    I was looking over the bonus points and noticed that 7 players got bonus in the Wigan game, is this an error or is it possible because of the new system?

    Been impressed with Dzeko, Silva and Vorm.

    Dzeko in particular has lovely touch for a guy so big. If he scores and/or keeps up his starts, he could be a steal at 8.5.
