I've done some analysis of the BP's from GW1 so far

Goalkeepers - 6 pts
Defenders - 29 pts
Midfielders - 15 pts
Forwards - 17 pts

Interesting stuff I think and shows that perhaps the cheapo defence may not be the best option this year. Also from the defenders, only 2 of those that got BPs - Shaw and Coleman with 3 BPs each contributed goals/assists.

Early days but it is interesting, and it seems that we dont need to wait for 0-0 draws or goals/assists like we did last season for BP's to go to defenders

Updated after tonights game

Goalkeepers - 6 pts
Defenders - 33 pts
Midfielders - 20 pts
Forwards - 17 pts

Forward (Augero) gets a goal and an assist and gets no BP's. 1 defender (Lescott) gets no goals or assists in a big 4-0 victory and comes joint second in the BPS.

Baffling system. I watched the whole game and fail to see what lescott did to deserve BPs! He probably had a lot of successful passes when the nearest newcaslte player was 40 yards away

Anyway we have to live with it. May have to look at getting defenders from big clubs in...

These bonus points are an absolute farce. What a joke to give Lescott 2 and Aguero 0

It's a real game changer, i had the cheapo defence lined up and now i don't know what to do. Baps for terry, zab, lescott, cole, cahill, dawson, vertonghen all in relatively handy wins.

I think my favoured formation this season will be 4-3-3. Certainly shakes things up.

Wildcard gw3. Everything is pointing to it. Need to react to this massive change in the game.

Im thinking the exact same.

Have you a split of the bonus points between games where there was a clean sheet and games where there wasn't?

In other words, what's the difference in the distribution of bonus points between games where a team keeps a clean sheet and games where they don't?

Lot of clean sheets this weekend.

Good post. So can we conclude the CS is the crucial factor in BP for def?

What is the reason Ivan didn't get BP wheras cole and terry did? I suppose there is no way of predicting which defender from a given club will get BP's in a CS game...

Its pretty easy to split it yourself you know :rolleyes:

But sure anyway

Defender BPs

Games with clean sheet and no goal/assist - 22
Games with clean sheet but with goal/assist - 4
Games with no clean sheet and no goal/assist - 1
Games with no clean sheet but with goal/assist - 4

So yes clean sheets are important. However the big change from last year is that last year when a game finished 1-0, 2-0 a defender would be lucky to get any BPs unless they goaled/assisted. This year however they are scoring very heavy in these games even if they havent scored or get an assist

The average goals per game in the premiership last season was the highest it has been for a long time. There were a lot of clean sheets this week, but it won't continue at this rate for the season. 1 gameweek is too small a sample.

Amirani

This seems to be a serious problem. Bonus points at present for Chelsea defenders who have no clean sheet and not much contribution to the game other than knocking it about between themselves.

I've no problem with them making the system a bit more even across the pitch but this seems silly, impossible to predict.

The new system is a pile of poo
