Here's a list of my foul selections ahead of GW36 of this season's Premier League.

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


Saturday's Player Fouls Accumulator Tips
4 Selections @ 3.50

Liverpool v Chelsea

Premier League

12:30

Ryan Gravenberch Over 0.5 Fouls Won @ 1.25

I come back to this angle almost every week - it’s remained around this price point all season, despite Gravenberch maintaining a very consistent foul-won record across the campaign. He was fouled once when Liverpool visited Stamford Bridge earlier in the season, and will face off against a combative midfield trio of Fernandez, Lavia, and Caicedo here.

Caicedo is as short as 1.13 to commit a foul, and his midfield partner Lavia, is only slightly ahead at 1.2. Gravenberch wins fouls due to his brilliant ability and intelligence in tight spaces; he can create space with a single turn and quickly get Liverpool on the attack. This part of his game hasn’t changed much this season, but the wider structure of Liverpool’s midfield has meant these situations are not as beneficial to Arne Slot’s side.

Gravenberch has won 39 fouls across his 31 Premier League starts this season (1.27 per 90) and should attract attention from Chelsea’s midfield when trying to turn defence into attack for Liverpool - one of his best skills as a midfielder for the Reds.

Fulham v Bournemouth

Premier League

15:00

Sander Berge Over 0.5 Fouls Won @ 1.83

Sander Berge doesn’t have a crazy record when it comes to winning fouls (0.46 per 90), but I have had success when backing him to win fouls when I know he’s going to be up against an aggressive midfield. Bournemouth are the perfect side for this matchup, becoming one of the most aggressive sides in the Premier League under Andoni Iraola.

Only three sides have committed more fouls than Bournemouth in the Premier League this season (11.8 per game), and only Brighton (85) and Tottenham (90) have picked up more yellow cards in the division than the Cherries (81). They did only commit eight fouls in the initial league meeting between the sides, but I’d expect this to be a bit more of an aggressive battle between two sides who have a real chance of qualifying for Europe.

Berge will line up against Alex Scott (1.34 fouls per 90) and Tyler Adams (1.68 per 90), who both have to cover quite a lot of ground in the middle of the park due to the space that Bournemouth leave behind their attacking line - who are instructed to press as high as possible.

Sunderland v Man United

Premier League

15:00

Noah Sadiki Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.22

Noah Sadiki is one of the most underrated midfielders in the Premier League, I’m very sure that he’ll earn a move to one of the bigger clubs in the Premier League or Europe in the next few seasons. He’s perfectly suited for the Premier League, and has traits of players like Kante and Caicedo - winning challenges that make you go, how on earth did he win the ball?

His role naturally leads to a decent foul record, which should come to the fore here against a United side who should be full of confidence after completing a league double over Liverpool for the first time in over five years. Sadiki has committed 29 fouls across his 30 starts in the Premier League this season, working out to an average of 0.99 fouls committed per 90.

His main opponents here are likely to be Kobbie Mainoo and Casemiro, who combine to win 2.43 fouls per 90 in the Premier League this season. Sadiki committed three fouls and was shown a yellow card when these sides met earlier in the season, with United winning 2-0 in that clash.

Man City v Brentford

Premier League

17:30

Kevin Schade Over 0.5 Fouls Won @ 1.25

Kevin Schade has been solid for Brentford this season, though his contributions have been a bit overshadowed by the form of Igor Thiago, who continues to inch closer towards Haaland in the goalscoring charts. Schade has pitched in with 10 goal contributions for the Bees this season, seven of these being goals, and also has a solid record when it comes to winning fouls.

Schade has won 42 fouls across his 30 starts in the Premier League this season (1.48 per 90), and was fouled four times when City last welcomed Brentford to the Etihad in the EFL Cup. He was also fouled twice when Brentford faced off against Manchester City in the Premier League earlier in the campaign, so it may be worth testing higher lines for Schade on this clash.

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.
