In Fantasy Premier League, your players are going to receive FPL points for scoring, assisting and getting clean sheets among other things. But that's not where the scoring ends.
Usefully, the Premier League also gives bonus points (BPS) to players. Got a player who didn't get the final goal or assist but should be recognised? Fear not. Three points get awarded to the best player in the game, two to the second-best player and one to the third-best player.
