The Suspension Tightrope widget on our homepage keeps track of which Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players are racking up the yellow cards and how close they are to a one-match ban.

We’ll be checking in with the latest disciplinary situation on a regular basis as the season goes on, continuing with this article.

WHEN ARE THE CUT-OFF POINTS FOR SUSPENSIONS?

The table above is taken from the Football Association website and details the cut-off points for the various yellow card thresholds.

The one we’re concerned about right now is the five-caution mark, an unwanted target that Premier League players will have to avoid for their team’s first 19 league matches of the season.

Following the wave of postponements over the last week or so, that is no longer Gameweek 19.

Team19th fixture falls in…
ArsenalGameweek 21
Aston VillaGameweek 20
BournemouthGameweek 20
BrentfordGameweek 20
BrightonGameweek 21
ChelseaGameweek 21
Crystal PalaceGameweek 21
EvertonGameweek 20
FulhamGameweek 20
LeedsGameweek 21
LeicesterGameweek 20
LiverpoolGameweek 21
Man CityGameweek 21
Man UtdGameweek 21
NewcastleGameweek 20
Nottm ForestGameweek 20
SouthamptonGameweek 20
SpursGameweek 20
West HamGameweek 20
WolvesGameweek 20

The above will change if there are any rearrangements of the postponed fixtures before that but there are few available windows.

A reminder: punishments for yellow card accumulation are competition-specific, whereas suspensions for dismissals cover all competitive matches.

ON FOUR/THREE YELLOW CARDS

Scott McTominay (£4.9m) and Joao Palhinha (£5.0m) are now one booking away from a ban following cautions in Gameweek 6 but not one of the three players on four yellow cards is owned by any more than 0.3% of FPL managers.

There are two big names just one caution further back, however, in the form of Reece James (£6.0m) and Gabriel Jesus (£8.1m). There’s no need for any immediate concern of yet, of course, but they’ll have to avoid two bookings in their respective sides’ next 13 league fixtures to swerve a one-match ban.

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.

    Is it wise to be thinking about the first Wildcard yet or give it a bit longer and perhaps take a hit or two?

    Got 2 FT's and no idea...

    Sanchez
    Cancelo Trippier James
    Martinelli Salah KDB Gross
    Mitrovic Toney Jesus

    Ward Dunk Andreas Williams

    Obviously Haaland is the big miss but I don't fancy losing Mitro or Toney, and selling Jesus is risky

      Haaland has 20 more points than any other player and yet you don't want to get him? I'd just sell one of the others (Jesus' excellent fixtures soon dry up) and Salah to keep him company.

    Any particular reason why quite a few people are pondering being IN Son, on a WC or otherwise? I’ve just finally got rid of him after holding this long for 1 assist in 6 games.

    same every season, lots brave talk on here about getting rid of Mo because he isnt getting hauls every game, you do it..then he batters a team like Wolves at home. you'll have him transferred back in before he's made it down the tunnel at the end of the game.

      Agree to some extent with this, you don't become a bad player overnight and Mo is still ticking away despite not reaching his usual heights.

      I think Wolves will be tricky as they play quite defensive and Liverpools counter won't be as effective so they will really have to go for it.

      I'm on KDB, but have more than enough ITB to jump on Salah if i need to. Just doesn't feel like he is justifying his price so far this season. Liverpool in general look a bit clunky

        Obviously this week is a good time to dabble with an alternative option as he doesn't play, then there's the IB to bring him back on a WC if so desired.

        The thing will be if you bring in KDB or Son this week and they haul this week, it'll be even braver to bring Salah back in straight away.

    I think Arteta's subs made sense under the circumstances. If the game played out at 2-1, the story would be that Arsenal lost the game in the boxes and weren't clinical enough.

    He needed to get at least one of ESR and Nketiah onto the pitch, as they are the most clinical goal scorers Arsenal has right now. Getting them both on the field, along with Vieira, an assist king, could have resulted in a big swing, so kudos to Arteta for rolling the dice.

    Ramsdale
    White Saliba Gabriel
    Saka Vieira Xhaka ESR Martinelli
    Jesus Nketiah

    Arsenal actually have a strong bench, and it makes sense to use it to your advantage in a high-intensity game. Lokonga as DM was never ideal. And Viera and ESR are fresh technical players to help keep control of the midfield.

    The issue was more the speed at which they were able to adapt to 3-at-the-back on the night, particularly in that first minute, so perhaps they need more practice there.

    But if there's any narrative to back, I'd say it's that the game was lost more from the transfer window, not signing a quality DM.
