The EA Sports Player Performance Index scores are out and the Fantasy Premier League have now updated their bonus points accordingly. Here’s how the bonus breaks down for gameweek sixteen, with more than a few surprises in store…

Aston Villa 0 Liverpool 2
Skrtel 3, Bellamy 2, Johnson 1

Man City 1 Arsenal 0
Silva 3, Balotelli 2, Zabaleta 1

Please note, the Aguero assist for Silva’s goal was removed following review. It was adjudged that the City striker did not get a touch on Balotelli’s cross but that the Arsenal defender diverted it into David Silva’s pass. The assists awarded to Mario Balotelli which boosted his EA PPI and saw him claim the two, relegating Pablo Zabaleta back down to one.

QPR 0 Man United 2
Carrick 3, Valencia 2, Rooney & Welbeck 1

Tottenham 1 Sunderland 0
Adebayor & Friedel 3, Van der Vaart 1

Blackburn 1 West Brom 2
Brunt 3, Morrison 2, Reid 1

Everton 1 Norwich 1
Osman 3, Holt 2, Martin 1

Fulham 2 Bolton 0
Ruiz 3, Dempsey 2, Murphy 1

Newcastle 0 Swansea 0
Williams & Santon 3, N Taylor 1

Wigan 1 Chelsea 1
Sturridge 3, Gomez 2, Cole & Figueroa 1

Wolves 1 Stoke 2
Etherington 3, Crouch 2, Hunt 1

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

    OK, a defensive question for once.

    how to improve this shower of shi...n kickers:

    BAE, Enrique, Smalling, Wilko, Naylor.

    Wilko > Shotton (super sideways but at least he's mobile)
    Smalling > Evans (and then use the free cash?)

    all sugestions welcome. even JoA's.

        believe me, it hasn't always been like that this season. they've all kicked shins at some point.

        it's just that Wilko is out of the running (and walking and crawling).

        plus BAE vs CHE and Naylor vs EVE (with Drenthe power) worry me slightly.

    Vorm's gonna have to make 15 saves, 2 penalty saves, keep a clean sheet, and score a goal before he gets the bonus points he deserves this season! Besides all that, safe RVP captain this week, or roll the dice with Baines/Yak? (need to start making some ground up)

      looking round this week, it appears the RvP away to a shockingly bad AVL is the best option.

    Hello there.
    I wonder if I should make a change for 4 points:

    Drenthe in for Sessegon
    Ba in for Yak

    All 4 have tempting games this week, but Yak is facing 2 strong opponents after this weeks games and Ba hast 2 easy games comming up.

    If Drenthe or Ba rise in price I won't be able to make the changes after tomorrow. I don't want to miss out on the opportunity to get Ba in my team... what would you do?

      someone posted a quote in which 'Arry said it was a sprained ankle.

      Bale thought he'd be OK for the game but he couldn't put all his weight on it (good job it wasn't Lampard).

      anyway, it was a very vague article that roughly translated to "i'm saving Bale for the CHE game".

    My team looked so good before the weekend (everyone was quiet happy who had a comment on here to).

    Shambles of a score.

    Really need to get rid of Rooney or RVP to spread some of the wealth into midfield, but would just be crazy to change at the moment

    Vorm, Krul
    Raylor, Naylor, Jones, Shawx, Jagielka
    Nani, Bale, Walters, Sess, Gower
    Rooney, RVP, Ba

    I wanted Shawx to get yellow'd in the last game, so he misses City, but Raylor, Bale and possibly Gower injuries have made situation worse.

    Hmmm difficult choices for my defence and cheap mid options this week. Hope it doesn't hurt me as bad as last week! Total loss this week:

    Baines, Hennessey, Mata -4 = 3 points
    Vorm, Naylor, VDV = 21 points

    Ouchie!

      I think I'd bench Jones. Chances are he'll be called into action anyway.

        It does look like Jones, he was unlucky on Saturday, should of scored. Thinking possibly simpson though. Why will he be called into action?

          Because you probably have a player elsewhere in your team who might be rested(?).

      I'd say the chances of Newcastle keeping a cleanie vs WBA at home are about the same as Utd keeping one at the Cottage. The chances of Jones getting you anything else, though, are monstrous compared to Simpsons'.

    So is the Rolls Roysten back on the road then? I jumped off, thinking it was kaput. Its going to be mighty irritating if it turns out to be a luxury car, as I have once bitten twice shy syndrome about getting on board again.

    Do you not think Suarez is unlucky not to score alot more. He works so hard for the team, creates so much but the post, bar or a bit of bad luck seem to stop alot of his shots going in.
