Anthony Gordon (ยฃ5.5m) will miss Gameweek 11 after collecting his fifth Premier League yellow card of the season in Everton’s defeat to Manchester United on Sunday, while Leicester City’s James Maddison (ยฃ8.2m) is now only one booking short of being suspended himself.
In this weekly article, we look at the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players who are a caution or two away from a one-match ban and which are assets are already suspended.
Weโll update this piece after Nottingham Forest v Aston Villa on Monday evening.
CURRENTLY BANNED
Five players are suspended for Gameweek 11, two of them as a result of yellow card accumulation.
Anthony Gordon and Manchester United’s Scott McTominay (ยฃ4.9m) reached that unwanted landmark in Sunday’s match at Goodison Park, so are now slapped with one-match suspensions.
Emerson Royal (ยฃ5.0m), Nathaniel Chalobah (ยฃ4.4m) and Nathan Collins (ยฃ4.5m) are serving three-match bans for straight red cards, with the latter returning in Gameweek 12 and the other two not available until Gameweek 13.
Luis Sinisterra (ยฃ6.5m) and Ruben Neves (ยฃ5.5m) will be newly available this weekend after their respective suspensions.
ON FOUR YELLOW CARDS
Two players received their fourth bookings of the season at the weekend, with the 18%-owned James Maddison the most significant name from an FPL perspective.
Budget Fulham midfielder Harrison Reed (ยฃ4.5m) is also now just one yellow card away from a ban.
Gabriel Jesus (ยฃ8.0m) remains on the precipice but got through another game without a caution on Sunday.
ON THREE YELLOW CARDS
Reece James (ยฃ6.1m), Aleksandar Mitrovic (ยฃ6.8m), Harry Kane (ยฃ11.4m), Ivan Toney (ยฃ7.3m) and William Saliba (ยฃ5.0m) are among the big names further back.
Thereโs no need for any immediate concern of yet, of course, but theyโll have to avoid two bookings between now and early 2023 to swerve a one-match ban.
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 weโre concerned about right now is the five-caution mark, an unwanted target that Premier League players will have to avoid for their teamโs first 19 league matches of the season.
Following the wave of postponements over the last month, that is no longer Gameweek 19.
| Team | 19th fixture falls inโฆ |
| Arsenal | Gameweek 21 |
| Aston Villa | Gameweek 20 |
| Bournemouth | Gameweek 20 |
| Brentford | Gameweek 20 |
| Brighton | Gameweek 21 |
| Chelsea | Gameweek 21 |
| Crystal Palace | Gameweek 21 |
| Everton | Gameweek 20 |
| Fulham | Gameweek 20 |
| Leeds | Gameweek 21 |
| Leicester | Gameweek 20 |
| Liverpool | Gameweek 21 |
| Man City | Gameweek 21 |
| Man Utd | Gameweek 21 |
| Newcastle | Gameweek 20 |
| Nottm Forest | Gameweek 20 |
| Southampton | Gameweek 20 |
| Spurs | Gameweek 20 |
| West Ham | Gameweek 20 |
| Wolves | Gameweek 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.
