Suspensions

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 10.

WHEN ARE THE CUT-OFF POINTS FOR SUSPENSIONS?

Gameweek 6 ban in ban Gameweek 9

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

There were three new additions to the list in Gameweek 9.

Ethan Ampadu (£5.3m) and Harry Maguire (£4.7m) joining this group won’t ruffle many Fantasy feathers.

But Pascal Gross (£6.2m), the second most-owned midfielder in the game, certainly will.

All six of the above players have to avoid a booking in their respective sides’ next 10 fixtures to avoid a ban.

ON THREE YELLOW CARDS

There are 25 others on three bookings.

Maxim De Cuyper (£5.4m) was the most significant new addition to the list in Gameweek 9.

Morgan Rogers (£8.1m), Marcus Tavernier (£6.6m) and Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.1m), all of them owned by more than 20% of managers, remain on three cautions.

SUSPENDED IN GAMEWEEK 10

FPL notes: Munoz injury, Mateta’s minutes + £5.2m Wilson

Omar Alderete (£4.8m), Lisandro Martinez (£4.8m) and Jacob Ramsey (£4.8m) will serve one-match bans this weekend after being sent off for two bookable offences in Gameweek 9.

The same punishment awaits Matty Cash (£4.3m) and Matt Crooks (£4.4m) after they reached five bookings for the season on Saturday.

Jean–Philippe Mateta (£6.3m) begins a three-match suspension after his dismissal for serious foul play against Tottenham Hotspur, meanwhile.

Max Dowman (£5.3m) will serve the second game of his own three-match ban.

RETURNING FROM A BAN IN GAMEWEEK 10

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

Yehor Yarmoliuk (£4.7m), Ryan Sessegnon (£4.3m) and Rodrigo Bentancur (£5.4m) all return from three-match bans in Gameweek 10.

    Here's a thought for the masses that transferred in Jackson for the last gameweek
    Both Barry & Evanilson matched his score of 9 points
    Both play promoted teams next
    Although Jackson might have an easier game Mam Utd away .

      Man Utd conceded 21 big chances in the last 6, only Palace is worse (23). Ipswich is also bad at 20.

      Coventry conceded 8, only bettered by Bournemouth and Spurs.

      1. FantasyClub
        1 day, 1 hour ago

        Bow much did they concede last game before the red?

  2. ZeBestee
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Do we keep Pedro? Or sell for Isak?

    1. Brosstan
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      We? I do my own thing

      1. ZeBestee
        1 day, 1 hour ago

        Yeah, metaphorically. Everyone has their own account and password anyway..

        1. Brosstan
          1 day, 1 hour ago

          Isak seems a great pick for this GW. Captain option

    Petrovic
    Konsa Calafiori DeCuyper
    Gross KDH Ode Tav Rogers
    DCL Haaland

    Kinsky Pedro Munoz Thomas

    2 FT; 4.1m

    1) Roll
    2) Pedro to Isak (bench DCL)

    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Still haven't had 1 captain success all season... Haaland this week. 9/9 fails

    Moved into top 1m anyway thanks to Van Hecke and Barry

    FPL & PL are crap. Please I need the UCL fantasy article so I can prepare my UCL team. Cheers!

    KOnsa is killing my rank, Hall to Konsa the move to make this GW?

    Raya
    Calafiori, Muha, De Cuyper,
    Mbeumo, Rogers, Tavernier, Palmer, Gross
    Haaland, Jackson

    Forster, Davis, Hall, De Cuyper, Valle-Egeli

    1.3 in the bank

    1. FantasyClub
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      Idnrather go for Van Hecke or Hill/Silva

    2. Babit1967
      1 day, 15 mins ago

      I brought him in and sent N Williams packing.

  7. DagheMunegu
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Would you play Schade or King or sell Schade to any mid (except GrosS) up to 7.4 ?

    If so which one ? Tav Rayan Gakpo Kudus Manzambi...

    1. FantasyClub
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      Sell. Tav

  8. FantasyClub
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Lads which defender is #1 on your target list?

    I think it has to be Van Hecke.
    Spurs lowest XGC since GW2, even better than Arsenal. Based on data the problem at the back for Spurs is actually Kinsky. His shot stopping ability is 18th.

    1. Brosstan
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      Yea Kinsky is an awful gk. I got van hecke in last GW. Great pick. Close between him and Silva if you own neither

      1. FantasyClub
        1 day, 1 hour ago

        I cant decide between these 4. Choose 2 plzzzzz

        Hall & Munoz ➡️ ?
        A) Van Hecke
        B) Hill/Silva
        C) Gabriel
        D) VVD/Jacquet

    2. PartyTime
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      Yeah, Spurs have been pretty tight at the back. Tight is best, I love the tightness so much. It feels good. Big fan of Hecke while at Brighton so he would most definitely be my pick.

      I'm just surprised the Lilywhites could be so resolute in defence.

      1. FantasyClub
        1 day, 51 mins ago

        Thats the reason ive hesitated to bring Van Hecke in. My mind cant seem to accept or comprehend that Spurs have a good defence. It doesnt make sense.

        1. PartyTime
          23 hours, 45 mins ago

          Same

    Might take my first hit of the season to get rid of some dross.

    MGW + Hall -> Rayan + Calafiori (-4).

    Waiting for europe games before pulling the trigger.

    Alternative is to just go Hall -> Konsa and keep MGW. But Saliba back on the grass means Konsa is on borrowed time

    1. FantasyClub
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      Im ok with a hit but not for Rayan

      1. Brosstan
        21 hours, 29 mins ago

        The hit is for Cala. I can't get him without downgrading MGW

  10. Kroenius
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Who to sell for Thiaw (price drop coming today and I wanna avoid that),2 FT,2,7 ITB,FH left
    Leno (Verbruggen)
    Silva/Van Hecke/Konsa (Guéhi/?)
    Manzambi/Barnes/Palmer/GroB (King)
    Haaland/Isak/Barry
    He doesn't need to have a good fixture this week but really from MD11 onwards cuz of bad Newcastle/Fulham/Everton fixtures

    1. Kroenius
      1 day, 1 hour ago

      Meant who to sell Thiaw for

    2. Okay fine
      1 day, 11 mins ago

      Vuskovic definitely

      1. Kroenius
        23 hours, 40 mins ago

        Just gives me an insane benching headache this week. Guéhi if he starts in UCL is likely to get benched but outside of him, I dunno who to bench

  11. Saka White Rice
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Is there an issue with substitutions? Konsa hasn't come in for Thomas yet and gameweek is over

    1. Gandalf

      10am the morning after the last game.

  12. SIMBOBIANTHEIII
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Mbuemo to Barcola as a 1 week punt before WC11?
    Who else would you bring in as a 1 week punt?
    Can't afford Isak. Or if you think there are no good transfer targets this week would you roll?

    1. theshazly
      23 hours, 40 mins ago

      Why not Gakpo or Wirtz ?

  13. Gandalf

    Really struggling with who to get in for defence this week.
    Hall is heading OUT
    So who out of the top 5 to bring....
    A. Konsa (already have Raya and cala)
    B. Silva
    C. Van hecke
    D. Muha (already have Bogle)
    E. Vuskovic (already have de cup)

    1. FantasyClub
      1 day, 47 mins ago

      Has to be B or C. Since you already have an alternate option/s from the same team of the other

    2. Heavy Cream
      1 day, 46 mins ago

      A and E for me. I like doubling/tripling up where I can on strong teams

    3. RamaJama

    loath to pick barry, he is so bad. it means watching him miss a potential 2 or 3 goal haul and having to be satisfied with the one he got or watching him blank after missing four big chances from point blank range
