GW28 Nothing but Bonus Points!!

Whilst hat-tricks for Luis Suarez and Shinji Kagawa saw the pair inevitably gain the full trio of extras, there were – as ever – some interesting bonus points doled out across another packed Fantasy Premier League weekend.

Four Chelsea players managed to pick up extras following their 1-0 victory over West Brom at Stamford Bridge, with the Brazilian midfielder Oscar a somewhat surprising recipient of three bonus points despite a failure to register either a goal or an assist.

Oscar’s compatriot Philippe Coutinho (who looks a steal at £6.5m) picked up his first ever FPL bonus point thanks to his two assists in Liverpool’s 4-0 win at Wigan, whilst West Ham’s injury-hit Jack Collison picked up all three thanks to his winning goal for the Hammers at Stoke.

The debate still rages over whether or not Gareth Bale should have been awarded an own goal after he deflected in Per Mertesacker’s flick in Spurs’ win over Arsenal, but the in-form Welshman survived without any points penalty awarded, and with the goal awarded to Mertesacker the big German gained a bonus point from it too.
