If it wasn’t for his penchant for yellow, Blackburn’s utility man Jason Lowe would be a mere speck on the Fantasy landscape. Given that he’s been sitting on top of our Suspension Tightrope for the last few weeks, though, it’s only fair Lowe gets his day in the sun:

In the course of his 21 league appearances, and 1763 minutes, Lowe has managed to concede just 19 fouls (1 foul every 92.8 minutes). As highlighted a couple of weeks ago, that’s not a great deal compared to the 61 fouls chalked up against Grant Holt in only 1429 minutes (1 foul every 23.4 minutes).

Thanks to another caution in Saturday’s win over QPR, however, the Blackburn utility man has now accumulated 9 league cards to add to his league cup indiscretion, and those 10 bookings will land him a stern talking to and a two-match ban from the FA. Lowe will therefore be missing from Rovers’ Gameweek 26 and 27 fixtures, away at Manchester City and home to Aston Villa.

Elsewhere this gameweek, there was also an eighth yellow card for Chelsea’s Portuguese midfielder Raul Meireles, who now joins his club captain John Terry at the top of our tightrope widget. Scott Parker of Tottenham, Terry’s potential replacement in the England skipper role, earned his seventh caution of the season, as did Aston Villa defender Richard Dunne.

Parker’s latest booking is his 85th in the Premier League and now ranks him fifth on the all-time list, level with George Boateng (the Ghanain born Dutchman, once of Aston Villa and Middlesborough, now plying his trade at Nottingham Forest). He still trails Lee Bowyer (recently at Birmingham and now at Championship club, Ipswich) who amassed 101 Premier League cautions, and Kevin Davies, whose booking on Saturday brought up his ton.

Finally a nod to those returning from bans in time for the FA Cup matches this coming weekend. We should see Mario Balotelli (MCI), Yohan Cabaye (NEW) and Karl Henry (WOL) back in action, while those below -and, of course, any player seeing red in next week’s games- will sit out the next league fixture.

GAMEWEEK 26 BANS

  • Gaël Givet (BLA) – 1 Red for serious foul play (second of 3 matches)
  • Jason Lowe (BLA) – 10 Yellows (first of 2 matches)
  • Djibril Cissé (QPR) – 1 Red for serious foul play (second of 3 matches)
  • Robert Huth (STO) – 1 Red for serious foul play (last of 3 matches)

        Naylor -> Tate? Worth a risk? or go with the safe option and get Caulker in? and then maybe Simpson -> Evans? (Raylor there for NUFC coverage)

      Depends how much you will use your 5th mid. Consider the fixtures you will actually play him in. I have gone for Surman and have already chosen which fixtures he will play. Its only about 2 in the next 6GW's

    I'm WCing in GW 28, and my successful Baines punt is coming to an end this week to be replaced by Richards or Kompany.

    For the next two, I reckon I'll stick Richards in, as he could be on for significant attacking returns against BLA + BOL, and has just been rested so shouldn't be again ... And I'll just switch Komps in for the WC, for the assured starts til the end of the season.

    Am I talking sense here? 🙂

    So.. Am I correct in stating that Dempsey will not play up front as of now?

    If so, is it still worth having him? Missed a sitter couple of days ago..

      I guess it depends on what Jol wants to do away from home, perhaps he might not want the two strikers. I thought Dempsey still looked very threatening from midfield, but perhaps transferring him in is not as high a priority as it recently was, particularly with Valencia's fixtures easing up in two weeks.

      I would say the jury's out, but could be a good punt. He is a box to box midfielder, is capable of being the man who assists or runs onto a nice Silva through ball. It depends though on the formation and personnel. If De Jong plays and sits deep then Yaya can be immense. He started the season poorly in fantasy terms but before he went to ACON really picked it up and got some pretty good scores. I had him for the tail end of last season and he was excellent for me.

      I'd say give him a game , see how he fits in, see what the formation is and then give him a go.

      Barry did well yesterday....it could be argued because De Jong was on the pitch...imagine what a player with pace and built like a giant cedar tree can do in that role.

      Yes, I like him more for his price than I like Silva for his price. As Jonty says below though, he's a risk for playing in a holding position which reduces his potential massively.

      On my watchlist for sure.

          If he plays with De Jong or another like Barry who has been told to sit in front of the defenders then he is certainly better than Modric (ie the assister of the assister).

          But its a big if. His price is excellent at the moment though....trouble is there are so many good mid priced mids around.

          I'm leaving for toure along for Blackburn but am very tempted to get him in for the next home game.

    Not that I really took one this week I'd like to offer commiserations to those who transferred in the following this week:

    - Oxlade-Chamberlain
    - Sigurdsson
    - Ashley Cole
    - Zamora

    These were all viable punts in my opinion and well....bad luck guys!

      I don't see any punt where the player is away from home as "unlucky" at all... if you're going to take a punt, at least do it on an easy home game. I would say Sig was the only unlucky one there. Away at Sunderland and Everton are not good fixtures to take punts. Zamora semi-unlucky I guess, Blackburn always likely to concede.
