mimland Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 As I'm not very much into real life football I've been wondering about how common it is to get red cards. Sofar in my game I have recieved 7 red cards in 22 games in the league. It seems like a lot to me since I play with easy to normal tackling and usually don't target opponent players with close marking or a lot closing down. Sofar I think all reds are from a second yellow, one would think that they would be more careful when booked once but apparently not. I have been looking into my players and their istructions to try and figure out a way to lower the number of red cards, any tips appreciated, but as said for all I know the numbers could be spot on.

Generation-Next Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Depends if you're Newcastle. Cheick Tiote is guaranteed to get a minimum of 300 Red cards a season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phd_angel Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Since you set your tackling on Default or Normal, you can do any of these: - fine players (say, 1 week salary for a yellow, 2 week salary for a red...) - declare it was disgraceful at press conferences - train offensive players to stand on their feet when they tackle (not sure if FM13 still has this feature) - substitute yellow-carded players during the match, before they get the second yellow...

phd_angel Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 about the frequency of red cards, you can check it in your league's "player analysis" which is announced every now and then during the game. There you can see what players get most yellows and reds. In real soccer, I'd guess that one red every 20 matches (played by any given club) would be normal.

WeeScotsPaul Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Since you set your tackling on Default or Normal, you can do any of these:- fine players (say, 1 week salary for a yellow, 2 week salary for a red...) - declare it was disgraceful at press conferences - train offensive players to stand on their feet when they tackle (not sure if FM13 still has this feature) - substitute yellow-carded players during the match, before they get the second yellow... A one week salary fine for a yellow card?? Whoa! Glad I'm not a player in your team! I tend to issue a warning for the first red card, then one week fine for the second etc... However, if the match report states that there was any controversy about the decision I won't due to the significant evidence of my player's innocence.

MasterOfSuspense Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Averaging 2 yellows per game but they do seem to come in the same game a lot with 4 or 5 bookings - normally 1 or 2 reds per season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mimland Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 Will keep looking into my tactics to see if I can get my players under some control a red card every 3 games seems a tad excessive when I read your answers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott MUFC Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I think the problem is "ungentlemanly conduct" seems players get booked for thier bad tackle of persistant fouling, then do this, even when not actually a diver IRL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterOfSuspense Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Just finished first season and had 5 reds - 3 for the same bloke (banned for total of 9 games after reaching 5 and 10 yellows too) tweaked ball winning midfielders from hard to normal tackling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
