FPL put Igor Thiago at 0% at 14:46 on Sunday 8 November. He had no flag before, and now he is marked suspended with the note "Suspended until 5 Dec". That is close to four weeks without the Brentford forward, and 8.6% of managers own him.
The odds had priced him on 4 expected points for the GW10 trip to Brighton, with a 93% chance of appearing and a 32% chance of scoring. Normally the gap between FPL's percentage and ours is the story. Here it isn't. A suspension is official and leaves nothing to weigh, so FPL's 0% overrides those numbers until the ban is served. Nothing the market says about his form matters while he can't be picked.
If you own him, sell. Keeping a £7.8m forward on your bench for nearly a month takes a starting spot out of your team. And because the ban has an end date in December, you can buy him back later if Brentford's fixtures turn kind.
The move at the price is Kai Havertz. He costs £7.4m, is 6% owned and has no flag. In GW10 the market had him on 5.7 expected points with a 46% chance of scoring, against Thiago's 4 and 32%. He also saves you £0.4m. Check the weeks ahead in the planner before you confirm, and keep an eye on the injuries page for other flags before the next deadline.
