GW8 FPL Bonus Points: Who Earned Extras?
Gameweek 8 in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) was a wild one! Some managers got lucky with some unexpected bonus points, while others watched in dismay as their captain went scoreless. Let's dive into the bonus points awarded this week and see who snagged those extra points!
Who's Got That Bonus?
The big winner this week was Erling Haaland, who earned a whopping 3 bonus points for his goal, assist, and clean sheet. That's right, folks, you could have picked up a total of 13 points from the Norwegian goal machine! It's safe to say Haaland is a must-have for any serious FPL manager.
But there were other surprise winners too! Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka both picked up 2 bonus points each. Jesus's brace helped Arsenal secure a crucial win against Tottenham, while Saka's goal and assist against Liverpool kept the Gunners' title challenge alive.
Who Got Left Out?
While some players thrived, others were left empty-handed. Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne both went pointless in terms of bonus points despite stellar performances. This just goes to show that even the best players can get unlucky when it comes to bonus points.
How Do These Points Work, Anyway?
For those of you who are new to FPL, bonus points are awarded based on a player's performance in a specific match. The system considers goals scored, assists, clean sheets, tackles, and other factors. It's not always easy to predict who will get those bonus points, but it's definitely part of the fun of FPL!
What's Next?
Gameweek 8 is in the books, but there's still plenty of action left in the season. As we look ahead to the next few weeks, it's crucial to keep an eye on the bonus point potential of different players.
So keep your eye on those bonus points, folks! And remember, even a small number of bonus points can make a big difference in your overall FPL ranking.
