It'd be nice if they took it away from him as I don't have him, but there's no chance they reverse the Richards assist IMO.

Finalising Assists
Assist points awarded by Opta within Fantasy Premier League are calculated using additional stats which may differ from other websites. For example, some other sites would not show an assist where a player has won a penalty.

For the avoidance of doubt, points awarded in-game are subject to change up until one hour after the final whistle of the last match of any given day. Once the points have all been updated on that day, no further adjustments to points will be made.

They've gone against that in the past, but I don't see it happening here.

They've changed it before way past the 1 hour deadline;)

Stop giving me hope lads hahaha, setting me up for a fall

I'll take a Payet goal to win at least 1 head to head.

AdMMM · 14-09-2015 11:03AM

So I look to be 41 points away from the Top 100k. That'll probably increase by a point or two after tonight's game as well. What I'd do to just have a good start to a season...

boccy23 · 14-09-2015 11:08AM

Added up the Dream Team so far this week and it amounts to €55.3M.

Crazy game this year.

If you started it, people would have thought you mental.

Another captain fails (Sanchez)

If you consider Aguero was largely the most capped this week, Sanchez was a half-success

44 all in, Mahrez saved my GW.

And the season to date dream team only costs £68.6m at current player prices. Admittedly its impossible to play as it contains 6 Man City players in a 4-5-1 formation with Callum Wilson as the solitary forward.

Crazy alright.

loadwire · 14-09-2015 01:02PM

35 points so far.

To come:
+2 Westwood sub for Sterling
Sakho and Payet

Down to 400k from 300k. Hopefully will sneak back up after tonight though there will be a lot with sub points to come with Rooney, Silva etc.

boccy23 · 14-09-2015 01:08PM

Scored 53 with Mahrez as captain and went up nearly 900K in the world to 1.02M.

The Mahrez captain thing wasn't that far in left field. They were at home to Villa, he is on fire atm. The other alternatives of Aguero (away to a good Palace side) and Sanchez (at home to a Stoke side that they never go crazy against) could have been skipped for Mahrez.

Agreed. I captained Aguero and didn't have Sanchez. Put Mahrez VC as he seemed the logical choice after Aguero for me.

I wasn't getting talked out of Aguero though, so can't complain.

SpaceCowb0y · 14-09-2015 02:05PM

I cant seem to catch a break so far this season. After my most successful campaign ever last season I seem to be on the worst run of my career at the moment! 41 at the moment with Payet to play tonight.

Miguel_Sanchez · 14-09-2015 02:56PM

47 (-4) with Payet left to play tonight.

My first ok week and my first win in my head-to-head league.

I always start badly but this year is special.

That's incorrect re Arsenal vs Stoke. Arsenal beat Stoke 3-0 last year and lost to them 3-2. That's five goals over their last two games against them.

I actually heard a number of media outlets at the weekend mentioning the hammering Arsenal gave Stoke last year.

True. But Arsenal didn't have a home goal up to that point, always find Stoke something of a handful and Mahrez is on better form at present, and frankly so are Leicester than either Sanchez or Arsenal.

If this was Fantasy dodge ball Sanchez would be priceless.

Sanchez is having more blocked shots per match than Mahrez is having shots in total its like he is aiming to hit players! Last season he had one of the highest rates of blocked shots and this year its gone through the roof! His numbers are still huge it will happen at some point surely.

I'd rather Ozil or Cazorla and bank the money (hopefully we'll eventually have a reason to use it). To me, Sanchez is not a reliable captaincy option a la Aguero, Suarez, etc. I can't remember a GW where he was a firm favorite last season and delivered

In fairness the sample size of when he would have been a firm favorite last season is nowhere near a significant sample.

His numbers make for unreal reading if he can go back to a 13% conversion rate like last season he is going to be gold. He has the potential to blow Ozil or Cazorla out of the water but as you say right now that looks the better option. I did Cazorla>Sanchez last week :mad:

Probably, since I had at least three captain fails with him. Maybe Burnley away for the brace, but he wasn't even highly owned then.

Having watched every match, Sanchez will be a Pelle where his stats will not translate to their full point potential. He's been very unlucky but the only reason I'd go for him is ownership; he has some direct free kicks in his locker and that's it for set pieces.

Alexis and Kun will smite ye doubters with fire and brimstone. Only the true belivers shall survive the armageddon and enter the kingdom of FPL paradise.

Sanchez has averaged almost 5 times as many shots per game as Hazard this season the money gap between them is being made to look ridiculous so far.

Hazard had a conversion rate of 17.9% last season is Sanchez could reach those heights he'd be going at almost a goal a game that would be fun!

Yeh I agree for all Sanchez super stats he's never going to be the points machine Aguero normally is. Pelles conversion is insane its amazing he became a striker the guy just can't shoot. He probably only got into teams because he's pretty and people want to be his friend.

He'll deliver some double digits a la Liverpool and Hull last season, but is it worth it over a steady stream of Ozil/Caz assist+baps points? I led the anti Costa charge around this time last season, maybe I'll be the head of the anti Sanchez now :cool:

Fab would definitely be a fantasy football dodge ball beast he's like Scholes smacking it miles knowing exactly what blade of grass it will land on!

If you want to know just how mad Sanchez stats are last season Fab had 16 blocked shots all season so far this season Sanchez has had 14!

I tried running it through the system but the only response it comes out with is Lukaku no numbers.
