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.

      I was thinking I'd wait as long as possible, but the chance of catch price rises in the first GW there might be too tempting. With so many people WC-ing, prices will change a lot I reckon.

        Last year, Valencia went up around 1.0m from the start to the end of the WC window. It's a consideration, for sure.

        Yeah, it's not exactly cut and dry. I have a decent team value now so might take advantage of that and just wait. Also depends on what players you have of course.

      well the general consensus is mancini will rotate the players.

      Dzeko is highlighted by many as a person to come in. So it is a possibility aguero or tevez are a risk here.

      Silva I think is not a risk personally but one or two on the forum are calling for him to be "wrapped up" before the big 2 away games.

      The general feeling is they don't want mancini to rotate and want a consistent side. However they are aware mancini loves rotation and they are aware they could be facing bottom of the table side at home before 2 away fixtures in a row in quick succession therefore realise some rotation will be possible.

                With Aguero, I'll have to get Walcott and Sterling, the downside of this is, Walcott just doesn't seem to start 3 games in a row, and Boxing day would be a problem, and with Sterling, I'll have 3 Pools in my team, Boxing day could go pathetic for me, if RVP and/or Aguero get rested, with Pool playing Stoke, and Walcott's blank.

    Fellaini > Yaya is what everyone should be doing than 4-5 gwks from now you switch again just in time for Yaya going to ACON

    Yaha fixtures are really good and not only that but Nasri injured his groin meaning Yaya will be now pushed up finally in a more attacking position with Garcia and Barry fit doing the defensive work.

    Timing is a Godsend though would have been better if Fellaini didn't do this in the first place.

      this is why it is worth waiting until the last GW of the window to activate it. Free access to any signings you fancy

        The only downside is sometimes new signings don't start from the first match. But surely falcao will

    Fellaini, 5 "tube teamers", Sterling, Enrique, and Ruddy.

    Still thinking suck it up with a couple of hits over the festive period and hold on until the January WC.

    Thoughts?

      lescott maybe back this week and not sure about zabaleta. Zab is probably more nailed on.

      Saying that zab will now be rested this weekend

    In TFF, 15/30 season transfers left ... last week I fielded 9 players and this week only 8 due to injuries, suspensions and a blank for Chelsea ... must I use a transfer to switch Fellaini (to a budget option - Pilkington is my current favourite option) or could I hold and just go three weeks with 10 men?

      B or C IMO. I don;t like Baker as an FPL pick, doesn't look like he will offer any attacking returns, and may drop out when Vlaar is back.

      If you want Villa defence get Guzan, Clark or Lowton

    so, looking at FISO it seems the transfer of choice is Fellaini to Yaya

    I think I prefer Fellaini to Silva myself

      I've never understood the Yaya badwagon - he's too expensive to take the risk of a 6/7 gw dryspell that comes with buying defensive mids - even dm's with a high upside like yaya.
