@FPLMeerkat It's the same logic used here premierleague.com/en/news/450831…
English
Basically, this is FPL realising this is the first time this has ever happened with the new rules and trying to figure out what to do
Technically it's taken 2 defensive deflections and Bruno shouldn't get the assist, but if any Man United player had touched it rather than Hill it would have counted
The same number of touches, but a player on the opposite team, and it would stand...
It's a weird grey area that isn't covered in the rules! 😵💫

@FplMode Have you seen anything that states why that doesn’t count as a defensive touch
Defender touching the ball isn’t a defensive touch?
English
People saying it touched two defenders.
One of those defenders scored the OG.
That doesn’t count…

SCOUT: After review, the assist for Manchester United's second goal is awarded to Bruno Fernandes. His deflected pass led to the own goal from James Hill. There was no touch from Harry Maguire before the own goal.

@FPLThorpey @OfficialFPL It only has one defensive touch. The second is the own goal.

@FFScout @TopMarx_FPL So is it increasing the amount of Ball recoveries or reducing it ?

🆕 Opta have updated their definition of a ball recovery – a key component of defensive contributions in Fantasy!

Here's what it means for FPL ⬇️

@FPLProfessional SB have it at 0.20 xG, their model takes into account shot height blogarchive.statsbomb.com/news/statsbomb… their freeze frame of the shot (courtesy of @FFScout) - the keeper cone shows the shot is from very close range and has a clear path to goal, which is why Opta consider it a 'big chance'.
English
@TopMarx_FPL 0.46 is huge xG, it's more that I don't agree that this should be scored 46% of the time given how fast it came at him at an awkward height.
English
Timber lost his bonus because of this 0.46 xG "chance" 😂😂😂
Not that it really bothers me much as I have Raya but losing bonus because this is classified as a BCM 24 hours later is really quite absurd.
Just a friendly reminder of how unserious this game is that we play.

@FPL_TomHadley Bournemouth weren't in possession, so that's why no Ball Recovery

A Ball Recovery is a marker applied to player actions to define when possession has changed from one team to another. In order for possession to change from one team to another, the ball has to be under control. Bournemouth hadn't gained possession therefore no BR for Bruno.

I’ll be honest it looked like Bruno should have got 2 recoveries at the end there!

Ok sorry for being a DEFCON basher but… Pretty sure Bruno had 2 recoveries right there at the end? From clearances and he picked up the loose ball - that counts as a recovery right? And he headed a corner away in the 1st half that didn’t get counted? Look what this game does!
