Does having a player red carded affect how your team play?
In one match against a team whose average rating was 93 I had a player red carded in the 15th minute. I thought I would get thrashed but ended up winning 2-0. In the very next match the opposition (average rating 88) had a player red carded in the 7th minute and won 4-1. My teams rating is 90 so this doesn't make sense. Does a red card have any bearing on the game apart from a suspension?
