How Do FPL Bonus Points Work?

At the end of each Premier League fixture, bonus points (1–3) are awarded to the three players with the highest BPS (Bonus Points System) scores in that match. The BPS algorithm tracks goals, assists, key passes, successful dribbles, clearances, and saves — each action weighted differently by position.

The highest BPS scorer earns 3 bonus points, second earns 2, and third earns 1. Ties are broken by the higher BPS total; if still tied, both players receive the same bonus points.

Bonus points are provisionally applied mid-gameweek and can change as match statistics are finalised, sometimes causing significant live rank swings in the hours after matches end.
