        They're obviously not clear otherwise there wouldn't be so many different opinions about them. Only the players know for sure if they touched the ball or not there's no way you can possibly tell if there was a small touch by just looking at the videos.

    they are so clear that's why there has been so many post about it.
    I think you are being a bit greedy wanting both, there are people out there with Welbeck who really need the points, think of your fellow managers in their times of need.

  To me, if I was watching that game without caring about FPL or never discovered this site, I wouldn't even think twice about them being Rooneys assists.
  
  All these slow motion replays and people studying them frame by frame just shows how ridiculous it is.

      BBC website round up of the game attributes the Scholes goal to a Rooney assist, but that Wheater got a touch on the other...
      
      'Scholes, 37, had been relatively quiet up until that point on his first start since 22 May 2011, save for a whack on Mark Davies, but he was lurking at the back post to tuck in Rooney's cross after David Wheater had blocked Nani's centre.'
      
      'While there was a goal between the two sides, it was far from comfortable for United but their fraying nerves held together when Welbeck latched onto Rooney's attempted through ball, although it looked like Wheater got the touch, and poked past Bogdan for his eighth of the season.'
      
      I'm claiming both as I captained him lol 🙂

  FPL can't win really. I've said it many times, but I've no doubt the reason they changed the baps system (and assist too) would've been due to the number of idiots that sent them ranting emails every single GW about how wrong they thought FPL were. So they changed it to pure stats so there's nothing now to argue against, stats are stats.
  
  I'd love it to change back as I thought there was nothing wrong with the old system. People moaned but the best players did usually get the baps. But I doubt it will actually change again.

  This system would be better if they disclosed the calculation for the PPI. If we knew why Vorm never got BPs for saving a penalty and why Carroll got 1 BP for doing F all I would be a great deal happier with it. At the moment it just seems random.

  I also like it overall. Only thing I'd change is the negative pts for a shot off target. To me a player that piles loads of balls at goal is more likely to score.
  
  I agree that it can also show a lack of accuracy, but for an attacking player who is threatening on goal to get a worse PPI than an attacking player who is not makes no sense.
  
  I hope they change it next year to ensure at least shots off target get nothing.

  I'd choose the new bps system over the old one. Yup, I agree with you on the BP judges likings which sometimes can be biased in a way and will be argued by FPL players a thousand times but with the new bps system, can't really argue about it. It's just at is it, the stats.

well what a shocking week, if Richards plays tonight my main rival will have overturned a 28 point deficit in 1 week.

anyway onwards

Senderos and Evans

or

Kelly and BAE (or another defender for 5.3 or less)

other defenders would be Richards, Skrtel and either Raylor (if he continues OOP) or Santon, keepers would be Sorensen and Stockdale/Schwarzer

May I send my heartfelt thanks to AVB for not bringing on Sturridge for a 1 minute cameo. Mr Ryan Taylor is in the perfect position to come on and replace him. I've had more points on my bench than on the pitch in recent weeks, so this little break is very welcome.

If only Rooney got that penalty, would have meant 3bp for sure and a total of 26pts as captain. Quite a different story to 0. I bet people will kneejerk him out if the assists don't stand

      He has still been in bad form, Moses or Suarez 'could have been' amongst the top scorers if they had shot a little closer or got a little luckier...
      There is a lot of 'could have been's' in this game, but the fact is, he has failed to perform to his price lately, regardless of what 'could have been'
      Even if the assists stay, 6 points at home to the current worst team in the league is hardly something to be happy about really.

First draft of wildcard team, what do you think?

Vorm, Mingolet
Kompany, Williamson, Senderos, Simpson, Wilkinson
Valencia, Dempsey, Silva, Bale, Dyer
Aguero, Van Persie, Sturridge

A bit weak at the back i know, but i like the rest of it, and most of those defenders have good fixtures for a while. Could put Evans in instead of one of Williamson or Senderos. Really don’t fancy Manu Utd’s fixtures though. Any other ideas?

While this Rooney assist thing has turned into farcical Rooney owners v non-Rooney owners debate, I dare say that the non-Rooney owners have generally behaved in a more objective, less childish manner than the Rooney owners.

B)
Vorm/Mignolet
JEvans / Enrique / Santon / Richards / Kelly
Sess / Bale / Silva / Valencia / Dyer
Aguero / Sturridge / RVP
with 1.1 to upgrade else where ...

Basically what is better to have Dempsy and McClean .. and 1 big defender
or to have Sess and Dyer .. and 2 big defenders..

Thoughts?
