After a break from the Premier League for FA Cup action last weekend, it’s back to the proper stuff as we head towards the closing stages of the season.

With plenty of teams still in the hunt for the title, European qualification, and desperate to avoid relegation, there’s lots at stake, and therefore we should see an increase in player fouls.

Each selection is aided by bet365's Sub On Play On, meaning your bet is still alive even if a player is subbed off.

Saturday's Premier League Player Fouls Accumulator Tips
5 Selections @ 5.11

Aston Villa v Leeds

Premier League

15:00

Ollie Watkins Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.53

Having come under pressure from some Villa fans this season, Ollie Watkins has appeared highly motivated in recent weeks, committing 12 fouls across his last seven Premier League starts. The England international has been getting stuck in consistently at Villa Park this season, averaging 0.97 offences per 90, and so is clearly clumsy with his challenges.

Watkins landed this bet in the reverse fixture, where he became frustrated with the physical attention from Joe Rodon and Pascal Struijk, and with Leeds now playing three centre-backs, he’ll be tightly marked throughout once more. Across the visitors' last eight games, opposition strikers have combined for ten fouls between them, and our Villan looks in the mood to add to that tally.

Brentford v Brighton

Premier League

15:00

Jan Paul van Hecke Over 0.5 Fouls Won @ 1.33

Jan Paul van Hecke will be looking forward to another physical battle with Igor Thiago of Brentford on Saturday afternoon. In the reverse fixture, Thiago fouled the Dutchman twice, and given that the Seagulls centre back has drawn 1.35 fouls per 90 across all competitions this season, he may well be caught late by the Brentford brute again. Van Hecke has been felled at least once in 11 of his last 14 starts and so is consistently forcing fouls.

The aforementioned Thiago has a key role to play in this selection as he’s committed the third most fouls of any Premier League player this season at 1.88 per 90. In combination with Kevin Schade, he’s instructed to press aggressively from the front, and the result is that central defenders against the Bees have been fouled ten times across their last four matches in all competitions.

West Ham v Bournemouth

Premier League

17:30

Tomas Soucek Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.28

Tomas Soucek is enjoying an extended spell in Nuno Espirito Santo’s starting line-up and has been working hard defensively in an attempt to maintain his spot. The Czech midfielder has never been shy of a strong tackle and has been whistled 12 times across his last six league starts, with at least one in five of those. He also made a foul in the reverse fixture despite playing just 28 minutes.

Bournemouth’s midfield trio of Alex Scott, Ryan Christie, and January signing Alex Toth are well adept at drawing late contact, being fouled 4.99 times per 90 between them across all competitions this season. Soucek should therefore be kept busy off the ball, and with the Cherries midfielders needing no encouragement to go down, he’ll do well to avoid a single infringement.

West Ham v Bournemouth

Premier League

17:30

Aaron Wan-Bissaka Over 0.5 Fouls Won @ 1.44

With only Wolves committing more fouls than Bournemouth’s 12.35 per game, it also makes sense to back a Hammer to be hauled down. We can target the Cherries' left side of the pitch, as this is where Amine Adli will reside, having committed 2.61 fouls per 90 this season. Opposition right-backs have been fouled 12 times in Bournemouth’s last 12 games, and so I think we know where to focus our attention.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka looks likely to start on the right side of the West Ham defence, having done so in each of their last five matches. The wing-back is renowned for his attacking qualities, leading to him being fouled five times in his last four games, and with such an aggressive opponent in Adli, he’s nicely priced to win a free kick again.

Man City v Newcastle

Premier League

20:00

Antoine Semenyo Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.36

Speaking of foul heavy wingers, Antoine Semenyo is the second most prolific offender in the top division with an average of 1.88 offences per 90. Since signing for Man City, he’s shown no sign of curbing his anger, committing 1.63 fouls per game and cashing this leg of our acca in all eight of his appearances for his new club.

Two of those games came against Newcastle, across which Semenyo made three fouls, and having also committed a foul against the Magpies for Bournemouth before his move, it’s clearly a match-up that fires our man up. Semenyo is most likely to be up against Lewis Hall, who has drawn 2.02 fouls per 90 in domestic action this season, and so it looks to be the perfect match-up to see our acca home.

Fouls Acca FAQs

What is a Fouls accumulator?

An accumulator (acca) is a single bet that links together multiple Fouls selections. All selections must win for the bet to payout, whether it be a player to foul or a player to be fouled.

An accumulator, often called an ‘acca’, combines four or more separate bets into one wager. These bets can include match results (win, draw, or loss), both teams to score, over/under goals, or specific player props from different matches.

The Fouls market is often equipped with a bookmaker's substitute feature, meaning certain bookmakers will allow your bet to stay alive even if your selected player is subbed off.

To win an accumulator, every selection must be correct; if even one bet fails, the entire wager is lost. Because of this higher risk, accumulators offer much larger potential payouts than single bets. The odds of each selection are multiplied together, creating a combined total that can lead to substantial returns.

Who selects Fouls accumulator tips?

Our Fouls accumulator tips are put together by our resident player props expert, Oli Nixon.

How many legs should I include in my acca?

Like other accas, Fouls accumulators are no different. A betslip must include a minimum of four selections from different matches. Three selections make up a treble, while two are known as a double.

For those new to accas, it’s wise to start modestly. You don’t need a 10-leg accumulator to enjoy betting or see returns. Focus on strong, well-researched picks, be mindful of the odds, and avoid chasing unlikely outcomes just for a potential jackpot. Successful accumulators are built on balance, not just big wins.

What is the best bookmaker for a Fouls accumulator?

As previously mentioned, many of the top-tier bookmakers offer a substitute feature. Paddy Power offer ‘Super Sub’, bet365 offer ‘Sub On’, and Betfair offer ‘Sub On Play On’.

This means that even if a player is substituted, the bet is still alive with the player subbed on. This can apply to not just 1+ fouls markets, but 2+, and 3+ as well.

What are the best bookmaker promotions for Fouls accumulators?

As noted earlier, several leading bookmakers provide a substitute feature to keep your bet in play. For example, Paddy Power offers ‘Super Sub’, bet365 has ‘Sub On’, and Betfair features ‘Sub On Play On’.

With these tools, your bet remains valid even if your selected player is substituted; your stake simply transfers to the incoming sub. This applies not just to 1+ fouls markets, but also extends to 2+ and 3+ fouls, giving you broader coverage and a better shot at a return.

When should I cash out an accumulator?

There’s no definitive right or wrong moment to cash out an accumulator. If the offer on the table looks appealing and you're happy with the return, it can be a smart move to take it. Locking in a profit is often the wisest choice.

At the end of the day, betting should always be approached with responsibility and a clear head. Sensible decisions are key to enjoying it safely.

Can I build Fouls accas using same-game markets?

Fouls accumulators are often built using same-game markets. Most bookmakers offer a wide variety of players in both the foul and to be fouled markets to add to your Fouls acca. Users can also mix up the selections across a number of games. These are usually fun to track during Champions League gameweeks when there are sometimes 20+ games all kicking off at the same time.

How often do your accas win?

The chances of an accumulator winning largely depend on the combined odds. For instance, if an acca is priced at 10.0, it implies a win roughly once in every ten tries.

Our goal is always to finish each week in profit across all the accumulators we feature on the site.

Can I get notified when the next acca goes live?

We publish weekly content focused on the latest Fouls markets and accumulators, and the best way to stay updated is by subscribing to Andy’s Bet Club Weekly Newsletter.

Delivered by email at least once a week, it highlights the best betting offers and free fouls-related tips available on the site.

What happens if one leg loses – is there acca insurance?

In most cases, all your selections need to win for the accumulator to pay out. However, some bookmakers occasionally run promotions that offer a safety net, often in the form of a cash refund if your acca narrowly misses.

Do I need a specific bookmaker to use your acca?

You can use any bookmaker, but the likes of Paddy Power, bet365, and Betfair offer substitute features to keep your bet alive.

For instance, Paddy Power’s ‘Super Sub’, bet365’s ‘Sub On’, and Betfair’s ‘Sub On Play On’ are all features designed to keep your bet alive, even if your chosen player is subbed off. In these cases, the bet shifts to the player coming on.

This doesn’t just apply to 1+ foul markets, it also covers 2+ and 3+ fouls, offering wider protection and increasing your chances of a successful outcome.
