In the world of football, the behavior of teams on the field is often scrutinized, particularly regarding fouls and sanctions. Unión Deportiva Las Palmas draws attention by becoming the *second most cautioned team* in LaLiga for the 2024-2025 season, raising questions about their play and style of conduct.
The fine statistics of Unión Deportiva
With *29 yellow cards* to their name, Unión Deportiva Las Palmas positions itself just behind Villarreal, which has received 30 yellow cards. These figures are particularly surprising for a team that commits few fouls compared to other teams in the league.
In a remarkable match, referee Jesús Gil Manzano issued no less than 12 yellow cards, 9 of which were awarded to Las Palmas, despite only committing 12 fouls. This raises questions about refereeing decisions and their impact on the team’s performance.
Analysis of fouls and sanctions
In detail, Unión Deportiva has committed a total of *121 fouls* during the first ten matchdays of the championship, which corresponds to an average of one yellow card for every four fouls. This ratio seems *unbalanced* compared to the norm observed among other clubs in the Liga.
Among the players, *Fábio Silva* is currently the most cautioned with four yellow cards. In total, 18 players have been penalized this season, showing a fairly wide distribution of sanctions within the squad.
Comparison with other teams
To better contextualize the performances of Las Palmas, a comparison table with other cautioned teams provides interesting insights:
- Villarreal: 30 yellow cards
- Las Palmas: 29 yellow cards
- Real Valladolid: 29 yellow cards
- Espanyol: 27 yellow cards
- Alavés: 26 yellow cards
- Sevilla: 26 yellow cards
Meanwhile, the teams with the highest number of fouls committed stand out as follows:
- Getafe: 163 fouls
- Alavés: 153 fouls
- Rayo Vallecano: 152 fouls
- Real Valladolid: 140 fouls

Las Palmas, with its 121 fouls, is in *12th place* in terms of fouls committed, thus highlighting the paradox between the relatively low number of fouls and the high number of cards received.
These statistics spark a debate about the style of play of Unión Deportiva Las Palmas and how referees interpret actions on the field. The stakes surrounding this situation deserve to be closely monitored over the upcoming matchdays of LaLiga.
