The Community Round-Up

Strikers took centre stage among our Hot Topic posters this week as the community keeps its fingers crossed that January’s transfer dealings improve the pool of forward options.

Price changes, patience in the transfer market and a spot of Scoutcast magic are also covered in our discussions, while our community scribes focus on the Premier League’s manager merry-go-round and the best players over the last 15 years.

We finish off with a look at the latest from our Members’ table constructors and our community competitions.

The Community Articles

With 15 years worth of Fantasy Premier League dream team data at hand, Wesmantooth has been delving through the archives to pinpoint key strategies for success and look at those players vying for an elite end of season listing this time around.

Meanwhile, FPL Virgin has been looking at how a new boss can help or hinder a Premier League team’s chances of success, given seven clubs have already decided to part company with their manager this season.

Among those to make a change at the top is Stoke City, who look set for a rough evening on Monday when they travel to Old Trafford according to Hutch_James’ latest canvassing of ‘the crowd’.

Top Marx has been named community writer of December following this week’s vote. A £20 Amazon voucher is on his way to him.

The Hottest Topics

The community’s attacking line-ups are in flux, according to our Hot Topic on strikers, as Fantasy managers eagerly await third-forward prospects to emerge in the January transfer window.

Another factor driving the desire to make changes up top is that Sergio Aguero now looks largely rotation-free due to the injury to team-mate Gabriel Jesus.

The Sky Blues striker certainly looks in fine form, says Wet Dream in his discussion on the Argentinian. But Doosra’s latest fixture analysis, as delivered by G-Whizz, advises waiting on transferring him in until after his tricky away match at Liverpool this weekend.

There was evidence that being cautious in the transfer market can reap rewards in our latest Live Hall of Fame update, as one of FPL’s most patient ever managers makes a return to the top three.

However, Mei you shagua warns against being too reticent when making transfers after losing points by sticking with Dele Alli and Leroy Sane over their barren run of games.

Patience may also prove a virtue for those that clung onto Reds winger Mohamed Salah during his recent injury lay-off.

Our discussion on FPL’s transfer market details how the Egyptian, who is set to return to action at Anfield this Sunday, confounded price change predictions by retaining his full 10.1 value over his short break, much to the annoyance of the 649,000 FPL managers who have shipped him out over the last two weeks.

Last season’s FPL winner Ben Crabtree is another not overly pleased by Salah, with his Liverpool player ban proving far less successful this time around thanks to the African Player of the Year’s relentless scoring form. Following Ben’s latest musings on his season,  FPL Virgin sparked a discussion on whether this former champion should rethink his heart over head policy regarding Liverpool assets.

With the second FPL Wildcard now available, we canvassed the community’s views on which players deserve a place in a revamped side.

Stoke players are unlikely to grace many Wildcard drafts due to a dire run of form that ultimately cost their boss Mark Hughes his job. But with an impending change of management and a strong run of fixtures, we pondered whether Potters assets may just be worth looking at.

Chelsea and Arsenal also have strong schedules, but with patchy form for some of their key players the community is also reluctant to invest heavily according to our Hot Topic on their players.

Finally, eagle-eyed Scoutcast viewers spotted a moment of magic in this week’s show involving a glass of water travelling 150 miles across four English counties within a second.

The Community Tournaments

My Pretty Pony is on the look-out for at least six other community regulars to take part in the inaugural FFScout charity football event. Some 16 Fantasy managers have already signed up for the event, which takes place on February 24.

Elsewhere, Speedyboyz dropped by with the latest from the Community Watch tournament, which in Matchweek 15 features a number of key battles at the top and bottom of the table.

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

    Aguero or Morata for CAPTAIN?

    1. aleksios
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Morata

      1. stamboy
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Agree

    2. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Morata for this week. He got unlucky lately because of the opponent (Arsenal)

    3. FPL Ultras
      • 6 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      Morata managed to lose 3 easy goals against gunners (disappointed all of us) but he has easier fixture this week than Aguero. What to do?

      1. Thinkering like a Boss
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        What your gut feeling tell you?

        1. FPL Ultras
          • 6 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Aguero maybe?

    4. Prestige_Worldwide
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      I captained Morata the 2 GW prior to the DGW only to watch him miss all his one on ones, most frustrated I’ve been this season

  2. My heart goes Salalalalah

    6 years, 2 months ago

    Anyone thinking Kane will put 2 past Everton? Will it be a high scoring match? Or take a punt on Lingard(C)?

    1. Licious Lizard (delete acc)
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Kane will score a goal or two.

      • Thinkering like a Boss
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        1 or 2 goal for Hurricane!

      • AnderEstimatedHerrera
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Everton gonna park a bus there. Don't think a big score is coming. Maximum of 1 goal for Kane

        1. Old Man
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Agreed

      • Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Kane can only score 2 goals at a time, and I doubt Everton will let him score two, so the captaincy is going on Son for me 😉 Everton only concede to mids and he has the best home form of an player in the league arguably.

        1. ASAP Rocky
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 2 months ago

          Lol!

      • runny
        • 6 Years
        6 years, 2 months ago

        Kane's put two past Everton in each of the past two fixtures..... so he's got good vibes!

    2. aleksios
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 2 months ago

      a) Go with triple Spurs (Son-Alli-Kane) and save ft.

      b) Alli to Salah for free.

      Thanks.

      1. Licious Lizard (delete acc)

          Bottomed and need your help 🙂

          Moreno or TAA?

          Won’t play him this week, but need to burn a transfer
          Alons, Ota, Mee, Kenny, %Holgate%

          Thanks!

          1. aleksios
            • 8 Years

            TAA

            1. Licious Lizard (delete acc)
                6 years, 2 months ago

                Thanks. You think he will get enough minutes? Only 0.2m cheaper than Moreno

                1. stamboy
                  • 10 Years
                  6 years, 2 months ago

                  Probably go Moreno as think will play more

                  1. Licious Lizard (delete acc)
                      6 years, 2 months ago

                      Yeah, but TAA get’s truckloads of points when he actually plays 😉

                • 7 Years

                    6 years, 2 months ago

                          Hmm ok cheers. Think I would rather go with one of the Liverpool boys - more upside

                  No replies last time,
                  Bolasie or Lallana from next week as a punt?

                  1. stamboy
                    • 10 Years
                    6 years, 2 months ago

                    Lallana based on fixtures but is he a certain starter? Prefer to wait or spend my cash elsewhere

                    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
                      • 7 Years
                      6 years, 2 months ago

                      True, need someone up to 7.7 to fund Alonso to Christensen

                  2. Licious Lizard (delete acc)
                      6 years, 2 months ago

                      I wrote a reply, but didn’t answer 😉

                      Too soon to tell i think. Also with Ramsey back soon, we’ll have even more interesting mid price mids than we currently have

                        • 10 Years
                        6 years, 2 months ago

                        Agree, wait. Who are you getting rid of? Would help if we found see your whole team

                            Not getting rid of a mid this week. Just partaking in the discussion.

                          6 years, 2 months ago

                          Yes Ramsey is better prospect imo

                        3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔

                          Agree 100%

                        • 7 Years
                        6 years, 2 months ago

                        The one that gets most minutes

                          6 years, 2 months ago

                          Very true
                          or I could forget Alonso and do Alli to Mahrez

                        • 6 Years
                        6 years, 2 months ago

                        Lallana - based on his fixtures! But at 7.3 it is a gamble.

                        You are 20,000 in the world - so just go with your gut, obviously, it's been working so far 😉

                      Captain Kane or Morata?
                      Feel like Morata is due a big haul and it might come tomorrow.

                          6 years, 2 months ago

                          No.
                          Just captain the best striker in the league, who’s in great form. Nailed for 90 mins and explosive. Better fixture. And highly owned

                            Only option without a major overhaul is to downgrade a striker. Personally I would ditch Kane in the short term and get Firmino and then Son to Saleh

                            1. stamboy
                              • 10 Years

                              Don't change until after this week though!

                                No I'm hoping to save FT next week and then get him for free with 2 transfers the week after

                                  6 years, 2 months ago

                                  Ok as I said then. Kane and Son out, Firmino and Saleh in

                                    How much would that leave you with to improve your bench?

                                      Don’t get rid of Kane.
                                      I would rather do as below

                                Next week: Son + Lanzini -> Salah and RLC perhaps.
                                Then rotate RLC with 4th def

                                      Look at my next post underneath. I actually recommended yours.

                                      Regardless, I don’t think otamendi is going to be looked at in the same way once stones is back 1m cheaper.

                                      I’m dirching Kane for his tougher fixtures and having Aguero and Morata. Bringing Kane back in after.

                                      Kane fixtures:
                                      EVE, Sou, MUN, liv, ARS
                                      Vs
                                      Morata
                                      LEI, bri, BOU, wat, WBA

                                      A temporary change could easily pay off.

                                          I actually agree with you on Otamendi.
                                          But I disagree with you on Kane at this point. Too many uncertainties about Aguero and Morata is just too poor.
                                          Kane will score enough that the two transfers + value won’t be worth it imo.

                                    Eriksen and niasse to kun and Ibe for free?. Can downgrade kun later. Also ibes stats are as good, if not better than Eriksens? Good moves?

                                      Don't touch Eriksen now imo, as a midfielder with lots of shots out of the box he has a really good chance against Everton.

                                        Eriksen has same amount of shots outside the box over last four as ibe, I've had had 7 more shots in the box

                                    had Pogba (c) all week.

                                    Now with all the polls of Kane (c) running away the popularity votes; feels alittle uneasy

                                        You should.
                                        Kane is the best option this week imo, although a bit boring/safe.
                                        Great form, good fixture, nailed on for 90, explosive and highly owned.
                                        Pogba is riskier even thigh the fixture is better. He could play deep again.

                                          Owning Pog is a good differential. Go with Kane.

                                            now you made me think about this captaincy in a different light.

                                            Kane (c) is really very safe, even if he blanks as many would captain him too.

                                            Owning Pogba is already a differential itself, so no captaincy is required?

                                        Morning all,
                                        1) Should I leave double chelsea defence against Leicester...?
                                        2) Should I look to ship out Alli, and if so who for?

                                          Yes. Always play heavy hitting defenders at home to mid table sides (or sell them).

                                        Why people are captaning Kane? I mean I do have him and have captained recently, but didn't West Ham game show us that he is not a reliable option against buses?

                                          But against Southampton and Burnley....

                                          1. AnderEstimatedHerrera
                                            • 7 Years
                                            6 years, 2 months ago

                                            Both had massive injuries in defence. Southampton was like a pub team in that game. But Everton have been considerably solid with BS.

                                        2. how now brown cow

                                          Maybe 26 goals in 27 games this season?

                                          Who else would you captain then?

                                        I am on a wildcard. I need a 2nd choice goalkeeper and a 5th defender. What combo would you go for?

                                                Is Dummet nailed? He didn't start the last game.

                                                  I think easing him back after long term layoff. Do ask others.
                                                  Wimmer if you think Stoke can take advantage of good fixtures??

                                                    I think Wimmer may end up dropped. I agree Dummet is the better bet. I might get Dunmett and a 4m keeper and make keep an eye on a keeper trade for the blanks (Courtois number 1).

                                                Would argue a playing gk is more important than a playing 5th defender. Perhaps a 3.9 def and Adrian?

                                                  Mbemba and Adrian was my current 2 (I also worry about Adrian losing his place).

                                            Dont need one. Kane is better every aspect statistically

                                                  That home form though... Plus Everton have not conceded to a striker since GW13 I think it was

                                                      How So? He is a classic centre forward in my eyes

                                                        Lukaku, Lloriente would be a classic no.9...Kane is a hybrid imo

                                                        Anyway everton is without Keane

                                            Who here does NOT have Lingard? Is the hype really worth it for one solid game out of the next three?

                                            I'm trying to talk myself out of switching Grob (got him 5.4) to Lingard on a FT this week and then maybe Ramsey long-term.

                                            What are your Lingard long-term thoughts?

                                              It's also about a lack of other Utd attacking options.

                                              I dont have becuase there is no space in my midfield
                                              I cant have him anyway due to restrictions 😮

                                              I'm hoping he crashes and burns long-term as I don't really have any way of getting him in. He could continue as he's done so far however. Ramsey interests me for sure.

                                            Is Kane the only best captain option??? Or Salah / Alonso be a good differential??? What do you guys think??

                                                Kane is the best option to this week.
                                                Salah is just back from injury and perhaps won’t play 90. Tough fixture, but very consistent and more point per goal.
                                                Alonso no, as I don’t think they will keep clean.
                                                Kane is in good form, good fixture, highly involved in team’s goals, nailed on for 90, explosive, high EO.

                                                I was thinking about ALONSO as a differential captain yesterday...think it could pay off

                                                  Definitely worth considering

                                                Kane safe. Lingard could also work.

                                                Sterling is a decent punt. Just look at his last 4 game week points when he starts... 12, 13, 11 and 9. Pretty solid!

                                                  I am thinking Elliot will get 6 points with no bonus points but Pope strong chance of save points....struggle to see Palace not scoring

                                                Burnley has nice away form recently, plus Swansea may have a new manager boost
                                                The last one is a toss up imo as they both perform sporadically. I think they'll both end up on two points in all honesty.

                                                  Worth considering otamendi to stones. Shaq too inconsistent. Forget Walcott.

                                                        In that case get rid of Ali and Son. How much would that leave you with after buying Saleh?

                                                Hey guys. Been contemplating what to do all week. Thoughts?:

                                                Elliot
                                                Jones - Christensen - ZANKA
                                                Lingard - Son - Salah - Sterling
                                                Kane - Firmino - Depoitre
                                                (Adrian - COUTINHO - Ogbonna - KENNY)

                                                A) COUTINHO and ZANKA to Alonso and Arnautovic (-4)
                                                B) COUTINHO and KENNY to Alonso and Arnautovic (-4)
                                                C) Save the FT
                                                D) Other suggestion

                                                  Couts and zanka looks better to me

                                                  Cout to to cheapie, Zanka to Alonso IF it leave cash next week for Firminio to Aguero

                                                    The mid would have to be super cheap - I'd be left with 4.9m! Then stuck with them and Depoitre. Hmm...

                                                    Why not do Cout to Arnie this week and then figure out the other transfer next week for free?

                                                    1. JabbaWookiee

                                                      6 years, 2 months ago

                                                      Was considering that but then drop who got this week? Depoitre? This kind of fixture was the entire reason I got him in.

                                                      1. Licious Lizard (delete acc)

                                                          Still think Arnie is a better shout + nice fixtures coming up.
                                                          I am annoyed that I have to bench Depoitre as well this week, but he may not even start.

                                                          1. JabbaWookiee

                                                            There is that. And tbf I shouldn't let past decisions rule future ones. Would like to have two juicy FTs next week though I think. ALTHOUGH likelihood seems one of them will be Arnie. Depending on the revelations of the coming days which may be worth waiting for.

                                                                Sure I get that.

                                                        Is Couthino price protected forever now?

                                                          Was wondering that myself. Looking at fplstats he's been 0.0 for days now so it would seem so. Personally even if not I wouldn't lose anything with another 0.1 drop.

                                                            I have him but don't want to transfer out this week for a hit so waiting

                                                      Morata (C) against makeshift leicester defence . Thoughts?

                                                      Amartey Dragovic Maguire Fuchs.

                                                      Dont think these guys have played together this season so bound to be defensive lapses

                                                        Do it. Morata will be hungry. I am just happy to own this week. He owns us owners quite a few points!

                                                        Defences dont seem to be Moratas problem, hes one on one and missing

                                                      What would happen if you started up a cash mini-league and invited people from all around the world to play via Fantasy Football Scout. Say 200 people for $30 each, so $6000 all up, and just took the money with no payouts?
