    Right, when's this Bowen assist getting added then? I'm on 30 points here - absolutely desperate.

        Given on other Fantasy games. And he's listed as a midfielder. Official game must have some sort of vendetta against Bowen or Danny Dyer.

      "Assist - none" means it's probably a final decision. It's usually "Tbc" or something in cases of further investigation.

        Content Creator ownership < 10%.

        In all seriousness, Pope must push it into Soucek and it's deemed second phase, but so hard to tell.

        It's not being added seeing as None was already credited.

          cheers fair enough, will go back and watch it just first instinct was that pope never had control of the ball and that usually means an assist is given

      are you tempted to get rid? I've had Saka for a while now and he's not worth 10m at the million compared to other midfielders - seriously contemplating Saka and Calafiori out for Rice and Gabriel for a minus 4 because I'm being killed by my nephew in our mini league week on week cos he's got the right two!
