Dzeko is so frustrating to own. Easily could have had a hat-trick with a couple of assists

I am annoyed that the new assist rule means he only gets one!! But I'm hoping that match brings good omens for Cardiff and Hull. I see Negredo similar to Aguero and Silva similar to Jovetic. Dzeko linked up play very well today and was unlucky not to score.

Really think Pellegrini might not have been having us on about him playing a fair bit!

It may have been me. I feel your pain because I did the same...

I need to calm myself, it's only GW1. Like they say - it's a marathon, not a sprint.

I'll forgive you seeing as you suffered too :tongue:

Yeah. I guess as long as you keep above the average score then you're not doing too badly, and i'm currently doing that and have 5 players to play on wednesday. I just wish I didn't captain bloody Lukaku.

Assist + clean sheet + 2 BP for Zabellta not too bad.

Puts me to 62 with 3 to play.

Most likely 1 - Aguero assist not been added yet.

Dzeko for 7.5 is decent value, not sure how many of those performances I can stomach. He was given man of the match and played fairly well, but he's going to be a pain in the arse if he keeps missing chances like those.

Kompany injury better not be serious either.

Boom! Dzeko got given another assist :biggrin:

That's 7 for Dzeko, 8 for Silva and 9 for Zabaleta pre-bonus.

Jesus Christ the FPL don't even know their own assist rule. Imagine if they'd actually been competent enough to have opened Ultimate FPL on time and this had happened :facepalm2:

First gameweek and they've already completely bottled it.

So 61 points since Zab gets the 1 BP.

Rules

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.

Rebounds
If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored from the rebound, then an assist is awarded.

Either Dzeko was shooting, in which case number two applied, or, he intended it to go to Silva's position, in which case number 1 does not apply.

Such that they are right to award the assist.

How ridiculous. The new rules are going to cause a lot of debate over the year. What is "intended".

Who is to say that? Maybe he was aiming for Silva but can't cross for toffee? :holmes:

The change is silly, yes last season there were controversial 'assists' but it is much better that way than this. Ok, yeah, Dzeko's is a decent deflection, but at what point is a deflection acceptable? Too vague really, especially when MLs can be won by 3 points!
