    No, we didn't want any... but the slobs who have gorged on them lazily slagging off players because they haven't given them 'instant gratification' really do f me off. If they think Salah's played so badly put your balls where your mouth is & sell him.

  Next phase of play technically. Veltman “cleared” Salah’s head on, hence why Diaz was inside as the play came from Veltman and not Salah.

    Not sure why he’s defined as ‘clearing it’ defender just gets a touch on it and it didn’t change direction. Feel a bit unlucky with Salah captain there

  Clearly an assist as per FPL rules,veltman didn't change destination of the ball as per rules "significantly altering the intended destination of the ball"

    Intended destination was where VVD was. Diaz wasn't the intended destination at all. That combined with deflection means no FPL assist. Rewatch it.

"Newcastle United can confirm that club captain Jamaal Lascelles suffered a rupture to the ACL in his right knee during Saturday’s victory over West Ham United.

After seeing a specialist consultant, he is expected to undergo surgery next week and will be out for 6-9 months."

Lascelles injury is exactly why you don’t book too many transfers on your wildcard.

When its not an Opta assist, presumably there's a couple of people deciding if it's a fantasy assist, rather than an automatic update.

Could still be added shortly for Salah?
