Football Acca Tips: 31/1 three-fold in PL Cards Acca GW 22

In this weekend's Premier League Cards Acca, I'm backing an Argentine, a Brazilian and a Spaniard to go into the book.

Below are my Football Acca Tips for Gameweek 22, with two selections for Saturday's games, and one for Sunday's.

Cristian Romero (TOT) vs West Ham United (15:00 GMT) @ 21/10

Tottenham Hotspur defender Cristian Romero has received 38 yellow cards and three reds in 117 Premier League appearances, including nine yellows and one red in 17 games this season.

The 27-year-old has avoided a booking in his last three matches, but on Saturday, the Argentina international will be tasked with containing West Ham United striker Taty Castellanos, who averaged 2.3 fouls won per 90 minutes in the first half of the 2025/26 Serie A campaign with Lazio before swapping Italy for England earlier this month.

Football Odds

Romero has picked up three yellows in seven career appearances against West Ham, and a fourth in eight looks like a real possibility at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend.

Martin Zubimendi (ARS) vs Nottingham Forest (Sat 17:30 GMT) @ 3/1

Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi is averaging 1.1 fouls per 90 in this season's Premier League and 2.5 fouls per 90 in the 2025/26 Uefa Champions League.

The 26-year-old has been booked four times in the Premier League and three times in the Champions League.

Premier League Odds

On Saturday, the Spaniard will come up against Nottingham Forest counterpart Elliot Anderson, who is averaging 2.3 fouls won per 90 in the Premier League and 4.5 fouls won per 90 in the Uefa Europa League. Only Everton's Jack Grealish (52) has been fouled more times in this season's Premier League than the Englishman (48).

Away from home, specifically at the City Ground, Zubimendi may need to make a tactical foul or two, with Anderson and teammates like Morgan Gibbs-White proficient in counterattacking, so the Gunners star is a prime candidate in the Player to Receive a Card market, in my opinion.

Joao Gomes (WOL) vs Newcastle United (Sun 14:00 GMT) @ 13/8

Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, who is averaging 2.3 fouls won per 90 in the Premier League and 1.8 fouls won per 90 in the Champions League, is the English top flight's third-most fouled player this season, having been upended 45 times.

Manchester City's Bernardo Silva was booked in his side's 2-0 Carabao Cup victory at Newcastle on Tuesday for fouling the Brazilian, and in the Magpies' previous game, last Saturday's FA Cup tie at home to AFC Bournemouth, Cherries midfielders Lewis Cook and Marcus Tavernier both saw yellow for taking Bruno Guimaraes down, despite him not coming on until the 79th minute.

Today's Football Fixtures

At Molineux on Sunday, the 28-year-old will come into close contact with Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes, who has committed a league-high 41 fouls in the Premier League this season, averaging 2.3 per 90.

Joao Gomes, who has been shown 11 yellows in each of the last two Premier League seasons, also receiving a red in 2023/24, has been booked six times in the league this term, and he was cautioned in September's 1-0 win for Newcastle over the Old Gold for fouling his countryman, Bruno Guimaraes, in the 68th minute, amassing five fouls in total at St James' Park that day.
