Iheanacho benched as Man City make mixed start to Brighton clash

Assist was given to DDG for about 15 minutes, right? Why do you think they changed it?

To give the goal the onus for VAR is to find clear evidence he did touch it not that he didnt touch it.

They are too quick to give decisions on the fpl site(which is a different matter, they should wait for confirmation), whereas fpl twitter never actually gave the assist to anyone, and listed tbc.

I am pretty sure VAR people and fpl are not the same. 🙂

@Jason the aim of the game had to be to get as many decisions correct as humanly possible (Not to let errors layer of to of errors so that they "cancel each other out")

Wrongly awarded VAR penalties, Wrongly red carded Tomas Souceks that are later rescinded etc - they need to be put to one side, they're not justification to layer error on top of error on top of door in the hope that it "all balances out"

The replay they showed during the match was conclusive (to me anyways) and BBC Sport, Opta, Skysports, One football, Sodascore etc all had the assist on DDG - the fact that giving it to DDG highlighted the offside error unfortunately looks to have put pressure on the wrong award of the assist

They should have waited then and then give it to DDG.

OK, i shouldnt have said the balance it out part, but I'm still unconvinced that the replay is clear enough to be sure that its not a bruno assist.

Had the assist remained with ddg, id be saying the same thing, that there isn't enough on the replay for it to be taking away from ddg and given to bruno, but then that raises the offside question(which is a different matter).

Yes exactly - this isn’t an issue about the OP benefitting from plenty of errors in the first 37 GW’s, or that all these things balance each other out etc

It’s more that you think Bruno touched the ball

This is my point, if they took 20 mins, and deemed ddg hit it through, bruno didn't touch it and awarded to ddg, I wouldn't be sitting here demanding that it be given to bruno.
Its just not clear one or the other(in my mind) from the video for it to be definitive, so whatever fpl decide in this close call, is what it is.

The closeness of the call and people are acting like its the most obvious error ever.

Are you more sure of A or B?

A. DDG kicked the ball forwards
B. Bruno touched the ball

A, but what I'm sure of doesn't matter!

Its firstly the var ref to decide if the goal should stand.

And then for fpl towers to deem based on what the see.

I see your point, and I wouldn't have been shocked for ddg to have been given the assist instead of bruno, just the same as I'm not shocked that it was given to bruno.

So if you're sure DDG attempted the pass, but you're not sure Bruno touched it, why would you choose to give it to Bruno?

I didn't choose to give it bruno, and I get your point.
But once its been deemed to be brunos assist, I don't see enough in the replay to be outraged that it was given to him.

But if you divorce yourself from the personal investment in the situation (everyone is either a Bruno owner, non-owner, captainer, etc)

Can you see why people feel strongly that the wrong design was reached?

It is 100% unarguable that DDG played the ball forwards... it is (extremely) tenuous at best that Bruno touched it - (personally I think it’s conclusive that he didn’t touch it but fair enough I can understand if someone else subjectively sees something from a different angle etc)

*wrong decision not design

Yes, I see the point, but there have been way worse calls made over the season that didn't seem to get the reaction tonight did, maybe as its so close to the end. Like I said, I wouldn't have been outraged had fpl deemed it a ddg assist, just more confused as to how it stood in the 1st place!

I'm just glad I didn't cap him as I was close to it, but he'll likely end up beating my actual cap kane!
