How Do Bonus Points Work?
Last updated: July 26, 20263 min read
The Bonus Points System (BPS) rewards players who deliver standout performances beyond just goals and assists. The top three performers in each match receive additional bonus points based on a comprehensive performance index.
How BPS Is Calculated
The BPS evaluates players across multiple performance metrics to determine the best performers in each match.
| Performance Tier | Bonus Points |
|---|---|
| 1st (Best performer) | +3 |
| 2nd | +2 |
| 3rd | +1 |
Good to Know
BPS takes into account over 30 different statistics, including passes completed, dribbles, tackles, and more. A player doesn't need to score a goal to earn bonus points.
Key BPS Factors
The BPS weights different actions differently. Here are the most impactful factors:
- Goals scored (especially important goals)
- Assists provided
- Pass completion rate
- Tackles and interceptions
- Chances created
- Clean sheets (for defenders and goalkeepers)
Frequently Asked Questions
Can two players tie for bonus points?
Yes. If players have an identical BPS score, they share the bonus points. For example, two players tied for first would both receive 3 points.
Can boosts stack in one Gameweek?
Yes. The boost API allows different boost types to stack on the same open Gameweek, but each type can only be used once per half of the season.
When are bonus points finalised?
Bonus points are finalised approximately one hour after the final match of the gameweek ends.
