When do these all reset to zero? Is it a Christmas present for the players concerned or do we have to wait til January?

They don't, it's a sliding threshold:

5 in the first 19 is a 1 game ban
10 in the season is a 2 game ban

5 in the first 19 is a 1 game ban
10 in the season is a 2 game ban

30th December is when the threshold raises to 10 Yellow cards.
4 Yellows  = close to suspension: Digne, Cash and Luiz.
3 Yellows: McGinn
2 Yellows : Martínez, Duran and Zaniolo, Watkins

Players above at most need to negotiate these 6 games.

Man City (H)

I hope that doesn’t mean Donk against Bournemouth.

I hope that doesn’t mean Donk against Bournemouth.

In the Prem
Dendocker has played 7 minutes this season.
Chambers zero minutes
Preference neither.

For Bournemouth:
Douglas Luiz  has started every Prem game.
We could see the duo of John McGinn and Luiz , both stated every Prem game, to keep things solid in the absence of Boubacar Kamara.
Luiz will not be able to go forward as much perhaps without Kamara but Ramsey or Tielemans can be the midfielder that does that role.

I hope that doesn’t mean Donk against Bournemouth.

I imagine McGinn and Luiz will be the central 2 but it would be interesting if Iroegbunam impressed Thursday night.

The suspension rules are a bit harsh for players who are ever presents (or close to that). It favours squads that rotate their players.

Will surely just be Tielemans in and Bailey starting aswell if we revert to four at the back.

Not sure why UE is so allergic to starting Youri in premier league games. Really good from the start v Fulham and set up the winner yesterday and was composed in other parts of the game.

I'd be starting Tielemans as well. Surely a much better idea than Cash wide right and with some actual proven success behind it.

When do cards 'reset' is it at the halfway point?

[Lastfootstamper]

Usually is.

[Somniloquism]

When do cards 'reset' is it at the halfway point?

19 matches in for 10 cards to be a ban, however if a player was on 9 on 19 matches and got one on match 20, they would be banned for the totting up to 10. Personally I think they should have a ruling based on squad registry in the August Window and January one, so if a new player is a dirty bastard, they still get one match ban after 5 matches instead of being 10.

Or just keep it as for every 5 yellows, you get a ban.

[Footy-Vill]

Duran and Zaniolo really need to watch discipline a lot more.
I feel both have let themselves down with bookings this season.

So after 14 matches Premier matches played.
5 Yellows: Kamara
4 Yellows  = : Close to Suspension Digne, Cash and Luiz.
3 Yellows: McGinn, Zaniolo, Duran
2 Yellows : Martínez, Watkins,Konsa.

5 more  games to negotiate and get beyond 19 matches and threshold of 5 yellow suspension.

Man City (H)   
Arsenal (H)   
Brentford (A)   
Sheffield Utd(H)
Man Utd (A)

Thanks for the update, Footy. Fingers crossed that Digne, Cash and Luiz stay out of bother tonight.
