    How many assists Bruno denied today? Should have at least 3 or 4 by now.

      Not really
      Saka just needs a goal a clean sheet & 2 or 3 bonus to outscore him .

      Captain Haaland - forgot about Friday deadline due to work late
      & then stuck in unexpected 3hr queue on Friday.

      Was thinking to check Friday late to go with possible
      Bruno or Arsenal player like Saka or Gabriel

      It is what it is - will have to see how it plays out

    People who didn't captain Bruno have been incredibly lucky. 9 points is a complete let down after that game

      Very disappointing considering.

      Up against a few Gabriel cappers and could easily have them covered, now really want a Burnley consolation goal

    So entertaining. On another day that could have been a 10 - 5 game. What wouldn't ManU give for a real striker or two...

    Thought that YC would’ve knocked Anderson down the bonus more 🙁

    Another Bruno return and it would’ve, pity, it’s going to be a right scrap in the ML

      Bruno will get all 3 when they recalculate. Created enough chances at the end.

    Do we reckon Bruno will stay on only 1bp? Seems strange as created a lot of chances in the last five minutes?

      They decided to pander to casuals more by changing the rules. Cross into box, only one defender touch and Shaw scores. Intended target rule done away with.

        If only one defender touch and the goal scorer is inside the box, it stands as an assist.

        If Shaw scored from outside the box it wouldn't of stood, as per Porro's assist last week.

        Them's the rules

        Why so serious bro, just asking i already have bruno in my team but thats not an assist for me, so players missed his assists this justifies handing him an assist which is none lol

          As per the rules of FPL it's an assist, as I explained in my other comment above

          In the rules of general football it's never an assist, you're right. But FPL has its own set of rules, which they correctly awarded the assist for.
