Cunha charged with misconduct by FA

Following a post-match scuffle between Wolverhampton Wanderers players and Ipswich Town staff, popular Fantasy Premier League (FPL) forward Matheus Cunha (£7.1m) has been charged by the FA.

A Tuesday morning statement says he’ll be investigated for his role in the altercation and has until Thursday to respond.

It’d been going well for Cunha’s owners, as the Brazilian equalised in the 72nd minute and claimed maximum bonus points. Yet Ipswich’s late winner turned the atmosphere sour and Rayan Ait-Nouri (£4.8m) was sent off after the full-time whistle.

Should Cunha receive a suspension, the many FPL managers with both him and Ait-Nouri will end up having neither for Wolves’ trip to Leicester City. The team is managerless too, following the dismissal of Gary O’Neil.

Much depends on Wolves’ next move, however. Whether they will appeal or accept the charge could affect the games Cunha will potentially miss.

So should owners expect a decision to be made by Sunday’s match? Let’s look for clues from recent examples.

Player	Charge (date)	Response deadline	Decision made
Mohammed Kudus	Reaction to Gameweek 8 red card (Tue 22 Oct)	Thu 24 Oct	Wed 6 Nov
Morgan Gibbs-White	Abusive towards match official (Tue 24 Sep)	Fri 27 Sep	Fri 18 Oct
Jack Stephens	Abusive towards match official (Mon 16 Sep)	Thu 19 Sep	Tue 1 Oct
Rodrigo Bentancur	Racial slur (Thu 12 Sep)	Thu 19 Sep	Mon 18 Nov

      Didn't pass the eye test for several weeks. Other than a long distance shot, doesn't have much to his game.
      Outtara is a better pick if he can nail down a spot in the first 11.

  B is better but the problem with Munoz is that you then have double palace defence - I'm not sure that's a great plan.
  You might then go with Hall over Munoz in B or Robinson to Anderson and get a different keeper - maybe Hall and Raya over Timber and Hendo?

    Thanks for your input. I hear your concerns about the double Palace defence but really want Munoz. The Robinson to Anderson downgrade to free up funds to upgrade Henderson is a good shout.

    Can't see that happening unless they bring in a new CB. Their squad is too thin. VVD, Konate, Gomez and Qansah are the only CBs and Konate is injured.

Fab
Trent Timber Saliba
Salah Palmer Saka Mbeumo
Jackson Cunha Pedro

Subs: Valdi Enzo Mykolenko Burgess

(0.3 in the bank, used FT)

1. Cunha to Wood (-4)
2. Cunha and Jackson to Wood and Isak (-8)
3. Roll (then Cunha to Wood GW18)

Which one?

Jackson to Isak may be unnecessary, especially for -8, but would need more surgery to get Isak after next price rise.

  Wait and play Enzo if Cunha banned. You might want both Jackson and Isak and would need to look at Arsenal defender or Mbeumo to fund that. Or Trent but I guess you just got him?

  Jackson and Isak would be nice, and as you say may be better to jettison Mbeumo or Trent to do that. Like wait and see. Enzo should be good for money off the bench. Thanks.

Completely correct to charge Cunha. However, as a Forest fan and Jackson owner, I find it laughable that Jackson got away with almost exactly the same behaviour.

  A if you can normally bench Burgess, if not, prolly B. But in that case for long term, Robinson + Hall is worth -4. Rogers to Enzo or something like that(?)

I have 2 Options :

Help please

1. Cunha - Isak before price rise and Ait N to a 4.1 for -8
2. Cunha - Woods for -4 is suspended and wait until next week to get in better defender eg Robinson with no hit

Basically it will cost me -8 to get in Isak and I'll need to do it maybe before he plays midweek !

  Yeah I expect Raul will mostly play around 70mins & Muniz will probably get a start v Bournemouth / Chelsea. But Silva just said this about Robinson:
  "I know that he is a player that if we have to play again in two days, three days time, he’s going to be ready again and he’s a great athlete."

  May as well wait until tomorrow when Newcastle and Brentford play a single leg quarter final in the league cup.

Just got rid of Rogers, gulp.

Felt 0.2 in the bank was worth it. And it seems a lot of players in the 5.5 realm are scoring at a better rate.

Iwobi has been a baller for me, even if I did leave points on the bench once.
