Fantasy Football Scout will be releasing six Members Articles free to the public this weekend.

We have taken the opportunity of the international break to do some in-depth research into the underlying data from the first eight Gameweeks of the season.

Using that, we will be tackling some of the key current talking points in FPL in six different articles across Saturday and Sunday.

For those two days, these particular articles will be free for all to view, regardless of whether or not the reader is a paid-up Fantasy Football Scout Member or not.

Of course, existing Members will be able to view the content as usual.

Make sure you stay tuned this week for more information on what these articles will contain.

    Bernard passed eye test.
    Wolves looked like they didn’t concede as CPY were duff so perhaps not so many clean sheets in future as everyone thinks.

      They aren't going to keep clean sheets forever, but they have let in ridiculously few goals so far this season. Defenders still good value imo

      But their defenders are cheap and the team looks way tighter at the back than the likes of Fulham, Cardiff etc. Patricio/Doherty/Jonny all great options or even Bennett if your budget is restricted.

          That is genuinely tough. Go with a coin toss on that one. Salah does give you a captaincy option so maybe stick with b.

            Yep, captaincy is a big consideration. I'd likely captain Salah so option b has potentially a higher ceiling. Thanks for the input

                I’ve got two free transfers and 0.1m ITB.

                I’m thinking of doing Jorginho to Obiang and saving a transfer.

                I have 2FT. Should I do Ings to Wilson tonight because of price rise and save second transfer for later? Looking to get TAA and sell Pereira.

                  I got TAA in on the wildcard before City match. Slightly concerned now on his game time after the no show.

                  He has been poor lately and been exposed in most of Liverpool’s recent fixtures defensively.

                  Ings looked lively against Chelsea but Wilson is getting points and despite what the ticker says i think Bournemouth have better fixtures. Ings dropping and Wilson rising, go for it.

                  night all, currently preferring my #3 above as it seems Salah, Aguero and Lacazette isn't really possible. Mane over Salah makes it work though! Just think Salah has the potential to explode

                  On a wildcard, the only LFC players I have are Robertson and TAA - although thinking of shipping TAA due to uncertainty.

                  Worth getting in either Salah or Mané?

                    This the problem why I decided to delay using my wc. Have no idea which Pool assets to get besides Robbo. And Lacazette seems to be the only player rising .2 so problems with choosing correct playerd in other areas also.

                      I knew I was going to Wildcard this week. The reason I’ve done it now is to ensure I get any potential players at their lowest cost.

                      TAA was a possibility, so I signed him as no other potential player I want is rising any time soon.

                      Same for Murray and Maddison - close to rising so bringing both in while I think about it.
