To encourage more attacking football and more goals.
I propose: 1 point each no score draw. 2 points each score draw. 3 points home win. 4 points away win.

I liked 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a defeat. Most people on here probably don't even remember that but it served football well for the first 150 years of its existence.
It meant all games carried 2 points and a draw was truly a 'share of the spoils'.
Now all games are equal but some more equal than others! Your suggestion would exacerbate that further.
The principle that all games carried the same worth should never have been abandoned in the first place.
Do we really have such a low patience threshold that we can't just let the game run within its rules rather than create a phoney incentive to encourage a shit or bust approach to matches because that would be more fun?
Perhaps, but if so I think that's a bit sad.

Doesn't encourage more attacking football though does it. Park the bus and hope for a one nil away win of the counter would never be more popular |

Stoke got a battling point against Man City away but the stats showed 12 Manc attempts on goal to Stoke's 5.

Two points each for a score draw rather than one point each for a no score draw? No scope there for a bit of pre-match fixing between the two teams is there?
Football's a simple game at its best. The points system is fine how it is.

It is no more relevant than that Stoke had two attempts on target to Man City's one. EDIT: I see a few of us are making the same point! |

it would be interesting to see how the table was and where we were if it was revised with those points given. Fucked if I am going to try to do it though.

I can't believe that someone hasn't already suggestef this yet but the best rule change would be that Goalkeepers are allowed to wield a sword, that would be immense

I'm not talking about 'equal' in the sense of each team having an 'equal' change of winning. I'm talking about 'equal' in the sense of all games carrying an 'equal' pay load. All games used to carry 2 points which were split in some way between the teams. We now have 2 point matches and 3 point matches, it is no longer the case that all games have the same value. I don't think that is how it should be. It never used to be until the authorities decided to effectively downgrade the draw. What we have is positive discrimination in favour of the win. Do you see what I am saying now? |

I've long been an advocate of a rule whereby if you're desperate for points (e.g. fighting for survival) then your usual 3-points-for-a-win can be 'boosted' by playing "rush goalie" for a game. If you win at Home you get 5 points, Away Win gets you 10 points, and Away Win with a Clean Sheet, leads to a 20 point bonanza, that would shake it all up a bit.

Didn't they do something in the Central League-years back on goals scored earning you extra points?
I think I read about it in Dudley Kernicks book.

Bonus points!
1 bonus point for every 3 goals scored in a game.
1 bonus point for no yellow / red cards
1 bonus point for quiet, well-behaved fans politely applauding both teams on and off the pitch with NO SWEARING!
1 discretionary bonus point for standard of stadium catering, to be judged by a panel of prawn sandwich loving celebrity foodies.

I do think that 3 points has made the season interesting but would hate any more tinkering So much else needs fixing diving being punished is the most important imho |

Perhaps we should go back to goalkeepers being allowed to carry the ball to the half way line and bouncing it every three steps.

I'd do away with draws altogether. Go to extra-time and penalties if the score is tied after 90 minutes.
