Sky Sports Fantasy Game – Bonus Points Analysis

2,499 Comments
Share

As mentioned previously, our Fantasy football coverage will also include a weekly article on the Sky Sports game as we look to broaden our analysis of the various games available to Fantasy managers this season. Having already assessed the Rules, the Player List and broken down last season’s Man of the Match awards, the next article analyses the introduction of the new bonus points system, which awards players who make 60+ completed passes and/or 4+ successful tackles in any given Gameweek.

Unlike the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, Sky Sports use Opta data for analysing player performance – making it a perfect accompaniment for our Members section data. For that purpose, we’ve created custom tables in the Members Area which highlights the main protagonists from 2011/12, indicating the respective haul each player would have accrued in bonus points alone were the rule in place last season. These statistics are not available in the Sky Sports game, or anywhere else, giving our members a real edge when it comes to selecting their initial squads.

With two points for 60+ passes and another two points for 4+ tackles, it’s clear that the new bonus system will have a definite impact in how we approach the task of setting up our teams for the season ahead. Bearing in mind that the Points Scoring system allocates five points for a goal or a Man of the Match award and three points for an assist, identifying those players who are capable of producing the bonus points looks almost as vital.

Unsurprisingly, given the bonus criteria, nine of the top ten are midfielders, while Swansea’s passing game under Brendan Rodgers sees as many as three of their players also feature in the upper echelons, with one hovering just outside…

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      Depends on the rest of your Chelsea coverage, but i personally prefer Ramires out of the three. Easy replacements options in Pienaar, N'Zog etc after GW1 (though you could argue the same with Mata/Hazard > Bale etc)

    I think I've cracked it....

    Federici
    Ivanovic, Zabaleta, Hughes
    Bale, Cazorla, Mata, Nasri
    Torres (C), Tevez (VC), Graham

    Subs: Jussi, Gunter, 4.5 milf, Clyne.

      Don't like the keepers at all. 2 championship keepers aren't going to get the job done. But the rest of the team looks brilliant.

      Get Guthrie and boom I say.

        zabaleta will be ok until richards is back

        hughes in an injury doubt as well as a rotation risk

        then u have clyne and gunter who wont do feck all.

    Thoughts on my team. Thinking Schwarzer for first few GW's as they have a easy run. That means that I could get Vidic for Zab or Gerrard for Santi.

    DDG, Fed

    Zab, Hangeland, Cuellar, Demel, Clyne

    Lampard, Bale, Santi/Nani, Pienaar, Noble

    Torres, Graham,Tevez

    Bale or Sigurdsson - and why?

    Currently, I have Bale, because he seems a more safe attacking option. He'll play on the attacking left flank week in, week out. Sigurdsson, on the other hand, are more likely to suffer from VDV's cravings for the no. 10 position.

    Thanks again Paul,
    I enjoyed that a lot and managed in my guesswork sort of way to have half a dozen already in each of my teams.Which is about where I want to be allowing for other point scorers Goals/assists.
    Arteta worries me slightly with the new players and uncertainty over set piece duties. But he can come in as and when.

      To me that's like saying: If everything goes to plan, the player i picked shouldn't do too well. I'm starting with Rooney, as i think he will do well, and i save a crucial FT.

          It keeps alternating between Rooney Tevez Graham and Rooney Tevez Podolski. It's currently on the latter.

        I am still wavering on doing that myself. The RVP signing might give him a right boot up his big fat 'arris....

        I disagree. You're just gambling that Torres will out score Rooney by four points. If he does, you can still have that extra transfer and can pay with it with the extra points you gained, if you want.

          Yeah but i don't think he will outscore Rooney by 4pts. People are underestimating Wigan and Reading's defences.

            That's your choice and there's nothing wrong with that. Scout projections have Torres out scoring Rooney by four, so if this becomes reality it doesn't make a great deal of difference.

      I'm playing Aguero Tevez and Torres GW1 and planning Aguero>Rooney in GW2 and keeping Torres for the forseable (good replacement options in Podolski/Bent etc if needed)

    So lets think about this logically;

    Why have we all got Torres?

        I might go with Ramires as my token Chelsea instead, but I got Torres so long ago that I can no longer remember why.

    Hows this looking fellas

    DDG (Cerny)
    Ivanovic - Zabaleta - Hangeland (Gorkss, Cuellar)
    Nolan - Pienaar - Bale - Lampard (Frei)
    Graham - Tevez - Aguero

    2 mill in bank, can free up to get RVP or Rooney after GW1, as well as get rid of Lamps

    Thoughts?
