As the 2018/19 season progresses, so Fantasy Premier League managers must take into account not only rotation but the absence of players in their squads through suspension.
Any player earning five bookings from his side's first 19 Premier League matches will have to serve a one-match ban in the same competition.
Players who accumulate 10 yellow cards in Premier League matches up to and including their sides' 32nd fixture will serve a two-match suspension in the competition.
Here are the players near the threshold for suspensions for yellow cards.
