That's right, with all the selection carnage I punted on Jota as an attacking move... and he just missed a goal my nan would've tucked away. Not my game week it appears...
If a GK parries a shot, it's still credited as an assist in FPL.
Also, if there's a small deflection by a player that doesn't change the direction of an intended pass in the box, the assist stands.
Sportal assists have to be clean though. No other player can touch it in between.
