As we get closer to the next yellow card deadline suspensions and those getting close to their yellow card suspension limit become more important to factor into your fantasy premier league transfer decisions
The next suspension cut off date is the 2nd Sunday in April inclusive ie 13 April. That means you need to get through to GW35 (although the 3 additional games in GW34 are outside the 2nd Sunday) without accumulating 10 bookings otherwise you get a 2 game ban. Domestic cup bookings count to the total but European bookings don’t. You can serve a ban in a domestic cup game. The fantasy premier league website history on a player only includes premier league yellow cards and therefore is incomplete.
I’ve divided it into 5 sections. The “Changes since last week” section to make it a shorter read if you want this. Those just completing bans, those currently suspended, those 1 caution away and those with 8 or more bookings. I’ve tried to also say who they will replace when returning or who will replace them when suspended.
Premier league suspensions yellow cards – Changes since last week
Amorebieta will return from his ban
Walters will return from his ban
Olsson (WBA) will return from his ban
Barry Bardsley and Gerrard have moved to 9 yellow cards and are 1 YC away fro a 2 match ban.
Cieran Clark and Angel Rangel moved to 8 yellow cards and are 2 YCs away from a 2 match suspension.
Those just completed suspension
Amorbieta will return. He may take the place of Riise as he has played RB although he could even play CB if Heitinga moves to RB. Lots of tinkering there.
Walters will return. Interesting to see where he pops up. Could be at the expense of Ireland.
Olsson of WBA will return. He could take Dawsons place.

Ramires Chelsea 3 match ban back for GW34. Lampard or Luiz is the likely replacement.
