WHICH MANAGERS COULD GET A GAMEWEEK 38 TABLE BONUS?
One key source of Assistant Manager hauls is table bonus points, whereby Premier League bosses earn extra points if they beat (+10) or draw with (+5) a team that was five or more places ahead of them at the start of the Gameweek.
For example, of Gameweek 37’s six possible scalps, Fabian Hurzeler‘s (£1.1m) inspired substitutions caused then-ninth Brighton and Hove Albion to record a comeback victory over champions Liverpool.
The combination of six points for a win, three for goals, plus the table bonus gifted their young boss a score of 19, almost twice the tally of next-best trio Unai Emery (£0.8m), David Moyes (£0.5m) and Ruud van Nistelrooy (£0.5m). Each of these won 2-0 at home, for 10 points.
