Suspensions September 18

Which FPL players are nearing a one-match ban?

Nicolas Jackson (£7.1m) is not only struggling to produce any attacking returns, he’s also only one yellow card away from a ban.

Yes, our Suspension Tightrope series – as well as the accompanying widget on our homepage – has been relaunched for the 2023/24 season.

We’re keeping track of which Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players are racking up the yellow cards and how close they are to a one-match ban.

This article also reveals when the cut-off dates are for suspensions and how many bookings our players have to avoid in order to dodge a 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 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.

That’ll be Gameweek 19 in most cases. Manchester City and Brentford, who contest their 19th fixture in Gameweek 20, are the exceptions.

Of course, any postponements, whether they be weather-related or Covid-enforced, would change that situation.

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

ON FOUR/THREE YELLOW CARDS

All of Jackson’s bookings have come for dissent, a result of the threshold for that offence being reduced at the start of the season.

He’s not the only one sitting precariously on four bookings, as Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon (£5.5m) is also on the verge of a ban.

Bruno Fernandes (£8.4m) is a notable name on three cautions.

Lucas Paqueta (£6.0m), who has committed more fouls than any other Premier League player this season (13), is also two bookings away from a 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.

    Johnstone (turner)
    chilly ruben estup (colwill gab)
    madderson saka mitoma Rashford bruno
    Jackson Haaland (semenyo)

    best option?
    A) madderson/saka > mbeumo
    B) wildcard

      Persisting with Bruno seems odd to me, though I'd keep Rashford.

        think thats become the case recently, before the arsenal game bruno was looking good but not getting points, that seams to have changed now, think rash looks a hold now (be previous look the one to ship), if not this week it will be wc7 most likely (gw8 at the max) so I think think bruno is a better option over the next game week (maybe not the next two but im not sure this team makes it that far)

        Jackson is a bigger worry but I think im stuck with him

        guess the reasons for not wildcarding is the team looks good on papper (once mbeumo comes in) but united and Chelsea just don't look very good, also would like to give my Brighton asests one more game as they like go on wc next week

        think united and Chelsea have good games (the teams they play suit them) but they look so bad (and even they they look good they don't score) would also like one more gam of my Brighton assists, but I think wc could be the play

    Just thinking about Martinelli. Is there anything more cruel and unlucky for owners than what happened? You really couldn't write it. Instead of a goal and possible further returns, it's 1 point only and a sub off. Incredible really

      Yeah not much has been said about this because I think most engaged managers already sold him.

      But for those that still have, that's really unlucky.

        With bigger issues to handle and Jesus coming back I didn't sell him for Mbeumo (-4). I don't basically regret that decision, except if judged by outcome only. This is very annoying, just like having a thing called life and starting gw1 with Gabriel over Saliba.

          Roll the dice is definitely the right expression. Can't see Luton scoring many, and even when they do get one they'll just batten down the hatches.

          Might be worth considering Kabore only from Luton, at least you might get a CS that way

        I don’t actually own Foden, of the Pine Throne, just wanted to pose a hypothetical to get people thinking!

    Initial thoughts Henry and Bruno to Botman and Mbeumo, shouldn't be that tragic after the moves?

    Onana
    Chilwell/Estu/(Botman)
    Rash/Saka/Madd/Sterlo/(Mbeumo)
    Haaland/Alvarez

    Turner/Udogie/Osula/Baldock

    I did 2 FT in GW 3

    Stones --> Dias (over Gusto)
    Joao Pedro --> Alvarez (over Jackson)

    In the 3 GW's since, Gusto outscored Dias by 16 points and Alvarez outscored Jackson by 16 points.

    Just goes to show, FPL is full of fine lines lol.

    On with your day 😉

        absolute killer.

        I never understood the Jackson love I must say. He's like a Gizelle playing football.

      He's not a priority sell for me anymore because he's back in the lineup & plays BOU in GW7.

      A because it frees up money. Although I fancy Son in big games. Tough one so I'd choose based on what you could do with the extra $$

    1)Watkins —> Alvarez

    3) Watkins + Shaw —-> Alvarez + Trippier (-4)

    Which option looks best? Leaning towards 1 and thinking of starting Kabore

    Jackson owner's random song suggestion.. 😀

    So I cross my heart, and I hope to die
    That I'll only stay with you one more night
    And I know, I said it a million times

    Rashford, Saka, B.Fernandes, Maddison, Foden
    Haaland, N.Jackson

    Turner; Saliba, Baldock, Osula.

    2 FT 0.6 ITB

    If Henry is out which seems probable I'll sell him for a Newcastle defender. Best use of the 2nd transfer?

    A) Roll it
    B) N.Jackson -> J.Alvarez

    Not selling Bruno or Foden with their fixtures this week.

    Foden & Jackson to Bruno/Rash & Alvarez worth a hit?

    or maybe Jackson to Hojlund Watkins or Darwin for free

    Is Jackson gonna fall tonight? I bought him at 7m and really don't want to lose money on him, despite the favourable fixtures (Aston Villa(H) Fulham(A) Burnley(A))

    Before todays deadline and given a likely price fall tonight before AVL tomorrow would you

    a) Hold
    b) Buy Hojland (unproven?)
    c) Buy Wilson (minutes?)
    d) Buy Edouard (mixed fixtures?)
    e) Buy Morris (DGW incoming)
    e) Buy someone else
