The distribution of bonuses by team this week is:

Even with a convincing win against Spurs, Man City was well short of their normal high standards for bonus points.  Liverpool picked up the most with a comfortable win. Both Arsenal and Man U tasted defeat on the pitch, but still excelled in bonus awards. 
The season awards are as follows:

<h3>Player watch </h3>
This week I’m going to look a bit more closely at Kenedy, who plays for Newcastle, who comes next Monday will be one of the few teams with five matches remaining. He has also appeared in my standard charts below: 
 <img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5101" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-10.54.09.png" alt="" width="661" height="416" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-10.54.09.png 661w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-10.54.09-300x189.png 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-10.54.09-610x384.png 610w" sizes="(max-width: 661px) 100vw, 661px" />
 
Kenedy doesn’t appear in the top 20 for total points or points/£m for midfielders. However, his points/£m/game places him ranked seventh for midfielders. 
He has started nine matches, scoring two goals with two assists. He has picked up one bonus award and a MotM.  
His underlying <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a> show he has scored 15.4% of the team goals (in matches he has played), though had 13.0% of the team’s expected goal (2 v 1.8). He has 15.4% of assists while creating 11.4% of expected (2 v 1.6).  He is scoring around expectation in both goals and assists.    
On the key metric of pts/£m/g is excellent at 0.69, which matches the gold standard 0.7.   
However, if we look at a break-down of his points per week we see: 
 
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5100" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-10.54.15.png" alt="" width="634" height="318" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-10.54.15.png 634w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-10.54.15-300x150.png 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-10.54.15-610x306.png 610w" sizes="(max-width: 634px) 100vw, 634px" /> 
 
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5099" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-10.54.23.png" alt="" width="640" height="368" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-10.54.23.png 640w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-10.54.23-300x173.png 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Screen-Shot-2018-04-18-at-10.54.23-610x351.png 610w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" />
Kenedy has scored at an impressive 0.69 pts/£m/g, though he has only played nine games during to only joining Newcastle on loan in January. He has a small sample size and points will be volatile due to points coming from goals and assists. The big pluses are he is only £6.9m, which frees up money to upgrade elsewhere. He plays in a single match game away to Everton (so can be captain in that match) will have five games to play (all other team will only have four matches remaining). Assuming he is on the team sheet I will be bringing him into my team for this match. 
<h3>My teams </h3>
My first team is saving its last transfer and limped on with Salah and Mane being the only bright spots in a low score of 51 points.  This resulted in a further drop down to 277th. 
The second team continues to outpace the first team with two Liverpool defensive players, with both Salah and Mane.  These players scored the bulk of my points which totalled 75 this week which moved the team up to 35th. 
The second half team has the flexibility of transfers so in many ways a slightly disappointing score of 77 points and remained in 17th place. 
<h3>Finally </h3>
A friend of mine is running his 20th consecutive London Marathon. During this time he has raised £56,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support. I would love it if anybody could tweet or post elsewhere in social media to try and make his 20th run his best fun-raiser yet.
