With double and blank gameweeks coming thick and fast in Fantasy Premier League, the number of yellow cards FPL players have could be an important factor when managers decide which transfers to make.
We take a look at who&#8217;s nearing a two-game ban for 10 bookings &#8211; and the rules that FPL managers need to be aware of.

<h2>What are the rules on yellow cards?</h2>
Players who received five yellow cards in their sides&#8217; first 19 games had to serve a one-match ban.
But now we are well past that milestone, it is ten bookings which is the focus.
Picking up 10 yellows by a players&#8217; 32nd game will see them miss two games.
This must be served in the Premier League &#8211; and not in the FA Cup if their teams are still involved.
<h2>Who&#8217;s received 10 yellow cards so far this season?</h2>
Joao Palhinha was shown his 10th yellow in Fulham&#8217;s game against Wolves in FPL Gameweek 25.
He will now miss the Cottagers&#8217; fixtures against Brentford and Arsenal.
<h2>Who&#8217;s near 10 yellow cards and a two-match ban</h2>
Ivan Toney is the main concern for FPL managers, just two cautions away from a suspension.
In more than 27% of teams, his popularity is set to rise further as Brentford have two double gameweeks coming up.

The Bees play twice in both Gameweek 27 and 29, with six games between now and the end of Double Gameweek 29.
With a two-match ban looming, the Brentford frontman could pose a serious headache for FPL managers.
