Chelsea v Liverpool team news: Lukaku, Alisson, Matip + Firmino absent

A red or two too.

They wouldn't have.

Alonsos just smashed it on target and hopes it either goes straight in or friend or foe deflect it in if off target

I am getting FPL points from Salah, Trent and Jota.

There's rules?

The rules regarding assists do seem a bit silly to be fair.

There's people?

I thought you were all bots.

Assuming this is aimed at me because I have a slight misunderstanding of the must confusing rule FPL have implemented. My response is back a page but alternatively here is how “clear” the assist rule is;

If an opposing player touches the ball after the final pass before a goal is scored, significantly altering the intended destination of the ball, then no assist is awarded. Should a touch by an opposing player be followed by a defensive error by another opposing outfield player then no assist will be awarded. If the goal scorer loses and then regains possession, then no assist is awarded.

- Given the error was made by the same player who touched the ball it’s still deemed an assist. Joke really.

Yeah Liverpools style provides great entertainment but it's also why there are so far behind City.

City are in control when defending, Liverpool are all over the place.

Its attrocious from both sides

Nothing gained, nothing lost.
Live to fight another day

Oh for goodness sake, read the FPL Rules page.

They Free Hitted for Brentford & Everton players, I'd say its going as expected.

Will probably rely on the DGW matches. But hasn't been great so far I imagine.

Why though?

I think it's the clearest one between his, Alonso's & Bowen 😮

Same happened two weeks ago for cavani goal vs Newcastle Dalit crossed but no assist given

Should get one before FAC next weekend.

Nope. I’ve been checking but couldn’t find any updates.
He’s coming off my bench for Foden, so hoping it’s not a cameo.

Oh dear.

More than one liked an underside of bar smash

Twice

Kovacic's was about a tenth as good as the one Yeboah constrictor scored.

You mean Jimmy Floyd?

All definitely an assist according to FPLs own rules.

Laporte's too.

All as equally clear assists.

I own all three, and I simply don’t get what all the fuss is about.
3 stonewall, run-of-the-mill assists right there 🙂

In real life terms, Jota's was closest to an actual assist in that he intended to pass to Mane.

I have all three of them so wouldnt mind

I haven't rewatched but thought Bowen's came from a defender clearance to the handball didn't it?
Jota absolutely no chance - Chalobah didn't get much on it but he clearly stopped the path of the cross and sent it the other direction.
Alonso - It was a shot on target so effectively the same as a more traditional 1v1 chance and someone follows up. Happened to be spectacular but I think it's a 'good' assist.

By the rules, all of them are.

Alonso
Bowen
Then
Never

Bowen knew f all about his

The 1st two are definitely assists as I started both. The last one is last on my bench so it's a bit iffy

I don’t think you should be learning a lesson to ‘ignore’ DGW’s and Captain a SGWer.
Usually, the people who load up on DGWers do better than those that ignore it.
Maybe the lesson is to stay away from rubbish DGW’s.

We? United? 2nd?

if anyone gets second outside of these 2 it's Spurs

Touchdown if you know your American football

Rumours so far is minor knock.. covid and is signing for arsenal.
