Evanilson’s red card rescinded – will he get the FPL points back?

Evanilson (£5.8m) is free to play in Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) after his red card against Manchester United was rescinded.

The Brazilian striker was sent off for serious foul play in the Cherries’ clash with the Red Devils.

It proved to be a costly dismissal, as United – 1-0 down at the time Evanilson received his marching orders – went on to grab a stoppage-time equaliser.

Now, though, the Premier League have overturned that controversial decision, which only came about in the first place because of VAR intervention.

WILL EVANILSON GET HIS POINTS BACK?

Now the big question for Evanilson’s owners: will he get his points back?

In a word, no.

FPL put the Brazilian’s owners out of their misery on Wednesday afternoon, confirming that he’ll remain on two points despite the rescission.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR EVANILSON?

The next few fixtures don’t make for great initial reading for Bournemouth but they might be facing Arsenal at the best time possible, in between the Gunners’ UEFA Champions League double-header against Paris-Saint Germain.

The Cherries could yet have a ‘double’ in Gameweek 36 (and blank in Gameweek 37), should the postponed clash with Manchester City be brought forward. We should get confirmation of that soon.

On the final day is where the real appeal lies: the visit of a relegated Leicester City side who have kept only one clean sheet all season.

    Many possibilities with the team going into the last few rounds and a bench boost to play. 2FT. What would you prioritize?

    Current team:
    Raya
    Munoz-Murillo-Gvardiol
    Salah-Murphy-Rogers-Saka-Sarr
    Isak-Marmoush
    (Areola-Mateta-Kerkez-O'Shea)

    I'm thinking about doing: Saka->Mbeumo + Sarr->Bowen this week, also want to get rid of Kerkez and O'Shea. However I also want to save transfers eyeing up a potential double and as good a BB as possible. What to do?
    I'm two points of the top of my mini-league, so don't want to take too many chances, however a few.

      Chasing Mini league by 30 points and 100k overall by 56/57 points

      1 ft and 0.4 in bank

      Current team
      Sels
      Konsa Saliba Gvardiol
      Saka Merino Rogers salah
      Isak marmoush mmateta

      Hendo sarr konate digne

      I was planning to do

      Saka and Merino to Bowen and Boomo for -4 as both of these players will be differential but every content creator are saying the same transfers so I am not so sure how much differential they will be

      What should i do:
      1. Saka, Merino -> Bowen, Boomo (-4)
      2. Saka to Bowen and start Sarr instead of Merino
      3. Saka to Boomo and start Sarr instead of Merino
      4. Merino to Murphy or Barnes or mitoma or Elanga

      Thanks

        Make the move you think gets the most points.

        I think selling both Arsenal makes sense.

          This advice makes sense if you have confidence in your ability to predict points. 60 points to 100k is a big gap and I think you need to differentiate as quickly as possible. So just go for the lowest owned players who at least have some prospect of points even if they aren't appearing high up in the 'models'.

          I think rid of 1 Arsenal for Jack Clarke is the play here.

        Minutes are not enough. You need to get points.

        So many times people will pick like the backup striker for a team against Southampton at home and then wonder why the pick did nothing and is now back on the bench.

        Even if Foden plays, he's shown 0 output. Just avoid until he is showing a combination of minutes and points potential.

      Currently on:

      Raya
      Gvardiol - Saliba - Munoz
      Salah - Rogers - Saka - Murphy
      Mateta - Isak - Marmoush

      Martinez - Sarr - AWB - Konsa

      2FT, 1.8ITB

      I'm 92 points clear in my main mini league, and my nearest rival has basically the same team except for Dias instead of Konsa, and Eze instead of Sarr. So, I'm just looking to maintain my lead as best I can rather than go for any wild punts.

      Current thinking:

      1) Roll FTs
      2) Saka > Mbeumo (seemingly the consensus move, although Saka could still come in handy, especially if Arsenal don't make it to the CL final)
      3) Sarr and Mateta > Mbuemo and Cunha/Wood (I currently have exact money for this, so may need to move soon ahead of any price rises)
      4) Sarr and Martinez > Mbuemo and Areola (not mad keen on using FTs on GKs, but West Ham have a couple of OK fixtures and getting rid of Martinez frees up a third Villa spot in case I want Watkins for the final couple of GWs)

      What do you think?

      So Evanilson red card is over turned, but FPL are not giving points back, I could understand if the game week was closed, but it’s still open !! Basically he now wasn’t sent off so give us the points ! ?

        Its the rules unfortunately. It is what it is.

        Too rules many would be Bundesliga.
        Too few would be Ligue 1.
        If players were forced to take a nap at half time, it would be La Liga.

        Good ol' EPL.

      I had a good week last week when I played FH, so a bad week this week was pretty much inevitable. But its been really bad. 31 point red, lol.

      The glimmer of hope however is that I still have Mbeumo and Wissa. There is no way they can recoup that 31, which will probably be 33 tomorrow, but I wonder if they will try and save me. I basically need a total collapse of NFO, it is possible, they did it before.

        Since my WC31 and FH34 Ive lost 60 points to my rival in ML and red after red. Only 2pts in it now. Only consolation is that he has 11/15 of my jobbers in his squad..

          Yea that's tough.

          This week has just been brutal. Pretty much every player people got in on FH returned, I cant believe it. I still think last week was the better week to FH, regardless of the outcome.

          Hopefully my team is set up well for the rest of the season. People seem to be bringing in my players, so I guess so.

            Its a single player each week. Bruno made 20 on me. Cunha killed me too on FH because I listened to some who said he might not play which was plain stupid on my part.

              I sound like the player you are playing haha, I had Bruno, Barnes, Cucu for their hauls 😀

              I would have gone Strand this week on FH because he was a differential, might have got both. I hate Cunha. I never seem to be able to get Cunha in and then he hauls. I didn't own him once this season, he was wrecking me earlier.

          That's tough. I've gone the other way in my mini league. Going from 120pts behind to leading by 60+ and well set with FTs for remaking weeks.

          My wk 34 FH was an absolute blinder..Capt Cunha, clean sheets or scoring def, and more.

          Wk 33 WC had 3 of Db (ars, cry, man city) and 2 Aston villa. Swap the villa for flekken and mbeumo as planned, 35 and 36 is looking sweet.
