Fining Players - unfiarly treated

Got a defender who received 3 red cards, 11 yellows and I am only in December.

I have warned him twice, third time I fined him. Came back with "unfairly treated"

When is the best time to fine him?

Also I think the interactions with players can be bumped up. I would like to explain to him why I fined him, although bit obvious.

Things like personal issues, the player should give me a reason what the personal issues are. Why they dislike me etc. So I can do things different to cater for him.

If he gets a red from 2 yellows it seems that you can only warn him. If it's a straight red you can issue a one week fine which should adjust his temperament.

Red Cards usally ruin any cahance I have of winning So I try to tak a firm line. I don't have tackling on hard so there is no excuse. My policy is warning after 1 red, fine 1wk after 2 red and fine 2wk for every other red that season. Every so often a player complains about been treated unfairly but I ignore him and if asked in press conference about unfaitr treatmnet I deny that its unfair. The player get over it about two months later.

If he gets two yellows in a match and is sent off, then a warning.

If it's a straight red hit him with 1 weeks wages, happens again hit him with 2 weeks wages.

Always go back and look at the match report and see what the bookings were for before taking action.

Got a re-gen who has a incredible PA of 198, but he gets sent off for fouls all the time.

Why? Could be certain stats because he still learning, has a very high dirty attribute or his prefered move of 'Marking Opponents Tightly'.

I tried to train him to stay on his feet after a couple of months, he failed to learn it.

Only throw him on as a sub now, too much of a liability.

Makes Robbie Savage look like a saint.

I see. But still

Yeah players do sometimes say they have been treated unfairly - even though they deserve the fine for their actions. But just like IRL footballers can be a bit fickle and in a few weeks time they will be your best mate and say to the media that all is well.

Yep, FM10 is better than FM09 in that players get over small things like this pretty fast.

It seems like disciplining will reduce aggression and increase temperament, but does not change dirtiness.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

it depends on the tempermant of the player. I've fined for 2 weeks certain players for 2 yellows = reds, and I can't even warn others for the same thing. It's all personality.

Can we still appeal the red cards? I remember when the Ass. Man used to tell you if you should appeal it or not, I can't remember seeing this in FM10.

yep, it happens. Although some straight red cards are not given the option.

it happens

What happens?

Rules i use.

Dismissal for 2 yellow = warning

Straight red = 1 week fine

Straight red for voilent conduct = 2 weeks fine

Generally my players dont get upset by this and consequently decide to play normally in the next game and not spoon every chance/tackle/clearance.

I stick with those as well. If the player disagrees, tough luck. Being firm teaches them what's what, and I do see a significant decrease in red cards in my second season at my club.

If a player keeps getting sent off, I sell him.
