Fireball07 Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Cool, I just used my username from here, it did me well in the euros fantasy football :-) Pogrebynak got a goal, yay :-)Had him on the bench :(But I had Torres as captain so that's good.What's not good is the fact I picked Mata over Hazard...and Hazard's got 5 assists already. And does someone want to explain how the bonus points are working this season? I thought it was the usual 3, 2, 1 for the 3 best players on the pitch but for example from the Sunderland-Arsenal game, McClean got 3 points and 3 different Arsenal players got 2 points. That has to be wrong. McClean had a shit game anyway, and players like Cazorla, Cuellar, Richardson, Cattermole, Arteta, Gervinho who actually played well got nothing.And a quick glance shows 4 Newcastle players got bonus points too. I don't like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasick Drake Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 This is what it has to say about bonus points... Bonus PointsThe three best performing players in each match according to the EA SPORTS Player Performance Index will receive additional bonus points. 3 points will be awarded to the highest scoring player, 2 to the second best and 1 to the third.Bonus points will be awarded on the Monday morning after the weekend matches are played. Any matches played on a weekday night will be awarded on the following morning.Examples of how bonus point ties will be resolved are as follows: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.

baxus Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 arsenal vs sunderland bonus points:McClean (SUN) got 3 pointsVermaelen, Jenkinson and Diaby (ARS) got 2 points eachit's clear as day, what's not to understand?arsenal players were tied for second place, there was 3 of them so all of them got 2 points.since the next best ranked player would be ranked #5 no player got 1 point.the same goes for newcastle vs tottenhamBen Arfa and Ba got 3 points, so Simpson and Gutierrez were tied for third and won 1 point each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Jenkinson over Cazorla? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcibiades Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I don't really get the new bonus system. The old one was completely arbitrary because they were alloted by the Press Association. However, I actually found the old system pretty predictable. Bonus went to goal scorers and certain players who were bonus magnets such as Lampard, Gerrard, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Jenkinson over Cazorla?can't say i understand how those performance points are calculated.most probably it's some system similar to the one used for basketball.that one takes into account what you did right (rebounds, assists, points, etc) but also things you did wrong (low field goal percentage, turnovers etc.) would reduce your performance index.

Alcibiades Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'm off to a solid start this season. It's far better than last year when I didn't have Rooney while he banged in hat tricks the first few games. I feel like everyone's teams are already homogenizing around Tevez/Michu/RVP or some variant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
