View Poll Suspensions Who is close to a ban or suspended in FPL Gameweek 8? October 19 53 comments 19 October 2026 53 comments 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 8.

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.

Igor Thiago (£7.8m) has joined three others – Vitaly Janelt (£5.0m), Oli McBurnie (£5.5m) and Matt Crooks (£4.4m) – who were already on four bookings ahead of Gameweek 7.

Thiago has been booked four matches on the spin, and has 12 more Gameweeks to avoid another.

Janelt, of course, was sent off at the weekend, but those two bookable offences don’t affect his yellow card count above.

There are 11 others on three bookings. These players have to avoid two cautions in their next dozen top-flight fixtures in order to swerve a ban.

Five players joined these ranks in Gameweek 7.

The top-scoring FPL midfielder, the 45% owned Pascal Gross (£6.1m), is among this group.

So too is Yoane Wissa (£6.1m), who Fantasy managers are losing faith with; he’s the most-sold forward of the Gameweek so far.

Bournemouth centre-half Antonio Silva (£5.0m), Everton midfielder Harrison Armstrong (£5.0m) and Fulham no. 10 Joshua King (£5.6m) round off the new entires.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£6.0m), the third-most-owned FPL forward, remains on three cautions.

Two of Brentford’s central midfielders received their marching orders in Gameweek 7.

The aforementioned Janelt will only serve a one-match ban but Yehor Yarmoliuk (£4.8m) faces three games on the sidelines, as his red card was for violent conduct. One of the fixtures he’ll miss is the EFL Cup fourth round tie against Sunderland, at least.

Ryan Sessegnon (£4.3m) also starts a three-match ban; he was sent off for serious foul play in the win over Hull City. Again, one of those three fixtures will be an EFL Cup game next week.

Sunderland’s Kevin Danso (£5.0m) was sent off for the denial of a clear goalscoring opportunity in the loss to Bournemouth. The Austrian sits out Gameweek 8 before returning thereafter.

Finally, Rodrigo Bentancur (£5.4m) serves game two of a three-match ban.

Ryan Gravenberch (£5.8m) and Axel Disasi (£4.4m) are back from suspension this weekend.

1 hour, 58 mins agoWho knows?Maybe if he’d buy him a drink first?

1 hour, 52 mins agoBuy him a raw steak, couple of glasses of rioja, see where the evening goes.

1 hour, 56 mins agoWere hanging on for 90mins

28 mins agoBHA all the way. They will hammer LIV

2 hours, 29 mins agoCoventry defensive assets would be great if they had an actual GK instead of a string bean with a perm in goal

1 hour, 51 mins agoEnzo and Groß or Mbeumo and Manzambi?!

1 hour, 51 mins agoWhat’s the likely Last Man Standing score this GW?

1 hour, 49 mins agoSafety score currently 57, which is also my current score. Fingernails hanging on and by.

1 hour, 39 mins agoYou're safe my friend.

1 hour, 43 mins ago4m Thomas only 4 points behind £8m Gabriel and 2 ahead of £6.5m VVD so far. Power of the defcon!

30 mins agoPlanning to ditch Gvardiol for him. Got his 8 pts on Gw2 BB though, but sold on WC gw3 because I didn't trust Coventry not being whipping boys. Best 5th def imo.

21 mins agoDepending on the formation of course.

1 hour, 13 mins agoShade to Schade hoping no schade or shading away…

1 hour, 12 mins agoG2G, I woyld like to start Groß though.

44 mins agoI'd start Gross over one of your non scoring Fulham attackers

1 hour, 26 mins agoWhat has happened to the captain's poll?

41 mins agoIs your hotel room still intact?

31 mins agoI threw the complimentary tray of coffee sachets across the room when Kinksy tapped the ball into his own net.

24 mins agoI celebrated Kinsky being atrocious with a glass of red red wine… Verbruggen has done well for me. But his next two aren't good.

22 mins agoI always nick the espresso pods from mine lodgings each day when travelling! Replenish, nick, replenish, nick, cha cha cha!

1 hour, 11 mins agoStart De Cuyper or Thomas?

59 mins agoBrighton are better than Liverpool.

53 mins agoGood question. This is one of those coin toss category ones imo. CS unlikely for both, but Thomas has better chance. He should also get defcon. Who is against de Cuyper from Liv? Can he stop him?

56 mins agoAny changes to this WC?RayaCalafiori, Konsa, De CuyperPalmer, Rogers, Mbeumo, Tavernier, GroßHaaland, Joao PedroDubravka, Muharemovic, Thomas, Kusi-Asare0.7 ITB

11 mins agoProlly not. Depends on the amount of free transfers. I might consider Palmer to Saka and selling konsa to save transfers.

48 mins agoPlace these defenders in order for GW8. First choice will start alongside Calafiori and Konsa.A – De Cuyper (liv)B – Hall (cry)C – Egan (BRE)

17 mins agoToo tough to call – DeCuyper because OOPHall against poor Cry defenceEgan (DefCon) home to suspended Bre

8 mins agoI place Hall first simply because of how bad CRY are especially down their right flank i.e Halls side

43 mins agoBest replacement for Semenyo? Already have Mbeumo, Gross, MGW, RogersCheers

39 mins agoManzambi or Tavernier though the fixtures aren't fantastic this week
