GW8 FPL: Bonus Points Breakdown - Saturday

Gameweek 8 of the Premier League has delivered some cracking matches, and for us FPL managers, it means diving into the bonus point system. Saturday saw a flurry of goals, assists, and clean sheets, and it's time to see who came out on top.

The Big Winners:

• Erling Haaland (Man City): He did it again! Haaland bagged a brace against Wolves, adding a clean sheet and a bonus point for winning the bonus points system. It's almost becoming a weekly ritual with this guy.
• Martin Ødegaard (Arsenal): The Arsenal captain continues to impress. A goal, an assist, and a clean sheet against Brentford got him a hefty bonus points haul.
• Harry Kane (Tottenham): The England captain was back to his best against Brighton. A hat-trick and a clean sheet made him a popular pick amongst FPL managers this weekend.

The Disappointments:

• Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): Salah had a quiet game against Brighton, failing to score or assist. He did get a bonus point for his goal, but a less-than-stellar performance overall.
• Kevin De Bruyne (Man City): He was a captain's armband nightmare. De Bruyne had a fairly average performance against Wolves. He did assist Haaland's second goal but didn't score himself.
• Bukayo Saka (Arsenal): Saka blanked against Brentford, and his lack of attacking output resulted in zero bonus points.

What's Next:

• The rest of GW8: We've got a few more matches to analyze, so we'll be updating this article as the week goes on.
