It’s here. The new Premier League season is upon us and begins within the fitting confines of the “theatre of dreams”.

Old Trafford hosts the season opener, as Louis van Gaal’s freshly sculpted Manchester Untied lineup host Tottenham.

It’s a lip-smacking, sun drenched prospect, played on a billiard table of a surface, with an array of Fantasy talent on show.

Immediately we hope to assess the prospects of both Wayne Rooney and Harry Kane – two protagonists who will surely play some part in our seasons, if not our Gameweek 1 lineups.

Following that, we’ve a quartet of three o’clock kick-offs and a tea-time date with the champions.

It’s great to be back.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Rooney should've scored. End of story.

    No points.

    1. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Yep, first time hit needed.

    2. Legendary!

      Still rusty, that should have been first time

    from rules:

    Assists

    Assists are awarded to the player from the goal scoring team, who makes the final pass before a goal is scored. An assist is awarded whether the pass was intentional (that it actually creates the chance) or unintentional (that the player had to dribble the ball or an inadvertent touch or shot created the chance).

    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.

      Should be an assist then?

    2. sinik

      10 years, 11 months ago

      that's for a regular goal.

    3. For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Roon assist then

    4. foreverton
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      YES! no assist 😀

      Own goal rules are different. Read the rules properly.

      1. Piggs Boson
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        This.

        There is a specific section for own goals.

    6. il Brutto
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      No assist then according to that.

  3. So Troublesome
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    They may or may not give the assist. Don't hold your breadth (Rooney is my capt).

    1. Podge
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      What about my width, should I hold that ?

        Haha!

  4. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Rooney forced the OG at the end of the day, so it should be an assist

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Agreed

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Ah, in that context, I would agree. I'm a non Rooney owner, too. His possession forced the own goal. I get it.

  5. Jay_
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Walker on 9 bps lol

    1. PSEBJ27
      • 11 Years

      It was a clinical finish

    Well done non rooney owners

    1. Azzy
      • 15 Years

      Do you ever look back and realise how much rubbish you speak? So annoying.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Leave him alone. He's a legend.

        1. The Invincibles
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 11 months ago

          I'd hardly class a member of a fantasy football website a legend...

  7. Hakuna Juan Mata
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    How on Earth is that not an assist for Rooney....

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      It might be.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      It will be.

  8. Scoredelario

    As a Rooney vice captainer I don't really care

    1. Would an idiot do that?
      • 11 Years

      1. Scoredelario
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        He was top or nearly top of captain poll so you might be better off with him blanking

    3. Podge
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Then dont post anything...

      1. Scoredelario

      1. Bedknobs and Boomsticks
        • 17 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        To be fair, I only came on to see if it had been awarded as a Rooney assist or not.... .

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Bring back postal fantasy football. We'd have to wait a couple of days to moan.

      Yeah, opposed to most topics on a site dedicated to a fantasy football game.

  10. The Raging Bull
    • 12 Years

    everyone get your emails to FPL ready if Rooney assist not given!

    1. PSEBJ27

    Who crossed the ball for the Rooney assist?

    1. Epic Fail

  13. Top 210 Club
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Assist will come, if Rooney hadn't touched the ball the way he did it wouldn't have been a goal. He forced Walker into the og.

  14. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    This place is absolutely horrendous atm. No giggity

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      How dare they not put the assist on immediately.

      1. Your Mum's Athletic
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        I have him captain but the way people are reacting is just wow

    1. The Train Driver

      6

    2. Would an idiot do that?
      • 11 Years

      6 if captain

  18. Malcolm Tucker for England …
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    So Walker touched the ball to stop Rooney from scoring after he'd controlled it....
    hmmmm, would you say he was forced to make the challenge by any chance?

  19. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Rooney forgot how to be a striker...

    1. HamezMace
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      It's been 4 years since he played as one

  20. stevie
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    same idea as getting the assist for a penalty...

  21. Ron_Swanson
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Who do you want out of Mata and Depay at the moment?

    1. Burger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Depay

      1. Ron_Swanson
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 11 months ago

        Mata looks good too though! I'm not sure!

    2. Cesc, Drogs & Rock and …
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Both look good, but not owning Depay is stressing me out more.

      (watch Mata go and score now.)

    3. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Mata

    4. The Invincibles
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Mata

  22. Would an idiot do that?
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Rooney has such a high ownership that if the assist isn't given there will be uproar!

    1. PSEBJ27
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      There is uproar

  23. Hakuna Juan Mata
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Everyone go to the "Help" tab on Fantasy and scroll all the way to the bottom and urge FPL to give Rooney assist points! lol

  24. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    As a roon captainer, that was an assist. But even so, he caused the goal, so it should be.

  25. Morbius
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Early season controversy!

    I captained Rooney but I don't see that being given as an assist.

  26. Salfpilgrimlfc
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    What sites are good for stats this season bonus transfers etc? Fpl.com?

  27. icywrists23
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    just woke up hows it going

    was it hectic here this morning/

    who got the assist?

    1. Malcolm Tucker for England …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 11 months ago

      Lukaku

  28. GlasgowFF
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    It doesn't really matter as everyone has Rooney, but if that assist is not given this game is as bent as athletics.

  29. Heydudes13
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 11 months ago

    Should be given

    Chill

  30. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years

    Where is my Rooney captain assist?
