Excellent day so far. 3 pts, 3 pts behind Forest and way ahead of Brighton now.

This is my fault for putting Asensio back into my FL team.

Mine too unless I accidentally picked the Madrid one.

Hehe, his miss goes down as an assist.

Will it? Came back off the keeper so do they just count last "friendly" player touched.

Was very poorly struck though. Definitely needs to get his hitting boots on again.

They don't award the points on Fantasy Football though.

That is why I was asking the assist rules for the FPL?

FPL go by Opta I believe. He's been awarded the assist anyway.

Fair enough. I need to update my records then.

Assists were the slippery slope which led to transitions, low blocks, high lines, turnovers and all the other sorts of Americanised nonsense which crept into football.
