Welcome back to possibly the last bonus point + DEFCON round up of the season! 👉🏻Bruno Fernandes remains on 1 bonus point. But why did he rank lower than Cunha despite creating 8 chances? Bruno actually accumulated 4bps more than Cunha in the game. But he also had more negative actions: Bruno was tackled 5 times (-5bps), had 2 shots off target (-2bps) and also made an error which led to a shot (-1bps) = -8bps total. Cunha was tackled just twice (-2bps) and committed one foul (-1bps) = -3bps total. 👉🏻The United game actually updated in time for FPL and we had no bonus or DEFCON changes. Dewsbury-Hall came agonisingly close to bonus, despite no attacking returns. KDH had one of his dispossessions removed in the update (+1bps), but still landed just 2bps short. He had a great game nonetheless: • Hit the max pass threshold (+6bps) • Created 3 chances, including one big chance (+6bps total) • Fouled 3 times (+3bps) • Completed 3 successful crosses and 2 successful dribbles (+5bps total) All of this alongside a couple of other actions! 👉🏻Ultimately we had no bonus or DEFCON changes in the Everton game 👉🏻Van Hecke failed to hit DEFCON. 👉🏻Gross kept his bonus point. Gross actually lost a valuable CBI point (-1bps) whilst Bijol gained 3 valuable CBI points (+2bps). This would have taken him into the bonus and above Gross! However Gross had one of his 4 chances created deemed a ‘big chance’ (+3bps), and thus comfortably providing a cushion for bonus. Incidentally, Karl Darlow hit a whopping 40bps in this game: The 4 saves he made inside the box alone (out of 7) earned him +12bps! The same bps value as a defender scoring! 👉🏻Thiaw failed to hit DEFCON. 👉🏻Bruno G kept his DEFCON (actually gained 1DC). 👉🏻Bowen gained 1DC and ended on 10. Little shout out to Nick Pope, who made 6 saves inside the box (+18bps) - the same bps reward as a midfielder goal! He didn’t manage bonus but was admirably close despite conceding. 👉🏻No bonus point changes occurred in the Newcastle game. 👉🏻Both Krejci and Santiago Bueno lost their DEFCON in the update. Bueno actually lost 2DC, down from 11 to 9! Castagne nearly crept into bonus. He initially had an “error leading to a shot” (-1bps), but this was removed in the update and so subsequently missed bonus by just 1bps. 👉🏻No bonus point changes occurred in the Fulham game. Ismaila Sarr had a poor showing in the bps and a way off bonus despite scoring. This is largely due to this season’s lower bps award for penalty goals (+12bps). If Sarr scored the penalty last season, he would have ended up with 1 bonus point here. 👉🏻No bonus point or DEFCON changes occurred in the Brentford game. Nothing much to report today sadly but I hope the detailed breakdowns offer some useful insight! I hope this roundup series has been enjoyable to read this season and I very much look forward to posting every week next year! Hopefully we see a final deadline time adjustment to go with it!! 🤞🏻 Thanks for reading 😊 #FPL
