Player points and transfer windows when games are postponed in Fantasy Manager
What happens when your best-laid Fantasy plans are ruined because a game is postponed? With Friday's Mainz-Union fixture called off, we explain all..
While a postponed match will be replayed at some stage, players' Fantasy points in the rescheduled game will not be calculated.
Instead, players' average points for the season so far will be awarded for the postponed match, as per the Fantasy rules, which state:
"If a match is rescheduled, the players of those teams will receive an average score depending by its season average in the Fantasy Manager, which will be only applied exclusively to players of the teams who are affected with the change of game day."
In concrete terms, that means that if you still have Kevin Behrens in your Fantasy team after the postponement of Union Berlin's Matchday 18 trip to Mainz, and the game is not rescheduled for later this weekend, you will be awarded six points - the forward's average haul this season. If you have him starred, then you will receive nine points.
Furthermore, as Mainz-Union was scheduled to be the opening Matchday 18 fixture, the transfer window will now close at 3.30pm CET on Saturday, instead of 8.30pm CET on Friday.
