Just released players from MacArthur have been arrested for fixing yellow cards in a couple games this season and from the ages released 33,32, and 27. Its pretty much confirmed one of them is Davila... and potentially the 27yr old is either Lewis or De Silva as they both got yellows on one of the games. Hoping its not Lewis and really gutted it seems Davila was involved.

The number of yellow cards was allegedly manipulated during games played against Melbourne Victory on Friday 24 November 2023 and Sydney FC on Saturday 9 December 2023.

Police executed a search warrant in South Coogee on Friday morning and arrested a 33-year-old man.
At the Parramatta address, detectives arrested a 27-year-old man.
In West Hoxton, detectives arrested a 32-year-old man. 

Against Victory, yellow cards were picked up by Davilla (Aged 33) and Aspropotamitis (27). 

Against sydney Yellows for:
Davila (33)
Lewis (27)
Hovar (21)
Baccus (32)
De Silva (27)

So you'd think its Davila and Baccus, with one of Lewis and De Silva. Uli is the only 33 year old in the squad. 

Other Macarthur players that are the right age
32 - Kurto, Uskok
27 - Vujica

Pretty dissapointed that Uli is involved in this, he's always come across as a really top bloke. Fingers crossed that Clayton isn't involved. 

ETA - Fudge now confirmed that Uli is the 33 year old. no confirmation on the 32 & 27 year old
