FA rules on suspensions incl. 5/10/15 yellow cards

Post by snout »

Standard Charges and Suspensions for Red Cards:
  • Spitting at an Opponent = 6 Matches
  • Serious Foul Play -or- Violent Conduct = 3 Matches
  • Use of offensive, or insulting or abusive language = 2 Matches
  • Denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity by deliberately handling the ball, or by a free kick or penalty kick = 1 Match
  • Receiving a Second Caution in a Match = 1 Match
All suspensions start immediately including those for red cards and accumulation of yellow cards.

All red card suspensions are increased by 1 further game if it is a second red within the same season, or by two extra games if it is a third red etc.
If a red card is given for two yellow cards in one game, these do not count for accumulation of yellows purposes.
If a yellow card precedes a straight red card (i.e. not two yellows), then the yelllow does count for accumulation.

5 Yellow Cards - If a Player receives 5 cautions between the first match of the season and Matchweek 19 (inclusive) they will be suspended for a period of 1 match.

10 Yellow Cards - If a Player receives 10 cautions between the first day of the season and Matchweek 32 (inclusive) they will be suspended for a period of 2 matches.

15 Yellow Cards - If a Player receives 15 cautions playing between the first and last day of the season they will be suspended for a period of 3 matches.


Eligible Matches = Premiership, FA Cup, Carling Cup (basically all first team competitive, non-European games). This applies to both when they get the cards and when they are banned.
