No Pienaar assist given?

Why are people acting like this is the first time FPL has delayed in awarding an assist? Chill the hell out. Sheesh

Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the last touch before the goal is scored.

If after this touch, an opposing player touches the ball outside the penalty area altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is given, except if this intervention directly results in an own goal.

In the event of a penalty or free-kick, the player earning the penalty or free-kick gets an assist if a goal is directly scored, but not if he takes it himself, in which case no assist is given.

All assists are reviewed daily but remain provisional until verified by the Press Association. For the avoidance of doubt, points awarded in-game are subject to change until the Gameweek closes. Once a Gameweek closes, no further adjustments to points will be made.

Haven't seen it, but according to BBC Pienaar crossed it, then mirallas shot, it was saved and hit the bar, then mirallas tapped it in - therefore according to the FPL rules it is not an assist, as Mirallas (FPL wise) assisted himself ....
(Pienaar owner) ... so it sucks but theres 45 mins left yet!

Of course its an assist. Last player to touch the ball before Mirallas scored. CMON FPL WAKE UP!! 😆

Relax. Assist will be given before the weekend is over.

And.....as expected.

ROOOOOOOONEY gets the assist

This is the biggest controversy since jussi had 3 saves, 😀

no assist on sky either

So the guys in fpl towers are logged on and pissing themselves at this forum

It's an assist the shot was over the line before the re- bound

What about the fact that Mirallas hit the bar first. Doesn't that mean it's a break in play/he assisted himself?

Shut up about the assist. It will be given, much to my annoyance

Martin Axford doesn't have Pienaar. Looks like it won't be given 😉

they will surely add the assist?

fwiw if i was a pienaar owner and the assist was not given i would be pissed to say the least

surely the last player to touch it before the goal was vorm? and he definitely changed ball direction, so no assist?

Lets start mailing FPL towers then boys?

Email address?

Mirallas assisted himself.

Last week Sterling was given an assist when Suarez scored from the rebound when his own shot hit the defender. 😕

just a query?

As I understand it Mirallas took a shot, Vorm pushed it onto the bar, then Mirallas put in the rebound?

If so then surely it can't be a Pienaar assist as Mirallas hits the bar, then scores so the last Everton player to touch the ball before the goal was Mirallas

Pienaar assist has been given !!!

Time to get rid of michu?

South Africa vs Sri Lanka reduced to 7 overs a side - should be exciting. 2 of the top teams at the tournament!

My Swansea defence double-up has been a huge failure but seeing how Rangel always ends up in scoring or assisting positions, I keep persisting. Vorm always gets save points, 6 already in this game. I will persist with this strategy until Chico comes back and see if they get better defensively.

as much as i want pienaar to get the assist [as i have him] , i don't think it is

remember RVP getting an assist for walcott when he scored off a rebound(off the post)

surely, that means peanut will get it

According to FPL rules it's an assist.

Only exception would be if an opponent player touched it outside of the box.

Chill everyone. Will be added.

I'm bored of this assist business now
