Three Match Ban for Fellaini

We knew it was coming. After his moments of madness in Everton’s draw with Stoke on Saturday, Marouane Fellaini has been charged with violent conduct by the FA this afternoon and will now miss the next three fixtures over the festive period.

A statement on the Toffees official website revealed that while referee Mark Halsey saw two incidents involving both players – and deemed neither as “violent conduct” – he failed to see this headbutt , allowing the FA to retrospectively slap a ban on the Belgian.

Having notched eight goals and four assists so far, Fellaini’s loss will be a substantial one as David Moyes’ men take on West Ham, Wigan and Chelsea but from a Fantasy perspective, today’s news is equally crucial. The second most popular player in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Fellaini currently has 43% ownership but that is set to dramatically plummet as Fantasy managers quickly look to fill the void left by his impending absence.

As mentioned in our earlier Suspension Tightrope article, we’re already making plans to address the situation – a “Fellaini Exit Route” article is very much in the pipeline over the next day or so. Keep an eye open for that one.

      Players are flagged once the charge is made and then removed if an appeal is successful. That's the same with red cards - even though an appeal could be pending. I can't think of a retrospective charge that has ever been appealed successfully.

      I dumped him for Bale already. Not waiting for an article offering the same advice that is in the message boards so I can lose value.

      I dropped Bale as soon as he was hurt, bringing him back in at a lower cost, hoping to do the same w/ Fellani.

    what i find amusing is ive had about 6 points of fellaini when ive owned him, then he gets injured or banned, i sell him, then he scores a hatfull when he gets back and i dont get him back untill its too late 🙄

      What's the plan WR?

      I'm thining Bale (still a risk) or maybe A Young?

      Could go cheap (say Taarabt) and -4 for Berb -> Aguero.

    I think if you have no Ars cover replace Hair Bear for the possible double G/W in jan.

    You''ll be set up without having to make Okey Kokey moves. tx

      ... and get Arse cover for the possible no show on the 26th? It's a minefield!

      same here...
      BAN is probably one of the few positives which this GW has to offer 😉
      sticking with leighton baines for everton cover from the very start....he is well due to deliver the monster hauls we all remember he is capable of

    Is mata falling soon because he is on red alert at fiso?
    He has 4753 NTI today so I guess he is not...

          Just factor in that national teams are allowed to invoke the rule that stipulates clubs have to release players at least 14 days to a major competition.
