UCL Suspensions Matchday 5: One Booking From a Ban

4 UCL players are one booking from a suspension going into Matchday 5: Santiago Mourino, Hakan Calhanoglu, Ivan Lepinjica and more.

This is our yellow-card watchlist: every selectable UCL player one or two bookings from his next ban in the league, by our count of his cards this season, with his fixture and predicted points for Matchday 5 and how many managers own him. A player one booking away can be banned by a single yellow, so a manager who owns him should have the replacement ready. Players already serving a ban are on the team news page.

Frequently asked questions

Which UCL players are one yellow card from a suspension?

4 UCL players are one booking from a suspension going into Matchday 5: Santiago Mourino, Hakan Calhanoglu, Ivan Lepinjica and more.

Should I sell a player who is one booking from a ban?

Not on that alone. A ban only follows if he is booked. Weigh his predicted points now against the chance he misses the next fixture, and keep a playing replacement on the bench.

Where do I see players who are already suspended?

On the UCL team news page, which lists every unavailable and suspended player.
