Something that I noticed as new in this game is two red cards at the same minute in the same match. Those were not for matches I played; one was posted here on the forum by a forum member, and the other, I saw it in the game itself.
Based on things I saw in the game from way before, the game seem to set things up (including yellow and red cards) so that things will end up in such a way that it will satisfy what the engine wants but giving the manager reasons why the score ended up like that. Yellow and red cards might be due something bad on your side according to the calculations of the game (not necessarily one that would logically result in a card, hence it is poor simulation), but also as a sort of measure to satisfy an already given preference to some opponent (and that might be even the next matches, that is your players get suspended and cannot play in the next match) or as a sort of indication that some things will be not on your side in this match or for the next match (where players will be suspended). Some things just happen in this game so that it goes as the games wants according to the calculations made; this might even include say pre-determined things for a season or for a particular week too. Only some people at Nordeus know what has been put in this game, how many outcomes happened by intention and how many outcomes could be due to flaws, faults or errors. For sure some things are annoying in this game. There have been many complaints on this forum concerning cards - for example, the 'double yellow' . You can post too or report where you can, but what else can you do? There is not even an appeal option in this game concerning cards and bans. After some time, you might get so much used to it that you yourself will smile or laugh (take it as funny) when such undesirable things happen.

In my experience, when I have bad strategy (formation + tactics, not just formation), my players have higher chance to receive cards. So it's not just plain random to me.
Cards appear mostly in important games because I am facing stronger player with better strategy than normal matches.
