Grealish avoids one-game ban as yellow card limit rises to ten for FPL players

397 Comments
Share

All 20 Premier League clubs have now fulfilled at least 19 top-flight fixtures, meaning that those players sitting nervously on four yellow cards have dodged the threat of a one-match ban.

Among them were Jack Grealish (£7.8m), whose Aston Villa side passed the halfway point of their season in the weekend win over Southampton.

Any Fantasy asset who collected five cautions in the English top flight before their team had completed 19 fixtures will have had to serve a one-match ban in the same competition.

Beyond the 19-game cut-off point, the limit moves up from five to ten bookings.

The threshold for ten yellow cards is after 32 league matches, which will be mid-April at the earliest.

Players collecting ten bookings before that point will serve a two-game ban.

Hector Bellerin (£5.1m) is leading the charge on that front, having racked up seven cautions already.

Punishments for yellow card accumulation are competition-specific, whereas suspensions for dismissals cover all competitive matches.

Keep your eyes peeled on our Suspension Tightrope widget over the coming weeks and months, as we’ll be updating that after every Gameweek to keep you informed on the latest disciplinary developments.

      It could really go either way, but DCL vs. Leeds is (hopefully) favourable and he may well have a DGW24.

      If you want, you can bench DCL vs MUN and play Soucek vs. FUL too.

      That was my thinking anyway, but my thinking is flawed since I sold Bamford for him!

      Soucek could randomly haul again, hard to predict his points.

      Bamford on the bench could hurt after he seems to have hit a bit of form (I sold him for a hit last week 🙁 ). But, to be fair I'd only really consider Antonio or DCL to be benched instead and all could score. So just go with your gut.

      Team looks fine.

          Likewise then

          Dias has now played 90 minutes for 20/1 on the spin, I think that's unique for a Pep outfielder - even Laporte when he was uber nailed was rested.

        Seems like majority of the crowd are going with salah (c) but could he get rested/limited mins. Bit of fixture congestion and big game against city coming up

        Have sterling who's just gotten his rest...

          Ordinarily I'd say possibly yes but Mane situation says he goes again not least as he's had a recent rest. Klopp will want him fired up.

        Don't know if anyone's posted this on here yet but this guy has created a bot that posts on twitter when a footballer transfers in/out one of their teammates from their FPL team. Absolute genius.

        I will probably wildcard in gw 25 so I need a 3 weeks defender punt.

        Is Digne over TAA worth it, with that in mind that there is a rumour that Everton will get double gameweek in 24?

        Digne 22:lee 23:mu 24:FUL(MCI)
        TAA 22:BRI 23:MCI 24:lei

        In a generous mood today so I thought I'd share the news that after benching Soucek and Bamford the last 2GWs for their hauls respectively, I'm looking at benching Soucek this week. Feel free to captain. You're welcome 🙂
