Bundesliga Fantasy Manager points when games are postponed

What happens when your best-laid Bundesliga Fantasy plans are ruined because a game is postponed, be it because of snow or any other reason? Here's what you need to know for your team...

Both St. Pauli's fixture against RB Leipzig and Werder Bremen's encounter with Hoffenheim have been called off on the Saturday of Matchday 16 due to poor weather in northern Germany.

While a postponed match will be replayed at some stage, players' Fantasy points in the rescheduled game will not be calculated.

Instead, players will be awarded points based on their season average. 

The Fantasy rules state:

"If a match is postponed or abandoned, the players of those teams will receive their seasonal points average. If they are starred, they will still get 1.5x points.

"Should a fixture be postponed or abandoned on Matchday 1, players will be awarded the average total of all players in their position (goalkeeper/defender/midfielder/forward) who played 70 minutes or more that matchday."

As an example, with Leipzig's game at St. Pauli called off due to heavy snow, any manager with David Raum in their team will therefore earn 220 points (his season average prior to Matchday 16) without him even playing.

Managers who had him as their star defender will earn 330 points.

The same applies for goalkeepers. In the case of this fixture, only Nikola Vasilj and Péter Gulácsi have played this season, so they will earn 170 and 135 points respectively.

If a club had two goalkeepers who had played and earned points, they would both receive their average, if they had a game called off.

The top 11 function remains in place, ensuring the best possible 11 players according to your selected formation are still fielded.
