FPL Dugout Guide
Fantasy Football Scoring Systems
Scoring rules drive every recommendation. A player who is elite in classic FPL can be average in a custom league that weights defensive contributions or removes bonus points.
Core Scoring Categories
- Goals and assists — almost universal, weighted by position.
- Clean sheets and goals conceded — defensive scoring backbone.
- Bonus points and bonus point system metrics.
- Defensive actions: tackles, interceptions, recoveries.
- Cards, penalty saves, own goals — negative scoring.
Why Custom Scoring Changes Recommendations
FPL Dugout lets you override key scoring rules so recommendations reflect your actual league. A defender weighted heavily on tackles becomes more valuable than a clean-sheet specialist in some custom systems.
