The Community Round Up

New faces to the Premier League, both on the pitch and in the dugout, come under discussion among our hot topic posters this week. There is also still plenty of chat about Euro 2016, with tournament winners, card magnets and top performers the main issues of interest. Members have also been busy gathering the best statistics so far during the tournament and with the quarter-finals now in full swing, we also catch up on the current leaders of our Euro 2016 community tournaments.

The Community Articles

For those already looking for the next challenge in management, Balders dropped by with his guide to the Fantasy Tour de France game that starts this weekend.

Don’t forget, if you’ve got some analysis, scout reports or features brewing, be sure to visit our community section to submit your article.

The Hottest Topics

Eric Bailly has become the latest recruit to the Premier League after signing for Jose Mourinho’s Manchester United. The Ivory Coast international looks to be the prime candidate to partner Chris Smalling in defence, prompting us to ask for your views on his prospects and those of the other new faces to the English top flight.

Among 2016/17’s new managerial appointments, Antonio Conte at Chelsea is attracting considerable interest, in particular among those such as Berbinho’s Forehead ,who are in search of Premier League clean sheets. Conte’s impressive management of the Italy side during Euro 2016 is giving many cause for optimism. One of his imminent new signings, Belgian international Michy Batshuayi, is also garnering attention, from Somalian among others.

With the tournament’s quarter-finals now underway, Slavic Madrista canvassed the community’s views on which country will win Euro 2016. Balders, meanwhile, has been keeping a close eye on the tournament’s suspension tightrope to highlight those players who are a booking away from missing out on a semi-final berth should their team progress. The community also gave their views on the players that are likely to make their tournament dream XI.

The Members Tables

Belgium’s attacking threat came under the watchful gaze of Camp no no’s latest table as well as the most recent statistics from Bowstring92 this week. This will also prove interesting reading for those considering drafting in the Red Devils’ key Premier League stars at the start of the 2016/17 campaign, such as Eden Hazard. Staying with Euro 2016, I’ve also tweaked my set piece specialists table to show who the tournament’s most successful corner takers and free kick takers are so far.

If you’re a member and are yet to get to grips with the custom statistics tables, you can view this movie for an explanation of how they work. Also, remember to tag them so that people can find the tables with ease.

The Community Tournaments

Going into tonight’s quarter-final Milanista topped the FFScout official Uefa Euro 2016 game. Meanwhile, in the FFScout moderators and contributors league Greenwindmill continues to lead, closely followed by Andy85wsm.

If you are running a community tournament and would like the latest scores included in future Community Round Ups please email me a brief summary of the current leaders and a link to your league, spreadsheet or head to head competition, at jonty@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk.

    4 transfers of my 6 automatically used up! Team requires a bit of surgery now...

    Rambo suspension hasn't helped matters either!!

    Rui Patricio - Lloris
    Hector - Giaccherini - Umtiti - Koscielny - (*Meunier*)
    Draxler - Payet - Renato - (*Hazard*) - (*Ramsey*)
    CR7 - Greizmann - (*Lukaku*)

      1. Ten Season Wonder
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        It all came down to a penalty kick. otherwise I could be looking at CR7 & Renato out as well.

        Very fine lines.

    Liverpool had more players at Euro 2016 than any other club. An Italy win tomorrow means Joe Allen has gone furthest of the lot. Joe Allen

    more that just a welsh pirlo 🙂

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      France wins.

    2. George Sillett

      Italy.

          • 8 Years

          Probably took longer than you thought . If it comes down to tactics Italy go through for me.

            Yeah fair enough. Been impressed by them so far but I think Spain were being bigged up far too much before that Italy game, Germany is the first real test for them. France would be the second real test.

    3. Däzzy

    1 million men killed in the battle of the Sommer. Staggering .
    Supremely gave men fighting for their respective countries.

    1. the axolotl
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      we are massively blessed to live in such a time as this, despite everyone complaining incessantly about it. imagine walking out over a trench and being mown down. fook that!

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        My grandfather fought in the second world war and to hear him speak about it near the end of his life was very sobering.
        Perspective is a great thing.

        1. the axolotl
          • 12 Years

          And mofarah is a homegrown Olympian apparently. Andy Murray is when he's winning. Suprised Yous don't try as claim Conor McGregor. Also very few Englishman play for England. Also what is classed as English? Someone who was born there? Parents from there? People pick what they are these days hardly matters.. Critically owned, goodnight sir

  12. Fergietime

  14. Klopp's Kids

    Giaccherini or Hector captain? Only 3 pts separate the two.

    1. Hypnos
      • 9 Years

      jack has the greater points potential

      Anyone?

        Hector or gomez for me ....

  17. gazza0088
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Captain Giacharini or Draxler tomorrow?

    (Lloris, Umtiti, Sagna, Payet, Griez to play on Sunday)

  18. Sillet Bang
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 10 months ago

    Hector Muller Ozil Kroos or Neuer captain?

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Juve are in a position where they can keep him, but saying no to £94m is silly. Verratti would cost half that and is arguably better than Pogba.

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        How did this end up here?

      2. Zasa
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Agreed, Neuer captain for sure

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years

    Pogba going to Man United?

    1. KingNidge
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      In the hunt for sure but with Real lurking it's always difficult

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 10 months ago

      Source ? . I hear it was Madrid or bust

      1. KingNidge
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 10 months ago

        Bookies have United favourites

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 10 months ago

          Bookies odds only become relevant in the final hours before the transfer is completed imo .

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            A load of money usually goes on a player and the bookies stop betting as a result .

            1. KingNidge
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 10 months ago

              Odd on joining United have been slashed in recent days which would indicate they have recieved a fair amount of money on that.. sure not a one horse race.. like i said it will be difficult to pull of with Real in the hunt also

                1. KingNidge
                  • 8 Years
                  7 years, 10 months ago

                  Must have had a flurry of bets on that move too

                  1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
                    • 13 Years
                    7 years, 10 months ago

                    It might be based on the fact that the bookies know Pogba is on the move and United are looking to rebuild under Mourinho . He is also the type of player Mourinho likes . It could be everything or it could be nothing . L'Equipe have also linked United with a move . I would not read too much into it

                    1. KingNidge
                      • 8 Years
                      7 years, 10 months ago

                      Not reading too much into it mate just certain that a player of that quality is available and we will be interested and have the finances to afford it.

          2. Zasa
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 10 months ago

            Aye, waiting to see some more reports by Di Marzio

          • 13 Years

          haha true but i wouldn't captain anyone from tomorrows match, unless your chosen captain today flopped. I'll leave it on Hazard for now, tomorrows game wont be high scoring at all i reckon.

              ahhh ok, yeah Neuer is a decent shout, i'd rather rely on any possible attacking returns though, one goal past him and its over, more chance with Gomez of points returns.

    I have Draxler and Muller as attacking options tomorrow but I think I fancy putting the captain on a def. Would you go for:

    A) Giaccherini
    B) Hector

    Seen a few posts expecting FPL to open soon.

    Did FPL not release a few teaser prices of players last year a few days ahead of the launch?...I seem to remember something of that sort...

      Yes they tweeted some iirc

        Yeah...I thought they did. Looked like a way of re-awakening interest before the launch. It was a good idea and I see no reason why they shouldn't repeat it.
