While we wait for further information on the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) situation, I thought I’d draw your attention to a recent rule tweak concerning the Bonus Point awards which some of you may have missed.

The FPL rules now state…

“Bonus points will be awarded on the Monday morning after the weekend matches are played. Any matches played on a weekday night will be awarded on the following morning.”

So, just to prevent even more frustration later this evening, we thought we’d make this clear to all in advance. The Bonus Points will be awarded after all the Gameweek action has been reviewed and any scoring issues addressed – which, given that they are now based on a system driven by a statistical index – the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index – is perhaps not surprising.

Fantasy Football Scout will of course be publishing a review of the Gameweek on Monday, discussing the Bonus Points and the EA SPORTS PPI in full.

Later today we also hope to have our first set ICT Scout Index scores available to Members which should offer some guidance on where the Bonus Points are likely to go.

As mentioned in my recent comments in the site earlier this morning, if we can get an update on the FPL situation, we will pass what we can.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

            There were some crazy decisions under the old system, but hanging out here for an hour after the last game waiting for the BP to come thru was fun.

      I don't understand all the anger - we've had weeks to plan our teams.

      Not much has changed since Friday afternoon so I'm sure you're team can't be that bad! You can always make transfers when it's back up again.

      It's a free game. Get a grip. That is all.

        Chris, simply click your username on FFS and it will direct you to FPL. You can look at your team, others around you but not make any transfers etc..

        Hope it helps.

        Works for those teams who have updated there FPL team within FFS over the summer.
