Penalty goal (4)

Top Performer: Ismaïla Sarr – continues to be Palace’s sparkplug.
On Penalties?: Mateta took the spot kick – worth keeping in mind for £5.5m bracket options.

Bonus Points Projection

Disclaimer: Data needed to calculate official BPS (key passes, pass completion %, errors, etc.) is missing from this match, so these are projections based on goal weightings:

  • 3ptsMateta (penalty goal)

  • 2ptsEkitike (early goal)

  • 1ptSarr (late equalizer)

Bonus-adjusted totals:

  • Mateta = 9

  • Ekitike = 8

  • Sarr = 8

Tactical & FPL Insights

Form Watch

  • Liverpool’s new signings Wirtz and Frimpong combined for 11 points and both looked involved.

  • Sarr looks nailed and dangerous—7 points without bonuses? That’ll do.

Minutes Management

  • Robertson, Mac Allister, and Kerkez all featured but didn’t play 90—could indicate rotation risk heading into GW1.

  • Endo and Elliott saw <60 mins. Jones and Szoboszlai seem to have the early edge.

GK Watch

Henderson edged Alisson by a point thanks to his 3-save threshold.

Final Thought

The Community Shield won’t count for FPL points—but it absolutely counts for form scouting. If you’re planning your GW1 punts or targeting early price risers, the data is all there. And don’t forget: bonus points don’t just reward the flashy—they reward the consistent.
