Double Gameweek 19 Match Day thread

I think there was a very similar assist given at the weekend in one of the games, the city game maybe.

Is Bruno's intention that the ball is for Cavani, Martial or any united player to score?

It's such an inconsistent rule

Hahahaha ah stop, he's about 2 yards behind the cross, he's never getting there. Happy with the points but chilwell should have had his against Fulham as well then. It's more about consistency than anything else.

Not sure what game where you watching - the ball wasn't going to reach Cavani if the keeper didn't touch it.

I have Bruno so happy - but there is no consistency if that's an assist.

Sorry, ye are both right - dunno how my brain processed it so weirdly the first time

Lol fair play. Was trying to figure out how you reached that conclusion.

No idea how that is an assist. The inconsistentcy is laughable.

I wouldn't be surprised if that had been say AWB crossing it instead, no assist would be given

Have just seen the Mount goal. I’m not one for attacking lads on here, but you’re being completely disingenuous here if you believe these are the same with reference to the rules.

Do I think that the rule that allows Bruno’s be an assist is a bit silly? Yes. But Bruno is crossing to Cavani (unsuccessfully and poorly it should be noted), whereas Cresswell is never crossing to Mount in a month of Sundays. Which means that as per the rule, Bruno’s is an assist and Chilwell’s isn’t.

I mean they say it wasn't significantly altered in direction either, I mean if areola didn't touch it it literally was no where near cavani. I'm not disputing he was the intended target but there is no consistency in their decisions . There was another city one and a Solly march one there a few weeks back that different decisions were made in and it makes you think.

Would like to see those and try make a call. Let me know the games and I’ll try find a video. Have just seen the Chilwell people are referring to, and they aren’t being genuine with that. There is no way they can’t see the difference, with reference to the rules.

I have him, like the rest of us, but that assist for Bruno is farcical.

Cavani isn't getting it without the push out by the keeper. End of.

May as well have given Chilwell's against Fulham.

siblers

Chilwell's definitely wasn't an assist. Clear as day the ball wasn't reaching Cavani too.

I actually mentioned the Chilwell one but I haven't seen it, I'd just been told about it. I'll try dig out the other ones later. I think march got an assist that was in no way an assist and a similar happened later and it wasn't given or something like that. Around Christmas. I remember whinging on here about it anyway as I almost lost a h2h against someone with march over it.

Now with my new understanding of intended targets and that maybe I'd see it differently.

Yeah, people keep talking about how it wasn’t reaching Cavani without the keeper as if that matters. The rule is the rule. If people think that is applied inconsistently, and provide examples then cool, I am certainly not a spokesperson for the FPL rules committee, but so far the examples people have put forward have been nothing the same.

It’s a free game lads.

There’s no need for consistency or transparency.

If I hadn’t read the thread that this was said to you in, I would 100% have thought you were being genuine and started arguing with you haha

In fairness I remember now and the Solly march one is against West ham. Soucek pretty much does what areola does and and dunk knocks it in. March got the assist, so it was consistently applied in that situation. It's possible my interpretation of the rule is better after tonight but I think tonight's is worse as areola knocks the ball a fair bit out to cavani I thought.

So maybe it is a bit more psychological and a poor understanding of FPL assist rules up to tonight on my part.

Ace2007

Surprised Rashford hasn't had a run out

Any assist for second goal?

Good documentary on Netflix about Cavani

FT 2-1

On 54 with Salah, TAA, Wood, Grealish and Watkins to go. I've honestly had more points most single gameweeks so far. Trying not to panic.
