Introducing the New Yellow Card Suspension Rule
Players, take note: the yellow card rules have changed.
Here’s the deal - before, three yellow cards in ten matches meant an automatic one-game suspension. Now? It’s five yellows in total for that same punishment. But don’t get too comfortable. Those yellows don’t reset after ten matches anymore, meaning suspensions could sneak up later in the season.
So yeah, it’s a bit more lenient - but also sneakier. Discipline’s about to matter more than ever.
