FPL confirms Gameweek 7 will be rolled over with no points scored

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) has announced that Gameweek 7 will be rolled over with no points scored, following the cancellation of Premier League fixtures due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Sporting bodies were allowed to decide whether they would continue with sporting events this weekend or not, although the chair of the DCMS Select Committee Julian Knight did tell TalkSPORT that no sporting events should take place out of respect.

The Premier League opted to suspend this weekend's fixtures to honour the Queen's 'extraordinary life and contribution to the nation'.

A statement released by FPL on Twitter said: 'Gameweek 7 will roll over with no points scored.

'Triple Captain, Bench Boost & Free Hit Chips activated for GW7 will be reinstated. Wildcards will roll into the next Gameweek.

'For managers who took a points hit for additional transfers, their scores will reflect the points they lost.

'In H2H league matches, if neither manager made transfers incurring points deductions that Gameweek, then the matches will be drawn & managers will earn one point each.

'Postponed fixtures will be allocated to another date. Points scored in these fixtures will apply to the Gameweek in which the fixtures are played and not to Gameweek 7 These are exceptional circumstances, and we appreciate the understanding of FPL managers while the situation evolves.'

The EFL, SPFL and FA have also called off games this weekend, although Manchester United and West Ham did take part in European games on Thursday night following pre-match tributes.
