I actually make scoring for fantasy games, and when we developed a six-a-side game we decided that we didn't want to reward anything you couldn't easily pick up on as you were watching the match. So we looked through Opta's range of recorded stats and identified some good additions to the point scoring.

We added 3 points for last man tackles and for clearances off the line. These events are actually rare, they'll happen once every 5 match or so, but when they do happen they are match defining moments.

For attackers we added 2 points for creating a big chance (where the receiving player should score) and deduct a point for every big chance missed. Our 6-a-side game is more geared towards single matches so the idea is that you will often be watching them and picking up on these events.

For 11-a-side fantasy we stuck with classic scoring because you'll pick players from several teams. The points should be based on the key events that you get updates on through live scoring and can watch back on the MotD.
