GW8 FPL: Bonus Points From Saturday's Matches - Who Scored Big?
Gameweek 8 in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is done and dusted, and we're all eager to see who raked in the bonus points! Saturday's matches provided some thrilling action, and with it, a few key players stood out from the crowd. But who were the bonus point kings? Let's dive in and see!
The Bonus Point Breakdown
The bonus point system is a real head-scratcher sometimes. You think you've got a good haul, and then BAM! You get a measly one or two bonus points. It's all about clean sheets, goals, assists, and overall performance.
Let's take a look at some of the standout performers from Saturday:
1. Erling Haaland (Manchester City): This guy is a bonus point machine! He bagged a brace against **Wolves, adding an assist to his already impressive tally. It's safe to say he's a must-have in your team.
2. Kieran Tierney (Arsenal): Tierney had a solid game against **Leeds, scoring a goal and assisting on another. He's been a reliable source of points this season, and his bonus points are just a bonus!
3. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal): Saka's goal and assist against **Leeds helped Arsenal to a win, and he picked up some crucial bonus points.
4. Martin Ødegaard (Arsenal): Ødegaard's goal and assist against **Leeds made him a key contributor to Arsenal's success. It's good to see him getting back into the groove and rewarding his FPL managers.
5. Son Heung-min (Tottenham): Son didn't get any goals or assists against **Bournemouth, but he put in a solid performance and was rewarded with a few bonus points.
Don't Forget The Defenders!
While attackers steal the show, defenders can be goldmines for bonus points. Clean sheets are key, and a few tackles or interceptions can boost your score.
Here are a few defenders who impressed:
1. Gabriel Magalhaes (Arsenal): The Arsenal backline was solid, and Gabriel's clean sheet earned him some well-deserved bonus points.
2. William Saliba (Arsenal): Saliba was another star in Arsenal's backline, contributing to a clean sheet and picking up some bonus points.
3. Luke Shaw (Manchester United): Manchester United kept a clean sheet against **Everton, and Shaw was a key part of that defensive success, earning some bonus points.
