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.

      With Evans Ferdinand Fabio and Rafael now coming back from injury he's going to be a rotation threat but his ability to play CB and RB is making him start at the moment. I hope it continues and I got him in this week but there's always that chance he could be rested.

    there was clear doubt over RVP's assist from everyone who saw it live on their "perfectly legal" streams, it had to swing one way or the other and this time it swung gervinho's way. let's be honest if it went the other way (rvp nicking an assist of gervinho) the reaction would be very different

    Advice on who I should be wanting to ship out first at the moment, I had two free transfers for the new gameweek but have already shipped out Boswinga before he drops in price so only have one transfer now and want to get rid of these -

    Petrov (Completely rubbish)
    Nasri (Doesn't seem to be able to get a game)
    Krul/Vorm (Both seem to have difficult fixtures coming up?)

    Which would you deal with first, and would you take a hit to get rid of more than 1?

    People complaining about the FPL rules...

    "All assists are reviewed before the points are updated at the end of each day.”

    This rule was NOT broken. It says they review it before points are updated each day. It doesn't say they can't do this more than once.

    They reviewed it once. They then realised it was still wrong... They reviewed it again. Where (in the rules) does it say they can't review it again? NOWHERE!

    They got the RIGHT decision. As long as it is reviewed before the KO of the next GW, imo, it is fine to re-review with the goal of being correct.

    And yes I have RVP (C) too but I can't stand people moaning for the sake of moaning.

                I agree that the ruling is not clear. From FPL's point of view, they do review assists on the day they are rewarded but, when an issue needs closer examination, it takes longer and can take up to the end of the gameweek eg: when bonus points are awarded.

                The view is that it's better to get the right decision later than to make a quick decision and incorrectly award points - that makes sense.

                We've asked to get further clarity on the review times in a gameweek added to the rules.

        There's varying frustrating elements to this, but fundamentally as that Bubbles chap said, RVP definitely touched the ball whereas with Gervinho it's not conclusive. If they're not sure, then either leave it with RVP or don't distribute an assist at all.

        If Gervinho had been the one in RVP's ''concrete'' position and they had left the assist with Gervinho then I don't think there would be any complaints. To give an assist on a whim and take it away from someone who definitely touched the ball seems ridiculous.

            Yep, and as I've posted previously, Opta awarded it to Gervinho, so that's two data providers who judge these calls making that same decision.

          I wonder if there is additional footage that we haven't seen that confirms the touch.

      I think we should review pedro mendes goal at old trafford a few years back. The points should def be awarded regardless of what was said at the time.

        Any chance that Roy Carrol save against Man Utd can be reviewed as well. Could have sworn it crossed the line. 😉

          Well they can review that Roy Carroll save if they want but here is the evidence it wasn't over the line

        like i said IMO a reasonable window for review is before the start of the next GW.

      I have RVP (C) too and am sad to lose 8 points, but sad, not mad. Because it's not an injustice, it's the truth that Gervinho touched the ball and hence it's his assist by the rules, which are applied consistently and hence don't bias anyone in particular. Being mad about it is to have a disregard for the truth. It's like being mad you didn't get a penalty for diving, which is totally unreasonable and never happens in football... oh wait...

        Also, the argument that you shouldn't change the result of games doesn't apply here. The result of the game isn't being changed. The result of a game scored on facts about a game is being changed, and the facts have become a lot clearer given actual time to analyze them.

          Exactly, and it wasn't a referee's decision or anything so nobody is being undermined by it changing. .. People are just striving for correctness.

          If they never reviewed anything it would be pretty sh1t

        exactly. But people always do this. People act like spoilt children sometimes thinking everything should go their way or it's an injustice. In my case, I'm pretty happy I had rvp captain whether he got 22 points or 30. Still a good score and he's not the player in my team to be worrying about!

    Which of these players are most deserving to be dropped? And who should i replace them with?

    a) S Ward - 6 points from 7 weeks before this
    b) Petrov - big nose fails again
    c) Sturridge - helping defenders keep clean sheets everywhere...
