The Suspension Tightrope – Galling

A couple of Frenchman are set for a short stint on the sidelines after falling foul of the referee’s wrath over the weekend’s fixtures. Mathieu Debuchy and Mathieu Flamini received their fifth yellow cards of the campaign, meaning both are set to serve a one-match suspension in Gameweek 12:

Debuchy’s caution in Newcastle’s 1-0 win at White Hart Lane will force him out of the upcoming home game against Norwich as Alan Pardew’s side go in search of a third successive clean sheet. The right-back’s absence is a real blow to the Tyneside team – he has played every minute of the season so far, though the versatile Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa could deputise, allowing fit-again Fabricio Coloccini the chance to slot in alongside Mike Williamson in the heart of the backline.

Flamini has certainly show a flair for racking up the cards since returning to the Emirates this summer. The holding midfielder has received five cautions in just 511 minutes’ game time – his absence for the upcoming visit of Southampton should see Aaron Ramsey shift back into the double-pivot alongside Mikel Arteta, after the Welshman was moved to the right flank once again away to United yesterday.

The Suspension Tightrope welcomed a number of new faces in the Gameweek gone by. West Brom duo Jonas Olsson and Claudio Yacob, Hull’s defensive rock Curtis Davies, Fulham’s Scott Parker, Chelsea right-back Branislav Ivanovic and Norwich’s Michael Turner all climbed aboard on Saturday. Sunday’s matches saw Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere, Spurs centre-half Michael Dawson, City’s Javi Garcia, United utility man Phil Jones, Stoke centre-half Robert Huth, Swansea pair Chico and Angel Rangel and Newcastle midfielder Moussa Sissoko also earn their fourth bookings of the season.

Only four clubs – Liverpool, Cardiff, Palace and Southampton – are not represented in the updated widget on your sidebar, which now heaves under the weight of 23 players.

In terms of ongoing suspensions, Sunderland pair Andreas Dossena and Lee Cattermole will sit out the second of a three-match ban in the upcoming round of matches– both will be available for the Gameweek 14 visit of Chelsea. Swansea stopper Michel Vorm makes a return after serving a one-match ban in Sunday’s 3-3 draw with Stoke.

What to do, I'm 0.4 of doing this.
Studge to Rooney and Barkley to Sess any help?

  That is extremely unfortunate. Having both Cabaye and Sess would be lovely. Not much you can do about it though. The rest of your midfield is good.

What does one do with Daniel Sturridge?

Aguero and Suarez complete my strikeforce.

Tempted to get Rooney but amongst his fixtures Sturridge plays ; Hull (A) Norwich (H) West Ham (H) Cardiff (H) before the Jan WC time.

Torn.

  I'd look to either Remy or Bony and use the extra money elsewhere.
  
  Or go all out Rooney, Suarez Aguero ...at least you have everyone else's captains for the next 26 weeks.

  2 things with sturridge for me.
  1) don't compare him with suarez, compare him with all the other available strikers in fpl.
  2) sleep off the bad blood from last gw, it was a great fixture and for the first time (maybe 2nd if you count southamtpon as a good fixture) all season sturridge didnt deliver. hugely frustrating. if after letting immediate emotions die down you still dont fancy him then fair enough. for example think back to 4 days ago, did you plan on selling sturridge at this point? price fall pressure and immediate emotions can be disruptive

  I am but not in fantasy Football. I dropped Lukaku for Suarez 4 wks ago. I won't know whether to laugh or cry come the Merseyside Derby to see my player Suarez score. That's coming from a Toffee.
  Incidentally I am tempted to hit the confirm button on Silva> Sess but am stalling. If Everton were not Playing Liverpool I might have already done Silva> Gerrard but I cant bare watching Sevie G wheel away after scoring the winner against us knowing I would benefit.
