How do midfielders score points in FPL?

Midfielders have several ways of scoring points in FPL 2024-25. The most rewarding way is through goals as midfielders will earn five points for every goal they score. That is why picking a goal-scoring midfielder is vital.

Assists are also key for midfielders in FPL as they score three FPL points for every assist they contribute. That is the same amount as any other position.

Midfielders are also rewarded if their team does not concede. Midfielders will earn one point for every clean sheet they earn.

Furthermore, they will score two points if they play more than 60 minutes (excluding added-time) and one point if they play up to 60 minutes.

The final way midfielders can score points is through the FPL bonus points system. According to the official FPL website, this is how bonus points are allocated: “They [bonus points] are devised and allocated post-match according to a Bonus Points System (BPS).

“The BPS utilises a range of statistics supplied by Opta that capture actions on the pitch, to create a performance score for every player.

“The players with the top three BPS in a given match receive bonus points – three points to the highest-scoring player, two to the second best and one to the third.”

Midfielders can also lose points if they receive a yellow or red card, if they miss a penalty or if they score an own goal.

Who was the most expensive FPL midfielder in 2023-24?

For the sixth consecutive year, Mohamed Salah was the most expensive midfielder in Fantasy Premier League last season.

In 2023-24, Salah was £2m more expensive than Kevin de Bruyne, who was the second most-expensive midfielder in FPL.

Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford was joint-third with Tottenham’s Heung-min Son. They were both priced at £9m in last season’s FPL.

Bruno Fernandes, Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were all £8.5m, while Diogo Jota and Gabriel Martinelli were both £8m.

There were six midfielders with a starting price of £7.5m: Phil Foden (Man City), Jack Grealish (Man City), Kai Havertz (Arsenal), Luis Diaz (Liverpool), James Maddison (Tottenham) and Riyad Mahrez (Man City).
