The Suspension Tightrope – Galling

A couple of Frenchman are set for a short stint on the sidelines after falling foul of the referee’s wrath over the weekend’s fixtures. Mathieu Debuchy and Mathieu Flamini received their fifth yellow cards of the campaign, meaning both are set to serve a one-match suspension in Gameweek 12:

Debuchy’s caution in Newcastle’s 1-0 win at White Hart Lane will force him out of the upcoming home game against Norwich as Alan Pardew’s side go in search of a third successive clean sheet. The right-back’s absence is a real blow to the Tyneside team – he has played every minute of the season so far, though the versatile Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa could deputise, allowing fit-again Fabricio Coloccini the chance to slot in alongside Mike Williamson in the heart of the backline.

Flamini has certainly show a flair for racking up the cards since returning to the Emirates this summer. The holding midfielder has received five cautions in just 511 minutes’ game time – his absence for the upcoming visit of Southampton should see Aaron Ramsey shift back into the double-pivot alongside Mikel Arteta, after the Welshman was moved to the right flank once again away to United yesterday.

The Suspension Tightrope welcomed a number of new faces in the Gameweek gone by. West Brom duo Jonas Olsson and Claudio Yacob, Hull’s defensive rock Curtis Davies, Fulham’s Scott Parker, Chelsea right-back Branislav Ivanovic and Norwich’s Michael Turner all climbed aboard on Saturday. Sunday’s matches saw Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere, Spurs centre-half Michael Dawson, City’s Javi Garcia, United utility man Phil Jones, Stoke centre-half Robert Huth, Swansea pair Chico and Angel Rangel and Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko also earn their fourth bookings of the season.

Only four clubs – Liverpool, Cardiff, Palace and Southampton – are not represented in the updated widget on your sidebar, which now heaves under the weight of 23 players.

In terms of ongoing suspensions, Sunderland pair Andreas Dossena and Lee Cattermole will sit out the second of a three-match ban in the upcoming round of matches– both will be available for the Gameweek 14 visit of Chelsea. Swansea stopper Michel Vorm makes a return after serving a one-match ban in Sunday’s 3-3 draw with Stoke.

  Didn't Phil Bardsley score against him from a tight angle over the weekend?
  That's never a good thing to happen to a keeper with an unsecure spot in the team.

    I see your point but he could hardy be criticised for that goal, I think Bardsley actually aimed wider and mishit it, nothing he could do in my view.

    Over the course of the season -- yes, though Benteke arrived late. He also had a stretch after Christmas in which he was simply sensational. I wonder if this profitable run of fixtures would provide him with the opportunity to do something similar. If Gabriel A and Andreas W are back, I may be tempted. That said, Romelu L has been in my list of 'a season keeper' so I am not sure I am ready to jerk him out just yet on the back of two blanks and a potentially tough fixture coming up.

  Not sure this will improve your team, I would wait for benteke to get back to form. Some players take a while to get back in the groove after injuries (e.g Rooney), some are like they have never been away. We don't know which benteke is yet

  Probably not
  Can you do it with aguero instead?
  I would prob hold benteke now you have him, give him a chance. Rooney ticks along nicely but aguero meets the premium striker requirements of decent consistency and explosive potential and bullies weaker teams which is great for choosing a captain
  Barkley needs to go, think there may be better options than arnie. Perhaps Morrison can fund the extra you need for aguero?
  Very to rat is a big trade down but if you need the money you need the money. He seems nailed on in a decent defence. V

Spent the last hour catching up on about half a day's worth of comments. Granville had some good ones in there.

Got 10 days to think about, but feel fairly convinced:
- I'm not getting Walcott 😯
- I'm bringing in a defender for a hit late next week 😯

Tis all my own shock.

Now I have to wrestle my son back into bed and make him sleep, as I've been remiss for an hour in getting him to do so.

  I'm still coming to terms with the fact that West Brom are good enough that people are considering McAuley, Ridgewell, Sessegon & Amalfitano, yet the team essentially has no striker. Now you add another name. That's 5.
  
  Perhaps a decent side?
  
  Hmmmm.
  
  Certainly a better investment than the ship of fools alighting around the Newcastle.

    I really rate Steve Clarke, following his career closely. Also, looking for a Barkley replacement. While they look like a big threat from set-pieces, thought I should hop onto Brunt / Amalfi.
    
    Seem to remember Brunt takes penos over Long, amirite? that would swing it.

        Does it have formation restrictions, i.e. you have to play 3 defenders? I would definitely play all three of those options ahead of Sissoko, probably even Amalfitano.
