    An absolute bps rollercoaster if I've ever seen one

    Quadruple talks less than 24 hours ago to City being potential Champions next Sunday, that was quick!

    65-8 points with 15 to go. No great, not terrible.

        He knows

      That's great! I'm on 60 with 15 to go

    7. teneighty

      59 with 15 to go. Really happy so far.

    8. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Didn’t want to come off as a knob. 57/15 = 3,8 ppp which isn’t bad but I was hoping for more. Barely moved on OR.

      1 year, 10 months ago

      58 with 11 to go on FH. Would have +8 more if I had chosen Laporte instead of Dias. Seems like FH36 is roughly on par with BB36.

      My GW35 team is on 28. Cancelo only one with returns and Chelsea had some 1 pointers.

    Solid outing for KDB(c)

  6. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Pep rested KDB at the Bernabeu to play 90 minutes there...

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      What about Mahrez?

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Just Pepping 😆

        Key vs Wolves' low block!

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Didn't exactly exert himself though

  7. Salan
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Only an assist and got yellow card in a CS match. KDB still has 2 bps.

    It's something wrong in this bps system.

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      You can get a yellow and still amass 2nd most points in the match. Yellow is only -4 bps i believe

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I wasn't even watching the game and all I could see on BBC and here were mentions of KDB setting up chances

    3. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      It seems harsh for him to be punished for everyone wasting the chances he creates. Seems fair to me to be rewarded via bps

    4. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Chances created lots of baps

    5. SouthCoastSaint
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Did you watch the game?

      How many bonus did he get purely from a million short passes.

      Easy man of the match

  8. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    24 points all out for the first half of the DGW. Can't get much worse so roll on the rest of this s***show.

    RIP non-City owners

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Everyone has cancelo and the players who haul’s big have tiny ownership, really not a big deal

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Dias owner here whoooohoooo

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

    2. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yeah. I did 16 points to 0 points for a hit.

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Haha! That’s impressive! Nightmare mate but Sterling had to go

  11. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    What happened to zinc he was on 36 bps then it was removed?

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      The assist was removed

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        It wasn’t legit ?

        1. Well you know, Triffic
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          It'll be readded

        2. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Should come back again I guess. He had the penultimate touch for sure

        3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          BBC said it was a shot going wide that Foden put in, not sure on FPL rules would have thought it was still an assist?

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            Yep. Re-added now

  12. JJO
    • 11 Years

    Haha what a robery this 2baps for KDB is 🙂

  13. Andy_Social
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    3 point lead, +4 better GD. Title really is City's now.

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      A 2-goal loss and Liverpool 2-goal win means it can still change hands

      1. Van der Faart
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Dont see City losing, let alone by 2 goals tbh.

        1. R.C
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          They'll lose v West Ham though

          1. Van der Faart
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            1 year, 10 months ago

            They definitely won't

  14. R.C
    • 6 Years

    107 points with 12 players left to play

    1. Scots Gooner

      Not bad

      Wow, 107 points is an incredible score mate. You must be chuffed

      Great score

  15. Rainer

    Well done Zinchenko punters!

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Biggest props to Sterling holders. Couldn't face it myself after the last 2 weeks.

  16. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Pep is the devil. Sterling to Mahrez(-4). Still 61(-4) not to bad.

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      It costs 20 f pts

  17. Well you know, Triffic
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Does Mahrez even start the next game?

    Sterling will keep his place
    Foden will come back in
    Bilva may return?

    1. R.C
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He'll bench KDB

      1. Shineonme
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        No chance

    2. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Rodri
      KDB Bernardo
      Mahrez Foden Sterling

      3rd attacker hard to call.

    3. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Who knows with Pep. He should start, but who knows!

  18. Weilong7

    Zink assist is back..

    1. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      kdb 1 bonus

  19. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    What's the story with BPS?

    Zinch was on 23bps before they added the assist. An assist is 9bps.
    23+9=32 yet they've give him 36bps.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Big chance?

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He did other things like complete passes, clear balls etc

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        No. The assist was added but at full time was removed for some reason. His bps score was 23 at full time as I checked. They add the assist back and now he is on 36bps. Should only be 32

    3. gooberman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Came here to post exactly the same. Just beyond annoying. Its cost my team 3pts!

  20. Dynamic Duos
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Did say Sterling was a great (c) pick

    1. ThisTimeNxtYrRodney
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      My first good captain choice for a few weeks. This baps calculation is crazy. Laporte scores a goal, keeps a cleanie but KDB (who has a yellow as well) is in front of him in the baps.
      If this is how it ends up it needs looking at.

  21. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    such a crazy team city...Cancelo CS and assist no bap, laporte CS and goal no bap
    not complaining, no I am!

  22. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Kdb bonus in the bin again

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Booo

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      5-0 with a single corner assist and a kung fu tackle on ASM!

      1. Vlad Tepes
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        you forgot to mention all the passes, created some big chances mate.

    I didn't know what to do with my 2nd Free transfer. So just did mendy to ederson. Paid off

    1. Steve The Spud

      Thanks for informing us

  24. putana

    kdb down to 1 bp. zinchenko assist added

  25. jackruet
    • 2 Years

    This bps system is ridiculous..

  26. Weilong7
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Actually I wonder how rodri get so many bps points

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years

      When DMs score they always do well.

    Happy that my Pickford pick covered KDB

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      …without a cleanie too

  29. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Hopfeully Sterling is back on the bench vs Wolves. Where he belongs.

  30. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    How does Laporte score a goal and get a cleanie yet end up with 0 baps

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He missed a huge chance early on in the game

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      He got 33. Quite a lot. Pretty close to the bonus point zone, especially considering the number of goals

    3. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Sterling 2.
      Zinchenko CS, assist & chances.
      KDB BAP beast.

      Laporte missed a big chance from a KDB corner early on, that cost him.

    4. putana
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      kdb has to be given bps for some reason. An assist in a 5-0 win and is a head of two defenders with attacking returns

      1. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Corrupt system

      2. El Presidente
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Plus a yellow card!!! If it wasn't for that he would be even higher.

    5. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Not sure if you noticed but there were 5 goals

    6. Fintroy
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      because irresepective of what KDB does in a game he get baps (1 assist and a yellow in a 5-0 win) - pathetic.....
