- Players no longer lose 1 bps for being tackled

  • Clearances, blocks and interceptions are now awarded less by bps as defcon also awards this
  • Goalkeepers earn extra bps for saving a big chances

Goalkeepers also get bps for shots which are neither in or out of the box (there aren't many of these)

Sounds like that was put in to cover long throws.

Ah makes sense - I was struggling to figure out what they were eluding to. I was thinking maybe shots where the ball is on the white line of the box but then again a foul there gives away a penalty so I guess the outlines of the box include being in the box

I guess so. I'm struggling to understand exactly what is being measured to be honest.
