Let's face it, folks, Fantasy Premier League is all about the bragging rights. And what better way to flex on your mates than by racking up those precious bonus points? So, who were the lucky few who got that extra cash in Gameweek 8?
The usual suspects, the big guns, like Erling Haaland, always seem to be in the mix for those bonus points. And this week was no different. But there were a few surprise packages that popped up, too.
Haaland's Hat-Trick: Not Just a Goal Machine, But a Bonus Points King

De Bruyne's Assists: A Bonus Points Maestro
Kevin De Bruyne is like that friend who always knows how to make the party better. In this case, he's the maestro, orchestrating the attack and setting up Haaland for those glorious goals. He picked up 2 bonus points for his two assists, helping him to a pretty decent 13 points.
The Surprise Package: A Big Week For Martin Ødegaard
While Haaland and De Bruyne were busy crushing the competition, a certain Norwegian midfielder was busy putting in work of his own. Martin Ødegaard bagged a goal and an assist, earning him a whopping 2 bonus points. This is a bit of a surprise, as Ødegaard isn't usually known for his bonus point prowess.
