In the Suspension Tightrope, we keep an eye on the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players who are racking up the yellow cards and nearing a one-match ban.

The cut-off dates and thresholds for suspensions are also discussed in this piece.

Finally, we round up the individuals already suspended and who will be returning from a ban in Gameweek 9.

WHEN ARE THE CUT-OFF POINTS FOR SUSPENSIONS?

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

The one we’re concerned about right now is the five-caution mark. This is an unwanted target that Premier League players will have to avoid for their team’s first 19 league matches of the season.

Punishments for yellow card accumulation are competition-specific, whereas suspensions for dismissals cover all competitive matches.

ON FOUR YELLOW CARDS

Matty Cash (£4.3m) was the only new addition to the list from Gameweek 8.

All five of the above players have to avoid a booking in their respective sides’ next 11 fixtures to avoid a ban.

ON THREE YELLOW CARDS

There are 20 others on three bookings.

Among the 10 players joining the list in the Gameweek just gone is Morgan Rogers (£8.0m), who sits in one in two Fantasy squads.

Jayden Bogle (£4.7m), fourth in the defenders’ points table, did likewise.

The two top-scoring FPL midfielders, Pascal Gross (£6.2m) and Marcus Tavernier (£6.3m), are also among this group.

So too is Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.1m), the third-most-owned FPL forward.

SUSPENDED IN GAMEWEEK 9

FPL Gameweek 34: Saturday’s goals, assists, bonus + DefCon

Yehor Yarmoliuk (£4.8m), Ryan Sessegnon (£4.3m) and Rodrigo Bentancur (£5.4m) will all complete three-match bans in Gameweek 9.

SUSPENDED IN MIDWEEK… BUT AVAILABLE IN GAMEWEEK 9!

FPL notes: Pedro injury latest + why Palmer isn't flagged

Cole Palmer (£9.8m) was the only Premier League player sent off in Gameweek 8.

He was dismissed for two bookable offences in Chelsea’s loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

However, his one-match ban will be served in Wednesday’s EFL Cup clash with Liverpool. So, he’s available for action in Gameweek 9.

RETURNING FROM A BAN IN GAMEWEEK 9

Kevin Danso (£5.0m) and Vitaly Janelt (£5.0m) return from one-match bans in Gameweek 9.

    Thinking about going Rudoni and Silva over Gross and Davis. Would mean I'd play 433 most GWs. Silly idea?

    honestly defence is winning atm in fpl with points, and will always be strong but man attacks in the league this year are so bad. like over half the league is currently on track to score quite abit less than 50 goals this season (which i guess is sorta the benchmark you aim for for mid/lower league teams). and its the 9s, such a lack of good strikers in the prem. like, from the teams struggling for goals:

    leeds, dcl - decent
    villa, jackson - decent
    hull, mcburnie - average
    everton, barry - average
    spurs, solanke - average
    fulham, garcia - average
    united, sesko - decent
    palace, mateta - decent
    forest, delap - average
    coventry, dont really know who is first choice but they're no better than average
    sunderland, brobbey - average/decent inbetween abit

    alot of onus on the attacking mids/wingers to get 25-30 goals nowadays between them for these sorta teams at the very least. where did all the good strikers go. still time though tbf for these attacks to turn things around

      Yeah I'm looking at getting five playable defenders (no fodder) and two cheap midfielders on my WC

    I just realized I have no league called last man standing this year. Is there a code or is that not a thing anymore?
