence. Even with a lot of advantage in the title race, Liverpool were only able to register two clean sheets in the games before Gomez was introduced.
