<h2 class="post-heading">The New Bonus Point System on FPL 2013-14</h2>

Players score BPS points based on the following statistics (one point for each unless otherwise stated):

• Playing in a match
• Playing over 60 minutes
• Scoring goals
• Goalkeepers and defenders (4 points)
• Midfielders (6 points)
• Fowards (8 points)
• Assists (3 points)
• Goalkeepers and defenders keeping a clean sheet (4 points)
• Saving a penalty (5 points)
• For every 3 saves
• For every 3 open play crosses
• Creating a big chance (a chance where the receiving player should score)
• For every 8 clearances, blocks and interceptions (total)
• For every 8 recoveries
• Providing key passes
• Making 3 tackles
• Scoring the goal that wins a match
• Pass Completion (after making at least 30 passes)
• 70% completion (1 point)
• 80% completion (2 points)
• 90% completion (3 points)

Players lose BPS points based on the following statistics (one point for each unless otherwise stated):

• Conceding a penalty
• Missing a penalty (-2 points)
• For every 2 goals conceded by goalkeepers and defenders
• Yellow cards
• Red cards (-3 points)
• Own goals (-2 points)
• Missing a big chance
• Making an error which leads to a goal
• Every 2 errors leading to an attempt at goal
• Being tackled 3 times
• Conceding 2 fouls
• Being caught offside 3 times
• Missing the target with 3 shots

So, the total points is calculated as per the above mentioned statistics and the bonus points are distributed.

3 points will be awarded to the highest scoring player, 2 to the second best and 1 to the third.

BUT:

• If there is a tie for first place, Players 1 & 2 will receive 3 points each and 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.

PLEASE NOTE: The above statistics is just for the distribution of Bonus Points among the top performers. They are not the rules for actual FPL points!
