Suspensions

In the Suspension Tightrope, we look at the players close to a ban, already suspended or returning from the naughty step in Gameweek 32.

We’re at the final hurdle for most of the individuals who are on nine bookings – but one player fell at the penultimate fence in Gameweek 31.

WHEN ARE THE CUT-OFF POINTS FOR SUSPENSIONS?

Gameweek ban 29 suspended ban Gameweek 31

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.

ON NINE YELLOW CARDS

Diego Gomez (£4.9m), Alex Jimenez (£4.5m) and Joelinton (£5.9m) were all booked for the ninth time this season in Gameweek 31.

They join five others on the precipice.

All bar Bernardo Silva (£6.2m) will be in the clear if they avoid being booked in Gameweek 32. Bernardo still has two more matches to go before he’s out of danger.

Anyone with eight bookings is no longer at risk of a two-match suspension. The likes of Marcos Senesi (£5.1m) and Enzo Fernandez (£6.6m) are among that group.

WHICH PLAYERS ARE SERVING SUSPENSIONS IN GAMEWEEK 32?

FPL notes: Dunk injury, Ait-Nouri threat + Delap benched 4

Lewis Dunk (£4.5m) became the first player to reach 10 Premier League bookings in 2025/26. He’ll now miss Brighton and Hove Albion’s next two league matches.

Josh Laurent (£4.8m) and Harry Maguire (£4.4m) will serve one-match suspensions in Gameweek 32, meanwhile. Both were dismissed for the denial of goalscoring opportunities in the Gameweek just gone.

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

RETURNING FROM A BAN IN GAMEWEEK 32

FPL notes: Henderson latest, Gudmundsson ban + why Gibbs-White was subbed off

Gabriel Gudmundsson (£3.8m) returns from a one-match ban in Gameweek 32.

      Spurs in panic mode... They're going down.

      Is Spurs still considered a Jewish club?

    Just finished The Sopranos, which show should I watch next:

    A) Mad Men
    B) The Wire (-4)

    *B is for a hit as I would have to pay for it as it’s not on any of my streaming services.

        Comprehensive

      The Wire is a great watch, but If you're open to suggestions, a less well known series called The Shield is also brilliant.

        • 9 Years
        12 days, 20 hours ago

        I have heard that is very good as well… definitely on my radar after the above two have been watched.

      Just finished season 3 of the wire and really enjoying it. McNulty lives locally to where I am actually

        Nice, I hear season 4 is the best of the Wire so you’ve got that to look forward to

          Better call Saul is pretty good if you’ve not already watched…

            Yeah, Better Call Saul is great! Seen BB & BCS. I actually think it beats Breaking Bad because it seemed harder to script write. I miss the show a lot.

    4. Brosstan

      The Wire is imo the best series ever. Excluding season 5 which is hardly worth watching after the greatness before.

    Ekitike to?

    A) Haaland
    B) Welbeck
    C) Bowen

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      12 days, 20 hours ago

      Depends who has doubles but Haaland is probably more important to cover off but Welbeck has nice fixtures I just think he isn’t nailed to start every game

      Thats my trio on WC

      1. WVA

        And if Pedro doubles

    Whoah, no more Mo...thanks for the FPL memories King!

    Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool at the end of the 2025-26 season, bringing an end to his nine-year stay at the club. Liverpool have confirmed an agreement has been reached with the 33-year-old Egypt international to exit Anfield in the summer despite his existing contract, signed last year, running through to the summer of 2027.
