Pretty pleased with myself that I named Hazard captain now!! 
Was thinking the same thing myself , I suggest you email them asking what a player has to do to get a bonus point , 5 assists 1 point is shocking
I just picked Lampard ahead of Hazard, as he was .5m cheaper. Not entirely unhappy with my choice, as Lamps has plenty of points too(2 pens!), and will be pretty consistent. Torres got me some points as captain too, though he will not be next week since I made way for Rooney.
Bit of a mixed bag, after all the changes I made I probably came out OK:
-Originally had Hazard, then swapped him for Lampard, then finally decided I couldn't risk a Chelsea midfielder as had doubts if they would play both games so went for another Chelsea defender instead.
-Then brought in Terry at one stage but after some tweaking in other areas I needed the £0.5m so went for Ivanovic, which worked out well (was a really nice surprise when I saw him scoring the tapin last night!)
-Had been eyeing up Michu after a bit of research but it was one of the situations where I had 'too much' money if that makes sense, in terms of my midfield I've got a couple of cheaper options already at £5m and £5.5m so decided to splash out on the other three.
-One option I had considered for including Michu was replacing Kagawa and then upgrading Defoe to Podolski, sounds good in principle but that scenario would have meant Terry instead of Ivanovic due to spare cash so probably wouldn't have gained much.
-In the early days I did actually have Sinclair in the team but the rumours about him refusing to sign a new deal scared me off
-Original side had Agero but the Community shield convinced me to plump for Tevez instead to bring in the cash, worked out pretty well in the end.
-Got suckered in to buying Stevens as he'd been featuring in preseason at LB for Villa, then he didn't play so I'm going to need to do some deals in defence.

Picked Mata instead of Hazard/Lampard. Fail. Got rid of him now

Anyone know if Adebayor is likely to start this weekend? Could perhaps bang away some Spurs chances.

I was going to take Mata out as well but it would be just my luck this is the weekend he takes the spotlight over Hazard
Personally I wouldn't worry too much about the bonus points I don't think there is any real strategy other than looking at the analysis of what positions are most likely to receive it. Goalscoring defenders have a good chance but then goalscoring defenders are usually priced higher anyway.
