There may only be four games on Sunday, but when we have an EFL Cup final between the Premier League’s top two, as well as the Tyne-Wear Derby, a relegation six pointer and the most fouled team in the division in action, everything points towards plenty of fouls.

All bets are covered by bet365 Sub On Play On, meaning your bet is still alive even if a player is subbed off.

Sunday's Player Fouls Accumulator Tips
5 Selections @ 4.66

Newcastle v Sunderland

Premier League

12:00

Jacob Ramsey Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.36

Bruno Guimaraes’ injury has meant that Jacob Ramsey has been given a spell in Newcastle’s starting lineup, and he’s been getting stuck in, averaging 1.28 fouls per 90. The midfielder has committed 12 infringements across his last nine league starts, including being sent off for two bookable offences recently against Man United. 

The midfield battleground should be feisty given the rivalry between the two clubs and Ramsey will be opposing Noah Sadiki, Granit Xhaka and Habib Diarra, who between them are fouled four times per 90. Two of the Magpies’ central midfielders were booked in the reverse fixture and with Ramsey fatigued from being given the run around by Barcelona in midweek, we should see at least one late challenge.

Newcastle v Sunderland

Premier League

12:00

Noah Sadiki Over 0.5 Fouls Won @ 1.33

If Ramsey is going to commit a foul, Noah Sadiki is one of the most likely recipients, given that he’s been brought down 1.22 times per 90 this season. The Congolese midfielder has drawn seven offences across his last three starts and will be relied upon by the Black Cats to carry the ball into the Newcastle half for counter attacks, making him more likely to be on the end of a cynical foul. 

As well as Ramsey’s combative approach, Sadiki will also be up against Joelinton and potentially Sandro Tonali, who combine for 2.87 fouls per 90. Across Newcastle’s last six games in all competitions, opposition central midfielders have drawn 23 infringements, and so it’s an area of the pitch the officials will need to keep a close eye on.

Aston Villa v West Ham

Premier League

14:15

Matty Cash Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.33

Matty Cash’s gung-ho approach to attacking often means that he’s caught out of position, and given no choice but to haul his opposing winger down. The Polish full back is renowned for his tough tackling and is averaging 1.37 fouls per 90 in league action. He’s also especially prolific at Villa Park, where he’s landed this bet in all of his 14 starts this season, and was booked in the reverse fixture where he made two fouls. 

With Crysencio Summerville out injured, Pablo is likely to deputise on the left side of West Ham’s attack and he’ll provide plenty of physicality for Cash. The Brazilian arrived in the Premier League having averaged 2.92 fouls won per 90 in Portugal, and is already being felled regularly for his new club, and so should be able to force at least one Matty Cash offence.

Arsenal v Man City

EFL Cup

16:30

Erling Haaland Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.44

Recent meetings between Arsenal and Man City have been combative in a key area of the pitch, largely thanks to Erling Haaland’s ‘stay humble’ message back in September 2024. In the game that caused the Norwegian’s outburst, he committed three fouls and he’s racked up three more in both meetings since, and so he’s clearly not forgotten whatever it was that upset him 18 months ago. 

Arsenal’s central defensive partnership of Gabriel and William Saliba will be more than happy to mix it physically with Haaland, and given Mikel Areta’s penchant for the ‘dark arts’, we can trust that they’ll go down at the slightest touch from City’s number 9. In any case, Haaland has appeared frustrated in recent weeks and has landed this bet in three of his last five starts, and hopefully he’ll lash out again.

Arsenal v Man City

EFL Cup

16:30

Gabriel Maghalaes Over 0.5 Fouls Won @ 1.44

Having mentioned Haaland’s misdemeanours in recent head-to-heads between Man City and Arsenal, it also makes sense to have Gabriel on side to be fouled as part of our acca. The Brazilian midfielder has been on the end of a late challenge in each of his last three games against Pep Guardiola’s men, and has also been felled 1.21 times per 90 across all competitions this season. 

As well as his heated rivalry with Haaland, Gabriel will also be marking the likes of Rayan Cherki and Antoine Semenyo, both of whom are no stranger to the sound of the referee’s whistle, committing 0.89 and 1.77 fouls per 90 respectively. If Arsenal can get ahead, they’ll be employing every tactic in the book to run the clock down, and Gabriel going down under the slightest contact has been a feature of their approach to that in recent weeks.

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.
