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.

    The thing I don't understand is why do they leave the assist up when its under review. If an assist is being reviewed it should be taken down instead of leaving it up all weekend.

    I'm pissed off as I took an 8 pt hit to get RVP(c) in for this gameweek, my H2H opponent a) doesn't have him and b) had over 600 points before the GW started.

    A gamble actually paid off...

    Oh wait, by a single shitty index point, the BPs drop from 3 to 2 and I lose.

    Yes, I am butthurt.

        Already got Larsson, so rather just keep as I had him in from wk1, why have VDV when Bales scoring well and costs 2.0m less?

        I'm not a huge fan of the front line, but I feel I want some Chelsea and United coverage, could stick in Mata, but it means dropping dropping Sturridge for a 4.3 striker...

    Repeating an earlier comment because this needs to be clear....

    We never alerted FPL to any contentious assists. I was told on Saturday night via email from ISM that they had alerted PA to the RVP and Nani assists and that these could possibly be reviewed.

    I was passing this info to our visitors out of goodwill in our Scout Notes on Sunday morning to keep folk informed as much as possible – that’s what you want from us, right?

    Folk who want to twist this and suggest that we are encouraging decision changes out of vested interest are, quite frankly, bang out of order.

        I've no idea. Myself and FFS are not responsible for Granville's actions - that would be asking for trouble 😉

            hmmm really? The word 'outraged' suggests he wasn't happy with RVP being initially credited which is obviously wrong given his team and captaincy choice.

        Surely Granville can email them personally and not as a FFS contributor?.....if he wants*

        *no idea if any email was sent by Granville

      Mark, I think part of the confusion re the RVP assist came from a comment Granville made over the weekend that said he had contacted FPL about it and that to review it was 'only fair'. It was wrongly taken as meaning that FFS had alerted FPL to it, rather than simply contacted them to find out whether they were reviewing it or not. I think that's why some people put 2 +2 together to come up with 5.

        I never said I'd contacted them, but yes I did say in fairness we should. We didn't, it came from their end.
        FYI I'm also an RVP(c) owner and a Nani owner.

        It's my bad really, sorry for the confusion.

          this is what was said on Saturday...

          G-G-Granville says:

          We will ask them to look at it. It’s only fair.

          http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2011/11/05/the-knee-jerk-kept-guessing/comment-page-21/#comments

          ...it did look as though you were contacting them from this...but apology accepted...I for one never seriously thought that they were sitting at FPL towers bored, then suddenly the FFS Granville hotline rings, alarms sound and loads of FPL geeks head off to some video dungeon to analyse it. They'd have done it anyway.

          I know FFS are the good guys, people are just smarting about losing 8 pts and looking for a scapegoat 😉

      Maybe in future highlight the issue without using leading expressions like 'appears to have touched Gervinho' and 'looks like going to the Ivorian'? It was pretty clear which way FFS saw it and coupled with Granvilles comment, you can see why I, and others, are annoyed at the perception that it all gives.

        But that's how I saw it - so it wasn't clear to me. Folk really have got to stop guessing what goes on and making accusations.

        I had absolutely no contact with Granville at the weekend - we don't live together (shudder) and it's not like this site is produced from an office we share - I hadn't seen his comments and had no idea on his views on it. The first I saw it was MOTD on Sunday morning - I got up early to review all the action before writing the Scout Notes.

        At that point I wasn't sure. I knew that Opta had awareded it to Gervinho but they also review their stats 24 hours later so couldn't be sure. I knew ISM had asked for it to be reviewed but, before 7am on Sunday morning, I hadn't seen the goal. Therefore my account in Scout Notes is 100% honest.

        I really can't help folk just speculating about stuff but it really does annoy me when my personal integrity is called into question on my own site.

    My final comment on the RVP assist debacle (although the wailing is fun to be part of and observe) is that FFScout people (by which i mean us) bear quite a lot of responsibility for it. There appeared to be no doubt about it in other games (got in another league i play in) until a groundswell on sat evening that Gervinho touched it and that he would lose it. Since then nobody has seen video that shows it although we all think someone touched it probably. So they responded to the queries by doing what they thought the commenters/emailers wanted it but without any real proof. And then we get the counter reaction this morning. Loving this season with all the problems, massive scoring and controversy.

      Maybe but I think ISM spotted it without any push from support emails - they do an initial check on all the assists that PA report.
