Everton maybe top of the Premiership today but they currently lie last in the disciplinary charts with an average of 8.5 negative points a game. Aston Villa are top of the pile after hacking their way into Liverpool (with little success I may point out). A flurry of red cards has certainly made for interesting reading with, er, Reading heading the cards table with 5 yellows and 2 reds - suspensions will take their toll sooner or later... Meanwhile, the players table is shaping up nicely with a mixture of Reading, Fulham, Aston Villa and Boro' players occupying this weeks top 20. Readings Kalifa Cisse tops the chart but he will get some time to think about his lack of discipline due to his suspension. As with the teams you will find Everton players at the bottom of the rankings with Yobo, Hibbert and Lescott all with only 0.5 points each and Stubbs on zero. If you don't want to lose points in fantasy then these are your men. Other notables with good records include Man City's Corluka, Sunderland's McShane and Wigan's Granqvist who are also just on 0.5 pts after two games.
