<p>FPL Gameweek 27 saw Casemiro sent off for the second time this season, as Manchester United drew 0-0 with Southampton.</p>
<p>Casemiro&#8217;s absence could change how we think about United’s other FPL assets, and potentially have a say in the top 4 race too.</p>

<h2>What happened to Casemiro?</h2>
<p>Erik ten Hag will have been looking for a response after last weekend&#8217;s 7-0 hammering at Anfield, but his side were dealt a major blow before half-time.</p>
<p>Casemiro went in studs-up on Southampton’s Carlos Alcaraz, and the former Real Madrid man was initially shown a yellow card.</p>
<p>After a VAR check however, Anthony Taylor overturned his original decision and showed a red card to the Brazilian.</p>
<p>Casemiro looked visibly distraught, and was consoled by his teammates, apologising to Alcaraz before exiting the pitch.</p>

<h2>How many FPL games will Casemiro miss?</h2>
<p>Casemiro&#8217;s second red card of the season means that he will serve a four-match suspension rather than three.</p>
<p>Three of these four are in the Premier League, where he will miss Newcastle (A) and Brentford (H) in Double Gameweek 29, followed by Everton (H) in Gameweek 30.</p>
<p>Amid this, he will miss United&#8217;s FA Cup quarter-final against Fulham.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>How will it affect FPL?</h2>
<p>The absence of <strong>Casemiro (£5.1m)</strong> will come as a huge blow for United’s FPL assets, as they have looked like a different side with him in midfield.</p>
<p>The former Real Madrid man has been a key figure at both ends of the pitch for Eric Ten Hag, as the numbers show.</p>
<p>With Casemiro in the team, United have won <strong>76%</strong> of their games, scoring an average of 1.9 goals and conceding an average of 0.9</p>
<p>Without him, they have won just <strong>43%</strong> of their games, scoring an average of 1.7 goals, and conceding almost twice as many with 1.7.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The potential drop-off in his absence could affect our decision to move for United assets such as <strong>Luke Shaw (£5.4m)</strong>, <strong>Bruno Fernandes (£9.8m)</strong> and <strong>David De Gea (£5.0m)</strong> in Double Gameweek 29.</p>
<p>United face Newcastle and Brentford, so while they do play twice, the fixtures could arguably be kinder.</p>
<p>Clearly, <strong>Marcus Rashford (£7.4m)</strong> with two games is a man we all want in our FPL teams regardless of fixtures, but the Casemiro news could affect his ceiling as a captaincy option in Gameweek 29 too.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Based on the drop-off in average performance when Casemiro is out of the team, it feels like we should take his absence into account when making any decisions involving United players.</p>
<p>There is every chance the likes of Shaw and Fernandes will be in our lineups come the Gameweek 29 deadline, but the impact the Brazilian has made at both ends of the pitch is something worth bearing in mind for FPL managers.</p>
