Suspensions

Who is suspended or nearing a ban in FPL Gameweek 30?

In the Suspension Tightrope, we look at the players close to a ban, already suspended or returning from the naughty step in Gameweek 30.

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

WHEN ARE THE CUT-OFF POINTS FOR SUSPENSIONS?

Gameweek ban 29 suspended

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

ban Gameweek 30 suspended

Joao Gomes (£5.3m) has joined Yerson Mosquera (£4.3m), Lewis Dunk (£4.5m) and Andre (£5.2m) on nine cautions for the season. All four 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.

Enzo Fernandez (£6.7m) and Joelinton (£5.9m) were booked for the eighth time this season in Gameweek 29.

WHICH PLAYERS ARE SERVING SUSPENSIONS IN GAMEWEEK 30?

Micky van de Ven (£4.4m) was sent off for the denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity (DOGSO) in the final match of Gameweek 29, so he’ll be suspended for Gameweek 30. It’s just a one-match ban for him.

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

RETURNING FROM A BAN IN GAMEWEEK 30

Romero

Tottenham Hotspur do at least get Cristian Romero (£5.0m) back from a four-match suspension.

West Ham United’s Freddie Potts (£4.4m) is also available in Gameweek 30 after the completion of his three-match ban.

Maxence Lacroix (£5.1m) and Pedro Neto (£7.0m) return after serving one-match suspensions in Gameweek 29, meanwhile.

Jacob Ramsey (£5.3m) was dismissed for two bookable offences in Newcastle United’s win over Manchester United but his ban will be served in the FA Cup fifth round.

            Keep Timber and Iwobi for sure this GW
            Maybe keep OReilly for now, due back soon, could yet play in 31.
            Dalot to VVD maybe?

      Your first problem is depending on cup results
      You've got 6 potentially blanking in gw31 (3 Ars ,3 Man City)
      I'd also take out Mbeumo & Iwobi (replace him with Wilson when fit)
      Use the Mbeumo funds to improve the bench

        Yeah I have a free hit to use but ideally could save it. Iwobi- Wilson I could do what would you do with Mbuemo possible Wirtz? and Dalot - VVD as suggested above maybe?

    which attacking double up do you prefer the look of?

    A - Schade and Dango
    B - MGW and Anderson

      I currently prefer A (Dango owner) but B probably/likely delivers more points until the end of this season. Anderson is in my future WC team. MGW has been a perennial FPL troll but he also has the potential to become the midfield equivalent of Joao Pedro.

    Looking to dead end team before wildcarding in GW32, and have ton of cash from selling Haaland last week.

    Make sense to do Rogers to Salah for the next two game weeks?

      If you can get to Salah this week I like it. I've sold Håland and still couldn't get to Salah in one move so went elsewhere but he could be a great differential.

      Haven't seen much Villa lately but... is Rogers due? I was anticipating a bit of an Emery collapse for them with their midfield injuries.

    Robbo flashback. Hull had a tough time in PL 2016/2017 but he kept delivering and got rewarded. TAA was often the more exciting FPL pick, but Robertson was the complete fullback

    A) Rice & Haaland to Salah & Pedro -4
    B) Haaland & Guiu to Ekitike & Pedro -4
    C) Rice to Tavernier

    Prefer A or B as more exciting.
