The EA Sports PPI scores are now published and the Fantasy Premier League game bonus have been awarded, here’s how they map out for Gameweek Eleven. As far as we know, the goals, assists and bonus points have now been fully revised and the current points will now stand…

Arsenal 3 West Brom 0

Vermaelen 3, Van Persie & Arteta 2

With Gervinho judged to have got a touch on Robin Van Persie cross, the Arsenal skipper lost his initial assist for the Thomas Vermaelen’s goal and dropped to 32 PPI points as a result. He lost out on the maximum to the Belgian defender by just a single PPI point with Vermaelen recording 33 in the PPI. Mikel Arteta also recorded a PPI of 32 so he has now been promoted in the bonus reckoning, sharing the two bonus points with Van Persie. Alex Song and Theo Walcott were just outside the bonus reckoning.

Aston Villa 3 Norwich 2
Agbonlahor 3, Bent 2, Pilkington 1

The cast in our prediction were correct, but it was Gabby Agbonlahor who gained top billing by just a single EA PPI point from team-mate Darren Bent – it could not have been closer. Antony Pilkington came in for the single as predicted, courtesy of his fourth goal of the season. On 32 PPI points, Pilkington was a fully 20 behind both Bent and Agbonlahor. Pilkington nonetheless got the bonus, holding off team-mate Steve Morison by just 3 PPI points.

Blackburn 0 Chelsea 1

Lampard 3, Ivanovic 2, Cech 1

Our prediction in last night’s members article was spot on here. Frank Lampard gathered the bonus with a PPI score of 44, a full 19 points ahead of team-mate Branislav Ivanovic who, courtesy of his assist and some decent defensive stats, earned bonus on his return to the right-back berth. Petr Cech’s saves helped him secure just a second clean sheet of the season to help gather a PPI of 23, enough to see off Ashley Cole for the single bonus point.

Liverpool 0 Swansea 0

Dyer 3, Vorm 2, Johnson 1

Hands up, we got this one wrong in last night’s prediction. Despite Nathan Dyer’s ICT stats putting him second overall in this match behind Luis Suarez (who was never going to score well in PPI terms), we chose to ignore his claim for bonus and beef up the defensive players. Dyer did however prevail here, no doubt helped by an impressive set of all-round statistics that included tackles and efforts on goal. His 20 PPI points was the lowest total to earn 3 bonus this week but nonetheless proved enough, as Michel Vorm (17) and Liverpool’s Glen Johnson (15) came in next to also fetch bonus points.

Manchester United 1 Sunderland 0

Evra 3, Rooney 2, Vidic & Nani 1

Despite Patrice Evra coming out on top amongst our ICT ratings in the United defence, we opted to go with both Vidic and Ferdinand for the bonus in last night’s prediction, believing that their extra clearances would see them ahead in the PPI stakes. Evra’s all-round contribution, that included some decent attacking statistics, proved enough for him to record a PPI of 30 however, seeing off Wayne Rooney (26) and Vidic (19). Nani also totalled 19 PPI points to share the single bonus point with Vidic – we’ve had it confirmed that Nani is holding on to his assist for the winning goal – Danny Welbeck did not get a touch on his cross before Wes Brown nodded into his own net.

Newcastle 2 Everton 1

R Taylor 3, Rodwell 2, Simpson & Ba 1

Ryan Taylor gathered the maximum having scored what turned out to be the winning goal, converting his own long-throw via a Demba Ba flick, with an effort that dipped over Tim Howard. Ba shared a single bonus point having gained the assist for Taylor’s goal – his flick was cleared by an Everton defender within the penalty box, therefore, as the last attacker with a touch, Ba earned the assist. Danny Simpson, who provided the assist for the John Heitinga own goal, also fetched bonus here. Both Simpson and Ba recorded 21 EA PPI’s points, with Everton’s Jack Rodwell topping that on 25 courtesy of his consolation that offered Everton hope just before half-time, to earn the two bonus here.

QPR 2 Man City 3

Dzeko 3, Toure 2, Silva 1

Edin Dzeko came out on top as predicted with another powerful attacking display in City’s win at Loftus Road. The Bosnian just nudged out team-mate Yaya Toure by just a single PPI point, while David Silva’s goal helped him to a PPI haul of 29 – enough to see him earn a single bonus point. Jay Bothroyd was QPR’s top PPI performer on the day but was someway behind a host of City contenders as the victory heavily influenced the PPI outcome.

Wolves 3 Wigan 1

O’Hara 3, Ward 2, Edwards 1

Last night’s Members article correctly predicted the names amongst today’s bonus but it was Stephen Ward who sneaked in front of David Edwards to earn the two bonus points. Ward’s return of 30 PPI points was enough to see off Edwards who recorded 27, while Jamie O’Hara was a clear front runner here, amassing no less than 55 PPI points with a goal and two assists to his name. Kevin Doyle and Stephen Hunt also put in impressive PPI scores, with Ben Watson Wigan’s best performer on the day.

Bolton 5 Stoke City 0

Klasnic 3, Ealges, Wheater 1

Ivan Klasnic returned to the Bolton lineup and recorded the top overall PPI score of the gameweek with a haul of 68. That was more than enough to see him hold off team-mate Chris Eagles for the maximum bonus points. We predicted that David Wheater would sneak in for a single bonus, courtesy of some decent defensive stats and his assist, and so it proved. Wheater held off the claims of Kevin Davies and Paul Robinson who also fetched storng PPI returns from the Reebok rout.

Fulham 1 Tottenham 3

Bale 3, Lennon 2, Adebayor 1

Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon provided the major attacking threat for Spurs and subsequently dominated the PPI scores in this match. Bale edged out his team-mate by just a single PPI point to fetch the maximum on offer, while Emmanuel Adebayor did enough to pick up the single point, surprisingly surpassing the PPI total of Brad Friedel, who kept Fulham at bay with a string of saves. Friedel recorded a PPI score of 20 with Adebayor amassing 26 to claim the single bonus.

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

        other than dzeko, rvp and silva none of the big players did anything though. i'm thinking big popular players like rooney, aguero (lampard has small ownership), VDV, suarez, nani (ish)

          Maybe. It's still 'only' around 20% though. I woulda thought most of the noobs woulda put put Rooney as (c). Heck, even Suarez with his massive ownership only got 2 points..

    Ade / Aguero / Sturridge

    Had 2 ideas so far...

    A - Nani - Drenthe
    Ade - RVP

    B - Aguero - RVP
    Ade - Bentner

    Any thoughts? 1 FT and its going to be a 4 point hit.

        Yeah I know... If I switch tonight I could go Nani - Walters / Ade - RVP but I think it might be better to wait until after the internationals and take the hit on the price rise.

        Drenthe is .3 cheaper than walters so will just keep an eye on rises.

    VDV, Silva, Bale, Sinclair (Reo-Coker)
    RVP, Dzeko, Agbonlahor

      Dzeko might not play next GW. so bendtner ? because agbon has awful fixtures and you'd rather have formica over reo cocker.. has brilliant fixtures coming up . sinclair->drenthe too with DGW around the corner.

            Rules state you have to be the last player from the scoring side to touch the ball before the scorer. Anyone who thinks its clear Gervinho didnt touch it is a liar or a moron.

          The ball definitely took a deflection, just couldn't see who it was off. Surely they must be conclusive evidence that it was off gervinho otherwise it must stay with rvp.

    59 after the disappearing RVP assist, up to 128k. Glad I stuck with Bale + RVP through thick and thin, both looking good now! Only had 8 starters lol with Sinclair subbing on for the point. Only had the one tranny last week with yellow and red flags galore, just glad I didn't waste it on the guaranteed starter that is Evans lol 🙂

    So two trannies for this week, Saurez needs to go as does Bos both useless. Thinking it's time to get Dzeko, rotation risk but with Naylor/Simpson first sub it can be covered. His value can't be ignored any longer. The cash freed up permits Bos>Baines too? Madness??!!!

      I hear you and I am of the same mentality if say, you were transferring out a fit and healthy Rooney or Nani. But if you are shipping out a suspended player like Larsson or dead wood player like Metrov or Bosingwa I can see why people do it. Hell, I’ve even done it for once.

      I’ve rolled the dice.. And now I’m off to go and run around the field now with some fellow goats.

      Pretty mediocre again to be honest... it worries me greatly. Had maybe only 1 or 2 semi-chances. Torres should have put him through for a tap-in near the end, but sent him too wide. If it wasn't for his bargain price, he would be on the way out for me, but I'm going to keep for the Wolves(h) game at least.
