      Partly why I’m not that fearful of wildcarders, having used mine, there’s no real stand out picks, all guesswork and no solid predictability

      The BPS system is at least transparent. It's very clear what a player needs to do to earn BPS.

      I remember when man-in-stand bonus would be awarded to Charlie Adam and Andy Carroll every week just because the bloke in the stand liked them.

      The Baps system is completely transparent. You can see exactly what actions accrue points and lose points and it encompasses a lot more things than just goals.
      Generally speaking I’d say it works pretty well, and from watching the game I’d say Dango was one of, if not the best player on the pitch.
      Don’t see the issue with him getting 3pts

    68 points all out once the Dango baps are added and I get the sweet, sweet bench jam from Andersen. Really happy with that, but still miles away from top 100k. This game is much harder than it used to be
