There’ll be some tired legs in Premier League action this Sunday after the midweek European games and with another round to come next week, distracted minds should mean plenty of mistimed challenges for our fouls acca.

There are also plenty more Football Tips for this week's Premier League slate.

Sunday's 6/1 Premier League Player Fouls Accumulator Tips
5 Selections @ 7.26

Brentford v Nottingham Forest

Premier League

14:00

Nikola Milenkovic Over 0.5 Fouls Won @ 1.83

Having been fouled 0.93 times per 90 since Sean Dyche took charge and drawing five offences in his last five league starts, Nikola Milenkovic looks a great price to be brought down against Brentford. The Serbian centre back is dominant in the air and therefore regularly finds himself on the end of a late push or stray arm from a frustrated striker who is sick of losing aerial duels with him.

In Igor Thiago, Milenkovic has the perfect match-up for winning free kicks as the Brazilian has committed more fouls than any other striker in the Premier League. His average of 1.85 fouls per 90 puts him third amongst all outfield players for fouls this season and when centre backs opposing the Bees have drawn nine fouls in their last seven matches, it’s easy to imagine Milenkovic getting caught late.

Crystal Palace v Chelsea

Premier League

14:00

Adam Wharton Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.50

Adam Wharton has been consistently whistled by referees since the turn of the new year, fouling on eight occasions in his last four league starts, landing this bet in each of those. The creative midfielder is desperate to break into Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad and is clearly overstepping the mark in challenges, which is catching the eye of the officials.

Wharton will be opposing Chelsea’s midfield trio of Moises Caicedo, Enzo Fernandez and Cole Palmer, who, between them, have been felled 4.77 times per 90 this season across all competitions. There’ll be plenty of defensive work for our man to get through and up against such excellent opponents for drawing infringements, he’ll do well to avoid a foul.

Crystal Palace v Chelsea

Premier League

14:00

Maxence Lacroix Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.61

So long as bookmakers keep pricing Maxence Lacroix this generously to commit fouls, we’ll keep backing him in this column. The Eagles defender has now committed at least one infringement in eight of his last nine league starts and is almost unmatched for consistency in his offences. He made two fouls in the reverse fixture and also cashed this bet in his only other appearances against the Blues and so it’s also a good match-up for the selection.

Either Joao Pedro or Liam Delap will be Lacroix’s opponent and when they’ve been fouled 1.91 and 2.12 times per 90, respectively, whoever starts the Frenchman is in for a difficult afternoon. Chelsea’s last seven matches across all competitions have seen opposition central defenders committing 17 fouls and Lacroix certainly has the credentials to add to those numbers.

Newcastle v Aston Villa

Premier League

14:00

Evan Guessand Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.50

With John McGinn out injured, Evan Guessand is expected to start on the right side of Unai Emery’s attack against Newcastle. Back from international duty at AFCON, the Ivorian has struggled to stay within the physical boundaries in his debut Premier League season, committing 1.68 fouls per 90. He’s made at least one infringement in all but one of his six league starts and should overstep the mark at least once here.

Newcastle left back Lewis Hall will be Guessand’s direct opponent in this game, and when he’s one of the most in-form players in the division when it comes to winning fouls, it only adds to the reasoning for this pick. Hall has been hauled down 14 times across his last four appearances in all competitions and 1.86 times per 90 across the season, and so won’t hesitate to go down under contact from Guessand.

Newcastle v Aston Villa

Premier League

14:00

Matty Cash Over 0.5 Fouls Committed @ 1.33

Our final pick is a reliable one in the form of Aston Villa full-back Matty Cash, who has committed at least one foul in 18 of his 21 league starts this season. The Polish international is known for his tough tackling approach and when he averages 1.74 dispossessions per game, he’s always likely to mistime the odd challenge.

Key to this bet is that Cash will be marking the heavily fouled Anthony Gordon, who is on the end of rough treatment 1.99 times per 90. Villa’s right back has struggled in head-to-head clashes with Gordon in recent times, making five fouls in the last three meetings, including one in the reverse fixture this season and so hopefully he’s ready to repeat the trick and finish our acca off.

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.
