Suspensions

The Suspension Tightrope – Gameweek 15

There were 30 yellow cards flashed across the weekend’s nine fixtures but not one resulted in a suspension. With five new faces clambering aboard over Saturday and Sunday, the Tightrope now has 21 players sitting just one booking shy of a single-match ban as the busy festive period kicks in.

Chelsea’s Diego Costa, Newcastle midfielder Vurnon Anita, Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse and West Brom midfield duo Craig Gardner and James McClean were the latest additions, with the latter escaping with just a yellow for a reckless high challenge on Tottenham’s Mousa Dembele.

Discussing the incident with the press post-match, Baggies boss Tony Pulis hinted that the winger was somewhat fortunate not to be sent packing:

“It was a reckless challenge. He shouldn’t be doing things like that, it’s not allowed in the modern game and he’s got to be careful. He just sees the ball, he is one of those people that if the ball was in front of a brick wall he would throw himself in to try and win the challenge. He’s not a nasty guy, there’s none of that about him, but he has to be careful”.

As a result of the weekend activity, seven sides – Bournemouth, Newcastle, Southampton, Stoke, Spurs, Watford and West Brom – now have a couple of players apiece with four cautions to their names.

Our Tightrope protagonists still sit some way behind Norwich’s Alex Tettey, though, who leads the way on seven bookings for the season after incurring the referee’s wrath during the 2-0 loss at Watford.

Just behind Tettey, there are now four players on six yellow cards. Stoke’s Erik Pieters, Liverpool duo James Milner and Lucas and Newcastle’s Jack Colback are the men concerned, with the latter two picking up cautions this weekend.

Lucas’ yellow card means that Liverpool have now earned 33 cautions in the Premier League alone – that’s on a par with West Brom and just two behind Tottenham in top spot.

Finally, four players will be available for action this weekend after serving one-match bans. Liverpool’s Emre Can, Villa’s Ciaran Clark, West Brom’s Claudio Yacob and Palace’s Wilfried Zaha toppled off last week’s Tightrope, with Can earning his fifth yellow in the midweek cup win at Southampton. Zaha, of course, will serve his ban tomorrow night as the Eagles roll up to Everton.

This means that, at present, there are no players set to serve suspensions in Gameweek 16. Palace’s Yohan Cabaye and Everton’s James McCarthy could yet succumb to the lure of the Tightrope, though – they head into tomorrow’s match at Goodison on four bookings apiece.

Finally, reports this evening suggest that United’s Bastian Schweinsteiger could face retrospective action for an alleged elbowing incident involving West Ham’s Winston Reid at Old Trafford yesterday. It’s believed that referee Mark Clattenburg and his assistants missed the altercation, with the FA set to contact the whistler before making a decision. Marouane Fellaini is likely to escape punishment for an alleged stamp on James Tomkins during the goalless draw.

    When all is said and done tonight, just under 4% of the top 10k are getting Mahrez off the bench 🙁

      I think even a brace from Lukaku might not be enough for me to keep the small green arrow 🙁

      And Butland?

        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        There'll be a few of those too.

        Begovic 2% started, McCarthy 1% started.

            Can't have guys on my team who gets goals disallowed. It's inefficient.
            Much like spending 6 goals vs Soton where 2 will do

        to be fair Janmaat stopped playing and Moreno just swung a boot, neither of thee things may have happened if flag stays down

        1. Siva Mohan
          • 12 Years

          but Moreno started celebrating.. did he see the linesman before the volley/shot/cross?

    Let's have a small non-football debate...Heathrow or Gatwick for expansion, and why?

    I'm firmly in the Heathrow camp, think it'll be better to maintain one main airport hub instead of two, although Gatwick would be much cheaper...

    1. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Neither. We need to be flying less, not more.

      1. @ocprodigy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Ideologistic idea, if we want to continue growing as a country and maintain a strong economy. That means more flying, for shipping alongside business. Not feasible without.

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I've got 5000 words on this. Heathrow because it just makes more sense to have one hub airport.

      https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9NtsCWoUxo5Rm9TdS1uRXlHeFk/view?usp=sharing

      1. @ocprodigy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Nice I'll have a read!

          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          It's a little dated (Dec 2012) but the core arguments stay the same, but with Crossrail and HS2 adding even further weight to the hub argument. Against it I think the plans for runway 3 are a longer runway (4km vs 2.5km) now and some rerouting/tunnelling required for the M25 but I think its still the best option.

    2. Zod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Gatwick because there's a lot more room for growth there.

      1. @ocprodigy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Agreed there is much more room, but two major airport hubs would become confusing. Airlines wouldn't like it much either, having to separate more planes between the two.

          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Airlines would more likely consolidate at one airport each, probably with the premium long haulers basing at Heathrow with their better connectivity and established market presence while smaller/budget airlines will try to make a big thing over Gatwick. Crossrail/HS2 connectivity and BA's huge presence there will add to the cache and Heathrow would stay more expensive in terms of take off slot prices which'll be passed on to the long haulers as they already are to a fair extent anyway.

    3. A.T

      Heathrow. My income depends on it.

  5. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Sorry if I sound like a broken record but really need opinions.

    Which pair is better?

    A. Kane, Stanislas
    B. Iglaho, Ramsey

    Haz KDB Ozil Mahrez ____
    Vardy Lukaku ____

    1. HVT
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Atm B

      1. HVT
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Tho his fixtures are turning while Arries are decent!

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Hoe about Deeney? Cheaper and easier to bench, maybe.

        1. Joey_Soccer
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I'm with you.

          Always scoring pen's lately

        2. HVT
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          I'd go Ighalo over Troy,
          Who you selling btw?

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            My GW1 pair whom I brought back again with GW9 WC.

            The legendary MANE and PELLE 😆

            1. HVT
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Unlucky, on paper looked good and may yet but we deal in the present.
              Personally I went Kane (c) Newc fwiw Nabil.

    2. Sjaugen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      A for the next month
      B for the next GW

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        How about next year? 😛 I know, I know

        1. Sjaugen
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Nope. I'm in denial. Got both Iggy at 5.0 and Vardy at 6.0.
          I got so tired at benching Iggys points, so I sold him over playing him

    3. Eze Really?
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Don't like Stanislas

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Me too. But it's for bench warming duty of course

        1. Eze Really?
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah but as a rule of thumb always have 3 good forwards. so I understand Stanislas. can you afford Alli?

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            Yes I can, 7.0 max.

            Heck I can even get Deulofeu or Shaqiri - but that would mean headaches every week lol

            1. Eze Really?
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              Maybe now its good to have 5 mids. Xmas injury toll could save you a tfr.

              1. NABIL - FPL otai
                • 12 Years

                Yeah considered that factor. B is the smart way to go.

    4. FortunesAlwaysHiding

      B I reckon

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I like B too, would you go Deeney over Iggy?

        1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Possibly. Not much between them now I reckon. Deeney foes have pens. Possibly missed the boat on Ighalo.

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            I have there's another room for me 🙁

            I might bench the selected WAT striker on most weeks from now on anyway, given their tough schedule. Troy might edge it for me.

  6. Joey_Soccer

      The latter. Silva doesnt seem quite with it yet.

      1. Joey_Soccer
        • 8 Years

    2. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Silva

      1. Joey_Soccer
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Not sure.

        Hasn't be very involved in game-play up front lately.

        Mostly creating it from midfield and letting the attackers do the rest

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Silva since you got him.

      I'd recommend getting rid of him so you can play Toby.

        Indeed they are. I just assume when someone asks they want the members stats.

          Probably. To be honest I hadn't noticed it was dejoey vu or i wouldn't have helped haha

      Try google mate, you'll find plenty of statistical info on the game there or just MOTD,
      It doesn't work like that here.

    Really don't know what to do with this bunch. Can't call anything right at the moment.

    Butland
    Bellerin Bertrand Kolarov
    Hazard Ozil Firmino Mahrez
    Lukaku Vardy Kane

    McCarthy Williams Francis Westwood

    Thinking I should finally get rid of Williams with my FT this week, who is the best option?

    I have 3.8m ITB. Or should I save?

    1. Trae44
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Toby or Moreno

    As i didnt have access to internet over the weekend, i just wanted to say that i feel robbed by that "offside" goal by moreno. Must have been done to death, but still. Would have massively improved my below average GW. But, life goes on. Would be also first defender to score a goal for me this season. Just wasnt meant to be.

    Oh well, on to the next one.

    1. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      theres always hard luck stories, Mahrez 2nd goal offside

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Yea, oh well. Just waiting for that first non-OG from my defense this season. Hopefully it comes next week. Need to see MoTD or something, since i was watching UTD - WHU due to being televised.

    KDB or Silva?

    Why? (Does KDB play higher up the park then Silva?, due to this is he more involved in attacking play?)

            Spamming the same question isn't going to get you very far on here. We have loads of helpful posts willing to answer questions but you have to give a little back and be patient with answers.

              Sometimes the nuance of answering a question can be misinterpreted. Not looking to fight but often answers show a little impatience. Easy to do on a chat sire. Lets move on. cheers guys.

      Last season, I managed to improve my OR and learn a lot by just read the comments in this forum. This season I go further by doing my own research with internet, I think this is the way to learn. I am still a beginner, but it helps me to understand more and I enjoy this game with my own research.

      Still KDB for me. Want to see more from how Silva is going to fit back in. Both probably good options long term.

        Oops! Misread, thought the captaincy.

    1. Sjaugen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Way high. Effective ownership over 100% this GW in the top 10k

        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        and 58% in OR

  13. ShaunGoater123

    36 with Lukaku (C) & Bolasie to go.

    Anyone do any worse?!

    1. Sjaugen
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Yup, my Mexico mates have you beaten. Key words: Mahrez benching

      1. Jaunty Jonty
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Did the same thing.
        But
        Coutinho was on the pitch.
        I've never been so happy to have a 8m+ midfielder not play.

    2. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      of course people did worse

    3. Scoredelario
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Lukaku might get a hattrick yet

    5. SpaceCadet

      27 with lukaku left. Beat that

    I have the exact money to do Mane & Vardy > Barkley & Aguero.

    Barkley, with his 38% ownership, won't help me climb out of the bad-rank-doldrums but Aguero might. I missed all the footie this weekend though; are City as out of sorts as that result suggests?

    Alternatively, I could hold onto the bargainous toerag Vardy and pick up some more exciting midfield differentials like Silva and Ramsey.

    Any ideas to help me decide?

    1. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      Hey cwazy wabbit. Get Ramsey I reckon after CL.

      1. roscola
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Hey Christina. Cheers, his numbers look great, that's for sure. That move would price me out of Vardy > Aguero. Who else would you consider? Ayew is making a right smell and needs to leave.

    2. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      well Aguero's health is shrouded in mystery, suggests injury worse than first thought

      1. roscola
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Oh, really? That's ominous.

    3. HVT
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Honestly Ross, Id give Aguero more time.
      I could regret saying this but I value
      Lukaku/Vardy/Ighalo/Kane over him right now.

      1. roscola
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I think you're probably right, Eoin. I think it's just desperation for a get rich quick scheme. Aguero in his prime is exactly that but I think I know in my heart that he isn't anywhere near his prime at the moment.

      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Bony was crap up top which bodes well for Aguero storming back. OTOH Ramsey was awesome for Arsenal, lead the league on a lot of stats this weekend.

      1. UCL Fantasy
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        I saw your post earlier about having Lukaku, Sturridge and Aguero.

        I have the money to have this front line too - so tempting 🙂 Could even afford to have Kane instead of Lukaku.

        Would need to keep Lanzini as 4th mid though

          • 11 Years
          8 years, 11 months ago

          Already on Studger, Kane, Lukaku, with 8.7m itb 😆

          I can do Lukaku -> Aguero and still afford Bolasie -> Walcott and Phil Jones -> Smalldini 😀

          1. Sjaugen
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 11 months ago

            What's your feeling towards getting Kun for the weekend?
            Given that he plays 60min + in CL

            Vardy CHE Lukaku nor Kane SWA - one of these needs to go for me. Leaving it to Friday here

              • 11 Years
              8 years, 11 months ago

              its tricky, Kane would be first on my exit list as I think Son Heung Min is bad for his output but I wouldn't want to ditch unless I was certain Aguero would get 90 and I had no other fires.

    4. UCL Fantasy

      Ramsey looks like a great pick

      1. UCL Fantasy
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        2.6% ownership mmmmmmmmmm

      2. roscola
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers, Andy. Yeah, his numbers are stunning. Slight worry about fixtures but that shouldn't matter for a one-time big hitter like him.

    5. FPL Blow-In

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        And Agueros fitness is still a worry. I would wait on those transfers tbh mate

    6. S.Kuqi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Well I'm getting Aguero for Vardy. The way Swans has played can see another 25 pointter for him if fit. Kun is differential atm. Get him before masses do

      1. roscola
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        You could be right. Such a risk though. And can't get Ramsey as well without a hit. Hmm.

    7. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'm in the same boat. Rival has Lukaku and Ighalo. I'm thinking Kane and Aguero are the only hope I have of making up 100 points or so. I can't see how I can afford not to have Kun unfortunately.

      He's one of these with a well balanced team - no Kun/Sanchez/KdB - and he's absolutely rinsing it!

      1. roscola
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        As above though, I do worry that Aguero is a get-rich-quick scheme designed to entrap the desperate (us).

    I've held on to Sanchez all this time. Last week in was waiting on Coutinho. Now I am considering Ramsey with his midweek game to come.

    Is it crazy that I'm holding through all this value loss? What would you do? Buy Ramsey early or keep shedding the pounds ?

    1. Rhinos
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      if youve held this long id wait, especially for Arsenal assets

      1. Rhinos
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        dont think Ramsey will rise at least

      2. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        Thanks for advice. I know that is the logical decision. I just hope team value doesnt play a major role in my and of season!

        I'm kind of relying on cheapies to keep doing well in the future

    2. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      I'd wait bud, it's probably worth 0.1 just to know that Ramsey is fit knowing his injury history. He looks such a great differential at the moment though

    Having a mare of a season.

    Thinking Tadic + Rojo > Ozil + Moreno is the smartest -4 I'll ever make?

    Bego - Hennessey
    Kolarov - Bellerin - Rojo - Bertrand - Nyom
    Hazard - Mahrez - Eriksen - Tadic - Surman
    Aguero - Lukaku - Ighalo

    1. ShaunGoater123

    I might play Simpson instead as he's had cleanies and Chelsea aren't very good, and roll over a transfer? I need to sell Saylor, Westwood, Mata and Benteke out for Xmas!

    Think i've well and truly missed the Ozil boat, thinking of mane >:

    a) Ramsey
    b) Theo

    Which would you prefer?

    1. hannesdela
      • 13 Years

      Just go for Özil, he's outstanding.

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 11 months ago

        i know i really should.

        Problem is I would have to take Haz out for him (really should have put Ozil in this week instead of him!) and I'd rather move Mane on i think.

    Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is eyeing a reunion with former Borussia Dortmund midfielder Kevin Grosskreutz, reports The Metro.

    The 27-year-old utility man is enduring a turgid spell at current club Galatasaray, with documentation problems leaving him ineligible to play for the Turkish club until January.

    The Metro reports the Germany international has grown restless with the issue in Turkey and is prepared to make the switch to Anfield in January.

  25. hannesdela
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Mané or Ayew out for Mahrez?

    Or are Leicester's fixtures too harsh the coming weeks for the magic Algerian?

    1. Trae44
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Ayew, and no

    2. The Dribbler
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      Get rid of Ayew. I think Mane's fixtures are better over the next 6 or so weeks. Tegardless of fixtures, keep the Algerian.

    3. ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 11 months ago

      out of those two, i'd remove Ayew.

      Mahrez really is exceptional, my only worry as you say is now the fixtures turn will he keep it up. Personally I would still do the transfer.

      Won't be in a rush to get rid - still has some lovely fixtures.
