In the Suspension Tightrope we look at the players who are close to a suspension, have already been suspended or are returning from the naughty step in Gameweek 16.
HOW MANY BOOKINGS RESULT IN A BAN – AND WHEN ARE THE EXCLUSION POINTS?
We have taken the table above from the Football Association website. It describes the limits for the different yellow card thresholds.
What we are concerned about now is the five warning sign. This is an unwanted target that Premier League players will have to avoid that of their team first 19 league matches of the season.
Penalties for collecting yellow cards are competition specific, while dismissal suspensions apply to all competitive matches.
ON FOUR YELLOW CARDS
There are five new additions to the 22-man roster, all defenders. They are: Lewis Dunk (£4.5 million), Ferdi Kadioglu (£4.4 million), Jayden Bogel (£4.4 million), Morato (£4.3 million) and Yerson Mosquera (£4.3 million).
Gianluigi Donnarumma (£5.7 million) and Daniel Munoz (£6.1m) – the only two names in the above list of double-digit properties – remain precariously positioned at four bookings.
ON THREE YELLOW CARDS
There are fifty others who have a little more breathing space after three yellow cards.
They include 11 names, all of which are in more than 10% of FPL squads: Micky van de Ven (£4.7 million), Antoine Semenyo (£7.6 million), Marc Cucurella (£6.2 million), Bryan Mbeumo (£8.4 million), Virgil van Dijk (£6.0 million), Mohammed Jerusalem (£6.5 million), Pedro Porro (£5.3m)Jack Grealish (£6.6 million), Igor Thiago (£6.9 million), Bruno Guimaraes (£6.9 million) and Phil Foden (£8.6 million).
SUSPENDED IN GAMEWEEK 16
Four players were booked this weekend for the fifth time this season.
Riccardo Calafiori (£5.8m) was most notable from an FPL perspective Conor Bradley (£5.0 million), Kyle Walker (£4.4 million) and Kevin Damage (£7.0m) followed suit. They’re all missing Gameweek 16.
Meanwhile, two players received red cards on Saturday. Burnleys Lucas Pires (£3.8m) saw his marching orders for denying a goal-scoring opportunity, while Sunderland’s Luke O’nen (£4.0 million) was dismissed for serious foul play. They will be suspended for one and three competition matches respectively.
As for the continued punishment, Lewis Cook (£4.9 million) and Moses Caicedo (£5.8m) finally complete their three-match suspension in Gameweek 16. They return the following week.
Hannibal Mejbri (£4.8m) is just one game back from a four-match ban for misconduct.
Mychailo Mudryk (£4.9m) remains suspended indefinitely by the FA.
BACK FROM A BAN IN GAMEWEEK 16
Irogbunam team (£4.8 million), Tyler Adams (£5.0 million) and João Gomes (£5.3m) are all back in Gameweek 16. They had previously reached the five-warning mark.
You are also allowed to return Idrissa Gana Gueye (£5.4 million), who has served a three-match ban for violent conduct.
