The end of season run-in means that the games come thick and fast and also that the pressure starts to mount up, both of which contribute to higher motivation and more fatigue for players.

Therefore, it’s a great time to get stuck back into a player fouls acca.

Saturday's Premier League Player Fouls Accumulator Tips
5 Selections @ 6.25

Arsenal v Bournemouth

Champions League

12:30

Martin Zubimendi Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.44

After struggling to settle into the physicality of the Premier League early on, Martin Zubimendi has calmed his approach to tackling in recent weeks but is still averaging 0.93 fouls per 90. The Spaniard is tenacious in his pressing and had a difficult time in the reverse fixture which saw him booked. Four fouls in his last five league starts also demonstrates that the pressure of the title race is drawing some cynical challenges from our man. 

Key to this selection is that Zubimendi will be opposing a Bournemouth trio who are all excellent at forcing infringements. Alex Scott, Ryan Christie and Marcus Tavernier combine for 5.29 fouls drawn per 90 between them and so every tackle the Gunners midfielder puts in will need to be perfectly timed. The Cherries’ last five matches have seen opposition central midfielders whistled 17 times, further emphasising the size of the task facing Zubimendi on Saturday lunchtime.

Arsenal v Bournemouth

Premier League

12:30

Viktor Gyokeres Over 0.5 Fouls Drawn @ 1.44

Viktor Gyokeres has started to show some goalscoring form in recent weeks and understandably, opposition defenders have been marking him more tightly as a result. The Swede has forced 1.14 infringements per 90 across the season and has drawn at least one foul in six of his last seven league starts at the Emirates Stadium. 

Tasked with containing Arsenal’s central striker will be Bournemouth’s Marcos Senesi and James Hill, both of whom are happy to get stuck in, averaging 1.58 fouls per 90 between them. Gyokeres was fouled in the reverse fixture and will look to drive at the Cherries central defensive pair as often as possible, hopefully forcing late contact at least once.

Everton v Brentford

Premier League

15:00

James Tarkowski Over 0.5 Fouls Drawn @ 1.36

Given how often he contests aerial duels, it should come as no surprise that James Tarkowski is regularly felled for Everton. The Toffees defender has been brought down a huge 22 times across his last 13 league starts, landing this bet in all but one of those games, including the reverse fixture which saw him fouled on three occasions.

In Igor Thiago, Tarkowski has the perfect match-up for winning free kicks as the Brazilian has committed more offences than any other Premier League player this season, averaging two fouls per game. Brentford’s number nine loves a physical battle and will no doubt be looking forward to locking horns with Tarkowski once more after their previous meeting.

Burnly v Brighton

Premier League

15:00

Kaoru Mitoma Over 0.5 Fouls Drawn @ 1.62

Having started and scored for Japan at Wembley in the international break, Kaoru Mitoma should be fit to return to the starting line-up for Brighton on Saturday. The tricky winger has been a constant thorn in the side of opposition full backs since the turn of the year, forcing ten fouls in his last seven league appearances and landing this bet in each of those despite the most recent involving just 14 minutes of action against Liverpool. 

Defending Mitoma will be the ageing Kyle Walker who has lost a yard of his trademark pace, resulting in more late challenges this season. Burnley’s experienced right back has committed 0.95 fouls per game whilst Lyle Foster also averages 1.45 offences per 90 and so there should be plenty of opportunities for Mitoma to go down.

Liverpool v Fulham

Premier League

17:30

Ibahima Konate Over 0.5 Fouls Drawn @ 1.44

Ibrahima Konate has been on the end of his fair share of rough treatment in recent weeks, drawing nine fouls across his last six league starts. The Liverpool centre back has been brought down 1.16 times per game this season and was caught late twice in the reverse fixture too. 

With Fulham rotating their options up top, Konate will be facing either Raul Jimenez or Rodrigo Muniz, both of whom are no strangers to the sound of the referee’s whistle, averaging 1.86 and 1.71 offences per 90 respectively. Whomever lines up against the Frenchman will be looking to impose their physicality and with Konate happy to go down and buy a cheap free kick, this selection can 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?

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.
