Career profile
The two numbers that matter are vs league — the multiplier the model applies to a player's booking chance — and conversion, the share of fouls Marco Fritz turns into bookings. Conversion, not the raw foul count, is where a referee's real card tendency lives. Career figures across every Bundesliga season on record.

Frequently asked
How many cards does Marco Fritz give per game?
Marco Fritz averages 4.29 cards a game across 28 Bundesliga matches — 5% above the league average of 4.09. On a Marco Fritz appointment, the model multiplies every player's booking chance by 1.05.
Is Marco Fritz a strict referee?
About average. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls that become bookings — and Marco Fritz runs at 18.3% against a league average of 18.5%. Foul counts barely vary between officials; the rate at which a foul becomes a booking is where referees genuinely differ.
Does Marco Fritz's record change bet builder card prices?
It should. The referee is the single biggest factor in the to-be-carded market, and the appointment is public before kick-off — so a strict official on a combative player is the archetypal card edge. The player cards guide walks through exactly how the model turns a tendency like this into a price.
How reliable is Marco Fritz's card rate?
It rests on 28 career matches, a solid record. The model shrinks a referee's tendency toward the league average when the sample is thin and discounts its own confidence for officials with young records, so a number like this never gets trusted beyond what the evidence earns.
Rates shown are figures from public match data for context; the model adds shrinkage, an opponent factor and de-vigging, and discounts its confidence for thin referee records, before flagging any card as value. 18+ — please gamble responsibly.
