During the first eleven days played this season, 403 yellow cards and 23 red cards were shown by referees in Ligue 1 McDonald's, respectively an average per match of 4.07 and 0.23. Since the start of the season, ASSE has received 25 yellow cards, which ranks the Foréz club in seventh place. The first position is occupied by the Greens' next opponent, Montpellier, who has already received 30 warnings. With 16 yellow cards, PSG is the least sanctioned club.
The Stéphanois have still not received a single red card this season. Rennes, Strasbourg, Paris, Lyon and Lille are in the same situation as ASSE. This ranking is dominated by Olympique de Marseille, since the Phocéens have already seen red four times.
If the Greens have not yet received the slightest expulsion, they are still very regularly sanctioned, since they are the third team having committed the most faults, with a total reaching 151 faults. This ranking is dominated by RC Lens, with 171 faults. Also note and it is rather surprising thatIbrahim Sissoko is the most penalized player in Ligue 1, tied with Toulouse defender Cristian Casseres Jr, with 24 fouls committed. It must be said that the Saint-Etienne striker uses his body a lot and harasses defenses with his pressing.
Finally, ASSE is a very bad student when it comes to causing mistakes. Indeed, the Greens are the team having caused the fewest opposing fouls, tied with RC Lens, for a record of 108 fouls caused. This ranking is dominated by Monaco, with a total of 160 fouls caused.
