Striker with lowest shirt number will move down to replace red carded player. And it is one of the tweaks of the sim sometimes - opposition tactics "shifts in to place" if they are one man down!
Simple explanation why it(red carded team plays better with man down) happens is that player who passes the ball to striker have one option less to pass to therefore opposition may play better. But if opponent have good counter tactics than red carded team may suffer heavily from it!
