Suspensions

FPL suspensions: Toney one booking away from a ban

In this regular article, we look at the latest Fantasy Premier League (FPL) disciplinary situation.

We also round up which FPL assets are already suspended – or returning from a ban – ahead of Gameweek 28.

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


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.

We have long since passed the cut-off point for five yellow cards, so now the target to avoid is 10 cautions.


THE RACE TO (AVOID) 10 BOOKINGS

There are three players at immediate risk of a two-match suspension, the most notable of whom from a Fantasy perspective is Ivan Toney (£7.8m).

He picked up his ninth booking of the season late on in Brentford’s win over Southampton, so is now one caution away from a two-match ban.

Toney has to get through the Bees’ next six matches without a yellow card in order to avoid that fate. If he’s booked this weekend against Leicester City, he’ll miss out on the entirety of Double Gameweek 29.

Ruben Neves (£5.4m) and Cheick Doucoure (£5.0m) are also sitting on nine cautions, so face an uphill task to avoid a suspension.


CURRENTLY SUSPENDED OR RETURNING FROM A BAN

FPL suspensions: Jesus and Gordon one booking away from a ban 1

Joao Palhinha (£4.9m) became the first Premier League player to reach 10 yellow cards, swiftly followed by Joelinton (£5.9m).

Both players were slapped with two-match bans and will return in Gameweek 29.

In terms of red cards, Wout Faes (£4.2m) will be suspended for Gameweek 28 after being dismissed for two bookable offences against Chelsea.

Casemiro (£4.9m) was sent off for the second time this season against Southampton and will now face a four-match suspension, although one of these fixtures will be the FA Cup quarter-final tie against Fulham.

He’ll be back in Gameweek 31.

    WC this week. BB 29

    9 for this week
    11 doubles 4 singles

    Trying to have a balanced squad with the right players going forward.

    Pope* / Kepa*
    Chill* Estu* Tripp* James* Zinchenko
    Mitoma* MacAllister* Rashy* Saka Marti
    Watkins* Kane Haaland

      Who would you transfer in next week? If you're gonna do only 9 this week it must be with the intention to transfer one of the playing people this week (and singler next week) to a doubler next week, no?

      1. Fit_to_drop
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Holding a transfer in case of injury trouble after international break. If not, might convert single to double. Maddison maybe.

          Makes sense but a bit too conservative for all the wild FPL action 🙂
          I'd probably prefer a 10th this week who can double next week. I think Maddison's 3 games outscores the Brighton mids' 2 games.

          1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
            • 2 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            And also looking 4 games ahead, I think Maddison's next 4, he outscores the Brighton mids' next 3 games.

              Is that what YouTube and Twitter say?

              Coz stats say something else.

              1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
                • 2 Years
                1 year, 1 month ago

                The stats say Maddison has more points per match than either Mitoma or Macallister this season.

                  Over the season - you said next 3 games.

                    But where are the stats for the next 3 games?

      If you're WCing this week - get 11. You can bench 3 GW29 doublers and make another FT

    3. adam wigan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      How about downgrading one of your keepers to Steele and swapping Estupinan for a Brentford / Newcastle defender

  2. space mercenary

    If I had used BB this week I would have been GW rank. No. 1.

        Not necessarily, it may might just be a pronoun thing.

        What if your uncle was Yer Auntie Formerly Known As Priscilla?

        Quite common nowadays I believe.

      Zinch

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam

        1. AD105
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Yes, think you could flip a coin between these 2

        2. g40steve
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Either are good but probably Zinch time to haul.

    i really struggle with that 5/5.5 m spot in my wc team. some good options for this gw (billing almiron) but also tempted by brighton (march/macallister) who look good for bb gw29, who would you go for? billing or almiron mean I could have 11 starters this gw. cheers

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Go with a 28 player & reassess next week

  6. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Got 1FT & want to use BB 29?

    Where to use FT should get another before 29.

    Raya,
    Mee, Trippier, Zinch, Chilwell
    Saka, Ode, Maddison,
    Kane, Toney,

    Sanchez, Rashford, Purvis, Mitoma, Haaland

    1FT

      Uncle Toney here to help, who is Purvis? Can they be sold for a playing player?

  7. Zenith UK
    • 7 Years

    75(-4) and still a red arrow. Blimey.

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Big scores this week!

      1. Zenith UK
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Only an 8% red but still.

        Did hurt benching White over Badiashile. Potter giving him four minutes for absolutely no reason. Salah blank and Toney's pointless yellow card all stacked up I guess...

    2. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Sorry... 81(-4) and still a red... Like, come on?

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        102 no hits this week.

        1. Zenith UK
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Love that. You FHing or WCing in the next two weeks (28/29)?

          1. g40steve
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            WC26 got hammered by Pool just recovered & 10 for 28 & BB 29 is my plan

            1. Zenith UK
              • 7 Years
              1 year, 1 month ago

              Ahh fairs. So I didn't have my WC so I'm navigating next two weeks with hits.

              Thoughts?
              Kepa
              Badiashile, White, Henry, Burn, Kilman
              Odegaard, Andreas^
              Kane (c), Toney, Haaland^

              Ward, Rashford^, Salah^, Mitoma^

              A) Haaland & Andreas > Watkins & Saka/Martinelli or Maddison (-4)
              B) Salah & Andreas > Saka/Martinelli and Maddison (-4)

              Excluding transfers means GW29 (was thinking White/Kilman to Trippier (for free));
              A) = 10 DGWers
              B) = 9 DGWers

      2. Utopsis
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I think 80+ is a good score this week

        1. Zenith UK
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Guess, technically I was on 77. I can comfortably say my transfers were profitable though..

          Nketiah > Toney +13 and I captained Toney so arguably +26
          Trent > Henry +6

          So either 19 - 4 or 32 - 4 depending on how you look at it.

    3. PastaFasul
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      85 and a red arrow...thanks to that late, soft yellow card for Toney

      1. Planet Head
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Surely would've been red before that card anyway as it was before his assist

        Got a tiny green arrow after scoring 51 points from tonight's 2 games 😆

    4. Gross Blank Point
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      86 and a 15% red arrow for me, brutal.

    5. Supersonic_
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      82-8. Doesn't bode well for me

  8. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Half hoping Toney gets booked vs Leicester...

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Thinking of rolling the cap for one last ride, easy Watkins/Havertz move

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Am in a real pickle given I'm free hitting this week and then I get him back. Not sure what I want.

      1. Steve Stiffler
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        well in that case you dont want a yellow lol

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Then I can just bench him for the DGW tho knowing he won't be playing either game.

          1. Zenith UK
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            Or knowing he misses two fixtures you just do a straight Toney > Watkins (free)? Assuming you don't have Watkins

            1. Mr. O'Connell
              • 11 Years
              1 year, 1 month ago

              Something like that. Or Andreas > March/Mac and play 3-5-2.

          2. Planet Head
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 1 month ago

            He'll be back in time for his season ban

    3. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Uncle Toney here to help, I personally hope not…

  9. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost

    Anyone fancying a punt on Billing?

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      won't find space for him

      1. Triple Free Bench Hit Boost
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yeh, more a differential... everyone and their dog has Mitoma, Mac, March, Martinelli, Maddison and any midfielder beginning with the letter M.

        1. Red Star Toro
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Marcus Rashford and Mo Salah disappointed me this week, with Martin Odegaard scoring on my bench.

  10. Red Star Toro

    1 year, 1 month ago

    thoughts on this WC?

    Kepa (Steele)
    Chilwell, Trippier, Botman, Zinchenko (Shaw)
    Saka, Martinelli, Maddison (Rashford, Mitoma)

    Money in the bank to do Havertz/Watkins after BB in 29.

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Pretty similar to mine - but you have a tad more $. Like it.

      1. Red Star Toro
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        cheers mate. I posted below a draft with Haaland still in - mind sharing your opinion on that one too?

        1. Connor's Calling
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Prefer more doublers on BB - so top one

    2. Zenith UK
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Havertz/Watkins > Haaland I assume you mean?

      1. Red Star Toro
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        yes, Havertz/Watkins to Haaland obviously, sorry. I was also playing with an idea of keeping him on the WC like this:

        Kepa (Steele)
        Chilwell, Trippier, Botman, White, James
        Saka, Martinelli, Maddison (Rashford, Mitoma)
        Watkins Kane (Haaland)

        and sparing myself the trouble of bringing him in later. But no value tied so I still wonder what's better.

        1. Zenith UK
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Fancy Havertz over Toney on WC? I like the team though to be fair. Second team has James instead of Shaw too? Risky

    3. AD105
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I’m on very similar, avoiding Toney now because of that YC?

      1. Red Star Toro
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I still might go Toney over Havertz but yeah, on a WC I'm not so sure he's such a great pick with the ban imminent if I can field 11 for 28 anyway

        1. AD105
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Havertz could easily be a trap, would all be much easier if Haaland was just playing…

  11. Tcheco
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Estupinan or Chilwell long term?

    Obviously can’t compare them GW28 but it affects transfers elsewhere.

    Keeping Estupinan allows me Maddison & Watkins in 29 (losing Salah) + allows me Haaland back in 30

    Getting Chilwell means having to choose between Maddison & Watkins in 29 & keeping Salah. Also means getting Haaland back 1 week later (GW 31)

    1. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't get Chilwell if that meant waiting one extra week for Haaland.

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Plan A sounds less stressful.

    3. Planet Head

      Chilwell, easy

    That Toney assist was life-giving. 103 PTS; beats my Triple Captain Rashford score by 1.

    He was a 100% troll for me last season, but has delivered in all 3 Gameweeks I've had him this season.

  14. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    On WC...(BB 29)

    A) Kepa + Havertz

    B) Ward + Toney

    1. Steve Stiffler
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A

    2. AD105
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Currently have Kepa, Ward & Toney myself, depends if Toney stays out of trouble though

      Good luck either way, fellow Tractor Boy?

  15. Steve Stiffler
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    How is this plan:

    GW28 - 10 players
    GW29 - Tarkowski > Estupinian (11 doublers)
    GW30 - Salah, Toney > Bruno, Haaland (-4)

    1. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years

      Sounds good.

  16. klopptimusprime

    Thoughts with 9 players & 4.3m ITB

    a) Roll
    b) Mbeumo -> Watkins
    c) Mbeumo -> Havertz
    d) Estupinan -> Chilwell

    Ward
    Trippier - White - Mee
    Saka - Odegaard
    Kane - Toney - Mbeumo

    Ederson - Bruno - Rash - Mitoma - Estupinan - Shaw

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      D and play 10

      1. klopptimusprime
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        sounds the most logical, cheers!

    2. sirmorbach

      I second that.

    97 all out, bloody Salah!

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy

      104 with 3 to play

      1. SEXY SALAH

    Best 2 Arsenal mids on a WC?

    Martinelli is exciting but Saka/Ode probably more sensible long term with minutes guaranteed?

    1. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years

      Saka and Ode, Jesus back means benchings for Martinelli

      Really like it but would be worried about the James & Chilwell combo with just Amartey & Tomkins as defensive bench options.

    Sunday night I'm losing the scout cup match 36 to 64. Just checked now and I've won 91 to 88. What a crazy gameweek with only 2 doublers. At this rate gw29 is gonna be mental

      Wow

    Dunk/Estupinan > Botman and just play 10 this week leading to BB DGW29?

    1. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes.

    2. Snake Juice
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I'd be fine with getting rid of Dunk.

      Estu, not so much.

      • 4 Years

      Dunk and yes

    101 on a free hit.
    I guess that makes up for that week when I forgot the GW25 deadline and only 6 starting...

      Nice. Always great to break the ton.

  23. AD105

    Toney or Havertz on a WC?

  24. El Presidente
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    So the WC26 has definitely won this GW and gain back some of those 20-30 pts lost. We now go to BGW28 and I have a feeling WC26 will claw back all of it. At the end of the day....

    Is the DGW in GW29 the biggest left of the season? Will there be another DGW coming up?

    1. Snake Juice
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      29's the biggest

    2. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes a few -think Gw34 will host those not playing next week.

      I believe GW29 biggest double left tho

  26. DA Minnion (Former great)

    My season has been so poor I've not been able to brag once . This week 105 .
    Worthy of a humble one.

    1. Connor's Calling

      *well played*

    2. CheesyZoot
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Likewise got 105 and my best OR so far this year at 244K

      Says something about this season! Would be very pleased finishing inside top 100K at this rate

      1. DA Minnion (Former great)
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yeah I'm well off that.

          Yer, shame it wasn't in the same vibe as your original post haha. I'm with you: season-high score of 97. And still at 4.5 million OR haha.

        Well played.
        I managed 104 and gw rank 260K. (Best of season)
        Last week rank 9million plus (worst of season)
        Virtually the same team.

    Post March finally getting his due goal, who would you get for GW29:

    A) March (cheaper)
    B) Mac Allister (pens?)

    1. Snake Juice
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      March

    2. Fit_to_drop
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B still assuming he continues in that role

    3. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Uncle Toney here to help, I would go B

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        lovely reply!

        1. SEXY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          No problem, that’s what Uncle Toneys are for

  28. CheesyZoot

    Field 10 or -4 Haaland to Havertz/Watkins?

    Then whoever comes in back to Haaland in 30...

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Live a little with Ollie.

      1. CheesyZoot
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Almost feel like Havertz is living a little and Ollie is the safe pick

        1. DA Minnion (Former great)
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Living a little is taking the hit. Ollie better chance than Havertz of covering it.

    2. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      i'd prob roll the dice and get one.

      1. CheesyZoot
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yeh I'm leaning that way

    3. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Uncle Toney here to help, I would field 10 rather than sell Haaland

  29. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Re-think post Toney's YC...

    A) Kepa, March, Havertz

    B) Ward, Mac Allister, Toney

    (assuming all play in GW29 for BB)

    1. SEXY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Uncle Toney here to help, B

      1. BECKS TO THE FUTURE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I hate Uncle Toney

        1. SEXY SALAH

          Why?

  30. grooveymatt65

    Hey guys here's my team:

    Kepa/ Iversen

    Dawson Trippier White Henry/ Bueno

    Rashford Saka Salah Macallister Mitoma

    Toney Darwin Haaland

    (1.4 itb 1ft)

    The main question is would you FH this team this gw or in 29?

    If I do free hit this week:

    I can use it to bring differentials like Son and then use 2 transfers next gameweek for -4 to take out single GW players (something like Saka and Haaland to Maddison and Solanke) so I will have 9 players for the big double next gameweek.

    if I don't free hit this week:

    I can do Salah and Darwin to Maddison and Kane I can get 8 GW players out for -4 and then use my free hit next week, to bring in whoever I want for the big double gw next week!

    thanks guys!!!!
