Most Yellow Cards Premier League 2025-26 – Betting Guide

5th May 2026

Card markets are among the most popular bets in football – both pre-match and in-play. Knowing who picks up bookings most often, and which teams play in the most volatile fixtures, is the foundation of any smart card betting strategy.

Here is every piece of data you need from the Statz Premier League stats hub for 2025-26.

Most Yellow Cards – Premier League Players 2025-26

One player stands clear of the rest:

  1. Yerson Mosquera – 11 yellow cards
  2. Lewis Dunk – 10
  3. Dan Burn – 10
  4. Cristian Romero – 10
  5. James Garner – 10
  6. Moises Caicedo – 10
  7. Joao Gomes – 10
  8. Andre – 10
  9. Alex Jimenez – 10
  10. Kyle Walker – 9
  11. Ethan Ampadu – 9
  12. Joelinton – 9
  13. Casemiro – 9
  14. Trai Hume – 9
  15. Jan Paul van Hecke – 9

Mosquera Is the Standout

Yerson Mosquera has 11 yellow cards – that is nearly one every three games. He sits a full booking clear of the entire rest of the top group. For any card-related bet builder leg, he is the obvious starting point.

What is striking is the profile of the players around him. Eight players are all locked on 10 bookings. Cristian Romero, Moises Caicedo, Dan Burn – these are combative defenders and midfielders who put themselves about.

Defenders dominate this list. Of the top 15, the vast majority are centre-backs, full-backs, or defensive midfielders. That is exactly what you would expect – they make more tackles, challenge more aerially, and operate in high-pressure defensive situations.

Team Yellow Card Rates 2025-26

Individual cards are only half the picture. Team context is the other half.

Playing Spurs or Brighton Means More Cards

Spurs lead the league at 2.63 yellow cards per game. When you factor in that they also rank fourth for fouls committed, the picture is clear – their games produce cards.

Brighton at 2.43 is another team whose matches consistently see bookings. If you are doing a card accumulator, Spurs and Brighton games are the first ones to circle.

Arsenal games are the complete opposite. Just 1.29 yellow cards per game – the cleanest team in the Premier League by a significant margin. Avoid card markets in Arsenal fixtures unless the opposition is particularly aggressive.

Build Your Card Legs

Match the player booking data above with the team context. A player who commits a lot of fouls and plays in a volatile fixture – say a Spurs vs Brighton game – is a far stronger card bet builder leg than someone playing in an Arsenal home game.
