There are four Premier League fixtures involving four of the nine most fouled teams in the division on Sunday, I've picked out my five best player fouls bets across the action.

Sunday's 4/1 Premier League Player Fouls Accumulator Tips
5 Selections @ 5.40

Aston Villa v Brentford

Premier League

14:00

Matty Cash Over 0.5 Fouls Won @ 1.44

Aston Villa right back Matty Cash has a strong reputation for getting stuck into physical duels, and having been fouled 0.97 times per 90 this season, he’s no stranger to being the recipient of rough treatment. The Poland international has been brought down six times across his five appearances against the Bees, and so something about this match-up leads to him winning free kicks.

Cash’s opponent for this tie will be Kevin Schade, who should be used to the sound of the referee’s whistle, as he’s committed 1.63 fouls per 90 this season. The German has been instructed to aggressively press opposition defenders by Keith Andrews and as he’s not an experienced tackler, he regularly commits offences and Cash will happily go down to relieve pressure on his team.

Man United v Fulham

Premier League

14:00

Luke Shaw Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.25

Having lost a yard of pace due to multiple long-term injuries, Luke Shaw has been struggling to time his challenges this season, making 1.35 fouls per 90. He’s landed this bet in 14 league starts and has looked vulnerable back out at left back since Ruben Amorim’s departure, with five offences in his last three games. 

The heavily fouled Harry Wilson is an excellent match-up for this selection, as his agility and quick footwork have seen him fouled 1.33 times per 90 this term. Shaw has played against Fulham on five occasions, landing this bet in all five, and now he will be isolated in one-on-ones with the Wales winger, he looks even more likely to mistime a challenge.

Nottingham Forest v Crystal Palace

Premier League

14:00

Morgan Gibbs-White Over 0.5 Fouls Won @ 1.53

Morgan Gibbs-White has been attracting plenty of attention from the opposition in recent weeks, being hauled down nine times across his last four league starts. Forest’s attacking midfielder loves to carry the ball into the final third, and with Sean Dyche’s side set-up to play on the counter, this is often leading to him being the recipient of cynical fouls.

Across Crystal Palace’s last three matches, opposition central midfielders have been fouled on 17 occasions, demonstrating how combative their players are in the middle of the park. Tasked with containing Gibbs-White will be Will Hughes and Jefferson Lerma, who combine for 2.73 fouls per 90 this season, there will be challenges flying in, and we only need one of them to be late on our man.

Tottenham v Man City

Premier League

16:30

Cristian Romero Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.40

Tottenham captain Cristian Romero is loved by fans for his passionate approach to the game, and that enthusiasm is often getting him in trouble with officials, as he can’t seem to stop himself steaming into ill-advised tackles. The Argentine has committed 1.37 infringements per 90 this season and seems to get pumped up for clashes with Man City, as he’s made 11 fouls in seven appearances against them, landing this bet in all seven, being booked four times and sent off once. 

Erling Haaland is Romero’s likely opponent and it will come as no surprise that he’ll be looking to keep him quiet with a physical approach. Playing at right centre back, he’ll also likely find himself up against Jeremy Doku, who draws 2.73 fouls per 90, and so what looks like a tough afternoon only further enhances the chances of the angry Argentine catching someone late in trademark fashion.

Tottenham v Man City

Premier League

16:30

Rodri Over 0.5 Fouls Won @ 1.44

Since returning from his ACL injury, Rodri has seen plenty of the ball for Man City, and with opponents looking to pressure him into giving it away, he’s been fouled 1.85 times per 90 this season. He’s landed this bet in six of his seven league starts, only failing to do against Brentford where he was subbed after 22 minutes, and given that he’s drawn 11 fouls across that sample, he looks nicely priced for just one on Sunday afternoon.

Thomas Frank has recently recalled Yves Bissouma from out in the cold and in partnership with Conor Gallagher, he forms what looks a very physical duo in the middle of midfield. Neither player has played much Premier League football this season, but when we consider that they committed 1.79 and 2.38 fouls per 90 respectively in their last full seasons in the division, it’s easy to imagine Rodri being fouled at least once.

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.
