With his red card in the loss to Everton, it’s Bolton’s David Wheater who took Saturday’s disciplinary headlines. His clumsy lunge on Everton’s Diniyar Bilyaletdinov resulted in his second red of the season, earning him an immediate three-match ban which is topped up with an additional match, due to the previous red. Wheater will now serve a band from gameweeks 14 to 17 (tot, AVL, ful, bla) returning to contention on Boxing Day. Having filled in at right-back today, his absence is set to leave Bolton a little short following the injury to Joe Riley. The return of Dedryck Boyata from his own setback, can’t come soon enough for Owen Coyle.

Joining Wheater on the ban list for next weekend is Newcastle’s Jonas Gutierrez; his pair of yellows for Newcastle at Old Trafford means he’ll be missing when Chelsea visit St James’ Park next weekend. Meanwhile, despite a fifth yellow for John Terry in the 3-0 win over Wolves, the Chelsea skipper will still make that fixture. Strategic or not, his one match suspension will rule him out of the Carling Cup clash with Liverpool on Tuesday making him eligible for the Newcastle clash.

On to the Suspension Tightrope, and we have a couple of willing volunteers to take Terry’s vacated space, with Yohan Cabaye of Newcastle and Wolves’ Karl Henry joining party. Both earned their fourth yellows, picked up in the games against Manchester United and Chelsea respectively.

Gameweek 14 Bans

  • Antolin Alcaraz (Wigan) – FA Charge (1 remaining match)
  • David Wheater (Bolton) – 1 Red for serious foul play (First of 4 matches)
  • Jonas Gutierrez (Newcastle) – 1 Red for 2 bookings (1 match)

Suspension Tightrope – Four Bookings

  • Gabby Agbonlahor (Aston Villa)
  • Stiliyan Petrov (Aston Villa)
  • Frank Lampard (Chelsea)
  • Brede Hangeland (Fulham)
  • Steve Sidwell (Fulham)
  • Gareth Barry (Man City)
  • Yohan Cabaye (Newcastle)
  • Ryan Shawcross (Stoke)
  • Glenn Whelan (Stoke)
  • Lee Cattermole (Sunderland)
  • Karl Henry (Wolves)

    I reckon 40 will be a good score this week. I'm sat on 28 with Sinclair, Silva, & Aguero to come. How is everyone else doing?

            Yeah, I had a feeling Jones would get rested, but Drenthe & VDV both missing out was harsh, I was so close to (c) Adebayor which was annoying. One more week for Ramsey I think - you hanging on?

              I kind of knew Jones might get rested but totally didn't see Drenthe not playing. Im just glad I have a strong bench. I will stick with Ramsey as I was encouraged by how Wolves played against Chelsea, it should be a rout for Arsenal so Ramsey should get something. Drenthe, Eagles and Bendy could be on the chopping block for me this week.

            Yeah, we could both do with Silva tearing it up. My score wasn't much better this week. 28 (with probable BPs for Ade & Verm) plus Sinclair, Silva & Aguero to come. Should hit the 40 mark I reckon.

    I've just bet £250 in total that Rooney will score more goals than van Nazi in the Premier League this season. Currently Rooney is 4 behind, but he's back up front now and I expect it's not long before the big Dutchman picks up his customary ankle injury which will sideline him for months.

    C'mon Wazza!

    Nicklas Bendtner Shot At Dawn

    Newly-appointed Luminous Animals manager Gut announced the summary removal of misfiring Danish striker Bendtner from his squad in an early morning press conference."Yes, it's true, we took him out and pressed the button. He had to go and he knew it, to be fair. We offered him a blindfold but unfortunately we couldn't find one big enough. He did accept a last cigarette but then dropped it in a puddle. Everyone at the club wishes him well in his new career as an astronaut for NASA or window cleaner in Oldham, whatever it was he said he was going to do".

    Trevor Welly, editor of independent fanzine I Am Not A Luminous Animal applauded the move. "Basically, buying Bendtner cost Brain his job last week and it's no surprise to see Gut wield the axe. You know, we've seen it all before; a manager comes in, has a few good weeks and it goes to his head. Instead of studying stats and fixture rotation he's out drinking pink cocktails in seedy nightclubs and then on the way home he takes his eyes off the road and his hands off the wheel and falls down a great big hole. Then you need a crane to pull him out - fortunately we've got a damn big crane but it had Ba written on the side, not Bendtner. The writing was on the crane for Bendtner as soon as Brain left the club".

      Keepers dont rotate.
      Baines + Vidic too expensive - I'd have one if that.
      Dempsey doesn't do it for me, better options for more money and less
      Toure is a poor mans Silva
      You need to get rid of all 3 of your strikers.
      And, you only have one good captaincy option and he is a doubt every week.

      Begovic is observing an obscure religious tradition which renders him not able to partake in any excessive physical activity during the 6 weeks prior to Xmas.

    Mata or Larsson for the next few weeks. Considering both form and fixtures.?? or any other midfield choices?

    I can afford anyone. Ive got Walters, Silva, VDV, Johnson and Dyer.

    My planned transfers are: Rooney>Adebayor + B.Johnson>*anyone*

        Im considering that too to be honest. Would that be too much dependance on TOT? They'll probably thrash Bolton too wouldnt they..

          In all likely hood, it's your best bet.

      Don't buy Mata - he's a waste of space. Get Larsson.

        You really think so? He's looked superthreatening the last few games, his next few fixtures arent so good though 🙁

          You got to look mid term at least for fixtures.
          Mata has;
          Newcastle away - probably won't do much
          Man City at home - fancy him to do something considering his home record of 3 goals/5 assists in 6 games.
          He then goes on a run from GW 16-23 of some very nice fixtures (from an attacking P.O.V)

              Not quite IMO.
              Has scored/assisted 8 in 6 at home and Man City aren't exactly showing the same defensive record as of yet.
              Then he has Wigan away - enough said, and Spurs away - not exactly defensive powerhouses.
              That said, why not go with Larsson and then make the switch in GW16
              Gives you Larsson vs wol and BLA and skips Mata vs new and MCL.

    Is Ade a must have at the moment, he had found great form and his fixtures look good with 7 home games and 4 away. I already have VDV and BAE so I'm not bothered by Bale

    BOL, sto, SUN, CHE, nor, swa, WBA, EVE, WOL, mcy, WIG

      No such thing as a must have, but he is a very nice pick.
      8, 12, 4, 6, 8, 2, 2, 6, 13 and 14 is a mighty fine run, especially for 8.? whatever he is now
