EPL 19/20

How do you allocate CL and EL places for next season if teams haven't played the same number of games? In theory, Sheffield United would be 5th if they win their game in hand, which could result in a CL spot.
Pretty much the same problem being faced by all the major European leagues. Would seem like you can't possibly make any decisions until you know when games can be resumed.
Further to @dogmeat and his comment on Fulham, the mighty Notts County have just gone on a winning streak to reach 3rd in the National League - and the league was suspended today ...

Are you serious? Or just being pessimistic? Are they saying the season will be null and void?

Could be as simple as points per game played?
Possibly, but the teams won't have played the same teams so you were at the mercy of the schedule.
The latest optimistic report is saying the EPL could restart in early June.

The updates are quite thin, but I think they will look to get the league done. Europe competition is done and dusted, and it's quite easy to forgo other trophies, but the league is very important.
Reality is that most teams have 8 games left, at 2 a week (remember with zero other comps this is extremely doable) then it can be done in a month. Empty stadiums maybe which will be a bit odd (this is basically assured due to not only the transmission, but the drain on public emergency services as well), but you can be sure the tv viewing figures will be OFF THE SCALE.
.... won't stop me putting an * in tho ....

If they don't give the title to anyone I think Liverpool supporters' heads will explode

There's obviously a desire to complete the league when possible to do so...
"There is a combined objective for all remaining domestic league and cup matches to be played," the league said, "enabling us to maintain the integrity of each competition."
And this...
Uefa, in a letter signed by the European Club Association and the European Leagues, has urged members not to abandon their competitions. Halting leagues without approval from Uefa could see teams blocked from qualifying for the Champions League and Europa League as they are determined based on final positions in domestic standings.
Now, it seems to me that there must be a point by which the league executives will simply say that 19/20 can't be completed. However, and similarly, there must also be a point whereby 20/21 can't be started, because there won't be enough time to complete a full 38-game season. In this case, surely the fall back would be to complete 19/20?
