So does Benteke still get points docked for a missed penalty even though he scored on the rebound?

View original

He does, unfortunately. (-2 points for the missed pen and 4 for the goal, so he's 2 points in credit.)

Cheers Gerry. @Ben looks like. He was showing 3pts last time I was able to get the page up.

Gah!

Don't worry, everyone will have 'Teke, except Shaggy, of course.

The bonus points are live this season, Mig has the 3. (Sturridge and Aspas 2 apiece.) Very nice start Mr Taxis.

You sure about that Gerry? I made it:

2 - for 90 mins
4 - CS
1 - save points
5 - saving a penalty

=12

Friend of mine made 15 'free' transfers at 11:28 - they weren't processed until 11:31.

He starts the season on minus 56 points.

That is so shit. You've got to hand it to the EPL - all that money and they can't afford a decent digital/dev team.

The Ultimate Fantasy League game has been cancelled and will be launched next season, the iPhone/Android app is still testing(!) and the website never has enough bandwidth to work on a matchday.
Really shocking.

A brace for Benteke but he's pissed away six points in his penalty miss, yellow card and missed bonus points. That's back-to-back bookings since he was sent off in his last match of last season. Food for thought.

12 is correct, but he'll get another 3 bonus points too.

No less than 3 players with yellow cards - and the real hothead didn't even play.

Makes ya proud.

I did towards the arse end of last season.

I did get 3 goals today, though.

EDIT: 4 goals.

. Incidentally the match is live and FREE on PickTV (Freeview 11) from 5pm this afternoon if you don't have Sky.

Cheers for that, Godot. I'd have been attempting to hook my laptop up to my TV otherwise and no doubt having Russian commentary.

Well they haven't really fixed the bonus point system, have they - still biased towards the winning side.

Mid Table (top half-ahem) so far
When I saw Van Persie & Benteke with a brace apiece I feared the worst.
Kudos to Rob H for being the first person to have a Wolfswinkel since Red Riding Hood in that porno movie I saw once

Cancellation swayed by lack of interest perhaps. I'm a huge FF fan but wouldn't pay for a fancy, bells and whistles version.

Giaccherini might be a good 'differential' for you. Never heard of him myself - I assume he's a decent goalscorer?

Chapman has raced out to an early lead!

In the Head-to-Head League, as things stand, Alphabetti Bonetti trail Slomo FC by only 2 points in one of the tightest encounters this weekend. Come on, Badge!

Well I had 4 goalscorers including my captain before Sunday games started.
