Who is suspended or close to a ban in Premier League and FPL?

During the run-in for the 2023/24 season, managers in Fantasy Premier League must take into account not only rotation, but the absence of players in their squads through suspension.

Any player earning 10 bookings from his side's first 32 Premier League matches will serve a two-match ban in the same competition. Yellow cards are not carried over to the EFL Cup or FA Cup.

A number of teams played their 32nd match in Gameweek 32. This means that players from Aston Villa, Brentford, Burnley, Fulham, Luton, Nottingham Forest and West Ham are no longer at risk of picking up a two-match-ban for reaching 10 yellow cards.

Players can still receive a three-match-ban if they pick up 15 yellow cards before the end of the season. 

Players suspended for Gameweek 33

Douglas Luiz (£5.6m) picked up his 10th yellow card of the season in Gameweek 32, and is now suspended for Aston Villa's next two matches.

Burnley defender Dara O'Shea (£4.4m) will also miss Gameweek 33 after he was sent off for a professional foul against Everton. 

Meanwhile, there are no players returning from suspension in Gameweek 33. 

Players close to suspension

In Gameweek 32, Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson (£6.8m) and Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes (£5.8m) were joined on nine yellow cards by Sheffield United's Anel Ahmedhodzic (£4.3m).

Ineligible players

There are a number of on-loan players who will be ineligible to face their parent clubs before the end of the season. 

Issa Kabore (£4.0m) is ineligable to play in Gameweek 33. The defender is on loan at Luton Town, who face his parent club Man City in Gameweek 33.
