Over the years, we have, unfortunately grown used to - and begun to accept - the bizarre and exasperating fact that, while FPL's own stats summaries list the number of saves each goalkeeper has been credited with, they omit to include any mention of the number of points they've cumulatively received for those saves.

With the introduction of the opaque, bizarre, and unnecessary 'defensive points' this year, we really shouldn't be surprised to find that there's a similar oversight here: the FPL website records the number of eligible 'defensive contributions' ascribed to each player, but doesn't bother to tally the number of 'defensive points' they've earned over the season.

What gives, FPL???
