In the Suspension Tightrope, we look at the players close to a ban, already suspended or returning from the naughty step in Double Gameweek 26.

A reminder: players now reaching five bookings will no longer incur a suspension.

WHEN ARE THE CUT-OFF POINTS FOR SUSPENSIONS?

Gameweek ban 26 yellow cards

The table above is from the Football Association website and details the cut-off points for the various yellow card thresholds.

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.

THE RACE TO (AVOID) 10 YELLOW CARDS

Gameweek 26 ban

“Hang on”, you might be thinking. “Wasn’t Yerson Mosquera (£4.3m) on nine bookings this time last week?” That he was, but it has since transpired that he did not get booked in Gameweek 24 (despite what the FPL total says) and he remains on eight cautions.

Teammates Joao Gomes (£5.3m) and Andre (£5.3m) are also two bookings away from a ban – so there’s at least no risk of them picking up a suspension for yellow card accumulation after the first of their two Double Gameweek 26 fixtures.

Marcos Senesi (£4.8m) is a notable name on seven cautions, sitting in over 15% of Fantasy squads.

WHICH PLAYERS SERVE SUSPENSIONS IN DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 26?

­­­FPL Gameweek 2 differentials: Gordon, Schade + Diarra 3

Cristian Romero (£5.0m) begins a four-match ban in midweek. His dismissal for serious foul play on Saturday was his second red card of the season, so he has to sit out an extra game. We won’t see him till Gameweek 30.

Dominik Szoboszlai (£6.7m) will only miss Gameweek 26 and return thereafter. His controversial red card on Sunday was for the denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity.

Kevin Schade (£7.0m) and Jeanclair Todibo (£4.3m) continue to serve three-match bans after being sent off for violent conduct in Gameweek 24. One of those three matches will be served in the FA Cup fourth round, so they’ll be back in Gameweek 27.

Mykhailo Mudryk (£4.9m) remains indefinitely banned by the FA.

RETURNING FROM A BAN IN DOUBLE GAMEWEEK 26

FPL notes: Dyche's Forest taking shape + praise for £5.3m Anderson

Neco Williams (£4.7m) is back for Nottingham Forest, having served a one-match ban in Gameweek 24.

    Hi, I've got 3 FT and next to no clue what to do!

    DCL has been a disaster (incredibly, he finally scored when I benched him)
    Wilson has gone off the boil a bit but he's on set pieces and dead cheap
    Anderson prob. needs to go? Fulham aren't looking good defensively at all and only have a couple of playable fixtures
    Keeper is a problem but I'm sticking with Roefs for this fixture before getting Kelleher next week
    Ekitike has also been very much hit & miss but has good upcoming fixtures

    A) DCL to Pedro (bench Wilson)
    B) Wilson to Rogers
    C) Wilson to Rayan
    D) Andersen to Munoz
    E) Andersen to Dalot
    F) ... save?

    Roefs
    Gabriel Timber Senesi
    Rice Bruno Enzo Wilson Anderson
    Haaland Ekitike
    (Dubravka DCL Andersen Gudmundsson)

      Here's the annoying thing. You will want Fulham back if your plan is the standard deadend 31 and WC32 which is what this looks like because they play Burnley in GW31.

      So what I'd do is look to bench them and upgrade your support cast.

      1. Punned It
        • 1 Year
        2 months, 6 days ago

        That's a good call, was thinking about moving on Wilson.

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      2 months, 6 days ago

      DCL disaster?

      F for me

        Reads like you rated his post 😀

  2. SpaceCadet

    2 months, 6 days ago

    Any of these moves worth a hit this gw?

    A. Dcl > pedro
    B. Vdv > Munoz
    C. No hit

    Sanchez
    Gabriel timber vdv
    BrunoF semenyo rice Enzo Anderson
    Haaland dcl

    Dubravka Thiago Mukiele diouf

    1. jaffary
      • 2 Years
      2 months, 6 days ago

      For hit, I'd go A

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 months, 6 days ago

      C

    3. Mr Turnip 1
        2 months, 6 days ago

        Definitely no hit

      • Ausman
        • 2 Years
        2 months, 6 days ago

        No hit.

        1. SpaceCadet
          • 12 Years
          2 months, 6 days ago

          Pedro has two decent fixtures. Don’t think the hit will pay off?

    4. Mighty Duck
      • 1 Year
      2 months, 6 days ago

      Dammit, just found out WOL and BRE are the league leaders on the fewest set-piece goals conceded. So Gabriel (C) is certainly less encouraging now.

      1. ViperStripes

        I've currently stuck TC on him.

        With 2 main DGW's expected with BB to use on one of them and FH on the other. This week seems like a good week for TC.

      I have a few more weeks of WC advantage to gain. I've gained maybe 10-15 points this week already and I expect to gain more over the next few weeks. That wildcard 32 advantage is slipping away...

      Lammens
      Gabriel Timber Nunes
      Fernandes Mbeumo Rogers Rice
      Haaland Pedro Mane
      (Darlow Enzo Chalobah Reinildo)

      1. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 months, 6 days ago

        Posted before I finished what I wanted to ask... Roll FT is super likely here. To get me to 3 FTs. If Mbeumo is out, would you transfer him out or just play Enzo?

        1. Mr Johnson
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 months, 6 days ago

          Just play enzo

        2. Punned It
          • 1 Year
          2 months, 6 days ago

          Playing Enzo not too bad. Who'd you get if you shifted Mbuemo?

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            2 months, 6 days ago

            Wirtz or Sarr. I thought I couldn't afford Wirtz but Mbeumo went up last night and now I can haha.

            1. Punned It
              • 1 Year
              2 months, 6 days ago

              Not sure about Wirtz, but Sarr could be quite good if you don't mind the blank in 31.

        3. Mr Turnip 1
            2 months, 6 days ago

            Reckon Enzo should be starting over Rogers anyway tbh… but yes just play Enzo if Mbeumo out, unless he’s out for a long time, at which point you could think about Wirtz

        4. Prinzhorn
          • 5 Years
          2 months, 6 days ago

          Don’t think the Mane transfer is worth it from Kroupi. At least i’ll probably not be doing it. If you already own him he’s fine to own ofc

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            2 months, 6 days ago

            Was that for me? I know I recommended doing that move but it was for someone that had 5 FTs and was gonna burn one. I probably wouldn't do it if I could just roll instead.

            1. Prinzhorn
              • 5 Years
              2 months, 6 days ago

              Yup! I own Kroupi, Evanilson and Hill and thinking about whom to sell later for Brentford attack, probably Evanilson!

        5. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          2 months, 6 days ago

          It looks like you've had 145 points since your wildcard

          I've had 140 points and did fairly average with a wildcard left

          Is 5 points a wildcard advantage these days?

          1. Camzy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            2 months, 6 days ago

            Different teams, different states. I benched two double digit hauls last week for Nunes also. Let's see after 3 more weeks how you stack up.

            I'm talking the people that decided to save WC and have been playing VvD, Andersen, Anderson, Wilson, Thiago type of players for a few weeks. I reckon the point advantage I gain over those will be greater than most WC32s.

            But it's super hard to compare because yeah the choices you make differ once you choose a path.

            1. AC/DC AFC
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years
              2 months, 6 days ago

              I could play my wildcard this week if I wanted Palmer and Pedro straight in.

              This week does look pivotal.

              1. Camzy
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 15 Years
                2 months, 6 days ago

                I wouldn't play it now honestly. You've lost two of Chelsea's plum games. And presumably you've been making transfers since GW24 to try and get the 'template' players for this period like Bruno, triple Arsenal, some Chelsea etc.

          2. Utopsis
            • 6 Years
            2 months, 6 days ago

            I've gotten 141 over same period with no hits.

        6. MJF
            2 months, 6 days ago

            It feels a bit like the person you are really trying to convince is yourself.

            1. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              2 months, 6 days ago

              I don't need to convince anyone anymore. The window is lost if you didn't move. Now all that's left is to see which strategy is better.

            • 7 Years
            2 months, 6 days ago

            How is the "wildcard 32 advantage slipping away" when we don't have confirmed blanks and doubles post-GW31 haha

            1. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 15 Years
              2 months, 6 days ago

              Because if you're 32 points behind a WC24 by GW32, you've 'lost'. I could take a -28 to get a 'wildcard' team and still be ahead in points.

              1. Tonyawesome69
                • 7 Years
                2 months, 6 days ago

                Come on Camzy....

                "it's super hard to compare because yeah the choices you make differ once you choose a path"

              • 15 Years
              2 months, 6 days ago

              The only way the WC32 is better is if WC24 does not yield 30+ points between GW24 and GW32.

                There’s literally no way of knowing yet that that is the break even point. I’m not at all sure why you’ve gone so big recently on proving yourself right. As you yourself say no one can go back and retrospectively WC24 so even if you’re right it would just be gloating. And the only thing we can say for sure now is - it’s entirely unclear what will prove to be the right strategy

            1. Ze_Austin
              • 7 Years

              Darlow Reinildo to Sa Hill

                2 months, 6 days ago

                Zilch in the bank. Can't afford. Nor is it worth it just to get a BB. I'd rather just hit it with Darlow and Reinildo and hope they get something.

                1. Ze_Austin
                  • 7 Years
                  2 months, 6 days ago

                  Fair enough. Didn't know about the bank

              Hello lads

              Which triple up of Arsenal's assets is good?
              1) Gabriel + Rice (c) + Timber
              2) Gabriel + Rice (c) + Saliba
              3) Gabriel + Rice + Gyokeres (c)

              Have 2 FTs, I already got Gabriel and Rice, need one more Arsenal asset
              Thank you

              1. Punned It
                • 1 Year
                2 months, 6 days ago

                I'm currently on 3, but capping Gabriel. Most'll tell you to go for 1 or 2.

                1. jaffary
                  • 2 Years
                  2 months, 6 days ago

                  Regarding option 3, I'm worried about play time for Gyokeres, I'm not sure that Arteta will let him play 2 games as Starting XI

              2. Ha.
                • 10 Years
                2 months, 6 days ago

                1 is safe and pretty template

                3 is punty; could go either way

                1. jaffary
                  • 2 Years
                  2 months, 6 days ago

                  Thnx mate, I should choose either I go safe way or I'll risk high

              3. ViperStripes
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                2 months, 6 days ago

                Depends who you are moving out and what fixtures they've got ahead.

                1. jaffary
                  • 2 Years
                  2 months, 6 days ago

                  In Option 1, if I go for Timber, I'll downgrade Wilson for Dewsbury-Hall and Thiaw for Timber, I have funds.
                  In Option 2, I can do the same as in Option 1
                  In Option 3, if I go for Gyokeres, I'll sell Thiago for Gyokeres and downgrade either Wilson-Dewsbury-Hall or Thiaw for Richards (cry)

              4. Mr Johnson
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                2 months, 6 days ago

                I’m in the same situation as you except I can’t get to Timher without -4 so I’m looking at saliba or gyokeres. Leaning towards gyokeres - seems to be in some good form!

                1. jaffary
                  • 2 Years
                  2 months, 6 days ago

                  Sure, he's in good form, but how about play time for him? Will he start both games or will play from the bench, as he did vs Brentford?

                  1. Ze_Austin
                    • 7 Years
                    2 months, 6 days ago

                    I doubt he starts both

                    1. jaffary
                      • 2 Years
                      2 months, 6 days ago

                      Then, he starts vs Brentford, Cup game will be rested and vs Wolves will start as XI?

                      1. Ze_Austin
                        • 7 Years
                        2 months, 6 days ago

                        He's being rotated, not rested. Jesus started vs Man U and Sunderland

              5. Ze_Austin
                • 7 Years
                2 months, 6 days ago

                Timber

                I don't think I'd take Gyokeres over Pedro, Ekitike or Thiago. So that rules him out. Havertz might even outscore him, somehow

                Timber vs Saliba isn't close, imo

                1. jaffary
                  • 2 Years
                  2 months, 6 days ago

                  Thnx mate. Brentford fixtures are good enough to keep Thiago further?

                  1. Ze_Austin
                    • 7 Years
                    2 months, 6 days ago

                    If you can bench him this GW, yeah

                    Even if you have to play him vs Arsenal, that's better than selling and buying back

              6. Boberella
                • 9 Years
                2 months, 6 days ago

                I’m on 3

                1. jaffary
                  • 2 Years
                  2 months, 6 days ago

                  Thnx mate, can u share ur thoughts on this? Why?

              7. Kingy109
                • 4 Years
                2 months, 6 days ago

                I'd go Timber over Saliba for the upside as so definitely not 2.

                Gyokeres feels like recency bias and the least nailed option. Plus I'd much rather keep Thiago over Thiaw so I'd go 1 as it is in fact my triple up.

                3 is maybe the risk/reward play but that doesn't make it necessarily the best play.

                "Michael Carrick, Steve Holland + co arrived early into Carrington this morning to analyse the Spurs game. All the players had a recovery session with a very positive mood altogether. Bryan Mbeumo seemed fine despite concerns. Full focus on West Ham now."

                      I have Gabriel Saliba and Rice. I just prefer Gabriel and Im not a fan of not knowing the next big DGWs coming up and don't fully trust haaland anymore even if he does have palace

                    Considering, but unlikely to

                    Haaland has a DGW involving Palace. If I have to play my BB in a SGW to accommodate that, so be it

                            Look a bit further back than his last two games. It's not an injury that's left him 12th among FPL forwards while playing for the league leaders

                        Even 1 cs bust would ruin it and since it's 2 away matches, i could see it happening.

                        If it was 2 home matches or even just 1, i would be more inclined to do so.

                      Wouldn't get rid of Ekitike as you'll want him back

                      Would be tempted by the hit

                        No way. Gyokeres unlikely to get more than 120 mins, so not really much better than a SGW player

                      How to get to a 3rd Arsenal? Have Rice & Gabs

                      a) Haaland > Gyokeres
                      b) Evanilson & Enzo > Gyokeres & KDH
                      c) Haaland & Mukiele > Ekitike & Timber/Saliba

                        Not sure I'd want to lose Enzo ahead of the next 2 games. Or Haaland generally.

                        Does the fact Palace likely blank in 31 matter ie will you have the transfers to take your Palace player back out? If it does, then D.

                        If you have the transfers, I like Munoz a lot but it makes more sense to remove a blank spot as at least Alderete is nailed
                        I'd bring in Sarr over JSL I think?

                        1. CYN
                          • 7 Years
                          2 months, 6 days ago

                          I don't have many transfers, only 1FT this week. But I think I should have enough to get 11 out in GW31 unless there's surprise injuries.

                        • 7 Years
                        2 months, 6 days ago

                        B because it removes an injured player. At least Sarr has some form, unlike JSL (new team, so unknown atm)

                        Check out KDH though

                      2 months, 6 days ago

                      Worth moving on Thiago to bring in Mbuemo (2FT) with formation change?

                      1. Ze_Austin
                        • 7 Years
                        2 months, 6 days ago

                        Thiago just scored vs Newcastle. Arsenal is his last tough fixture for a while

                        The timing could backfire

                          Andersen (Bur H)
                          Cash (WHU H) or other Villa, none of them DC so prefer Cash's attacking threat.
                          Probably a tossup between Burn or Thiaw or Hall but its Tyne Wear Derby at home so could be cards. Or Spurs home to Forest is ok, probably not terrible for Forest either.

                            Cheers to both of you. I have Thiaw, Andersen, Gudm - all have tough fix this week + injured Dorgu. So it's likely to be Dorgu--->??? (maybe Hill/Senesi or Cash)...

                        Schrodingers trash...

                        Ekitike will either haul if I bench him for Oreilly, or do f all if play him.

                        What's the decision? Sunderland are solid

                          Just start him. He's a good striker. O'Reilly's ceiling is nowhere near as high.

                            I saw a mention somewhere hes a bit Darwin esque. I wouldn't go that far but I do see the comparison, hes not a natural finisher at all

                            "A good striker" with 2.3 ppg when I've played him. He's garbo

                          Planning FH31?

                          Woltemade is the weakest spot here, so sell him... For Thiago next GW. Bench now and play Wilson and O'Reilly

                              You listed three mids who have better form than Rice, and none is facing a defence like Arsenal's

                              So, skip Rice

                      9. Sir Michael Taker

                        I can just sense a late Thiago goal with him parked firmly on most benches to ruin the start of the double gameweek for many. Long time to stew between that and the Wolves game

                        1. Pompel
                          • 12 Years
                          2 months, 6 days ago

                          Yeah, would be typical. Guess one should just play him to hedge the bets

                        1. King > Sarr (BUR, WOL, mun, tot, LEE, blank)
                        2. Thiaw > Chalobah (LEE, BUR, ars, avl, NEW, eve)

                        Who would do you think scores more the next few gameweeks?

                        Sarr obviously has bigger upside, but 2 means I can do a straight swap from Bowen > Ekitike next GW, but then would be forced to play Alderete (bou) or VDV (ful) in GW28 (and I will start Wilson)

                        I don't expect Chelsea to keep a cleansheet this GW either and probably will only do so in the Burnley game and possibly the Villa game

                        1. Ze_Austin
                          • 7 Years
                          2 months, 6 days ago

                          Thiaw plays. King doesn't. So it's an unfair comparison: sell the non-starters

                          Sarr vs other options is then more of a conversation, like KDH/Anderson in one move, or two moves involving Thiaw to Hill now and King to Rogers/BrunoG/Wirtz next GW

                          1. Ha.
                            • 10 Years
                            2 months, 6 days ago

                            I don't follow the logic as both are currently on the bench

                            That's correct re: Sarr, hence the question

                            1. Ze_Austin

                              2 months, 6 days ago

                              I mean Thiaw starts for his team, while King doesn't. The guy who isn't starting is easier to sell

                        Good day everyone,

                        Here is my attacking team:

                        Bruno F - Semenyo - Wilson - Enzo - Rice
                        Haaland - Jr Kroupi - Thiago

                        With only 1 FT, thinking about this move:

                        Wilson OUT & Wirtz IN

                        Any other good alternative?

                        1. Ha.

                          2 months, 6 days ago

                          Would keep Wilson personally and would be looking for a way to bring in Ekitike in the next couple of weeks

                        2. Kingy109

                          2 months, 6 days ago

                          I'd sell Rice for Wirtz

                          2 months, 6 days ago

                          Thanks! No way l sell Rice with DGW
                          The other alternative would be

                          - sell Hall for Munoz

                        Playing Hall over Richards means I'm eliminated this week.

                        Why is the scout fixture ticker not showing City/Palace blanks in GW31?

                          The only way it could potentially stay in Gameweek 31 is if both sides are eliminated from Europe before the quarter-final stage or if City bow out of the FA Cup before the quarter-finals of that competition.

                        Which one?

                        A) Tarkowski -> Calafiori
                        B) Roefs, Tarkowski -> Sa, Timber/Saliba -4

                        Wilson to sarr for next 2 games?

                        2 months, 6 days ago

                        VVD to Saliba or Calfori for free? Have Gab already and can't afford Timber

                        1. Ze_Austin

                          2 months, 6 days ago

                          As bad as VVD's season has been, he's somehow 10 points ahead of both (fitness and DCs, mostly)... And has good fixtures ahead

                          Calafiori hasn't been back for long enough to know if he's back to being as nailed as Timber, or if his presence even affects Timber

                          I really can't predict how this will pan out

                          If forced, I'd say take the Calafiori risk due to his upside
