<p><em><a href="http://twitter.com/ffcommunity_">Holly Shand</a> looks at whether or not FPL managers should replace Antonio ahead of Gameweek 5.</em></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Michail Antonio</strong> has had a sensational start to the FPL season, but unfortunately picked up a <strong>red card</strong> in Saturday&#8217;s goalless draw with <strong>Southampton</strong>.</p>
<p>This has left FPL managers with a headache on <strong>what to do with the West Ham striker</strong> for FPL Gameweek 5. He was the <strong>most owned player</strong> in the game last gameweek.</p>
<p>The August player of the month is currently the top transferred out player for FPL Gameweek 5, with plenty of incoming transfers for the in-form premium forwards <strong>Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.5m)</strong> and <strong>Romelu Lukaku (£11.5m)</strong>.</p>

<h3>How Long Will Antonio be Suspended for?</h3>
<p>Michail Antonio was sent off against Southampton on Saturday for a second bookable offence in the dying moments of the game.</p>
<p>As a result, <strong>Antonio will be suspended in Gameweek 5</strong> for West Ham&#8217;s home clash against <strong>Manchester United</strong>, with the striker set to <strong>return for Leeds United</strong> on September 25.</p>
<p>He will still be eligible to play in West Ham&#8217;s Europa League group stage game against Dinamo Zagreb on September 16 and in the EFL Cup against Manchester United on September 22.</p>
<h3></h3>
<h3>How will Antonio&#8217;s FPL price be impacted?</h3>
<p>As the most transferred out player, <strong>Antonio&#8217;s price is set to fall from his current £8.0m price tag</strong>. A player&#8217;s price can fall by up to £0.3 million per gameweek, but with the next deadline coming on Friday, this seems unlikely.</p>
<p>For managers who have owned Antonio since Gameweek 1, <strong>a £0.1 million price fall will leave team value unaffected</strong>. He has risen £0.5 million in price already this season, with each £0.2 price increase netting fantasy managers £0.1 in value.</p>

<h3>Should FPL Managers Keep Antonio or Sell him?</h3>
<p><strong>I would personally keep Antonio and use your bench this week</strong>, as it&#8217;s likely you&#8217;ll want him back very soon.</p>
<p>Antonio has been suspended for perhaps the <strong>Hammer&#8217;s toughest fixture</strong> in their next six games. On his return, Antonio faces <strong>Leeds United, Brentford, Everton, Spurs</strong> and <strong>Aston Villa, </strong>which is a good run of games for a player in his form.</p>
<p>Transferring out a great value player who could well be a season keeper and then bringing him back in again at the expense of eight points doesn&#8217;t seem worth it.</p>
