      That's why you should stick to players to reduce the variance

  18. ivantys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Even livescore registered as Cresswell assist. FPL tower on drugs

    If Antonio touched it, then they would've ruled it offside as Soucek was ahead of Antonio. Was onside when Cresswell played the ball.

    It will be Cresswell assist

    Looks like I picked the perfect week to bench Souček!

  21. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    On the VAR replays you can clearly see antonio didn’t touch the ball hench it’s not offside right?

    Flashscores is killing me. Showing a Bamford assist for Leeds goal and Cresswell assist for West Ham 2nd goal. Obviously wrong on both counts FFS!

      same here with Jack instead of Son - realistically was never going to play him so no point worrying. Just wish he was first sub so had a chance on the points
