Fantasy Football – Ivan Toney Could Face a Ban, and It Could Start Soon
Tuesday evening brought an unexpected twist to FPL investors eyeing Ivan Toney (£7.6m) as their star asset of Gameweek 26 – the striker has reportedly broken betting regulations!
Nevertheless, Leicester’s exit from the FA Cup means that Brentford is likely to avoid a ‘blank’ in Gameweek 28 and speculation is continuing over whether any sanctions will be imposed on Toney ahead of then.
The offenses were alleged to have occurred between February 2017 and January 2021.
In a four-year span, starting in 2017 and ending in 2021, an individual was accused of multiple offenses.
Has Toney Admitted To Anything Yet?
Since November, the Daily Mail has stayed up-to-date on this developing story. On Tuesday, reporter Matt Hughes presented us with promising new information; specifically, that football coach Tony Toney had reportedly admitted to many of his accusations by the Football Association but is still challenging certain others.

How Long Will The Ban Last?
Toney’s disciplinary fate appears to be sealed, with reporters suggesting a lengthy suspension is imminent. The length could stretch for as long as six months in what would surely come off as a significant blow for the player and his team.
When Will Toney’s Ban Start?
With a potential ban looming, Brentford needs to consider how best this could be structured so that it can minimize any negative effects on the team. One strategy would involve having some of the sanction periods coincide with their off-season (May 29 – August 11). This way, they have time to prepare for the next season without compromising performance in current games.
Toney’s future in Fantasy Premier League hangs precariously with a lengthy ban expected to kick in before the start of the 2022/23 season. Rumors abound as managers wait eagerly for confirmation on when exactly they need to adjust their squads – this million-dollar mystery remains unresolved.
The Daily Mail and Sky Sports have raised the suggestion that Brentford’s star striker, Ivan Toney could face an FA disciplinary hearing in April. This would mean he will be able to attend all matches, but there is a possibility that his Double Gameweek 29 fixtures scheduled for the 1st and 5th of April may not take place if this timeline holds. Keep your eyes peeled to see how this intriguing situation develops
Similar Precedents
Kieran Trippier and Joey Barton have both experienced the crushing consequences of straying beyond the FA’s strict betting regulations. Recent years have seen these two players face hefty punishments for their wagers, proving that no one is exempt from obeying Football Association rules.
Despite being more severely penalized, it appears that Barton’s timeline of offenses is similar to Toney’s. Both occurred between December and April – a period that has become synonymous with corruption in the world sports betting industry.
What’s Thomas Frank Saying?
As Monday night looms and the heated matchup between Brentford and Fulham draws near, head coach Thomas Frank will face press questions on Friday afternoon. However, due to it being an ongoing investigation, he’s unlikely to divulge any extra insights into the Toney case topic.
Who Will Replace Toney
If Brentford’s star striker, Toney, faces suspension, his team-mate Yoane Wissa (£5.3m) could be a big beneficiary of extra game time. Those familiar with Thomas Frank’s tactics will know that he typically favors a 3-5-2 formation when facing tough opponents and switches to 4-3-3 against easier rivals.
