The first international break of the 2018/19 season gave the Fantasy Football Scout community (and its writers!) an opportunity to catch a breath or two.
But while some Fantasy managers have decided to take a rest from all things FPL, the FFS community continues to busy itself by fighting the good fight.
Yet again we can bring you a Community Round-up full of all the latest hot topics and tables carefully and methodically worked on by our users and members in the past week.
The Hottest Topics
Going into the international break, Rhinos waded into the Mohamed Salah debate by offering us the pros and cons of retaining the services of Liverpool’s talismanic Egyptian.
Rossi3254 also had their say on Salah as part of a premium midfielders analysis, while Liverpool’s upcoming schedule also gets a mention as Shawcus outlined his approach of form over fixtures.
This fortnight hiatus from FPL was itself the focus of discussion, with talk ranging from the interest in international football to transfer plans over the coming week or so.
Legomane looked at the death of bench fodder, while Jafooli explored how to build a Wildcard team around two heavy-hitting captain choices.
Ed highlighted the threat of Son Heung-min on Lucas Moura’s starting spot, meanwhile. Another early-season star – Watford’s Jose Holebas – was the focus of Smurf‘s Hot Topic.
Irbox has been watching All or Nothing – and has a few FPL thoughts based on what he’s seen.
The appeal of Arsenal’s assets was also the source of some debate on Friday.
Finally, we had some excellent suggestions this week about our regular articles and on how to improve the Members’ Area – keep those thoughts coming in throughout the season.
Community Tables
There was more quality custom table creation going on this week, some of which are listed below:
- thijmen1411 looked at attack-minded defenders…
- …as well as forwards priced at £8.0m or below…
- …and midfielders in the same price bracket.
- Brandonaw also pinpointed the defenders with a real goal threat.
- sun-jihai focused on under-the-radar FPL assets.
Keep your tables coming in for inclusion in our weekly round-up, with a title and description always appreciated to explain the purpose of the statistical analysis.
Community Tournaments
Cosmin Rotaru is the new leader of our public Fantasy Football Scout mini-league after playing Bench Boost in Gameweek 1, Triple Captain in Gameweek 3 and Wildcard in Gameweek. His overall rank is now 30 in a first ever season of FPL.
Nick Howard still leads our Fantasy Football Scout Members League but has slipped to 85th in the overall rankings, having played his Bench Boost and Wildcard in earlier Gameweeks. This is his eighth FPL season, but he has never finished in the top 300k.
RedLightning still leads FFS Mods & Cons but has slipped to 406th overall. This is his tenth FPL season and he has had two top 4k finishes. Like Andrew, he has not yet played any chips.
Andrew Garland still leads RedLightning‘s Top 10k Any Season league and rises to 110th overall. This is his sixth season and his highest previous finish was 5986th in 2016/17. He has not yet played any chips.
