Suspensions

In the Suspension Tightrope, we look at the players close to a ban, already suspended or returning from the naughty step in Gameweek 29.

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

WHEN ARE THE CUT-OFF POINTS FOR SUSPENSIONS?

Gameweek ban 29

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 ban 29

Yerson Mosquera (£4.3m) and Lewis Dunk (£4.5m) have joined Andre (£5.2m) on nine cautions for the season. All three players are one booking away from a two-match ban.

Despite what the FPL site says, Mosquera is on nine bookings and not 10. It transpired that he did not get booked in Gameweek 24.

No one is new on the above list of players on eight bookings.

Marcos Senesi (£4.9m) and Moises Caicedo (£5.7m) are the most owned players who are two cautions away from a ban.

WHICH PLAYERS ARE SERVING SUSPENSIONS IN GAMEWEEK 29?

Romero

Maxence Lacroix (£5.1m) and Pedro Neto (£7.0m) will both serve one-match bans in Gameweek 29 after receiving red cards on Sunday. Lacroix was dismissed for the denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity (DOGSO), while Neto got his marching orders for two bookable offences.

Cristian Romero (£5.0m) and Freddie Potts (£4.4m) continue to serve suspensions for serious foul play. They’ll be back in Gameweek 30.

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

RETURNING FROM A BAN IN GAMEWEEK 29

Wesley Fofana (£4.4m) and Ladislav Krejci (£4.5m) return from one-match bans and are now available in Gameweek 29.

        Having all chips available and chasing rank, is selling Haaland that a big gamble at this time of the season ?

          For GW27, I did Haaland to Salah. Do you think it is a good idea to sell Salah to someone cheaper who will likely get more points (Wirtz, Wilson if fit) or hold Salah? I already Wildcarded.

            How do you compare shot volume against xG, how important do you think shot volume is against xG?

            For how many seasons will we miss out on lots and lots of points because FPL CCs warn us off players like Semenyo because they may blank and because FPL CCs say we should prioritise a player who will get 2 appearance points in gameweek 31?

            I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!

            After refusing to do it at the start of the season, will you and the Deputy Editor/Sheriff apologize for advising people to keep hold of the worst FPL asset in the game, namely Mr. Morgan Rogers?

                Please tell me you have seen the movie "Network", Zoph.

                  At least Network was a satire. Unofrtunately, you're very much an earnest reality.

          Morning all, should I do Rice to Semenyo?

          1. z13
              3 days, 18 hours ago

              If you have enough GW31 starters yes. But I think a fit Rice is not a sell, he is consistent, he regularly gets defcon and assists, it adds up

            I've got enough ££ to go from Rice to Bryan Mbeumo.

            This will price me out of Guiu to Thiago which I'll need to do to play 11 in Gw31.

            Is that a silly move to make?

              How much value you have tied in Rice? He's a season keeper for me, keeps returning points, I bought him quite early in the season and won't be selling anytime soon.

                I wanted to get him in most weeks but have only had him a month

                If he's confirmed out I can sell him

                Can always get him back on a wildcard

                I need to remove my blankers anyway for Gw31

                Gw32 can't come soon enough but it's miles away

                  The moves you're proposing aren't bad, though template, if maintaining rank, fine, if chasing there are other options to consider
