Cards Stats by Teams — Rankings 2025/26
See which teams collect the most bookings — yellow + red weighted, every threshold from 3.5 cards and up.
How card stats are weighted and tracked
Cards are weighted: Yellow = 1 point, Red = 2 points. We show average card points per match plus the percentage of matches exceeding 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 card thresholds. Card data is full-match only — half-time breakdowns aren't reliably available across leagues. High card counts reflect playing style, referee strictness, and league disciplinary culture.
About this ranking
This card stats team ranking weights yellows (1pt) and reds (2pt) to surface teams with the highest disciplinary records — cards per match plus Over 3.5/4.5/5.5 booking-rate thresholds. High card counts reflect aggressive playing style, regular exposure to strict referees, or rivalry-heavy fixtures. Card data is full-match only — half-time breakdowns aren't reliably available across all leagues. Sort by season or recent form, and pair with our corners team ranking — physical, possession-disrupting matches often correlate with both high cards and high corners.
Frequently asked questions
How are football card statistics calculated and weighted?
Cards are weighted as: Yellow = 1 point, Red = 2 points. We show average card points per match plus the percentage of matches exceeding 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 card thresholds — a compact view of a team's full disciplinary record across the season.
Why are half-time filters disabled for card stats?
Like corners, card data is typically recorded at full-match level only across most leagues. Half-time card breakdowns aren't reliably available, so we display full-match disciplinary statistics exclusively to maintain comparable data across leagues.
How do referee tendencies show up in the card data?
Teams with abnormally high cards-per-match relative to their league average often reflect either an aggressive playing style or a regular pool of strict referees. Comparing home vs away card rates can also surface referee bias — domestic referees are typically more lenient with home sides than away.
Who are the most booked teams in 2025/26 by league?
Sort the team rankings by card points per match (Yellow = 1, Red = 2) to find the most booked teams in 2025/26 — usually a mix of physical sides and teams playing in strict-referee leagues like Serie A or La Liga. Filter by league to focus on a specific competition, and use the Over 3.5/4.5/5.5 booking-rate columns for threshold-specific rankings. Home/away splits surface referee-bias patterns.
