As the dust begins to settle after last night’s match at the Bridge drew a line under Gameweek 1, we cast an eye back over the 11 matches played out. In particular, we analyse some impressive attacking performances at the back and, crucially, highlight a number of protagonists who stood head and shoulders above many of their team-mates last time out from an offensive point of view.

Apologies if this has been already discussed, but what's up with Szczesny's bonus point? He didn't have yesterday and now he does? Has it been awarded?
Open Controls-
It's not the bonus point which has rematerialised, it's a save point - he'd gone down to 2 saves and now he's back up to 3.
The BPS and bonus points have also been all over the place but that's a separate matter...Open Controls -
he lost a point due to losing his 3rd save, rather than losing the bonus point.
the issue now is losing that save caused him to lose 1 of the points which determine bonus points, meaning he should no longer qualify for a share of the 1bp with clark.
other matches were tweaked too, quite a few players currently have a bonus point they're not entitled to, coleman and zabaleta other examplesOpen Controls

Who is Man Utds best option in Midfield?
Want to do Lukaku ---> Soldado
Harzard -----> 7.5m Mid
I have no Utd player in my team and there is value in their midfield
Any other 7.5 Mid worth it? Have Coutinho, Walcott, Miralles, Kim
Buried at last pageOpen Controls -
Guys Im on a WC
RVP and Aguero are so detrimental to my overall team that I don't think I can do it.
I think it comes down to Aguero/Lambert/4.5mid/4.5mid
Or
Dzeko/soldado/6 mid/4.5mid
I'm right in going for the second option aren't I?Open Controls -

Don't know what to make of Mourinhos statement on Wayne Rooney. Saying they will make an offer after the Chelsea United game seems like some great mind games and looks for all the world that he is trying to put Moyes in the position of being unable to pick him....What do you think ?....Surely Moyes can't play somebody who has one eye on transfering to their opponents, can he ?
Open Controls-
Torres, Anfield - November 2010 Took Chelsea apart and forced them to go and break the bank for him...its all about the ego with Strikers
Open Controls-
yeah...it's a strange situation and maybe Moyes's first real selection headache...Personally i'd play him but it depends on where Rooney's head is at...
Open Controls-
I think your right, but also if there is to be a reconciliation Moyes can't NOT play Rooney...I think the original Moyes comment about "if anything happens to RVP..." was misconstrued by Rooney but if he isn't picked for a game like this and Moyes does a 5 in midfield, well...

Snodgrass has had his yellow flag removed, and is now at 1.9% to drop on Total FPL.

Just noticed this....I know I'm late to the party. 😆
"After review of TV footage and the game rules an assist has been awarded to Eden Hazard for the first Chelsea goal. His shot was saved by the goalkeeper and a goal was scored from the rebound."
Yes, yes it was!
.....An OWN goal, that came of two Villa players on its way into the goal.
Does Luna play for Chelsea now?
Keeper makes the save from Hazard's shot, the ball is taken away from goal because of the save, if Luna isn't there the ball continues going away from goal (a Chelsea player may have been the first to it for a tap in who knows? In that case it would of been an assist) it then hits the onrushing Luna, which takes the ball back the opposite way and into the goal. It hits two Aston Villa players. Not one. But two. The ball has changed direction twice because of two Villa players after Hazard's shot. Do you mean to tell me, that the ball could have been deflected between Villa's 11 players after the shot, gone in, and be given a Hazard assist? Better still, Guzan should of just caught the ball, rolled it to Luna and Luna just blasted it into the net.
"Yeh but it was still an assist LOL"
"Forget about it now, move on LOL"Open Controls-
So long as they're consistent from now with this rule.
Open Controls -
This is a really stupid comparison.
Shot -> Saved -> Goal from save = Assist
If it'd gone Shot -> Saved -> Deflected -> Goal from deflection it'd never be an assist.
What a WUMOpen Controls-
"What a WUM"
I guess the same goes for all those begging for it to be an assist aswell like their lives depended on it? Or is it people who just disagree with it being an assist?
In reality its not an assist, this is a game. In my view it isn't an assist. Like Bale's wasn't last year vs. Wigan. Or Dzeko's vs. Newcastle for Silva's goal (which they correctly didnt give)
Did Bent get an assist for beachball vs. Liverpool all those years ago?
I own both Dzeko and Hazard, but I'm trying to be fair. Still. You'd probably expect someone to have bias with that. But I dont.Open Controls

Its the rebound rule you need to look at:
Rebounds
If a shot on 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.
If Guzan had palmed it off onto Demba Ba, it would have been a Hazard assist - so why not if he palmed it on to Luna for an OG?Open Controls -
Seems in keeping with the rules to me.
"Do you mean to tell me, that the ball could have been deflected between Villa's 11 players after the shot, gone in, and be given a Hazard assist? Better still, Guzan should of just caught the ball, rolled it to Luna and Luna just blasted it into the net."
No, because if the ball had been deflected between Villa's 11 players after the shot then been tucked in by a Chelsea player there wouldn't have been an assist. Neither would there have been if Guzan had caught the ball, rolled it to Lampard and Lampard just blasted it into the net.
If a player shoots, it's saved but the rebound is put in the net it's an assist. Easy 🙂Open Controls

Various reports stating Lamela to Spurs is likely.
Nothing I'd trust too much, but if a deal went through he'd be a great Fpl prospect at 8.0ish
15 goals, 6 assists last year in a middling team.. 21/22 years old.. Exciting times for SpursOpen Controls -
Who got over 100 on here & how much?

I've compiled this Members table looking at the most attacking players this season. Obviously just one or two games to go on at the moment, but may be worth referring back to as the weeks go by. I've sorted by shots inside the box and also included more assist/bonus worthy stats such as corners, crosses and pass completion. I've left the search function free so you can search by home/away etc when we have more games under our belts.

Yaya toure and Silva is it overkill to have them both and Aguero ?
Open Controls-
yes, but only because yaya toure is simply not a good option for 8.5 despite what his 10 points suggest. his free kick covered for a game where he never got in the box. fair enough it was a great free kick and it's an asset to be on them but how many more will he score this year. 8.5mil for a guy who never ventured into the area is madness imo
