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

And we bring you good news, for once: not one player can now pick up a ban for yellow card accumulation.


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.

Every team has now contested 32 fixtures.


THE RACE TO (AVOID) 15 BOOKINGS

The next target to avoid for Premier League players is 15 bookings by the end of the campaign.

Joelinton (£6.0m) can still reach that number but any suspension he picks up would be served in 2023/24.

    Which midfielder would you sell to bring in Salah?

    A) Saka
    B) Maddison

        Why? Arsenal have tougher fixtures.

        I'm leaning towards selling Saka.

      The weaker link seems to be Madds but next 3 for him are great. If he's fit

    6. Bobby_Baggio
      • 15 Years

      Maddi

  2. Tigger_7
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    WC also active

    DDG
    TAA, Trippier, Estupinan,
    Mitoma, De Bruyne (vc), Grealish, Ward-Prowse
    Watkins, Jota, Haaland (c)

    Subs - Iversen, March, Botman, Shaw

    €1.1M in the bank to upgrade Ward-Prowse to Rashford for DG34
    11 playing then in DG34 + Halland (TC)

    Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

    Feeling a bit weird to remove a DGW for Salah next GW and may go a bit differential...

    GW 33:
    Zinchenko -> Robertson
    Kane -> Jota

    GW 34:
    Henry -> Stones/Ake/Akanji

    DGW 34 Team (only doublers)
    DDG*
    Robertson* - TAA* - Stones*
    Rashford* - Fernandes* - March* - MacAllister* - Mitoma*
    Jota* - Haaland*

    Raya - Trippier - Botman - Watkins

    Yay or Nay?

    OR 62k but chasing ML by 40 points.

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Depends which one - got a lot of eggs in a Brighton shaped basket there. I am also not convinced on a Liverpool double up at the back - for the large sum invested in Trent and Robbo you want some clean sheets with the possible attacking returns.

      1. MGD
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, true its just that i dont want to give up any of the midfield spots for the DGW, haha...

        But going Salah-less could hurt.

        I believe both Robertson and Trent offers attacking return that could compensate for lack of CS but yeah its a gamble.

  4. Wheato182
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which one to bench??

    A) Macalister
    B) Saka
    C) Mahrez

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. trinzoo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A) playing deep

    3. Wheato182

      Cheers chaps

  5. Deulofail

    1 more transfer before WC in GW34

    A) Jota (whu) > Haaland (ARS)
    B) Jota (whu) > Isak (eve)
    C) Toney (che) > Isak (eve)
    D) Saka (mci) > ? (Mac Allister? Joelinton?)
    E) Botman (TOT) > ? (James?)

    Iversen (Ward)
    Robertson Trippier Botman (Henry Gabriel)
    Salah Saka Mitoma March (Odegaard)
    Jota Watkins Toney | 3.4 ITB

      I know its desperately boring but A.

      I'm in the same WC boat, but have the cash to get Saka to KdB... just feel City are going to tear them apart.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think its got to be A. I don't like making decisions on EO, but with Saliba out, City are likely to get goals and Haaland likely to be involved.

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C

    4. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why would you sell Jota?? Confused here and by the responses above. Jota doubles in 34 and could easily haul across one or two of those fixtures. IF I had to be pushed maybe for Haaland but certainly not for Isak (who is just as likely to be rotated)

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        WC in GW 34

    5. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Botman (eve)*

    6. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers all. Still very torn on this one

  6. Mayor of Flair
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    So Veltman is fit then ya?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Fit enough to come off the bench when needed during a major semi-final. Fit enough to start 3 days later in what should be a comfortable PL game for Brighton? Ask Roberto

  7. hazza44
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hey guys,
    Any suggested transfers this week? 1FT & 0.3mil in the bank.

    Thinking Kane downgrade and getting in Salah is the most logical?

    Raya (Kepa)
    Tripp Diaz Mings (Gabriel Shaw)
    Bruno Saka Mitoma March (Rashford)
    Haaland Kane Watkins

    Cheers guys.

  8. dansmith1985
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    WC activated for BB34,any changes you guys can see I should make?

    0.9 bank

    Ederson
    Trippier TAA Shaw
    Grealish Rashford Salah March Mitoma
    Haaland Isak

    Alisson Estupinan Solanke Coufal

    1. El Muñeco
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Downgrade one of your keepers to upgrade Solanke

  9. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Really going to have to move some mountains to get Salah in for 34.

    Raya,Kepa
    Shaw, TAA, Schar, Tripps, Mee
    Rashford, Saka, Martinelli, March, Mitoma
    Haaland, Kane, Watkins

    Planning to roll FT then do Kane, Saka, Schar to Toney, Salah, Estu/Dunk for -4 next week.

    Sound like a reasonable plan? Gives me 8 DGWers and 3 SGW with a reasonable fixture.

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Or sell Mee if I have the money, keep Schar for the DGW

    2. Kikofraeuropa
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It sounds reasonable to take a -4 hit to get Salah, but I wouldn't get rid of Schar as Newcastle has DGW 36. Furthermore I think Isak is a better pick than Toney.

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Good points and I agree. Isak will allow me to sell Mee for Estu next gw instead.

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Reasonable plan, as above prefer other options with doubles ahead of Toney

    4. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks all.

      Didn't save my FT and just went for Saka and Kane to Salah and Isak this week for a hit. Can bring another DGW34er next gw

      Fingers crossed.

  10. Kikofraeuropa
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play one for GW33

    A) Saka
    B) Grealish

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Grealish

  11. Karan_G14
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ederson
    Trippier Botman Estu
    Bruno Rashford Mitoma March
    Kane Haaland Watkins

    (Kepa Odegaard Shaw Chilwell)

    Bruno to Grealish for free?

    I’m priced out of owning Salah & TAA without selling Bruno & Kane now.
    So makes sense to sell Bruno this week rather than waiting for next week?

  12. tibollom
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Hows this looking guys? 1 FT, plan is to do Kane to Jota and next week take a hit for saka + Maddison to Rash + Salah.. Jota becomes Isak in 36..

    Raya Kepa
    White Trippier Mings Shaw Veltman
    Saka Marti Mitoma Mac Maddison
    Haaland Kane Watkins

    1. tibollom
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      alternative could be kane saka to isak salah for -4pts now, so no jota

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not to dissimilar to my plan, so looks good. Assume you bench Maddi in 33. Who do you bench in 34?

      1. tibollom
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        yea either maddi or mac in 33.. for 34 i havent thought that far yet lol

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          You'll have a strong front 8. There is an argument to just downgrade one of the forwards or mids to fodder so worth thinking it through. Not saying your plan isn't good.

          1. tibollom
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            yea thanks mate

      2. tibollom
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        i guess id be something like this for 34:

        Raya
        Shaw Veltman Trippier
        Rash salah marti mito
        haaland jota watkins

        kepa mac white mings

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Swap Mac & Watkins imo

          1. tibollom
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            yea forgot the double for a sec, watkins on the bench

          2. tibollom
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            my only issue with waiting is price changes..i've got exact funds for those gw34 moves

            1. The Mentaculus
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 1 month ago

              Sounds like we won't get a full round of pressers before deadline this week (with some on Wed) so not the worst time to make early moves if you have to

              1. tibollom
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 1 month ago

                yea just checked anyways and cant afford saka salah without selling maddison, not keen on a -8

    3. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good moves. I'm doing similar

      1. tibollom
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        thanks mate, which one, -4 now or just kane to jota

        1. BrockLanders
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah, just Kane to Jota this week. Other 2 next

  13. George James
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do this move below now for -4 or free in 34?

    Bruno + Kane >> Salah + Isak

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Hmm hadn't thought of Isak. I like those. Will probably do Kane and Saka to Salah and Isak for a hit

    2. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd do it now.

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What will you do with your FT in 34? I presume you probably will want to us it, in which case you are taking a hit anyway in which case i'd probably do it now

      1. George James
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        It would leave me exact funds for Henry >> Trent in 34

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          So you are going to need a hit - therefore making two of the moves now gives you least chance of being priced out.

  14. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Team and bench gtg? If Bruno injury doubt will play March. Plan is Bruno to Salah next week funded by Watkins to Greenwood or Solanke for -4

    Kepa
    Trent Trippier Estupinan
    Bruno F Rashford Grealish Mitoma
    Haaland (c) Jota Watkins

    Raya March Botman Shaw

  15. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thinking of selling Gabriel to Toti to save some money for Salah next GW.

    Any other cheapo defenders with a good fixture this week?

    1. tibollom
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      veltman

    2. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Lindelof

  16. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you prioritise Salah or Trent for this week, I can only get one (unless I -8)

    1. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Salah

    2. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I got both for a -8, should make up for it in the DGW.

      1. The Mighty Whites
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Can't afford, I was going to do -4 for Kane & Saka to Isak & Salah this week, then a -4 next week for Raya & Henry to Steele & Trent

    3. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mo, fancy West Ham to score

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Liv are allergic to clean sheets so I agree.

  17. Baileyflop
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Benching headaches make the game more fun, right? Have I got this right?

    Raya (De gea)

    Estu, TAA, Trip (Shaw, Akanji)

    Salah, Rashford, Grealish, Marsh (Mitoma)

    Haaland (c), Isak, Jota

  18. PatrickDawson1976
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If Schar isn't fit v EVE, who do you think will replace him?

    1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Lascelles?

    2. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Lascelles

      1. PatrickDawson1976
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, that's what I thought but then I read that there are calls for dropping Burn and starting Targett. I'm thinking that Burn may move to CB and Targett at LB if Schar is out???

  19. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bench one:
    March (nfo)
    Mitoma (nfo)
    Martinelli (mci)
    Rashford (tot)

    Currently benching Martinelli which feels... Wild

    1. trinzoo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Have the same dilemma, on Martinelli right now...

      1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Can't bench Rashford against a porous Spurs.

        Benching one or March or Mitoma may work, forest are good at home.

    2. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      March

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      On Rashford myself. Only other i'd consider is Martinelli. Tough. United not so great away, but Spurs off the back of a shocker. City will be tough but are not impenetrable.

    4. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      March reluctantly

    5. CheesyGonzalez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      MARCH

  20. bigdip
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    WC activated. Team gtg or any obvious changes to make? (only 0.1m itb).

    Johnstone (Iversen)
    TRIPPER* TOTI* Akanji TAA (Dalot)
    Grealish Salah Mitoma (March, Rashford)
    Haaland(c) Jota Isak

    A) Trip & Toti to Botman & Estupian
    B) Trip to Estupian (to make room for DDG for DGW 34)
    C) Any other suggestions within budget

  21. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Save ft here? 1 ft, 2.1m itb,

    Kepa
    Shaw trippier chilwell
    Bruno saka Grealish march mitoma
    Haaland Watkins

    Raya Toney Mee zinchenko

    1. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, good to save. Would be tempted to start Toney over March

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Would be against my double Chelsea defence though

    2. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'd be tempted to move Chillers to Trent

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Won’t be able to afford Salah then

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Sounds like you have a 2 FT plan for Salah so yes to rolling. Chilwell maybe not ideal but not worth messing up your GW34 plans & can play Zinchenko next GW.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers

  22. PascalCygan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Made a rare early transfer last night: Kane to Isak.

    I’ll wait to see how Bruno is fitness wise before deciding on my next move… one of these options?

    A) Saka to Salah (-4)
    B) Bruno to Salah (-4)
    C) Do it next week for free

    0FT 5.6ITB
    Kepa
    Trippier Schar Estupinan
    Bruno Rashford Saka Mitoma
    Haaland Isak Watkins

    Raya March Ake Pinnock

    Cheers

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Thanks. That’s what I’m thinking at the moment

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A - if you can afford to have Bruno and Salah then that looks tasty for 34

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks. That’s the hope!

  23. lilmessipran

    Pick one to start this gw-

    A Ederson
    B Kepa

      B

    2. BrockLanders

    Thinking of Kane, Saka > Salah, Isak for -4, or would you save and have 2FT for DGW 34?

    Kepa
    Trippier Estupinan Shaw
    Saka Martinelli Grealish Mitoma
    Haaland Kane Watkins

      With a very similar team, I am doing it this week because I will do Chilwell to Trent in 34 (3 transfers over 2 weeks so its a hit regardless). Only question for me is to get Jota in and switch to Isak in 36

    Reckon Lindelof keeps his place?

      Outsted by Phil Jones?

  26. FPL_WILDCARD

    Best midfield option from the Brighton Mids? (Already own Mitoma)…

    March, MacAllister or Gross?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably March on basis other two seems to be at risk of ending up much deeper

      March

    Maddison and Saka to Salah and Andreas for a hit?

    1. BrockLanders
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not for me

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Can you roll and do it in 34?

      1. Moneymar
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I’m leaning towards that yea

      Don't like it

      1. Moneymar
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Only reason im considering it is bc of dgw34. I have no WC or FH left

        Hi guys do we know why the twitter button isn't working in the app, it's been weeks cheers

        1. The Mentaculus
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Its just started working today (for me at least). Think it was undergoing an upgrade or had some technical issues

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Surely Maddison 100%
      City v.s Arsenal would be a big score match

    Hoping a Bruno injury makes this decision for me but assuming he’s fit bench one:

    A) Grealish
    B) Mitoma

    1. Moneymar
      • 3 Years

      B
