When choosing some profiles for Fantasy Football, you also need to consider the number of penalties a player will bring to the team. Some are obvious while others are more hidden.
Let's look at the players who will probably bring you penalties regardless of their reputation as "bad" or not. Goalkeepers are excluded.
Forwards
Some forwards fall into provocations, put a lot of intensity during matches or often press, but at the wrong times.
Let's look at those forwards who have brought at least 6 penalties due to yellow cards.
- Lucca: 10 yellows
- Zaccagni: 10 yellows
- Frigan (Parma): 9 yellows
- Castellanos: 8 yellows - 1 red
- Santiago Castro: 8 yellows
- Sebastiano Esposito: 7 yellows
- Moise Kean: 6 yellows
- Roberto Piccoli: 6 yellows
- Nikola Krstovic: 6 yellows
Midfielders
We raise the bar for midfielders, naturally prone to contrasts and therefore to penalties. Let's look at the midfielders who received at least 8 yellows last season:
- Niccolò Rovella: 13 yellows
- Marius Marin (Pisa): 9 yellows - 1 red
- Samuele Ricci: 9 yellows - 1 red
- Manuel Locatelli: 9 yellows
- Karlstrom: 9 yellows
- Guendouzi: 8 yellows
- Touré (Pisa): 8 yellows
Defenders
For defenders we keep the same number of cards as the midfielders: they must have taken at least 8 penalties last season.
- Francesco Coppola (Pisa): 10 yellows - 3 reds
- Edoardo Goldaniga: 10 yellows - 1 red (double warning)
- Saùl Coco: 10 warnings
- Isak Hien: 10 warnings
- Tommaso Barbieri (Cremonese): 9 warnings
- Johan Vasquez: 9 warnings
- Lucumì: 9 warnings
- Daniele Ghilardi: 7 warnings - 1 red
- Antonio Caracciolo (Pisa): 8 warnings
- Matteo Bianchetti (Cremonese): 8 warnings
- Mario Gila: 8 warnings
- Gianluca Mancini. 8 warnings
- Enrico Delprato: 8 warnings
- Dodo: 8 warnings
- Adrian Rus (Pisa): 8 warnings
More than one red
A separate note for players who received more than one expulsion last season.
- Francesco Coppola (Pisa): 3 reds
- Alessio Romagnoli: 2 reds
- Belahyane: 2 reds
- Charles Pickel: 2 reds
- Tommaso Pobega: 2 reds
The only player to appear in two rankings is Francesco Coppola, a defender from Pisa who last year played for Vis Pesaro in Serie C. He is currently recovering from an ankle fracture that required surgery.
