The EA Index scores for gameweek 7 are now available and the Fantasy Premier League bonus points have now been added to the game. Read on for our breakdown of how these mapped out – we will update you should any EA PPI stats or bonus points be reviewed.

Aston Villa 2 Wigan 0
Agbonlahor 3, Collins 2, Bannan 1

Gabby Agbonlahor was well out in front in the PPI stakes and, with a goal and an assist, there can be no complaints on his 3 bonus award. James Collins put in another strong defensive display – enough to see him earn another couple of bonus, with Barry Bannan adding to his maximum at QPR with another single bonus point – courtesy of his assist in this game.

Blackburn 0 Man City 4
Nasri 3, Johnson 2, Kolarov 1

With a goal and two more assists in this City victory, it’s no shock to see Samir Nasri fetch the top PPI score and help himself to 3 bonus – his first maximum of the season. Adam Johnson’s crucial opener provides him with the platform for his first bonus, while Aleksandar Kolarov picked up the remaining point, edging out David Silva in the PPI stakes with an assist and clean sheet.

Bolton 1 Chelsea 5
Lampard 3, Sturridge 2, Luiz 1

Back in form, back in the goals and subsequently in line for 3 bonus points from Chelsea’s Reebok demolition. It’s no surprise to see Daniel Sturridge pick up the 2, while David Luiz came away with a couple of assists which helped him to an impressive PPI haul.

Everton 0 Liverpool 2
Carroll 3, Enrique 2, Kelly 1

Andy Carroll’s opener sealed him Liverpool’s leading PPI score in the win at Everton. Jose Enrique provided the assist for that opening goal and that helped him to a high ranking and 2 bonus points. Martin Kelly is perhaps a surprise for the single bonus point however – his PPI presumably boosted by the clean sheet, which saw him edge out Luis Suarez by just 2 points in the Index (26 vs 24).

Fulham 6 QPR 0
Johnson 3, Zamora 2, Murphy 1

These always looked cut and dry – Andy Johnson’s hat-trick and Bobby Zamora’s goal and assists settle the top spots in the PPI. Danny Murphy’s spot-kick and assist contributed to him collecting a single bonus; Clint Dempsey was unlucky not to be in line for extra points considering a strong PPI score of 32 on the day.

Man United 2 Norwich 0
Anderson 3, Jones 2, Evans 1

Anderson was clearly out in front when it comes to United’s PPI scores – his opening goal helping him to the maximum bonus here. Phil Jones and Jonny Evans came away with clean sheets and accrued defensive stats that helped them collect the remainder. Danny Welbeck and Antonio Valencia were just outside bonus recognition.

Sunderland 2 West Brom 2
Bendtner 3, Long 2, Elmohamady 1

Nicklas Bendtner earned his first FPL bonus of the season with a goal and an assist in the 2-2 with West Brom. The Baggies’ Shane Long is line for the 2 bonus, with Elmohamady picking up the remainder, just edging out team-mate Seb Larsson.

Swansea 2 Stoke 0
Graham 3, Sinclair & Allen 2

Danny Graham’s first goal in the top flight fetches him the maximum with Scott Sinclair having to share the 2 bonus with Joe Allen who earned an assist. That meant that both Ashley Williams and Neil Taylor – tied on 19 PPI – both missed out.

Tottenham 2 Arsenal 1
Walker 3, Van der Vaart 2, Adebayor 1

Kyle Walker’s winner is enough to earn him the maximum here with Rafael Van der Vaart in on the act courtesy of his opening goal. Adebayor provided the assist for that strike – no surprise to see him collect the remaining bonus then. Aaron Ramsey was just a single PPI point from sharing that bonus.

Wolves 1 Newcastle 2
Gutierrez 3, Tiote 2, Cabaye 1

No real surprise here – Gutierrez scored the decisive second goal with Cabaye providing the assist for Ba’s opener. Tiote presumably collected some impressive performance statistics to help him to 2 bonus – we will break those down in detail over in our Scout bonus breakdown at the FPL later today.

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

    Impressive Tackle (and others), despite the frustration of defending are you liking FIFA 12? I got it Friday but managed initial set up and 3 exhibition games vs. comp over the weekend... Not the several hours I was hoping for.

    I'm just holding 'x' (PS3) for marking rather than shoulder buttons, but do find Demba Ba waltzing through 3 defenders in my box and getting a shot off... GRRRR!!!

    I'm going to stick it out and hope that time will improve my game!

    All in all though I'm quite liking it.

            True that, or stand right infront of the goalie when he is abit to kick out. It used to bounce off your player into the goal. Classic moments of hatred between me and my brother 🙂

      Sent the Missus out on Saturday night and had a massive 'FIFA' session with a few mates.

      THink the new defendign is miles better tyhan the old fifa. Yoiu now have to actually defend as a team and keep your shape rather than sending your centre halfs out like homing missles.

      Would advise against holding 'x' constantly like on previous FIFA. 'x' is now contain and works well when oppo on edge of the box or out wide trying to get a cross in... but jockey works much better when oppo running at you with pace.

          Indeed it is rude not to.

          For me, its all about online anyway - get bored with playing the AI and don't see the satisfaction.

          Another good tip as I am such a fountain of knowledge..

          it seems this year that players get more noticeably 'knackered' towards the end of games, so avoid using sprint when you don't need to. i.e. sprinting around with your forward closing down defenders who are passing it around. Leave them to it and save energy.

      I don't know, I'm finding it almost impossible to master.

      Games versus the CPU are very difficult. I could stroll to a victory on Legendary in Fifa 11 but have had to drop down to Professional and have had pretty tight games at that level. I'm giving it time though.

      The online games are quite good though as you are facing off against equally bemused people. The defending in those games is equally awful so I am enjoying that element.

      It's still a great game.

        I think all in all it's better. I've discussed it with one of my friends and have concluded that this is one of those 'dip years' in FIFA.

        They bring in big change, and it's not quite there, next years game will perfect it and we will have the best game on our hands ever... MWWAAAAA HHAA HAAA!!

        This game is probably the most fustrating football game I have ever played. The learning curve is alot harder than the other FIFA's but in this game in terms of defending I found most success using RT/R2 (second contain) and just running around jockeying with other player.

      Even if he doesn't get another goal this season he's worth the attention - it's difficult to think of a more attacking right back and since Spurs are defending well and attacking well he seems an entirely plausible option to pick up a few assists and cleanies.

      Yeah he really is I think. Kolarov would've been a fine fantasy prospect his problem was rotation (and being subbed off early, getting sent off and other things).
      Spurs defense looks a lot better with Parker in front of it and Walker had a goal and 3 assists in a less attacking side last year.
      Oh and full backs seem to be prime candidates for BPs. He's joining my team I do believe.

            Don't usually knee-jerk but I haven't been doing that well this season...usually top 10k. Finished just outside the top 1k last year but this year im at 120k atm.

          Henry isn't a great option and I'd be more comfortable with Krul over Rudd if you can afford that, but generally speaking I think it's very good - nice balance, good choice of expensive players / captain options.

    Fell further behind again. Eugh. I look at my team compared to rivals and think "much better". They play the likes of Boyata against Chelsea and Enrique at Goodison Park and get huge points for it. Fair enough, a bit of luck is fine but to see this happen every week is so annoying.

    Doesn't help that some of my Man United supporting mates who barely even follow football are starting to get arrogant with how well they are doing.

    That's my little hungover rant done. Eugh.

    Started catching up this week. Now time to sort out my defense. RTaylor, De Laet and Ward all need to start packing (RTaylor only because of rotation risk).

    My other 2 are Bosingwa and Hutton, plan being play these 2 most weeks and rotate 1 of the other 3 (though occasionally fixtures change that).

    First out the door will be De Laet, who I'd like to replace with another 4.0.

    I was heading towards Gabbidon, but unconvinced by their fixtures, and a team that can concede 6 to Fulham might struggle to keep cleanies. NTaylor was also an option, but I've got Vorm, don't want to double up on Swansea AND Newcastle.

    Any other recommendations... Ideally someone who might score the odd attacking point, as dont expect many cleans from my 4.0.

          Yea I wonder that too about Woodgate, I had similar reservations about having Vorm and Naylor when I took DeLaet out the week before last - but they seems so much more solid than QPR I think I've probably made the right decision, regretting benching Naylor this week.

      Nani and Young is too much for Utd's next 3 fixtures.

      Personally still not convinced by Arsenal, yes they have good fixtures but can see Sunderland at home as a 1-0 win tbh...

      For now, A but also look at addressing Moses or Bramble as i'm sure you're play 3-4-3.

        The problem is no perfect replacement in MF and so much choices of FW.

        Lampard is too expensive for rotation risk and VDV looks not so healthy.. ðŸ™

    Got 7BPs so won't complain about that - Agbonlahor, Anderson & Cabaye.

    However, very surprised Suarez didn't get any. He was at the heart of nearly everything - Rodwell's 'red card', fouled for the missed penalty and also scored the 2nd and was on the winning team.

    Probably doesn't add up in 'statistics' though...

    And now for something completely different...

    I'm running a Pub League but whilst using FPL points, its the Suns Dreamteam prices with just 11 players and no captains.

    I've got 3 Transfers i can use...so any advice would be nice, and at least its a bit of a change from the normal to ponder...

    Team ATM

    J Hart
    J A Risse, B Sagna, P Mertesacker, S Warnock
    L Nani, D Silva, T Walcott, A Taarabt,
    R V Persie, G Agbonlahor...

    Toying with Sagna - S Taylor, Walcott - Lamps and Taarabt - Suarez? Just trying to spread the cover... only had 4 Arse cuz of the fixtures. but the next transfer window for the sun is around Christmas, so its for a long haul...

          lol I've only just got rid of my hangover, so no worries...Technically i can make as many as i want at 50p a pop but there is only 25 teams. So no real need to panic much, most have all gone for Aguero and Rooney, but i just felt i missed the boat and thought sod it. Toying with Mata rather than Lamps to free up some dosh, but thinking with all Chelski's forward line up, he is a risk of coming off early or used as a late sub? Surely if Lampard starts, he ususally finishes the match?

    So what happened with Taarabt yesterday? off at half time? And then he left the stadium or something? Time to ship him before Blackburn at home?

      i've gone taarabt -> ramsey based on i) his form; ii) the fact he isn't as central to QPR's play as he was; iii)fixtures after Bla (h) look tougher and iv) Ramsey's the best placed 6.5 and under mid at present

    Just looking at some possible transfers for the next few game weeks. These are my choices.

    Agbonlahor -> Suarez
    SWP -> Ramsey

    Adebayor -> Suarez
    SWP -> Modric/VdV
    With this transfer, if I get Modric, I'll be able to bring in Rooney for Suarez the Gameweek after, as long as there's no price rises..

        I knee-jerked Sturridge in for Aguero, then would have either Agbon/Ade and Suarez.

        I'd get in Modric for Tottenham coverage with Adebayor out, and I'm not completely sure on Agbonlahor yet.
