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

    is silva the midfield version of baines? Loads of potential, crazy amounts of chances created but no real output of points.

    Was excellent the start-middle of last season then went missing and this season has not been a great pick. Thinking of bringing him in for fellaini but just not sure.

    He seems to be playing similarly as he did in his first season.

            sell Migs though I'm not an advocate of it. Otherwise you're looking at Berba, Rafa or Cameron

            Mata or Silva for this week to replace Fellaini (for me). I'm thinking Silva for RDG, then get Mata for Cazorla next week.

                Well, now I am, I'm a fan, but doubling up on Chelsea doesn't look too good. 🙁
                I think with Silva in, I would be covering all the teams having good fixtures.

      I was going to get rid of fellaini for puncheon to upgrade mcanuff next week.
      am now getting second thoughts - what's so great about puncheon? his goal scoring record is not very impressive?
      leaning towards yaya instead, even though I have silva already.

      REPOST:
      Getting Marveaux/Barkley (or any 4.3 mid) as a Fellaini replacement gives me a forward line of Aguero RVP and Suarez. Should I do it?
      Reckon either of them will start with Barfa and Fellaini out?

        great punt and worth it to have that forward line. persoanlly, I reckon Tevez is better though esp with Balo seemingly out now
