A few Premier League players are flirting with a two-match ban as we approach Gameweek 26.
Everything you need to know about those banned and on the cusp of suspension is covered in this article.
WHEN ARE THE CUT-OFF POINTS FOR SUSPENSIONS?
The table above is from the Football Association website and details the cut-off points for the various yellow card thresholds.
Any Premier League player still on four bookings is no longer at risk of a suspension, should they now pick up a fifth.
With five cautions no longer the danger zone, the next target players have to avoid is 10. Anyone racking up that many yellow cards before their club has contested 32 fixtures will get a two-match ban.
And your usual reminder: punishments for yellow card accumulation are competition-specific. Suspensions for dismissals cover all competitive matches.
WHICH PLAYERS ARE SUSPENDED IN GAMEWEEK 26?
Axel Tuanzebe (£3.9m) is suspended for Gameweek 26 after being sent off for two bookable offences in Ipswich Town’s draw with Aston Villa.
Mykhailo Mudryk (£6.2m) remains provisionally banned by the Football Association after returning a positive drugs test.
WHO WILL RETURN FROM A BAN IN GAMEWEEK 26?
Curtis Jones (£5.3m) and Abdoulaye Doucoure (£5.1m) are both free from suspension now after their dismissals in the Merseyside derby.
Jones actually returns sooner than Gameweek 26, in Liverpool’s second Double Gameweek 25 fixture against Aston Villa on Wednesday.
WHO IS CLOSE TO A BAN IN GAMEWEEK 26?
Four players are on the cusp of a ban, all of them central midfielders – but none of them popular FPL picks.
There is a well-owned asset on eight bookings, however.
Morgan Rogers (£5.7m), sitting in 29.3% of squads, is two cautions away from a suspension.
He at least will be definitely available for selection (injury permitting) in Gameweek 26, having avoided a booking on Saturday.
The Tractor Boys’ Liam Delap (£5.6m), owned by 3.5% of managers, also remains on eight yellow cards.
