Suspensions

Can FPL players still get a ban for yellow card accumulation?

In this regular article, we look at the latest Fantasy Premier League (FPL) disciplinary situation.

And we bring you good news, for once: not one player can now pick up a ban for yellow card accumulation.


WHEN ARE THE CUT-OFF POINTS FOR SUSPENSIONS?

The table above is taken from the Football Association website and details the cut-off points for the various yellow card thresholds.

Every team has now contested 32 fixtures.


THE RACE TO (AVOID) 15 BOOKINGS

The next target to avoid for Premier League players is 15 bookings by the end of the campaign.

Joelinton (£6.0m) can still reach that number but any suspension he picks up would be served in 2023/24.

    Good morning, folks!

    Back underway with the GW33 press conferences today (all times in BST):

    9am - Silva
    10am - Smith
    1pm - Gracia
    1.30pm - Hodgson, Cooper, Lopetegui
    2.15pm - Emery

      Cheers Neale, I missed these midweek GWs, always a fun level of panic with post-deadline pressers

        Yeah and there's a good chance we won't hear from some managers ahead of the deadline. Six clubs playing on Thursday so most will likely speak on Wednesday, although there may be one or two of those tomorrow.

    Nacho could be gold this week and a nice enabler for those wanting to get Salah. Good fixture in 34(EVE) as well.

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Don't see much reason to go Nacho over Isak atm.

      Isak also has 2 great games and has a DGW in 36 as well.

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      Keep an eye on Barnes and Vardy injury update

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Problem with the enabler is will you start him? I think you either want someone like Isak who you'll play, or just downgrade completely and perma-bench

    4. Bobby_Baggio
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Fair point but there are other fwds i'd prefer. Nacho is too short term for me

  3. Ruudy Van
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    On WC33 BB34.

    Will have DDG Rash March Mitoma as other doubles.

    A) Estup & Martial
    B) Shaw & Welbeck
    C) Estup & Isak
    D) shaw & isak

    1. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years

      D

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years

      D

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Isak for sure. With United's defensive injuries Shaw may play in the middle more (although he got forward a lot from there in Sunday) so i'd be tempted to go C

    4. Bobby_Baggio
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      C or D more on C as utd defence are awful

    5. MightyGar
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      C

    6. Big Mike
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Dalot and Isak

  4. Kno
    • 13 Years

    Thinking about getting aboard the salah bus a week earlier then planned, would you drop saka or martinelli?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Saka

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Saka. Yes he's more nailed blah blah, but Martinelli comfortably matching him and you can almost certainly use that £2m difference elsewhere

    3. Big Mike
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yep, Saka

  5. Tonyawesome69
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    If Bruno is an issue (may have picked up a knock) for 33, who would you start?

    1. Toney (A v che)
    2. Botman (A v eve)
    3. Shaw (A v TOT)

    Kepa
    Tripper TAA Estupinan
    Saka March Bruno Rashford Mitoma
    Haaland Watkins
    (Raya Toney Botman Shaw)

    1. marcos11
      • 3 Years

      1

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      1 - neither Newcastle or United as solid at the back as they have been, especially away from home.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Wondering if I should hedge my bets and start Raya over Kepa

    3. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      1. I'm starting him too for one last time before selling

  6. marcos11

    1 year, 1 month ago

    Steele
    Trippier Chilwell Estu
    Bruno Saka Rashford Mitoma
    Haaland Watkins Toney
    Raya Marti Ake Pinnock

    1ft 2.4itb
    Plan was Bruno/Toney > Salah/Isak but I’m now short with Isak’s price rises, who’s the best alternative? Thinking Solanke.

  7. sentz05
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Kepa Iversen
    Tripper TAA Estupinan Mings Pinnock
    Saka Martinelli Mitoma Maddison Andreas
    Haaland Watkins Kane

    FH in 34 so have to burn a transfer 1 FT

    Which transfer would you make to prepare for DGW 36 and 37?

    1. AARON-1
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Maddison to Rashford?

  8. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Saka to Salah -4?
    Right bench?

    Kepa
    Tripp/Estupinan/Shaw
    Saka*/Grealish/Martinelli/Rashford
    Haaland/Watkins/Isak

    Raya/March/Chilwell/Botman

    1. Big Mike
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes and yes.

  9. tbos83
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Was planning to roll ft but would you move early on Kane > Jota?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I can see Kane getting a goal vs United. Jota a rotation risk. That said, I am thinking about it myself....

      1. tbos83
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yeah - mainly nervous in case Pool explode again (currently have no Pool players).

  10. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I think i'm doing Saka to Salah this week and taking a hit to fund it. Will want to make a FT in 34 as well so might as well get the hit over with. I think the options are:

    a. Kane to Isak
    b. Kane to Jota (probably moving on to Isak by 36)
    c. Kane to fodder (means I don't have to choose between benching Rashford/Martinelli in 33 and between Watkins/Martinelli in 34)

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B - attack both Liverpool and Newcastle doubles

    2. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I did A but only to be able to afford Trent for dgw34.

      If that's not an issue for you then B is probably the best option

  11. Bobby_Baggio
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Morning all. WC time and want to max BB34. Fill the gaps please? Thanks.

    DDG - ______
    TAA - ______ - ______ - ______ - Estupinan
    Grealish - Salah - March - Rashford - Mitoma
    Haaland - Iask - Jota

    A) Iversen - Schar - Akanji - Dalot
    B) Edersen - Botman - Coufal - Dalot
    C) Iversen - Trippier - Coufal - Akanji
    D) Anything else with 18.7m to spend.

    1. MightyGar
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      C

      I am currently on this combo (and exactly the same team)

    2. JayKay1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Same team as me, I've gone Iverson, Shaw, Stones, Coufal...

  12. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Start Saka or Toney this week? Currently on Toney.

    1. Fellaini's Fro
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Same, benching Saka.

  13. tim
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    On wc, best goalie duo for the rest of the season?

  14. boc610
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    haaland still most captained in gameweeks he's not even playing...a reminder that people really dont care abut this game as much as you think

  15. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Who do you think will score more ?

    A Grealish (ARS)
    B Rashford (tot)
    C March (nfo)
    D Mac Allister (nfo)

    1. CheesyGonzalez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B

    2. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Got a good feeling Grealish will. All very decent options! Rashford 2nd for me

    4. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      If Tottenham maintain their current form it has to be Rashford

    5. Big Mike
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A. I'd give Rashy a few more weeks before he's back to his best.

  16. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Martinez
    Stones Trippier Moreno
    Rashford Saka Grealish Mitoma
    Haaland Wilson Watkins
    (Steele MacAllister TAA Shaw)

    Few dilemmas, which haven't been helped after the weekend fixtures:

    A) Martinez over Steele? (Decision may be made for me, or I may have no keeper)
    B) Unsure on playing Moreno, was subbed for Digne at 65mins but only about 76hrs between Saturday and tomorrow's game, worried the opposite will happen
    C) With Veltman back I definitely want to play MacAllister but not sure who to drop. Nearly tempted by Rashford after the 120mins yesterday and he hasn't looked the best since his return either. Also a bit worried MacAllister may get a rest after yesterday himself given Enciso is there
    D) Should I do Saka to Salah this week or roll FT and do it next week? Leaning next week

    Think I'm set on playing Wilson, I think he'll play given the short turnaround (and even shorter between Everton and Soton) so I'm just going to chance that, has a good record against Everton too (6 goals in 5)

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A - may need to wait for the pressers
      B - I'd start Trent over Moreno
      C - I am also leaning to benching Rashford. Scoring record away from home isn't all that great either and for all the reasons you mentioned it might not be a good one for him. But a lot of those apply to Brighton as well, albeit that Rashford gets more rest with the Thursday game.
      D - Only reason I'm going this week is that I think I want to add Chilwell to Trent so I'll take a hit before 34 in any case. Would probably be tempted to roll and do it next week.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Cheers for the reply!

    2. The Mentaculus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A) Not much in it, but Steele I think
      B) Suspect the subbing might have been to keep him fresh for midweek, but if unsure Trent is fine - will surely concede but I think you play him as an attacker.
      C) I reckon Enciso will be needed up front if Welbeck has a knock (as it looked) & Ferguson isn't ready, especially since Undav was pretty poor. I would definitely start Mac & expect him to play the 10 role.
      D) Think I would get Salah now, but rolling is fine. Can see goals for Arsenal & Saka may be up against a rusty Laporte (or if you're really lucky, Gomez! But I doubt that)

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate. Think I'm going to roll FT, figure I'll hope Wilson starts and then if he does I'll use the other FT to move to Isak, if not then I'll hope he plays v Soton next week. Feels like the latter will happen and I'll just be saying until GW38 "he has to be due to start" 😛

  17. House Frey Wedding Planner
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Bench one:

    A - Grealish
    B - March

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      March

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Tough. I wonder if some Brighton players will be given a bit of a rest. I would still bench a I think

  18. bigdip
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    WC activated (using TC in DG34). Team gtg or any obvious changes to make? (only 0.1m itb).

    Johnstone Iversen
    Trippier TAA Toti Akanji Dalot
    Rashford Grealish Salah Mitoma March
    Haaland Jota Isak

    I wanted DDG or Estupian instead of Johnstone or Toti but I would need to sacrifice Rashford for an Eriksen for that to happen. Thoughts?

  19. estheblessed
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    WC33 and BB34. Hows it looking for a first pass?

    Steele
    Mings, AA, Akaji
    Salah, Rashford, Grealish, Mitoma
    Haaland, Jota, Watkins

    DDG, Andreas, Shaw, Estupian

    1. CheesyGonzalez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Looking decent, a couple things I'd consider is Steele being nailed and I reckon Grealish and Rashford both a risk of being rested,

      1. estheblessed
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Good point. Mahrez could be a good alternative?

        1. CheesyGonzalez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 2 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          It's a tough one because the only midfielders that I would say is nailed every game for city are Rodri and Gundo. Grealish is probably a safe bet but don't think he'll play both games in the double

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Watkins ain't making my WC tbh.

      1. Ask Yourself
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        In fairness as scary as this GW could be he probably wouldn’t make mine either it’s only the Fulham and wolves game I’d actually want him for so if on BB there are better options

        1. estheblessed
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Was thinking of playing him for the Fulham game and using my FT for him to someone else...

          1. BHA_Seagull
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            I'm on WC BB34 and have Watkins as placeholder for Jota next week

  20. CheesyGonzalez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Which 2 do I start out of; Trippier, Estu, Gabriel and Williams

    1. Dotherightthing
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      First 2 I’d say

      1. CheesyGonzalez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Was definitely thinking Trippier but not sure bewtween estu and williams, Williams looked good against Liv and Estu just played 120 mins

  21. Dotherightthing
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Need a cheap striker to enable Kane to Salah,
    I’m on Martial at the moment mostly for dgw 34, any other thoughts?
    Thanx

    1. estheblessed
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Watkins, Isak, Jota

    2. MightyGar
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Jota or Isak, in that order of preference

    3. Dotherightthing
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      like Isak but sgw34, but a double afterwards yh definitely a contender, cheers.

      I’ve got Watkins and jota too expensive

    4. Dead Balls
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I have Enciso as my forward fodder 4.6m

      1. Dotherightthing
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Got triple Brighton already

  22. Dotherightthing

    Raya - Kepa
    Trippier - Ake - Shaw - Henry - Botman
    Saka - Grealish - Rashford - Mitoma - March
    Haaland - Kane - Watkins

    A - Kane to Jota (wouldn't be able to get Salah for GW34)
    B - Kane & Henry to cheap striker & TAA (-4)
    C - Kane & Saka to cheap striker & Salah (-4)
    D - Roll
    E - Other?

  26. Ajax Hamsterdam

    I need to lose kane or Salah in order to fund haaland. I am fh34. Both kane and Salah have nice fixtures really not sure who to sell. Any thoughts? Cheers.

    1. CheesyGonzalez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Kane is likely to keep scoring 1 a game which isn't bad whereas Salah has potential to get multiple double digit hauls

    2. Wheato182
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Lose Kane for me.

    3. Bobby_Baggio
