Suspensions

The Suspension Tightrope – Gameweek 15

There were 30 yellow cards flashed across the weekend’s nine fixtures but not one resulted in a suspension. With five new faces clambering aboard over Saturday and Sunday, the Tightrope now has 21 players sitting just one booking shy of a single-match ban as the busy festive period kicks in.

Chelsea’s Diego Costa, Newcastle midfielder Vurnon Anita, Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse and West Brom midfield duo Craig Gardner and James McClean were the latest additions, with the latter escaping with just a yellow for a reckless high challenge on Tottenham’s Mousa Dembele.

Discussing the incident with the press post-match, Baggies boss Tony Pulis hinted that the winger was somewhat fortunate not to be sent packing:

“It was a reckless challenge. He shouldn’t be doing things like that, it’s not allowed in the modern game and he’s got to be careful. He just sees the ball, he is one of those people that if the ball was in front of a brick wall he would throw himself in to try and win the challenge. He’s not a nasty guy, there’s none of that about him, but he has to be careful”.

As a result of the weekend activity, seven sides – Bournemouth, Newcastle, Southampton, Stoke, Spurs, Watford and West Brom – now have a couple of players apiece with four cautions to their names.

Our Tightrope protagonists still sit some way behind Norwich’s Alex Tettey, though, who leads the way on seven bookings for the season after incurring the referee’s wrath during the 2-0 loss at Watford.

Just behind Tettey, there are now four players on six yellow cards. Stoke’s Erik Pieters, Liverpool duo James Milner and Lucas and Newcastle’s Jack Colback are the men concerned, with the latter two picking up cautions this weekend.

Lucas’ yellow card means that Liverpool have now earned 33 cautions in the Premier League alone – that’s on a par with West Brom and just two behind Tottenham in top spot.

Finally, four players will be available for action this weekend after serving one-match bans. Liverpool’s Emre Can, Villa’s Ciaran Clark, West Brom’s Claudio Yacob and Palace’s Wilfried Zaha toppled off last week’s Tightrope, with Can earning his fifth yellow in the midweek cup win at Southampton. Zaha, of course, will serve his ban tomorrow night as the Eagles roll up to Everton.

This means that, at present, there are no players set to serve suspensions in Gameweek 16. Palace’s Yohan Cabaye and Everton’s James McCarthy could yet succumb to the lure of the Tightrope, though – they head into tomorrow’s match at Goodison on four bookings apiece.

Finally, reports this evening suggest that United’s Bastian Schweinsteiger could face retrospective action for an alleged elbowing incident involving West Ham’s Winston Reid at Old Trafford yesterday. It’s believed that referee Mark Clattenburg and his assistants missed the altercation, with the FA set to contact the whistler before making a decision. Marouane Fellaini is likely to escape punishment for an alleged stamp on James Tomkins during the goalless draw.

        I've got 4 big hitters on my watchlist. Aguero. Sturridge. Theo. Mahrez.

        Looking at a Rojo replacement. Looking at a Firmino replacement.

  2. Up the tics

    So I have Lukaku and deulofeu playing tonight
    I'm seeing people with Lukaku hoping he blanks tonight because it will affect their OR
    I don't understand so what is the best case scenario for my OR? Surely I will move up if Lukaku scores regardless of how many people have him captained
    I can't comprehend can someone explain?

    1. Hazardous_Blue
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      You will move down if people behind you in rankings have captained him. Because for every point you gain from him, they gain twice the same and catch up to you.

      But i'm hoping for a goalfest from lukaaa and deulofeu myself, regardless of OR, as i own them too and it makes for fun watching. cheers !

    Lad's need some help on a Fantasy football issue. Scores are similar to FPL.

    Who do I (C)

    A) DGW player, both games away from home against 2 tough teams, not much of a goal scorer but plays as the "number 10". On FK's, not on pens. Has scored (12, 18, 3, 5) in his last 4 games 26.3% ownership. Plays for the best team in the league. One of the away games is a top of the table clash.

    B) Plays one game, against arguably worst team in the league away from home. Highest point scorer in the league. Is a midfielder, on pens and all set pieces. Has scored (16, 11, 23, 16) in his last 4 games. Also a playmaker playing in the hole. 55.7% ownership. Plays for a mid table club who have scored the most goals in the league. Most expensive player in the game.

    If your wondering why the scores are so high, its because you get 1 point for SOT and 1 point for every 2 shot assists. Other then that the scoring system is pretty much the same to FPL.

    1. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      It's like comparing Aguero (SUN) or Ozil (mci, stk).... sort off.

      1. Puyol Pants Up

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B), perhaps?

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Had B captain for all his hauls. Leaning towards him.

    3. Lateriser 12
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      DGW player.

    4. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      A

    5. Puyol Pants Up
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      For those wondering how a player managed to get 23 points.

      1 goal, 2 assists. 9 Shot assists, 3 Shots on target, 3 BPS

      • 10 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      I captained a sgw fail last year when Tekkers, Phillips and Austin hauled in the Villa vs QPR dgw, so A.

    6. Manaf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      DGW player. Lessons learned from Austin, Philips and Benteke last year Vs. In form Hazard

    7. affinity07
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      A is definitely Ozil 🙂 barring that popularity which is too low for Ozil
      B sounds more like Hazard 2014/2015 version, not this crappy Hazard right now

      I'd go with B since he's pretty consistent at double figures and he's playing the worst team so more chances to better that score

    Butland

    KDB, Barkley, Mahrez, Özil
    Aguero, Kane, Lukaku

    subs: Hennessey --- Simpson, Wollscheid, King --- 1 FT, 0.4 ITB

    Morning lads.

    Early thoughts?

    https://i.gyazo.com/16381b3ca6744c3cdf57ef6f3ef59b35.png

    Not sure on captain yet, Hoolahan, Jenkinson and Francis on my bench. I'm thinking a -4 this week.

    Any ideas?

    1. Arteta

      I like it 🙂 you already used FT?

      1. st4rt__

        Nah, still have it.

        1. Arteta
          • 8 Years

          I'd wait and maybe even save it in the end.

  6. Eden Hazardous

    Who could Liverpool sell Benteke to and whats the best price they could get?

    1. Eden Hazardous
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Southampton should e perfect for Southampton IMO

      20 million (maybe 25)

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Benteke*

    2. st4rt__
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Spurs would probably want him, Arsenal perhaps, WH maybe, etc.

      I'd say about £15m-£20m.

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        West Ham could suit him

    3. #WinterIsNotComing
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Man United for 10 million 😉

    4. Jape
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 5 months ago

      Agree SOT is a good pick. Same with Spurs.

      Hopefully we don't sell him though

      1. Eden Hazardous
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 5 months ago

        Benteke isn't a good fit for Liverpool as he doesn't press

        1. Jape
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 5 months ago

          Klopp was chasing Benteke so he's obviously able to work with him.

          1. internal error
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Benteke is too lazy. Good player and thats why Klopp wanted to sign him but without the right work ethic, he is a liability for Liverpool. He makes a good impact sub

            1. Jape
              • 8 Years
              8 years, 5 months ago

              Agreed on that.

              Don't mind having him as an impact sub. Will be interesting to see if Klopp signs another striker in Jan. Can't rely on Sturridge.

                The January market is a tough one. Sounds like a CB is the most likely signing.

                1. Jape
                  • 8 Years
                  8 years, 5 months ago

                  Of course. Striker definitely isn't the first priority, but if we managed to get both it would be interesting to see who he gets

    5. Jay10
      • 9 Years

      Atletico 20-25m

    65 pts with Captain Lukaku and Barkley still to play and I'll be saving a transfer this week. Most of my fpl players will be playing bottom 5 next GW!

    1. Jape
      • 8 Years

      Nice score.

      53 with Lukaku and Ward coming off the bench.

      1. Sjaugen

        Same. Pls score one Ward

        1. Jape
          • 8 Years

      Will be interesting to see how they follow it up at Spurs. They are the very definition of a confidence-based club, based on recent seasons. Could see them pulling out a surprise draw.

        fair enough, playing Newcastle at home is still a decent fixture, but going to St James Park for me is not one where you'd captain a player

        It'll not be the thrashing that everyone will have been expecting against Spurs but yeah I'm gonna captain Kane also.

    It was my 30th birthday this weekend! Gifted points from Mahrez, Wiljnaldum, Gomes, Alderwiereld, Ozil, Simpson and Vardy, now just hoping for it to be topped off by Bolasie and Lukaku (c).

    I also got a nice watch, but that's not fantasy life!

    Out of the potential DGW's (Game week 27, 30, 33/34, 37)

    Which is the best to use the bench boost and why?

    What is the benefit to using Bench boost on a DGW?

    Which big teams may be playing in each of those game weeks twice (most likely to make it to that fixture)?

          After the fact/reveal, if I were to guess.
          IE there is a draw tonight at 1900, I think it's for the c1c semis. We really don't want Liverpool and Everton? in the final, DGW wise

          1. Joey_Soccer
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 5 months ago

            Ok, so in this DGW all teams play as per usual. However, some other teams play an extra game and those points are added to one game week total?

            This then gives you the benefit of having a few players maybe playing 180 mins in the one game week?

            Is this correct?

              Watch here and you will get good advice , and bad, on how to play it nearer time.

    I maybe even keep Mane for Crystal Palace but it's so frustrating owning him. He had so many chances to score and get points but he didn't. Who do you think it's his best replacement?
    a) Ramsey

    2 FTs, 1,1 ITB + all my chips left.

    Thinking of finally Selling Depay to the likes of Mahrez, Ramsey, Deulofeu, Alli, King.

    Lukaku plays his 100th game for Everton tonight. If he scores he'll have 50 goals for them.

    Aguero Vardy Lukaku

    Subs: Morrison Van Dijk Browning

    Still have Sanchez in my team.. I see he has dropped 0.2 or something since last week, I'm not quite sure how that works. Is he likely to drop any more this week or what? I have 2 FTs, but I really want to wait till end of the week before I use them.

      likely to drop more unfortunately, highly owned and most have got rid

        About 16% ownership so still quiet a few to shed, looks like another drop this week.

      He's down to 11% now at -12, so really slowing down now.

    Smalling Kolarov Alders
    Barkley Mahrez De Bryun Ozil
    Lukaku Vardy Kane

    Fabianski Zouma Davis Smith
    2.6 ITB
    I don't need Fabs and have 1 FT. Do I save for next week and free up funds from Fabs to get Liverpool cover?

    Opta stats for today's game

    Everton are unbeaten in their last 15 Premier League games played on a Monday (W7 D8).

    Crystal Palace have lost just one of their last four Premier League games against Everton (W2 D1 L1).

    At Goodison Park, the Toffees have lost four of their six Premier Leagues clashes with Crystal Palace (W2), including the last two [both by a 2-3 scoreline].

    Romelu Lukaku scored in both top-flight clashes between these two sides last season, with both goals coming before the 10th minute.

    Lukaku has scored eight goals in his last eight Premier League games for the Toffees.

    Palace are the only side yet to throw away any points from leading positions in the Premier League this season; winning all seven games that they have led in.
