Statistics Card watch - play nice or you're suspended son

[Cappy]

A new season, but very similar deal for the EFL Championship. Source here for the below, though one wording change is very welcome, as it is now much clearer and hopefully I won't be asked every week. I like to think my feedback to them prompted this

"Last day of the relevant league playing season prior to the Play-Off matches"

Updated following Game 1 - Bristol City (H)

Gus looked like he really fancied a yellow, with his clumsy tackling, but nobody on either team received one tonight

Updated following Game 4 - Middlesbrough (A)

Andre gets his first of the season, Sydie gets his second, and Gus is already out to a flying start, gathering his 3rd yellow after only 4 games

The coaches were coaching constantly all game from the side-line, like I have never seen before - a sure sign that the players absolutely don't 'get it' yet. In doing so, Selles found himself halfway toward the corner flag and getting a telling off from the 4th official, then the ref went over to him to do the same. Did anyone see whether he got booked?


Players:


* Some stat sites have Campbell getting a yellow v Millwall, and some don't. The live commentator said he did, but I think it was mis-seen, and I'm not adding it. Hopefully it never matters

Yes. The ref waved a card at Selles from halfway across the pitch

I had a 33-1 bet that Peck and Robinson would get booked. According to footmob, the Beeb, and opta, he did get booked, but it doesn't show up on the footmob events page. Wonder what happened there?

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

How many yellows did Hamer get last season? 3 is a worrying stat so far.

 

[Cappy]

I've added a yellow for Selles (Boro) and Campbell (Millwall) based on the replies. Cheers fellas.

How many yellows did Hamer get last season?

In the league, he received 13 yellows last season, no reds

Last league season Hamer received a yellow on average every 257 minutes. This season it is one every 120 minutes which, if he played the same number of minutes this season as last (3366), would lead to 28 yellows

Hamer only needs 2 yellows in 5 games for a ban haha

Hamer only needs 2 yellows in 5 games for a ban haha

Mate, it's worse than that. I actually dragged a formula too far down the spreadsheet, making the 'games remaining in ban period' bit incorrect.

It's actually 2 more yellows in 15 games
