As some of you are aware some of the competitions that are included in the DreamFooty game have had assist data missing. This is due to the fact our data provider simply does not collate this data.

Over the last month I have been trying to locate a reliable data source so we can fill these blanks in. I have been unable to find anything that goes close to providing all the information that we would require.

So the decision has been made to proceed with this seasons DreamFooty game without assist points for these cup matches.

As each leagues cup matches are effected there is no benefit for one leagues players over another so pricing will remain the same.

The FAQ will be updated so you can check which matches will be eligible for I will also list them here.

Competitions ineligible for assist points:
DFB Pokal
Coppa Italia
Copa del Rey
FA Cup
League Cup
Europa League
Champions League pre group phase

Sorry about any confusion or disappointment caused

Oh well, too bad about the data provider. It was working fine last season so I'm surprised the data provider doesn't collect the data this year (or is it a different data provider?). I hope you find a good data provider for next year!

Thanks for the hard work and awesome job Matt

So why can't you just add them manually like you removed Puyol's points?    Either fix everything or leave everything

That's wierd that colletction thing insn't working, but its cool cause I never get assist points anyways

That really sucks, I hope they can get this rectified

I think this will end up making the DF league much closer, which is a good thing. It's a pity it happened but its completely unavoidable and hopefully everyone understands that. The staff at footytube not only make Dreamfooty but we play it and are obsessed with it, so we're as affected as everyone else is

I am surprised like hithere that it worked last year not this year. Its certainly disappointing but its the same for everybody so its still all fair

Ant is right.... It will make it closer and that is good.... Also its the same for all of us so no biggie...

Thanks anyway!

Good move. Enough with easy points. Those lazy bastards with their girly passes better take charge and start scoring a few goals themselves.

Just kidding of course. We rarely get the chance to thank these guys for the work they do.

As Ant said these guys are clearly crazier than us when it comes to everything footy. If they let this go it means that it was not possible to do it, after all. (That and their devious plan to pick at low cost players who suck at assists, but are good at everything else so they can stick it to the rest of us.completely unmasked now.)

Well it always been down to the goas scored in the real game, why not make it the same way! That all that matters in a game anyway (well in the end)

So mangers are affected too right? So if managers sub in someone who assists, that doesn't count either?

From FAQ under "Managers":
Make a substitution who then performs an assist +5pts per assist

Actually it isn't completely fair, but I guess we don't have any alternative, so we'll have to live with it.

[For example, it isn't fair because someone could have bought a player because he is good at assisting (e. G: Fabregas). Also, now defenders are technically worth "more" because GKs and Defenders lost nothing from their points category while the midfielders and attackers did. ]

I'm just proving a point! Please don't get mad!

Will you eventually be able to fix these problems?

Was just wondering how this would effect the managers? Do will still get the points if a sub scores but not if they get the assist in the named competitions
