I know the servers were down, because I couldn't log-in either. It happens sometimes. A couple of seasons back, the servers went down for eight hours. All scheduled matches were played. It wouldn't be possible for matches to be delayed or postponed, especially with this short break.

In future, just do as someone else suggested (and what I also do). Leave your players in a legal formation, even if its the reserves, just in case something like this happens again. I doubt very much if you'll get any response from the devs.
