Bonus point system (BPS) is a key part of FPL and it awards points for specific in-game actions which determine a player’s performance rank.
Players that excel at the Bonus points system attract more bonus points with a higher frequency.
Trent Alexander-Arnold has been one of the standout FPL assets this season with 2 goals, 8 assists and 9 clean sheets to his name.
He is ranked 1st among all players for Bonus Points (27) this season and ranks 2nd after Salah in the Bonus points system (BPS).

Clean sheets are one of the most important BPS metrics for any defender. All Defenders are awarded 12 BPS for every clean sheet that they keep.
Trent is ranked joint 2nd among all defenders this season having kept 9 clean sheets in 16 matches.
Recoveries:
Ball Recovery is an event in which a player gains possession after control of the ball has been lost by the opposition.
Each player is awarded 1 BPS for every 3 recoveries he makes. Trent is joint-1st for total ball recoveries (120) among all defenders this season.

Man City is a team that interests all of us but with the possibility of winning title in the first match against CHE, there could be some heavy rotation in 2nd game.
Here are our top 3 picks who have a decent chance of starting both games:
1. Mahrez
Mahrez has had 4 consecutive starts in last 4 matches in the Premier League and looks the most likely to start both games in the double as his direct counterpart Bernardo has been more favored in the Champions League and also started in the last game against Madrid.
Haaland is obviously the standout captaincy pick this GW, he has a DGW with decent fixtures and his ownership will be massive, not to mention the fact that he already has 36 PL goals this season.
However, one could argue that City will rotate heavily in the Brighton game (assuming they win the league vs Chelsea) and even Haaland could be at risk for a benching there. Now, Haaland could of course score a hattrick in the first game and end up starting the second anyway…
Fantasypaedia contributor @FPL_Architect is back with his weekly thread!
In this thread, he will be focusing on some single gameweek players who have a hight ceiling and can outscore players with double fixtures in Gameweek 36.
It’s always difficult to guess Pep Guardiola’s starting XI, but with Riyad Mahrez having started 3 PL games in a row before being benched in the UCL, it’s reasonable to assume that he comes back in vs Everton.
With only 3 GWs left it’s time to start taking risks, and if Mahrez ends up starting he’s a differential with an extremely high points ceiling. The fixture is decent, and Mahrez has 4 assists in his last 3 PL games as well as 3 double digit hauls in his last 11 starts.
