the bright yellow one is the one in next match (CL, CUP or league) that player will have yellow card carry on...which mean if next match (let say CL) if he get a yellow card again.... the following CL will be banned... the "faded" yellow card mean that player has a yellow card, but not on the next coming up match...so, that mean in the next coming match, even he get yellow (in this case, CL) he won't be banned in the following CL as this is the first yellow card in CL...
