How the model prices his matches
The cards model currently serving multiplies its card expectation by ×0.87 when Mario Melero López is appointed — his cards-per-foul ratio sits below his league's, surviving shrinkage toward the league mean. The ratio is shrunk toward the league by roughly thirteen matches’ worth of fouls, so a handful of card-happy games cannot manufacture a strict official (decision D-084).

Figures cover completed matches in this dataset only, and are compared against La Liga's own mean rather than a pooled average — leagues differ enough that a cross-league baseline would misrepresent every official in a high-foul competition. Cards count yellows and straight reds alike, because that is what the card markets settle on.
