Welcome back to another bonus point + DEFCON round up after last night’s OPTA update:
👉🏻Gabriel failed to hit DEFCON
👉🏻Declan Rice has kept his DEFCON
It was a tight race for 2 bonus but Bukayo Saka gained two important passes in the update.
This took him precisely to the 30 pass threshold at 80%+ accuracy (+4bps), steering him well clear of Trossard in the end.
Trossard actually had one of the best bps showings all season for just 1 assist!
He created 2 big chances (+6bps), hit the 90% pass threshold (+6bps), completed 6 successful dribbles (+6bps) and had 2 shots on target (+4bps) amongst a few other things - with only 2 minimal negative bps actions.
👉🏻We did however have no bonus changes in the Arsenal game.
A couple of important DC changes occurred in the Brighton game:
👉🏻Van Hecke hit DEFCON
👉🏻Thiaw lost his DEFCON
👉🏻Bruno Guimaraes gained 1 DC in the update and unluckily finished 1 away from DEFCON.
👉🏻Despite all this, no bonus point changes occurred.
Jack Hinshelwood actually missed 2 big chances in the game (-6bps). These misses proved quite costly, he would have taken home all 3 bonus if not!
👉🏻No bonus point changes occurred in the Sunderland game, despite some close standings!
Nordi Mukiele was simply two passes (successful or not) away from claiming all three bonus points. This would have seen him hit the 80% pass threshold (+4bps) and overtake Xhaka.
Now the Brentford game updated in time for FPL so let’s quickly run through any changes:
👉🏻Dango Ouattara failed to hit DEFCON, in fact he lost 1 DC down to 9.
Kelleher actually had one of his “saves inside the box” reclassified into a “save outside the box” (-1bps), effectively ending his minimal chances of a bonus increase.
Incidentally, if Lewis-Potter simply made two fewer passes then he would be below the pass threshold (-2bps) and Kelleher would have joined him on 2 bonus.
Igor Thiago ranked so low in the bonus due to the new penalty goal bps (12bps) implemented this season. If he scored this penalty last season then he’d have +12bps more and claim 1 bonus point.
👉🏻Ultimately, no bonus point changes occurred.
Not a lot of changes this time! But we do have a busy Sunday and Monday schedule so I’ll be back with another bonus point roundup after Sunday’s update!
See you all then!
