Bonus Points so far...

Midfielders have been dominating the bonus points so far this season. Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas is leading the table with 15 points, closely followed by Bolton's Ivan Campo and Newcastle's captain Scott Parker with 14 points apiece. Bonus points are awarded to the best three players in the match. So this table is a note of the form of the players in the recent games.





Cesc Fabregas


Fabregas have been in excellent form this season, claiming bonus points in 7 out of 9 games so far this season. He tops the bonus points table with 15 points with a game less than the others due to the postponded Wigan fixture of Arsenal. He also tops the assists list along with Saha of Manchester United. His failure to score goals is the reason why he is not in the top 5 of the midfielders table.





Due to his fine form, he can score points for your team without scoring a goal or giving an assist. Being the central figure in Arsenal's attacks, his automatic selection to the first team if he is fit and the fine form of Arsenal are the reasons why he is in large number of teams in Fantasy Premier League.

John Terry

John Terry is the best defender in English Premier League and the most expensive defender in Fantasy Premier League costing 8.3 million at present. But he is the most popular player among Fantasy Premier League managers with 51% of the managers having Terry in their team. It is because chelsea doesn't concede much and he is capable of scoring the goals too, usually with his head. He is the only chelsea defender who is sure to start if he is fit.

He is living upto his expectations of the Fantasy Premier League managers and sharing the top spot among defenders with Sol Campbell of Portsmouth, in the points table so far this season. He has scored a goal in the opening day and have 2 assists so far. He missed the game against local rivals Fulham due to back injury and played the full 90 minutes in all other games.

Since Petr Cech is out injured for atleast 6 months, the character of chelsea defence will be in doubt. But with the third-choice keeper Hilario in good form and saving a penalty last week, they were able to keep up the standards they have kept.

Now with chelsea visiting Tottenham this GameWeek, it would be a tough game for the chelsea defenders. Although Tottenham is no way near the form they had last season, they do have a good strike force and creative midfielders to demolish any defence in their day.

Back with a bang...

Wayne Rooney is back with a bang. He ended his goal-draught of 10 games with a hat-trick aganist Bolton Wanderers in the Reebok Stadium. Bolton were yet to concede a goal in Reebok Stadium in this season.

With three goals and the man of the match award, rooney scores an astonishing 17 points this GameWeek, thus becoming the first player to score a hat-trick in EPL this season. Also his 17 points is the highest scored by a striker in this season, followed by his own 16 points in GameWeek 1. It takes him to third in the list of strikers, even though he was unable to play in 3 matches due to suspension. He has got the highest ratio of 6.9 points-per-game in the strikers.

Forwards List



Points-per-game



With Manchester United firing in all cylinders, and costing 2.7 cheaper than Henry, Rooney would be a right man to be in the team.
