The Suspension Tightrope – Casualty
Filed under: Suspensions - Posted by: Anorak
As you’ll have seen in Sunday’s Scout Notes, Fantasy favourite Marouane Fellaini was the big casualty of accrued yellows this week. A booking in the 2-1 loss at Reading tipped the Belgian over the five-card line and into the ban list for Gameweek 13 – the pileous purveyor of Fantasy points will now miss the visit of a buoyant Norwich and hand his 36.9% Fantasy Premier League (FPL) owners a midfield conundrum this weekend.
Elsewhere on the tightrope, we saw a couple of new faces arrive, with Wigan captain Gary Caldwell the first to fill the void left by the aforementioned Belgian, as his fourth yellow of the season added him to an ever-growing list, while in Sunday’s game at Craven Cottage, the only player with three cautions to his name – Steve Sidwell duly delivered another indiscretion and will receive his tightrope invitation in the Monday morning mail.
On to Monday night and a plethora of players blink wildly on the tightrope office radar system, as West Ham host Stoke in a game that could justify a couple of extra paragraphs should the cards fall a certain way. On the home side, we already have the defensive pairing of James Collins and Winston Reid primed on four bookings, just one slip from a week off, while midfielder Mark Noble sits one away from tightrope notoriety on three. The visitors see a trio of protagonists alongside Noble on three bookings, with Charlie Adam, Ryan Shawcross and Andy Wilkinson also ready to climb aboard.
Welcoming Fellaini into suspension land (no doubt to compare grooming tips), we still have Fabricio Coloccini sitting out the third match of his ban in Gameweek 13. The Newcastle skipper will be followed swiftly through the door by the sheepish pair of Tottenham’s Togolese striker, Emmanuel Adebayor and Fulham’s Texas-born Norwegian, Brede Hangeland, after their game-changing straight red cards bring three game bans that will stretch well into December.

So RMT GW 13 Team.
Jussi
Sagna Rafael Cuellar

Been hanging on to Ba because of good performances but feel like I’m missing out on a season keeper performance from Suarez. Thoughts?
November 19 at 5:12 pm

if you can afford the price difference, definitely. You never know when Newcastle could change formation like last season, but Suarez is clearly their main striker.

applebonkers - sorry for jinxing you Ed says:
hey, watched the full 90mins of west brom v chelsea last night and have some things which may or may not have been picked up on:
1) regarding MATA i think the damage is done, i wouldn’t reassess based on that game, he won’t be going to panama again until february or whenever the next internationals are. within 15 minutes of coming on he’d put sturridge 1 on 1 with the keeper three times (one was wrongly ruled out for offside), this was three times more than anyone, oscar’s nice lay off for a sturridge shot was the only chance created by anyone other than mata while he was on. everytime chelsea got the ball mata was the first pass, almost like they were seeking him out to do something, of course in FPL the last pass is the important one, not the first one, but just how central he was to chelsea’s was quite clear.
2) shane LONG ran the chelsea defence ragged. it’s almost a shame west brom have the luxury of lukaku, odemwingie and gera as options as long really deserves to play 90 every week. although he puts in such titanic shifts you can understand why he comes off early often.
3) MORRISON went down on 58mins and the physio came on, had a chat and sprayed his knee. he looked relatively comfortable the next 10mins but then got taken off. one to monitor ecpecially if it’s the same issue as caused him to miss southampton in gw10.
4) MULUMBU pulled up injured on 80mins after taking a shot. clutching his left hamstring he signalled to be subbed but west brom had already made 3 subs so that’s the only reason he played the full game, he spent the last 10mins hobbling around like a columbian at heathrow with an uncomfortable amount of cocaine shoved his arse. if mulumbu is out that’s a bonus to sunderland next week as he’s a bit of a monster himself alongside yacob.
5) AZPILICUETA looked half decent, expecially delivery wise with his crossing both high and low. with chelsea’s next 3 league games sandwiched by only 2 rest days between each (25th,28th,1st…thirty days has september, april june and november, still right up there with never eat shreaded wheat.. anyway) i wouldn’t feel ovely comfortable with ivanovic any more, azpi is up to speed now and a realistic rotater for the odd game i reckon).

November 19 at 5:09 pm

Nice summary – perhaps you (or anyone) can help me. Can’t decide whether to bring in Mata or Silva would be after this GW either way and (probably) for Bale.
So, Mata or Silva?
November 19 at 5:12 pm
All Up On The Interwebs says:
ideally im looking at both of those after gw 16 or so, plus bale and one of walcott/cazorla. thats a lot of cash in midfield though, but they can all deliver big hauls
November 19 at 5:13 pm
MJ6987 (Atalanta) says:
Nice. But, if you had to choose one?
November 19 at 5:15 pm
All Up On The Interwebs says:
tough call. mata’s fixtures after the blank are simply too hard to ignore. mata for me.
November 19 at 5:14 pm
Bowstring92 - Torino FC representing from Dublin says:
Tough call, I have Mata and don’t feel easy. Would much rather Silva to be honest (I planned to bring him in instead of Walcott this week but needed Arsenal coverage)
November 19 at 5:14 pm
applebonkers - sorry for jinxing you Ed says:
the missed gw looks a pain but i’d always back the goalscorer so therefore mata. i expect silva to be up to top speed now but top speed for him looks to be loads of assists, they never really hurt you too much as a non owner.
November 19 at 5:16 pm
MJ6987 (Atalanta) says:
This is kind of my thinking as well, just woriied about having no City cover as well
November 19 at 5:10 pm
All Up On The Interwebs says:
its a shame sturridge wears his boots on the wrong feet otherwise Mata would’ve had some assists. the thing is mata’s price could drop as many will probably ship him for cazorla or walcott.
November 19 at 5:12 pm
MJ6987 (Atalanta) says:
Are people really that daft?
November 19 at 5:14 pm

yeah i reckon a lot of people react to the gameweek on a one by one basis. if i had mata i wouldnt ship him, but i think the masses will after his 1 pointer.

Best fixtures defensively, not from attacking standpoint. And I have 2 FTs and there’s no 2 ways about this Jelly must go.
Also if I won’t do that I can’t afford Shorey.
November 19 at 5:21 pm

I have Jelly as well but he gets one more week from me, then he goes no matter what.

gotta keep Jelly for 1 more week ………

I want to keep a Jelly for one more week but I have 2FTs and nothing to do!
Look at this dumb bunch:
Begovic

Fellaini/Bale/Mata/Cazorla/Sterling
RVP/Berb/Jelly
Its infuriatingly mediocre this bunch.

dileno says:
When Kagawa is back, he’s a decent differential. Anybody thinking about brining him in since Valencia not firing and Rooney + RvP expensive? Rooney even plays ‘out of position’..
No CL + Kagawa surely must play when he’s fit again.
I’m thinking about downgrading Hazard to Kagawa, freeing up some cash to do Tevez->Aguero or Berbatov->Suarez later on. Thoughts?
November 19 at 5:11 pm
MJ6987 (Atalanta) says:
Nah, there are too many players ahead of him in FPL terms, unless he has a real run of form and looks nailed on
November 19 at 5:14 pm
dileno says:
Like Fellaini, Michu, Nolan, Morrison, you’d argue?
November 19 at 5:30 pm
rdpx says:
I would say all of those plus almost every other midfielder in the game. Kagawa showed up with a lot of hype “ferguson got a bargain there” etc – and he played so far 7 games and got max 7 points, 3.8 PPG – 27 MFs have bettered that PPG so far.
I am amazed that he still has 5.2% ownership. Must be ghost teams right? And its not even like he is cheap. Nothing wrong with either Tevez or Berbatov, and if you want to downgrade Hazard for the cash you really should use that cash to get rid of Hunt. Haz/Hunt to Fletcher or Long and Fellaini or Nolan or something. Gotta get rid of Hunt though.
November 19 at 5:13 pm
1966 was a great year for English football - Eric was born says:
Rooney plays out of position in Kagawa’s best position, though…
I’d be worries that he might play next to Carrick further back, or be shunted out to the left wing.
I had Kagawa at the start, too many

Maloney?
November 19 at 5:19 pm
Hatliz - RIP Rovers :( says:
I am a member, yes. Will read it.
Maloney is a decent shout I guess.
Looking at Puncheon. 4.4 leaves me 1.3 in the bank and he rotates well with the other bargain in my midfield. They have HHAH-H (Puncheon) and AAHAHH (Sterling).
November 19 at 5:22 pm
1966 was a great year for English football - Eric was born says:
Maloney rotates very well with Sterling too. Puncheon is a decent option, though.
November 19 at 5:30 pm
applebonkers - sorry for jinxing you Ed says:
i’m not sure garrido is worth the 0.3 over turner. i think a pretty ropey 3bps the week before (what i call ‘a jenkinson’, aka winning the 0-0 lottery) has helped over-inflate his worth.

November 19 at 5:41 pm

Garrido is getting forward a lot. Potential for more assists (and gaps). 0.3 can be put to work elsewhere of course and Turner might even turn in a corner kick again.

Could happen

I’m hoping for 0-0, or 1-0 West Ham with Nolan the only goalscorer. Though, with my luck this week it’ll finish 1-1 and Nolan will either be anonymous or get sent off.

November 19 at 5:28 pm

maloney seems more secure minutes wise but fixture wise you’d back puncheon. he was ludicrously involved v QPR. if it really is just the next few gameweeks puncheon, anything more than say 3 gameweeks then maloney
November 19 at 5:28 pm
Hatliz - RIP Rovers :( says:
I’m leaning towards Puncheon. Cheaper, could rise and rotates well with Sterling.

WTF!? You crazy? Hell no!
November 19 at 5:32 pm
ScoutCast not pearls before swine says:
My reasoning: United’s slaughter of QPR is going to biblical. Like 5+ goals. And I think they’ll smash West Ham as well. I think Tevez will only get one start in the next two and in the long term I want Aguero of the two and it will be an easy swap with Rooney.
November 19 at 5:35 pm

November 19 at 5:25 pm
applebonkers - sorry for jinxing you Ed says:
regarding tevez, surely i’m not alone in was planning to sell after villa but now is struggling?
come round to thinking away at chelsea is not too bad a fixture for attackers right now, no clean sheet for 8 games, 10 in all comps, shipped 3 v man utd, 2 v tottenham etc. the danger game for tevez i think is the one which may have stood out as the best and that’s wigan after chelsea. wigan is on the 28th, with chelsea on the 25th and everton on the 1st. i think wigan looks like dzeko o’clock, then after that regarding tevez you have nicely spread out games until christmas, the only issue being 15 and 16 is EVE, MUN.
it’s really really really hard to sell tevez, even harder than it was for rvp as he only cost 9mil
November 19 at 5:26 pm
Scraftius Maximus says:
I was worried about him and thinking that in the coming weeks i’ll review his position, but now it seems he far too good and far too important to City to drop him.
November 19 at 5:29 pm
ScoutCast not pearls before swine says:
I think that Aguero is going to be worth extra two million. I imagine he’ll get a few more minutes and won’t always give up penalties. I’m grabbing Rooney for the next two-three and then making the swap to Aguero.
November 19 at 5:34 pm
applebonkers - sorry for jinxing you Ed says:
it’s basically the same as the start of the season. aguero will blatantly score more goals than tevez but 2mil more? debateable as tevez does so well with assists to bridge the gap.
yeah wouldnt worry about tevez taking any pens off aguero, will only happen if they win 2 in a game, and if balotelli is off the pitch. i quite like it as a tacitc, stops all the second guessing and over-thinking you get when a guy is taking his 2nd penalty v the same keeper
November 19 at 5:31 pm
Santiagounreal - BAines OUT! says:
The big question for me is Silva or Tevez…both the same price…but Tevez is goals, Silva is patience…but then I don’t really want a rotation hell striker.
November 19 at 5:31 pm
1966 was a great year for English football - Eric was born says:
I just hope City can cling on in the Champions’ League for a while longer. It’s a bit easier for me cos it would take a real goal-crazy rampage from Suarez for me to even consider buying him.
November 19 at 5:32 pm
bennydebull says:
Next week suarez will draw a blank, Jelly will get a hat trick and torres will rediscover his liverpool form. And the knee-jerking crowd will panic buy again. I trust more in looking at how good the player is. Tevez is a very good and dangerous player in a top team and is fixture proof. He’s only missed one start (despite how a load of bods on here seem to think he’s been benched every other week) and for his price fits nicely without destroying your midfield. Keep him
November 19 at 5:39 pm
rdpx says:
a Jelavic hattrick would calm my nerves.
November 19 at 5:37 pm

November 19 at 5:26 pm

Bale or Silva?
November 19 at 5:29 pm

Silva will be more consistent, Bale will be more explosive. I think they will end the season on similar points (from here on out anyway as Silva was injured)
November 19 at 5:34 pm
IL Fantasista says:
I agree. Still I think City coverage is more important and Silva less prone to blanks. Also the .3 difference in price could come handy…

get rid of one Cazorla and get Mata or Silva,
OR try and find the funds for Suarez, his scoring aint over!

Going to take a 24 point hit in order to bring in these guys:
Federici Jussi
Cuellar Garrido Nelsen Clyne Davies
Mata Hazard Bale Silva Walcott
Tevez Suarez Kone
Suicidal?
I kind of like the look of this team . The reason i invested so little in my defense is due to the inability of Big teams to keep clean sheets this season .

A 24 point hit that ends with no RVP?
Pass.
November 19 at 5:35 pm
Adam West says:
There is no way of justifying anything over an 8 pt hit. 2) your taking a hit and bringing in no Utd Coverage

Suicidal for 24.

24 point hit is MENTAL …. IMO
a -4 hit by getting rid of Torres & Mata/Hazard >>>> RVP and another …. easy

Red corner. Suarez is more important to Liverpool than Tevez is to City.

Suarez never gets 3 bonus pts because he misses all the time.

I’m asking myself the same question and I honestly can’t remember why I got him. It surprises me every time I open my team page.

Locarno says:
Gerrard out, Johnson in, to give me cash to get Rooney in.
Therefore breaking my “I’m never buying Rooney” policy.
November 19 at 5:40 pm
1966 was a great year for English football - Eric was born says:
Not sure it’s the best time to be breaking that policy. Probably off pens after his miss v Arsenal, playing deeper (could even play out on the left if Fergie wants to play RVP and Hernandez up top), not scoring many anyway.
No way you can afford RVP?
November 19 at 5:42 pm
Locarno says:
Don’t want RVP. Unbalances my team too much.
We all saw against Norwich who United were missing, and if they’re serious about a title tilt, Rooney is going to be at his best.
Might just swap Gerrard for Valencia to get some United coverage in.
November 19 at 5:47 pm
1966 was a great year for English football - Eric was born says:
You don’t reckon RVP over Rooney is a better use of cash than AJ over someone like Puncheon / Maloney / Sterling?
November 19 at 5:50 pm

AJ’s my skipper in the DGW…

Such a maverick
November 19 at 5:43 pm
Adam West says:
He is not off pens after Arsenal miss 100 % sure of that. Fergie said he would have to improve his conversion percentage and he took one vs braga on wed after. Hernandez will play midweek as rooney and r.v.p are being rested for the league.
November 19 at 5:49 pm
1966 was a great year for English football - Eric was born says:
Ah, did he, been on honeymoon so missed the past couple of weeks’ games. Was RVP on the pitch at the time?
RVP is a much better penalty taker than Rooney, anyway!
November 19 at 5:41 pm
Nopli-Unleashthedrog says:
You had Gerrard x-)

ScoutCast not pearls before swine says:
Whoo hooo, join me! Hopefully down to 11.7 after tonight, it’s is a steal.
November 19 at 5:41 pm
dinsdale43 says:
The only way around trying to decide between Suarez and Tevez I fear, is to put them both in and downgrade Baines to a Mertersacker/Ridgewell type…
November 19 at 5:42 pm
Santiagounreal - BAines OUT! says:
I’m going to do a risky thing by transferring out Riise tonight for Garrido even though it’s Cuellar I want to play this weekend. I have 2FT so I’m going to save one just in case there’s any injuries in the champions league etc.
Makes sense right? I can do Demel > Cuellar when I get the all clear.
November 19 at 5:48 pm
MJ6987 (Atalanta) says:
Makes little sense to me tbh. Why not just wait until after the midweek games?
November 19 at 5:48 pm
Santiagounreal - BAines OUT! says:
Because I have 2FT and Garrido is rising tonight.
November 19 at 5:51 pm
MJ6987 (Atalanta) says:
Are you that desperate to catch a 0.1 rise? And, anyway, Garrido? I know he got an assist at the weekend, but its his first all season and surely you have better thing to use transfers on?
November 19 at 5:54 pm
Santiagounreal - BAines OUT! says:
It’s about having the most nailed on defender for Norwich at a cheap price and I make money out of it. It’s part of the masterplan.

You still have Baines.
