Red card usually warrants a change of our own formation and orders to take the man advantage by exploiting the extra space. Unless the opponent has a DC sent off when we play 2 STs or more, or DMC sent off when we have an AMC in the team, progressing without our own changes may only give us a little bit of possession advantage The engine calculation may even be tipped towards our opponent if the sent-off player was the key of their underperformance with missed passes and shots, and if we don’t try to manipulate and attack the space to further control the match.

With the 2nd yellow there, unless that player is your top attacker or another having the best ratings even with the yellow, he should have been subbed off at half-time with a yellow on 34th.

The possibility of a 2nd yellow for some 50+ minutes left costing both the current match (or as a minimum cost of more conditions of other players to win by 10 vs 11) and suspension for the following match are way too much to take.
