Grealish avoids one-game ban as yellow card limit rises to ten for FPL players

All 20 Premier League clubs have now fulfilled at least 19 top-flight fixtures, meaning that those players sitting nervously on four yellow cards have dodged the threat of a one-match ban.

Among them were Jack Grealish (£7.8m), whose Aston Villa side passed the halfway point of their season in the weekend win over Southampton.

Any Fantasy asset who collected five cautions in the English top flight before their team had completed 19 fixtures will have had to serve a one-match ban in the same competition.

Beyond the 19-game cut-off point, the limit moves up from five to ten bookings.

The threshold for ten yellow cards is after 32 league matches, which will be mid-April at the earliest.

Players collecting ten bookings before that point will serve a two-game ban.

Hector Bellerin (£5.1m) is leading the charge on that front, having racked up seven cautions already.

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

          • 4 Years

          He might have 10 playing with Mitchell starting

          1. tibollom
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            you wouldnt change my current team for a hit?

          2. Tonyawesome69
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 1 month ago

            Actually you are right. Sort the defence out. I agree with the cancelo hit

              alright thanks

    Pick one..

    A. Matinez & Holding
    B. Leno & Dallas
    C. Leno & Target

    Ta : )

    1. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B but not much in it

  4. Adzy
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Kane replacement? (Already have Bamford and Antonio)

    B) just play soucek.

    1. Boly Would
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B or Wilson

    3. CoracAld2831
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wilson.

    4. Tonyawesome69
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B and hope Kane is available for 23 against WBA

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        If he's not, that's a spot wasted.

    5. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

    6. CoracAld2831
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      But works as well. Preferably both.

    7. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      It could really go either way, but DCL vs. Leeds is (hopefully) favourable and he may well have a DGW24.

      If you want, you can bench DCL vs MUN and play Soucek vs. FUL too.

      That was my thinking anyway, but my thinking is flawed since I sold Bamford for him!

      Soucek could randomly haul again, hard to predict his points.

    8. Adzy
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers leaning towards soucek and keep kane, hope he's back soon could back fire not going DCL

    Any suggestions?

    1. rubberdignerapids

      Yep

  6. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is kane -> wilson/watkins/Antonio for a hit worth it over playing Soucek?

    1. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No just play soucek

    2. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No just play Soucek, thats why you have a bench 🙂

  7. pingissimus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Ok

    Locking and loading this lot. GL all

    Mendy
    Cancelo Dias Digne (Targett)
    Mo C Bruno Grealish Gundo Barnes
    Antonio DCL (Bamford)

    Feeling slightly sick at recent transfer policy - huge swing from a couple of really misguided hits . Playing Digne as Delph possibly in and Pickford out!

    1. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Good luck

    2. thegaffer82
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Bamford on the bench could hurt after he seems to have hit a bit of form (I sold him for a hit last week 🙁 ). But, to be fair I'd only really consider Antonio or DCL to be benched instead and all could score. So just go with your gut.

      Team looks fine.

      1. pingissimus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Pretty much expecting to play both Targett and Bamford tbh - the other XI to play for City this week!

      No News

  9. Maarrrr17

    Play Digne for attacking threat or Holding for probable clean sheet?????

    1. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Play me for attacking threat

      1. Maarrrr17

        pls do something good

        1. rubberdignerapids

          I’ll try my best

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tricky

      I'm sticking with Digne. How is your City backline looking? If you have Dias for instance I suspect you're playing bench this week

      1. Maarrrr17
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I have Dias and Cancello, think he will be rested?

        1. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Likewise then

          Dias has now played 90 minutes for 20/1 on the spin, I think that's unique for a Pep outfielder - even Laporte when he was uber nailed was rested.

  10. Siva Mohan
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A. play Soucek
    B. get Grealish for FT

    Thanks!

    1. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      A

  11. michaelington

    3 years, 1 month ago

    Play Son or Gundo?

    1. Dele
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’ve currently got Son first on the bench, feels so wrong

  12. Nespinha
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best GKs short term besides Martinez

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Whoever is in nets for Palace? They have nice fixtures at least

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mendy

      3 cs in last 4 and great looking fixtures and Chelsea with Mendy have near 50% cs record this season

  13. Tmel
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Stones & Chilwell likely to return?

    1. rubberdignerapids
      • 4 Years

      Stones yes, no idea with chilwell

  14. The Tinkerman

    G2G? Strong squad this week, tough benching call:

    Martinez
    Justin, Cancelo, Stones
    Salah (C), Bruno, Sterling, Son, Soucek
    Bamford, Watkins

    McC; Coufal, Brewster, Ayling

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    And one midfielder/forward to start:

      Ordinarily I'd say possibly yes but Mane situation says he goes again not least as he's had a recent rest. Klopp will want him fired up.

    Don't know if anyone's posted this on here yet but this guy has created a bot that posts on twitter when a footballer transfers in/out one of their teammates from their FPL team. Absolute genius.
