vasilli07 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 My player has won two pks and was scored by another player. The player who was fouled is not given any assist. Is this something that is changed in FM18? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jere_d Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Sure it's always been like this on fm. For some reason winning fks and pens don't earn you assists. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Correct. No change for FM18, it was always like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cris182 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I am pretty sure as recently as FM17 i was getting assists for winning penalties. Happy to be proven wrong but i assumed this was a new change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vasilli07 Posted December 31, 2017 Author Share Posted December 31, 2017 Yes, that was what I remember too. Or maybe I'm getting some memory loss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Nope. I'm still playing FM2017, and you never get assists for winning penalties. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miravlix Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I think assist flagging is broken in FM18, I have seen the wrong player credited with assists (not fixed in 18.2.1, even if some patch note said so). My last game had my striker shooting and hitting the bar and the rebound resulted in another player scored, but my defender got credit for an assist. The assist on pen seems to use a rule set we can't figure out, because sometimes pen is an assist and sometimes it's not. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 In real life, if my shot is off target but it's deflected into goal by the opposition (i.e. it's an own goal), do I get an assist? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSleeper Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 In earlier fm's (before fm17) I'm 100% sure u would get an assist if a player won a pk. It has been removed since u don't get an assist in real life either I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewhirst Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Are they credited with an assist when it's an own goal? If not, they should be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the official records, as far as I know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant speak for all versions, but I am 100% that on at least fm 14 you got an assist on penalties. I looked up in fm 17, and you dont get assist from penalties there, so somewhere along the road SI changed it up Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not played all the versions, but in the ones I have, you don't get assists. Most notably, in FM17 you certainly don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit annoying but hopefully someone knows why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LewisQ Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'm still playing FM 10 and I can confirm that the player who wins the penalty is credited with the assist, unless, I think, he then scores the penalty himself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuelawachie Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 In FM 2014, the player who wins the penalty will be credited with an assist if it's scored. If this has changed, then it's in more recent versions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danchinaski Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 I think it was there in FM16. I'm glad it was removed tbh, as the assist led to a spike in the player rating if the penalty was scored, yet no increase in rating if the penalty was missed. This basically meant the match rating of player X (the player who was pushed in the box while challenging for a set piece which saw a penalty awarded) would significantly and misleadingly increase (or not) due to the actions of player Y (the actual penalty taker).
