Kane haul incoming...

Kulu goal - no assist

Emerson Royal (Kane)

2-0

May or may not be a Kane assist actually - de

Given as assist on the site to Kane, I thought the fact that it wasn't a shot that when keeper palmed it out it wouldn't be assist - but guess it is.

Haaland second half hat-trick incoming 😬

Oops...forgot the jinx syntax...

Haaland not in the game at all .. wouldn't be surprised if Pep subs him at half time

Im going to go with Mitro captain v spurs at home in the next GW to try and spice it up a little. Although city have Wolves at home. Brave call though. Has to be done at this point. Just seems like ive been 10 points behind my main rival for 5 GWs now. The differentials are tiny.

No assist

It's always nice when it happens so soon 😉

Mahrez!!!!!!

Mahrez again

KdB to Mahrez punt as part of WC has worked out fairly well!!!

Wonder if that be an Ederson assist -

Green arrow to 484k, the 6th in a row, which is grand.

Got a positive net score of 5 from the -4, so claim that while not being spectacular.

The TC didn't work out considering it was a DGW, only scoring an extra 8 points. But I guess 24 is not exactly the worst TC score either.

Taking a one week punt on bringing in Mahrez for his double game week worked out well and that helped bring me up to 83 and an OR inside the top 300,000 for the first time this season so HEWT.

72points and a small rise,,32on the bench,a PB,all single gamers,but still annoying

If you look in the rules section in the help tab on the FPL site it gives an explanation of what counts as an assist. For the Kane assisted goal:

"If a shot at goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded. The shot does not have to be on target to result in an assist."

For the Ederson long ball that the Spurs player failed to control:

"If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded."

Just watched a replay of the goals there and looks to me like it was more than a small deflection as you describe it. Looked like the defender brought it down and changed the direction of the ball so they could run onto it themsleves but did not realise that Mahrez was close enough to get to it before they could but that's just looking at it as a non Ederson owner. Could have gone the other way very easily.

Yea I would have thought ederson would have got the assist given some other assists this season - clear as day the ball was aimed for Mahrez

Kanes was more a cross I thought that the keeper palmed out and hence changed direction of the ball and royal was not the intended target but maybe towers to be so it as a shor
