Ahead of the start of the Round of 32 of Fantasy FIFA World Cup, we look at all things disciplinary related.
YELLOW CARDS RESET!
First, some good news!
FIFA reset yellow cards after the group stage, so anyone sitting on one booking is no longer in imminent danger.
Bookings are wiped again after the completion of the quarter-finals, so players now have to negotiate another three-game block without being cautioned twice.
