Our Suspension Tightrope article takes a look at the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players who are nearing a two-match ban for the accumulation of 10 yellow cards.
There are currently no players suspended in the English top flight, with Raul Jimenez (£7.5m) serving the second match of a two-game ban on Friday – but the Mexican and Wolverhampton Wanderers now blank in Gameweek 33 anyway.
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF A PLAYER GETS 10 YELLOW CARDS?
Any Fantasy asset who collects 10 cautions in the Premier League before their team has completed 32 fixtures will serve a two-match ban in the same competition.
Punishments for yellow card accumulation are competition-specific, whereas suspensions for dismissals cover all competitive matches.
PLAYERS ON 8/9 YELLOW CARDS
Gameweek 32 was a big weekend on the suspension front as many FPL assets are now free of the threat of a two-match ban.
In fact, there are now only five players who are at risk of suspension.
Two of them are on Burnley’s books. Semi-popular bench fodder option Josh Brownhill (£4.3m) will need to get through the Clarets’ next two matches without a booking to avoid being slapped with a two-game ban, while James Tarkowski (£4.9m) only needs to dodge two cautions in as many matches to avoid the same fate.
Tyrone Mings (£5.0m), Scott McTominay (£5.4m) and Yves Bissouma (£4.4m) are also on the precipice, although McTominay is currently injured anyway.
The likes of Conor Gallagher (£6.1m) and Matthew Cash (£5.3m), plus everyone bar Tarkowski on eight yellow cards, can no longer be banned for two matches as a result of yellow card accumulation.
WHEN ARE THE CUT-OFF POINTS FOR SUSPENSIONS?
For Bissouma, Tarkowski, Brownhill and McTominay, the cut-off point is Gameweek 33.
Mings will be in the clear after Gameweek 34:
| Team | Matches played | 32nd league fixture |
|---|---|---|
| AVL | 31 | GW34 |
| BHA | 31 | GW33 (first fixture of the double) |
| MUN | 31 | GW33 (first fixture of the double) |
| BUR | 30 | GW33 (second fixture of the double) |
