The Suspension Tightrope – Gameweek 9

1,234 Comments
Share

We now have six players balancing on this week’s Suspension Tightrope after Gameweek 9’s fixtures afforded us four new entries. The most popular Fantasy asset sitting just one booking away from a single-match ban is Chelsea’s Cesc Fabregas, who earned his fourth caution of the campaign in Sunday’s draw at United.

After collecting just a single yellow in the opening five Gameweeks, the 53%-owned playmaker has incurred the referee’s wrath in three of his last four league matches, and with clashes against QPR, Sunderland and West Brom in the next four, his owners will be praying he can steer clear of further misdemeanours.

Also picking up a fourth booking of the season last weekend was Everton’s Steven Naismith, along with midfield battlers Lee Cattermole and Craig Gardner. Whilst the latter pair have minimal ownership, Naismith sits in 25% of Fantasy Premier League teams, and after netting just once in the last six, looks to be on his last chance for many, with both Saido Berahino and Diafra Sakho offering excellent alternatives in the budget bracket.

This week’s new arrivals join Phil Bardsley and Winston Reid on the Tightrope, then, though Branislav Ivanovic owners can breathe a sigh of relief despite his sending off at Old Trafford on Sunday. The Serbian will serve a one-match ban during Chelsea’s Capital One Cup clash with Shrewsbury this evening and will be available for selection at home to QPR next Saturday.

Also free from suspension for Gameweek 10 is Wayne Rooney, who returns from a three-match enforced absence in time for Sunday’s Manchester derby. The United skipper is nursing a foot problem sustained in training, though, and is rated a doubt for the Etihad showdown.

Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere, Tottenham centre-half Federico Fazio and Palace defender Damien Delaney also return to action, with the trio having served one-match bans last weekend.

This leaves Cesar Azpilicueta as the only player currently sidelined through suspension. The Chelsea defender misses tonight’s Shrewsbury showdown and Saturday’s home encounter with the R’s before returning to the fray in time for the league leaders’ Gameweek 11 visit to Anfield.

          We know he's not though. Mourinho's already said he hopes to be fit for QPR. Was never gonna travel tonight

            and Drogba starting tonight might suggest Jose is expecting him to be fit

          Playing Diego Costa against Shrewsbury Town would be a war crime.

      Was never going to play today anyway. If anything he'll get minutes v QPR to get him prepped for Liverpool.

    Wait.. So Drogba starts and Fabregas not there means its more likely Costa and Fab will start against QPR? I'm asking about Cesc Because of the whole fábregas yellow cards situation

      It's a difficult concept to grasp, but yes, not playing in this game means it's likely both will play in the next

    Should Ideye starting make Berahino owners worry. At least about being shifted out wide?

        He has certainly earned his position, but he did score 2 goals in the first game from the right wing iirc.

      Thought about downgrading your fifth mid to upgrade your defense?

        I've looked at downgrading Downing to Boyd but it only leaves 5.9 (swapping out Naylor) and I feel the only defender I want is Baines.

        Bit of a tough one.
