An important change this season is that field players can now get two bonmers depending on the number of defensive actions they make in one match.
FPL regulators are now also receiving double -level chips – two free rods, two wild cards, two bench extensions and two three chiefs.
And managers will have their own free move to five transfer before the African Cup of Nations in January.
To: The two -point return is similar to three -step support, so picking up reliable and good minutes, especially in the middle with central operators, has become more profitable.
We will also need to think about our different bench players. Players are more likely to accumulate these two in a strong match. So is Everton’s James Tarkowski (£ 5.5m) away from Chelsea as a bad example as before? Maybe it’s not.
Holly: Defensive contributions provide additional use for the middle backs and we can see the rise of managers deciding to play 4-4-2 or 4-3-3.
When it comes to central operators, FPL managers should embrace the value offered by central defenders such as Moises Caicedo (£ 5.5m) and Carlos Baleba (£ 5m) for their fourth or fifth ads.
Statman: You must remember that these defensive contribution numbers are only in place if you have taken the player every single game through the season.
For example, with Tarkowski, you must review the games against Liverpool and Manchester City, those games that Everton are not fun, get those scores – so you will have to balance it in terms of opposition and if you think they will do defensive actions.
One team that I am very happy with defensive contributions is Tottenham under Thomas Frank, because numbers should shoot for several of their players and have many £ 4.5m defenders.
In the central field, one player who stands completely is Bruno Fernandes. He would get 22 extra points last season.
The start of the season is rubbish for Manchester United but he is a man who makes a lot of ball recovery, making a lot of dynamics for his position.
Heisenberg: FPL law significantly changes game changes.
Two sets of chips are an interesting change. We will see the largest variety in the use of the chip in the first half of the season, with no two games around.
Fifth free transfer to Afcon is a change of law I’m not a fan of. Planning well used to make a profit, now everyone is removed free of charge. However, I plan to add this free transfer by being close to the wild card and I will not use it in the absence of fire from my squad.
