So Van Hecke finishes on 9 DEFCON…
I do think they may have missed one in the first half so we’ll see if he gets the bump in the update!
I’ll keep an eye on it tonight!
Gross currently on 1 bonus despite losing and Darlow with an 11 pointer (on most of our benches 😭)

@FPL_TomHadley Van hecke down as 7 points last night with his 1 bonus are you saying thats going to be removed?

Here’s a mini bonus point + DEFCON roundup after last night’s OPTA update:
👉🏻Van Hecke will lose his bonus point.
Van Hecke lost a valuable recovery point (-1bps).
In fact, Boscgali will also lose 1 bonus. He actually gained a foul won (+1bps) but crucially lost a successful tackle (-2bps) = 1bps loss.
This means just Danny Welbeck is the only player leaving the game with 1 bonus point.
Why does he get bonus for playing just 10 minutes?
Scoring a goal for a striker is the highest possible bps award (+24bps). Add that to his subsequent shot on target (+2bps) and playing time under 60 mins (+3bps) = 29bps!
The bps system heavily favours midfielders and defenders. Strikers need that large bump when scoring as they have fewer avenues to gain bps. In fact, they often lose a lot of bps for chances missed but he didn’t play enough time to lose any.
👉🏻Mitoma and Caicedo both fail to hit DEFCON too sadly.
Sorry to be a bearer of bad news to Van Hecke owners, turns out a simple recovery was a deciding factor.
Tonight the OPTA changes will come too late to affect FPL so this is the last meaningful update until the weekend when we go again!
Thank you all for reading as always!
