Bonus Points System

Bonus points are an important part of the FPL scoring system.

They are created and distributed after each match using a Bonus Points System (BPS).

To build a performance score for each player, the BPS uses a variety of statistics provided by Opta that capture actions on the field.

Bonus points are awarded to the players with the highest three BPS in a match: three points to the highest-scoring player, two points to the second-best player, and one point to the third-best player.

Ties for bonus points are broken as follows:

- In the event of a tie for first place, Players 1 and 2 will each earn 3 points, while Player 3 will receive 1 point.

- If there is a tie for second place, Player 1 will receive 3 points and Players 2 and 3 will receive 2 points each.
- If there is a tie for third place, Player 1 will receive 3 points, Player 2 will receive 2 points and Players 3 & 4 will receive 1 point each.
 Players earn BPS points based on the following statistics (one point for each unless otherwise stated):
