Edit: Now this has happened, making this more visible for discussion of what happens next.
Assuming that all football is postponed/cancelled within the next week or so, I still can't decide what the fairest approach is.
Do we ignore this season and pretend it didn't happen?
All promoted/relegated teams from 2018/2019 to stay where they are.
European qualification as 2018/2019 (we're back in the CL)
Liverpool not given title (harsh but hilarious)
or
Do we say that the places as of a certain date are the "end" of the season?
Liverpool win league
Teams currently in promotion/regelation/europe positions count as end of season
Some times will have had harder fixtures than others so some teams very disadvantaged. That could in theory put some clubs out of business.
No FA cup final means no winners to qualify for europe so how we do fill that space?
Both options seem pretty crap but which would be fairer? It's fairly obvious that it needs to be consistent Europe-wide but there's no guarantee that we decide to do the same as the other major leagues unless UEFA mandate it.
