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.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    I don't even have walcott but I so hope he's starting up front with podolski on the flank - it could of course be the other way round.

    There's no point not trying it out when there is a striker slot available and it apparently is important to him.

    It's hardly like Walcott has shown no finishing ability or pace 😆

      Podolski has been useless on the flanks for club and country and only really functions well playing centrally as a striker.

      I'd like to see Wenger give him a go in his best position tonight - Poldi can be very effective against a poor defence, although, as we've seen all season, he completely disappears against top opposition.
