Click here to see a full breakdown of exactly how Fantasy Premier League points are awarded.
Fantasy Premier League points are awarded using a designated system which rewards players for goals, assists, clean sheets etc.
But Strikers and Wingers are more likely to score more than Defenders?
FPL has created a balanced system where Defenders not only get awarded more points if they score, but also receive points if they keep a clean sheet. This maintains a nice balance between Goalkeeper, Defender, Midfielder and Forward scoring.
