Suspensions

Which FPL players are nearing a suspension?

Those who keep an eye on our Suspension Tightrope widget on our homepage will be aware that the yellow cards are steadily racking up for several Fantasy Premier League players – and indeed have already resulted in a suspension for one FPL favourite.

Jose Holebas (£4.9m) became the first Premier League player of 2018/19 to accumulate five yellow cards and will now miss Watford’s trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers in Gameweek 9 a result.

The occasion of the Greek left-back’s suspension and that it’s the international break seems a good time to take stock of the disciplinary situation around the top flight.

With the yellow card amnesty not until after the completion of Gameweek 19 (after which the threshold moves up to ten yellow cards), then those FPL players already sitting on three and especially four cautions have a long way to go before they are in the clear.

For ease of reading, only the players highlighted in bold below are the ones walking the disciplinary tightrope.

Currently Banned

Holebas has worryingly reached the “magic” five yellow card mark quicker than he did in 2016/17, when the veteran full-back went on to rack up 14 cautions in just 33 appearances.

The Watford left-back’s five bookings have come from just ten fouls but are illustrative of his tendency to take drastic measures when caught out of position after bombing forward.

As well as Holebas, Watford have another player unavailable for the trip to Molineux.

Christian Kabasele (£4.5m) was dismissed after collecting two yellow cards in the 4-0 loss to Bournemouth on Saturday and will now serve a one-match suspension in Gameweek 9.

The absence of Kabasele and Holebas could mean promotions off the bench for Adrian Mariappa and Adam Masina (both £4.3m) at centre-half and left-back respectively, though the Hornets are well-stocked for defenders and could even drop midfielders Etienne Capoue (£5.0m) or Nathaniel Chalobah (£4.5m) into the backline.

Cardiff City are currently appealing Joe Ralls‘ (£4.8m) controversial dismissal for serious foul play in the 1-0 defeat to Spurs, but if unsuccessful, Victor Camarasa (£4.5m) could move back into the centre of midfield for the three fixtures in which Ralls is suspended. Aron Gunnarsson (£4.4m) is nearing a return to fitness and could also step in.

Finally, Wes Morgan (£4.5m) will sit out Leicester City’s next two fixtures after picking up his second red card of the season in the defeat to Everton on Saturday. Jonny Evans (£4.9m) looks to be the likely beneficiary, though Caglar Soyuncu (£5.0m) is an alternative.

On Four Yellow Cards

Three players are on four yellow cards, though only one of them will likely be of any interest to FPL managers. Central midfielders Etienne Capoue (£5.0m) and Harry Arter (£4.9m) are both owned by less than 0.5% of Fantasy bosses, but another caution for either player would result in a ban and be a big blow to their respective clubs following their early-season performances.

Zanka (£4.5m), however, is owned by over 230,000 FPL managers and those Fantasy bosses who are sitting on the Danish centre-half for Huddersfield Town’s forthcoming run of good fixtures between Gameweeks 10 and 15 (one of the best in the league on our Season Ticker) will be hoping the towering stopper can dodge another caution over the coming weeks.

Only one FPL defender has committed more fouls than Zanka this season, however.

On Three Yellow Cards

There are 18 FPL players sat on three cautions which, although still two yellow cards from a suspension, doesn’t leave them with a lot of leeway considering the cut-off date for a one-match suspension is after Boxing Day.

Defenders

There are several high-profile FPL assets among the seven defenders on three yellow cards. Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.2m), Harry Maguire (£5.5m) and Luke Shaw (£5.1m), owned by 21.1%, 15.7% and 10% of Fantasy bosses at the time of writing, are currently sat on three yellow cards and while that fact is unlikely to prompt mass sales among existing owners, it is something to consider for those FPL managers who are contemplating a move for one of the above trio.

Maguire’s Leicester City indeed top our Season Ticker from Gameweek 10 onwards, while there will be plenty of interest in Liverpool’s watertight defence (five clean sheets in eight matches) and Alexander-Arnold with the Reds’ fixtures turning for the better after the October international break.

Matthew Lowton (£4.8m), Sokratis Papasthopolous (£5.2) and Southampton wing-backs Ryan Bertrand (£4.9m) and Cedric Soares (£4.4m) complete the septet of sinning stoppers.

Midfielders

There are nine midfielders who are just two bookings away from suspension, but there are few Fantasy bosses who will be affected.

Central midfielders Granit Xhaka (£5.3m), Philip Billing (£4.5m), Mario Lemina (£5.0m), Dale Stephens (£4.4m), Dan Gosling (£4.9m), Jefferson Lerma (£4.5m) and Oriel Romeu (£4.4m) are amongst the group, with any high ownership (Stephens is the most popular, sitting in 5.4% of squads) likely to be for their budget price tag and suitability as “bench fodder”.

Having racked up eight assists in 2017/18 and proven that he is a threat at direct free-kick situations this season, Xhaka is a cut above the other budget buys listed above.

Any worried owners should be slightly reassured after the elevation to the first team of Lucas Torreira (£4.9m), who has helped unburden the Swiss midfielder from some of his defensive workload. After ten fouls and three yellow cards in the first four league fixtures of the season, Xhaka has committed only four offences and stayed out of the referee’s notebook completely in the last four Gameweeks.

Robert Snodgrass (£5.4m), meanwhile, has lost his place in the West Ham midfield in recent weeks and is only owned by 0.1% of FPL managers in any event.

Matt Ritchie (£5.9m) also has limited appeal from a Fantasy perspective but his Newcastle side are about to embark on an excellent run of fixtures in which they play none of the “big six” in the coming ten Gameweeks.

The Scotland international has a hat-trick of yellow cards to his name, however, and only three midfielders have committed more fouls than him this season.

Forwards

There are only two strikers on three yellow cards but both feature in the top five of most-owned FPL forwards: Harry Kane (£12.5m) and Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m).

Zaha’s three yellow cards have damaged his score on the Bonus Points System this season as they have all come in fixtures in which he has scored.

With five tough matches coming up (Palace sit bottom of our Season Ticker), Zaha is currently the most-sold forward of Gameweek 9 and it will be interesting to see if he collects a fourth yellow card during this daunting period of matches – that would perhaps deter investors for when the Eagles’ fixtures turn for the better in Gameweek 14.

Kane’s booking against Cardiff City on Saturday came in the incident that led to Joe Ralls’ dismissal, while his two previous cautions against Newcastle and Manchester United were for bad fouls.

While his current yellow card count won’t be too big of a concern just yet for existing owners, a fourth yellow card picked up over the next six fixtures would certainly influence the FPL market ahead of Spurs’ excellent run of matches from Gameweek 15-21.

Most Fouls

Below are position-by-position tables of the FPL players who have committed the most fouls in the league this season, highlighting the repeat offenders who are perhaps likeliest to pick up cautions going forward and cost their owners points or hamper their scores on the Bonus Points System.

    Damn this FPL suspension...

  2. jason_ni

    Had been planning to WC, now not so sure, is it worth it?

    Forster/4.0
    Alonso/Mendy/Robertson/Doherty/AWB
    Hazard/Mane/Maddison/Fraser/Stephens
    Kane/Laca/Ings

    0FT 0.4 ITB
    Would sort out Goalkeepers, although Watfords fixtures are easing a bit.
    Like my Defence as it is, and the mf is ok
    Would move Kane/Ings out for Aguero/Murray maybe.

    Prb not worth it right?

    1. jason_ni

      * GK is Ben Foster, not Forster

      No need

    3. Debauchy

      Nah, rather a hit than a WC at this time

  3. potatoace

    Rall gets an increase ban if (when) Cardiff lose their appeal right?

    1. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No, that was an old rule about "frivolous appeal" which is no longer used. Chelsea appealed Marcos Alonso's clear red card last season, got the appeal rejected, but no further penalty.

    Sørloth unhappy to be behind a literal donkey in the pecking order at CPL.

      He should be!

    I must admit, I prefer the old, snappier titles for these articles.

    I understand the need to be clear and concise (and these titles appeal to the mainstream readership), but I do have a nostalgic love for 'The Suspension Tightrope', 'Frisking the Fixtures' and 'The Kneejerk' to name a few!

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      And so say most of us 🙂

    2. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Its not about being snappy, its about abusing google's search algorithms.

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Agree. FFS since Mark took more of a back seat seems to have become more business orientated. Presumably that is the way he wanted it to go, as he is in charge of the hiring and firing.

      It's something we're working to remedy.

      We're trying to get search terms in to work for SEO but it's at the expense of the old names; I'd also like to see them back, so hopefully we can come up with a solution sooner rather than later

      1. Darth_Krid
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Nice one Geoff! I’ve nothing against the new titles at all; they essentially say the same thing and of course the content within is still as informative as ever, but they did give each specific piece more of a personality 🙂

        1. Geoff

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 11 Years

          Yeah definitely, it's an emotional attachment as much as anything. But I still miss them

    4. Richd

      The old content too.

  6. Weasel51

    Arnie or Richarlison on a WC

    1. barton fc

      arnie

    2. Debauchy

      Rich, but hardly a fair question

      1. Weasel51

        I’ve put below my potential wildcard team

    Long overdue thus article..

  9. barton fc

    is selling alonso to fund lacca a good move on WC?

    1. potatoace
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Possibly. Depends who to really.

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Absolutely not. Even when Alonso is 'off his game' he's returning clean sheets. Put him in and forget he even exists

      1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
        • 7 Years

        +1

      2. potatoace

        What if it was Luiz ?

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe. I would prefer to hold awhile though. Surely you have other ways to fund the move if on a WC ?

    4. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Still ticking nicely

      No other way for Lacazette?

      1. barton fc
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        no other way to afford

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Alonso is the best PPM player in the game...

    6. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I think Alonso to Luiz could work out

  10. Weasel51

    Hennessey
    Alonso Robertson Trippier
    Hazard Sterling Bilva Fraser
    Kane Arnie Wilson

    No need to wildcard yet?

    Foster fab

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      That's a close one. You could field quite good team this week with thin bench. Planning to sell Kane?

      1. Rash
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        The original plan was to sell Kane but tempted to hold 1 more week then ship him out. I can field a strong team next gameweek but no man city players which of course is a little risky.

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      9 at the back looks good , save

      1. Rash
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Plenty value in defence 😉

        1. Debauchy
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Aye, I would do Kane to Kun though, looks best Cpt choice next even with 60 min ?

          1. Rash
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            That was my original plan but thinking of going with sterling instead or maybe KDB. Those 60 minutes ain't too appealing tbh.

    3. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      No Liverpool defence is not good. Clean sheets look nailed like a coffin

      1. Rash
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Next gameweek I can downgrade Kane to fund tomkins upgrade.

        1. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Huddersfield haven't scored at home this season

          1. Rash
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Maybe so but I fancy double wolves defence to get me points against Watford so think I can wait a week.

        2. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Personally I would WC the sh|t out of that team. It's not that it's no good, it's just that I'm looking at it thinking I would love to downgrade Kane and Salah and get in as many of Sterling, Robbo, Mitro, Rich, Mendy and Arnie as possible. And sort out Tomkins and Stephens :0

          1. Pacer.
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Maybe in two weeks?

          2. Rash
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 5 months ago

            Thanks for your input. Normally I've used my wildcard by early September but I'm trying a new approach and doing quite well (13k OR) the patient approach cost me getting onto hazard hattrick though which was painful as a former non owner.

            1. Pacer.
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 5 months ago

              There's a nice swing from BOU and WOL to WHU in about 11. I used my WC in the first int break to success but have still been following with intent of potential mini-WC to lose Fraser/Wilson and restructure.

  12. barton fc
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    on wildcard which is best? (own doherty)

    A. ryan bennett lacca
    B. Patrício alonso arnie

    1. Jam0sh
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Probably B

    2. Neves say Neves
      • 5 Years

      A

  13. West Hammered
    • 7 Years

    Save FT this week?

    Hennessey
    Alonso Cook Doherty
    Haz Dilva Salah Madd Rich
    Arnie Aguero
    Stek Bennett AWB Success
    0.7 ITB 1FT
    Was thinking Cook to TAA but he has a nice fixture anyway and think I would rather get in Robbo when I have more funds

  14. FPL DONKEY
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Tinkering with my WC. Which is best?

    Laporte/De Bruyne/Lacazette
    or
    Alonso/Maddison/Aguero

    1. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Ar this time AMA , can manouvre later

      1. FPL DONKEY
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        I'll probably do that out of fear. The bottom three have much higher ownership!

  15. FPL Pillars
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    I have Hennessey in goal and missed the Patricio rise and am priced out as have 0.0itb and got hen at 4.5.

    I think i will have to keep hen for this week and then change to fab next week potentially.

  16. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Still have a while but can't seem to settle on a captain between:

    A) Aguero (BUR)
    B) Hazard (MNU)
    C) Salah (hud)

    Any thoughts?

    1. antis0cial
      • 7 Years

      Salah, may as well just have mane if you’re not gonna cpt salah vs Huddersfield

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        capt vs CAR tho 😉

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Will certainly captain him the following week vs Cardiff...

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      A, will be well rested and ready to fire

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      didn't think of (c) to hazard but that could pay off handsomely.

      It's tough, need more info from international break and see what happens.

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Was too slow to react to Salah's form for the captaincy last year and want to avoid that mistake with Hazard this. But Aguero's rest and fixture are pushing it very close.

        1. FPL Pillars
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          maurie will look to be negative that's my worry i would hold off capt when kun has BUR and liverpool have hud

    4. Madmag
      • 7 Years

      Aguero after a nice 2 week rest for me

  17. AlpoShearer
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Which one?

    A. Patricio and Wilson (own Dorethy and Fraser)
    B. Allison and Ings/Jimenez (own Robertson)

    Couple of quick questions:

    For gw9 only
    1) Hazard + Jimenez (-4) or
    2) Morrison (cardiff def with a big goal threat) + Kane

    for the next few fixtures
    A: Jimenez (WAT, bha, TOT)
    B: Ings (bou, NEW, mci)

    Leaning towards 2B

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      1. Just get Hazard now.

    2. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      GW9, that's a toss-up, I'd probably say 2, but Haz needs to come in for GW10.

      For the next few fixtures, I think there's better value if you find 1m or so to upgrade. I have Ings and may well keep for the next 2, but I'd like to move him out for Murray or Arny soon.

  20. That Was Easy!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Am I crazy to wait another week on Hazard? Current team:

    Ederson
    Alonso Mendy TAA
    Salah Mane Rich Fraser
    Aguero Mitrovic Ings

    Hamer; WB, Tomkins, Kante....1FT, 1.8itb

    One more week would give me a better understanding of who I want to drop for Hazard, and if it's Salah, I'd have a huge amount of cash to fund a 2nd transfer.

      gone this long, it can wait with pool playing hud

        Yep, FH him in and captained him last week, so I luckily got 1 haul.

  21. Wılly
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    A. Aguero + Yarmalenko
    B. KDB + Arnautovic

    1. Geoff
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I can't wait for KDB to be back. I'm floundering in Draft without him.

      It's meant I was first to get Kepa (with Alisson) and has helped in a few ways but now I need wins!

      1. Pacer.
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        He's looking super value at

        1. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          Just wrote a long post and it cut it off. Why!???

    2. That Was Easy!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      KDB needs to 1) start, 2) look good from an FPL perspective before you bring him in. He's likely to stay in the team for a long time, there's no need to get ahead of the curve with him right now.

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Agreed, could very well wish you’d left it if bringing him in too early

    3. Darth_Krid
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      When any player has been out a while, no matter how good they are, I always want to see at least a game or two before I think about getting them back in.

      Most players take game time to get up to speed and there’s also a higher chance of reaggravating the injury when just back.

      9.7 is ridiculous value for a player of his calibre though and perhaps the one player immune to the Pep carousel.

    Playing about with a light forward line on WC how does this look?
    Pat(fab)
    Alonso robbo Mendy trip (Bennett)
    Salah hazard sterling (kenedy hoj)
    Arnie ings wilson

    1. SPorting
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      With that front line I’d expect KdB to be in there somewhere.

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

        Can do sterling to KDB when he is back if fit and firing

  23. Madmag
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Does anyone else who's been properly watching salah this season think he seems slower in the mind this season (indecisive). Where as last season he played on instinct. Why the loss of confidence? He started ok

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

      I think he just needs a rest. Needed time to recover after shoulder injury and was straight into world cup. Could do with 2 weeks off now

      1. Madmag
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Bloody Ramos! Saw he had his shoulder taped in the psg game but he was out of the world cup in the group stage. It seems to me he feels the pressure of repeating his incredible past season. Hope I'm wrong and he smashes hudds even if I don't bring him back!

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

      I think the world cup has had a big impact on pools front 3. They didnt have a proper rest nor pre season.

      1. Surfeit of Lampteys
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        Salah and mane both went out in the group stages and firmino hardly played. Seems like a proper rest to me

    3. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Agree but just needs a couple of tap ins and its all change

  24. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Hi...looking to invest in a mid priced striker. Wildcard is available for later down the line....any opinion on best option out of:

    A...Murray

    B...Arnie

    C....mitro

    Thanks

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Mitro short term
      Arnie after 11

    2. Monkey Hanger

      CAB.

    Best replacement for Bilva?(9.7m ITB)

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      I'd be tempted to hang onto him, until KDB is fit and firing.

      1. Vobinho
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Definately.

    I have WC this week, which team do we prefer and any other changes you would make?

    Pat / Stek
    Alonso / DUFFY / Robbo / Trippier / AWB
    Hazard / Mane / RICHARLISON / MADDISON / BROOKS
    Mitro / King / Aguero

    or

    Pat / Stek
    Alonso / MENDY / Robbo / Trippier / AWB
    Hazard / Mane / FRASER / NEVES / GUDMONSSON
    Mitro / King / Aguero

    thanks

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years

      Prefer A

    2. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure about big 4 at back when you have 4 solid MF and 3 STR unless you have a specific rotation plan in mind. Surely Docherty is impossible to ignore and bank money for coming weeks or upgrade.

      Don't buy Neves. He's class but useless for fpl

    What's everyone's team value this far into the season?

    1. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Points over pounds they say, but I'll take £103.7 for now :O

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 5 months ago

        mine is only 103.1, but i will take the extra 72 points over 0.6

        1. G-Whizz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 6 Years

          So would I!!!

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      104.6

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        How tf do you get to 104.6!? Nice work

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 5 months ago

          i don't know Woody haha! It just seems to happen https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/entry/47131/history

    3. antis0cial
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      104.3

    4. Goat
      • 6 Years

      102.9

    5. Holmes

  28. Tabbara
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC:
    Fabianski Button
    Robertson Dunk Alonso Doherty Bennett
    Obiang Hazard Maddison Richarlison Mane
    Lacazette Aguero Mitrovic

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      i like it alot

  29. olliejames
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 5 months ago

    Pick one:

    King or Wilson!!!

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      These two plus Fraser will split the points probably pretty evenly over the season. Stick a pin in, but make sure whichever one you get, keep and never think of swapping for one of the other two. 🙂

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      From the two, i’d pick King

    3. Madmag
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Prob Wilson even though he misses more chances than he scores plays most advanced and is chipping in with a lot of assists too.

  30. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    You think Kun's EO will be higher in GW9 then Kane's in GW8?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 5 months ago

      Yep
