When does the Premier League wipe all the cards for the season?
The cut-off date for yellow cards in the Premier League is December 31. (In the Football League, it is November 30).
It means a player receiving their fifth yellow card of the season on January 1 will not receive a ban.
However, a player receiving 10 yellows by the end of the season will still be given a ban, so the cards are not completely wiped from a player’s record.
Judging by the above explanation Chelsea Wingback Victor Moses is not in danger as all cards he picked up have been wiped out by the turn of the year.
