We end a marathon day of football at Wembley Stadium which provides a fitting finale as Tottenham Hotspur host champions elect Manchester City.

But it’s not Pep Guardiola’s City that hold the interest for Fantasy managers, as Harry Kane goes into tonight’s contest as the most signed player ahead for Gameweek 34 (255,000+) and wearing just over a million armbands.

Kane’s recent output has been hampered by injury, though having been awarded a controversial goal at Stoke City in Gameweek 33, he still boasts attacking returns in five of his previous starts.

Christian Eriksen has also proved a big draw ahead of this encounter, claiming 158,000 new owners before today’s deadline to edge ahead in the popularity pecking order in the Spurs midfield.

Son Heung-min may just have slipped down that ladder – he is benched today as Erik Lamela gets the nod. The South Korean will therefore likely start the away fixture with Brighton on Tuesday, though only three of his 12 goals this season have come on the road.

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

    Definitely wasn't an assist though. Only an idiot could think otherwise

    1. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Yeh it's clear after seeing the replay, have to feel for cappers but if you know the rules then you have to agree with the decision.

    2. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Judging by the rules it’s not, but in real life it kind of is.
      Don’t get me wrong but some ball bouncing is enough to steal an assist from the passer according to a quite unflexible rule.

      In real life it’s a thorugh ball, executed with the help of a rebound, according to the rules it’s 2 seperate chances and shots, which is not quite right. No assist though in fpl terms, it’s the rules.

    3. JabbaWookiee

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years

      He will come on. Lamela has been pants. And it should mean Son starts v Brighton which is better fixture anyway

    Has Eriksen touched it? Could swear it was Kane goal.

    So if i FH now, prices changes won't affect my pre FH team right ? No change in TV?

    It will affect me while choosing the team on FH?

      i think your pre fh team will still get rises....its kind of like renting another team for a week, your original team gets put in a safe and can still accrue value..

      i think

      1. The Overthinker

        This is the best way a FH is explained.

    Clearly Eriksen doesn’t score if not for the pass from Kane to set the whole sequence up. The PL should take a lesson from the NHL on how they award assists. If the player recieving the pass scores regardless of how many shots it takes and possession hasn’t changed..., the assist is awarded.

    1. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Totally agree, but under this season's rules it wont count.

      1. Costa Nostra
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure why they don’t do It this way. It takes way from the beautiful assists that led to a goal just because a defender gets an inadvertent block and the ball still ends up going i without changing possession. What’s the problem?? Just award assists this way.

        1. Amsterhammer
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Well going forward next season it might be nice. I don't think they can change rules mid season.

      Right. American here, and hockey fan for 40 plus years. Assists are very different between the two sports. Much less forgiving in hockey around ricochets and rebounds. FPL approaches this, but otherwise, has some pretty strict thresholds for assists to be granted compared to hockey.

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        More forgiving *

      Stop being salty it's not an assist (fellow Kane capper)

  12. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    If Son gets the assist v Chelsea and Shaqiri gets it v Spurs then surely that has to be a Kane assist as well

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      This.

    2. Zilla

    3. Dannyb

      No, different.

    4. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 19 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Very different events.

      No assist is awarded if a goalscorer scores after his initial shot is blocked. I can't think of any examples of this not being the case.

  13. Granville
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights

    Son and Otamendi owner. Clearly bad decisions by the managers to bench them.

      Could be worse ... at least you do not get minus points (Davies owner) 🙁

    Shaqiri got an assist for this last GW. Bloody ridiculous.

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years

      Good god, I don't understand how kane is not given an assist then

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Different order, keeper then scorer vs scorer keeper scorer

      2. *Reformed-Character*
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        You must be seriously stupid if you don't understand Demba after possibly 4 clear cut explanations? Let it go

    2. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      That's different. Diouf didn't take a shot after the initial pass

    3. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen had his first shot saved, Shaqiri just had 1 shot, I presume that's the reason. Needs clearing up really

    4. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      That wasn't an assist since there was no shot from Diouf. It's essentialy a shot from Shaqiri, off Lloris and then the goal.

      That one is different

      1. Mark
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 19 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        It's not really a shot by Shaqiri, it's a pass intended for Diouf who scores after the touch by Lloris.

        Did the touch from Lloris divert the ball from the intended target. No.

        The Eriksen goal would have had an assist had Ederson's touch not come from an attempted shot.

        1. Clintymints
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah of course I'm agreeing with you!

    5. Mark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 19 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not ridiculous - where's the first shot from Diouf before he scores?

      https://www.premierleague.com/news/511775

      "When player scores from a second attempt, no assist is awarded to the team-mate who provided the pass or cross"

      The first attempt from Eriksen is clear. He scores with his second touch after a first initial shot. No assist.

      1. Team Cruel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I'm not saying that Kane should have an assist but why does Shaqiri get one? Why are the FPL rules as they are? Why does a player who actually finds a teammate not get an assist while a player that misplaces a pass gets one?

        A) Player X passes to Player Y. Player Y shoots, attempt is saved and Player Y puts in the rebound. No assist for Player X.
        B) Player X attempts a pass to Player Y. Goalkeeper is first to it, tries to clear but only manages to hit Player Y, who happily accepts the gift and scores. Assist is given to Player X.

        IMO either you should give an assist in both the situations, or in neither. As it stands you're punishing players who actually find their teammates (Kane and Barnes today), while rewarding players who find their opponents (Shaqiri last week). It really doesn't make sense.

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Imagine triple captaining kane and not getting an assist

    I'd be livid

    1. the axolotl
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      i am, i am. it's clearly not an assist tho. 🙁

  17. skriniar
    • 8 Years

    no goal pts, no assits pts, go f*k yourself

  18. BullDogTevez
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    So you're telling me the assist stopped being an assist the moment Eriksen took his shot and it hit a defender, then he scored from the rebound.

    Wow! What a crazy world we live in.

    1. *Reformed-Character*
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing crazy about it

  19. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Shaqiri pass to intended area/player... Lloris touch... Diouf control and scores.

    Kane pass... Eriksen shot... saved... Eriksen rebound.

    Kane pass is an extra phase back, no assist!

    1. El-Kloppico
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Oh well.. Can you now explain the Son assist against CHE? He never intensed to pass and hit the defender..

      1. El-Kloppico
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        intended*

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Shot blocked.

        Extra touch from Alonso didn't change speed or trajectory of the ball.

      3. Clintymints
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        His shot was saved, missed by the defenders and then slotted home. Same as Shaqiri

    2. Vlad Tepes
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Well how da f*** can you get an assist if your opponent touches the ball and intend to shoot it away. Shaqiris assist make even less sence than Kane lol

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        It's like a save.

  22. Davido989

      Agree.But baffled that Shaq got his assist against Spurs and Son against CHE

      Are all your players "safe" from price drops once activated then? What about price rises?
