How the new Bonus Points System has affected FPL scores so far

2 September 2024 337 comments

Skonto Rigga

The changes to the Bonus Points System (BPS) in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) were something we previously discussed ahead of the season.

Now, with the international break upon us and three Gameweeks’ worth of data to assess, we can see who the early winners and losers are.

HOW DOES THE BONUS POINTS SYSTEM WORK?

The BPS utilises a range of statistics supplied by Opta, who capture actions on the pitch to create a performance score for every player.

These actions range from scoring a goal, assisting and keeping a clean sheet to successful dribbles, recoveries and pass completion.

You can read more about these actions here.

The players with the top three BPS scores in a given match receive FPL bonus points – three points to the highest-scoring player, two to the second and one to the third.

WHAT ARE THE BONUS POINTS SYSTEM CHANGES IN 2024/25?

The adjustments to the BPS for 2024/25 are as follows:

Action	BPS score in 2023/24	BPS score in 2024/25
Goalkeeper saving a penalty	15	9
Goalkeepers/defenders conceding a goal	N/A	-4
Goalline clearance	N/A	3
Foul won	N/A	1
Shot on target	N/A	2

BONUS POINTS IN GAMEWEEKS 1-3: 2023/24 v 2024/25

Robertson likely to keep starting, or is he a rotation risk? Tempted to double up with TAA

  £13m on 2 defenders is a waste of funds imo.
  
  Once Liv start conceding, which they will, you’ll start regretting it, imo.

  I wouldn’t double up and after watching the game yesterday, TAA is worth the 1m over Robertson.

  Might be more likely to be rested the odd game than, say, a Mo, Alisson, or VVD, but barring an injury, Robbo will start the vast majority of games. He could be a great pick. Been getting forward and involved in attacks, taking the free kicks from the right, plus clean sheets seem more likely this season than the last couple. I’d be very tempted to go there if I wasn’t already trebled up on Liverpool.

Hi all! Had a strong result but maybe a tweak?

Henderson
Saliba - Mazraoui - Robinson
Madueke - Smith Rowe - Salah - Saka
Haaland (C) - Havertz - Wood

Subs: Fabianski - Winks - Harwood-Bellis - Mosquera

Options with £0.6 in the bank.
A - Wood to Pedro
B - Roll
C - Other ideas?

  True, but this is now and we all need Salah, so it is what it is….

More and more tempted by WC. Even if I get Salah and JP for free within 2GWs, means I have to play ESR and Rogers (which can be far from ideal). I’m also not sure about Jota output going forward. Thoughts?

      This is my thinking too.
      
      I have 3 FT so I can get Salah and JP without spending WC, but can fix other holes too if I WC now (Barco and Mykolenko).

      Price movements only good if I want to keep player now unless double rise I don't want. I've already done my -4 before price change

  No, Spurs' defense isn't good enough for regular CS, and he's not getting G/A regularly enough

  It’s A for me. Pedro has two fantastic home fixtures, and Mo is head and shoulders the best Liverpool asset for me. Goals, assists, on pens, always starts the season red hot. Don’t think his output can be matched with just one other Liverpool attacker.

On topic.... Don't get why they are favouring the already highest scoring players in the game over defenders and goalkeepers with the bps.
