The Community Round-up: Website remains busy during international break

The Fantasy Football Scout community haven’t relented in their efforts despite us entering the dead zone that is the international break.

Early transfers were a source of discussion, along with premium strikers and Liverpool defenders.

Our latest Community Round-up feature also looks over the various tournaments and mini-leagues that involve FFS users.

The Hottest Topics

Brazilian pair Bernard and Kenedy were two of the names mentioned in Gregor‘s “eye test” as the Community began the week by looking back at Gameweek 8.

With those matches out of the way, we asked whether you were pushing the button early on your Fantasy transfers or waiting till the FPL assets in question were back from international duty.

Bullet Eder asked if we should go without a premium striker this season, while ZoumasBloomers switched focus to the defence and wondered if doubling up on the Liverpool backline is worth a gamble.

Taking stock has been in order over this international break, too.

Deulofail asked for your season by numbers, while WesManTooth and Jealous Viper wanted to hear your biggest delights and most lamentable regrets of 2018/19.

Pierce34 challenged the FFS community to beat his captain score for the season, meanwhile.

Community Tables

Here is just a small selection of the excellent array of public tables created this week and available in the Members’ area

Remember, to see your table featured here (if that’s what you want!) please ensure you include a description explaining the purpose of it.

Community Tournaments

Brayden McCullough still leads our public Fantasy Football Scout League but has slipped to second overall after three Gameweeks at number one.

Luke Aiello is the new leader in our Fantasy Football Scout Members League and has also regained the lead in RedLightning‘s Top 10k Any Season mini-league. He played his Wildcard in Gameweek 7 and is now up to 28th overall. He has had two previous top 10k finishes (6,621st in 2014/15 and 2,759th in 2016/17).

RedLightning still leads the FFS Mods & Cons mini-league, with Chris Atkinson (RMT’s Professor) now in second place.

FFS user Lawrø has created a new community tournament which he describes as “similar to Community Watch but shorter.” Find out more about it HERE.

We’d like to remind our readers that it is not too late to sign up to the Fantasy Football Scout Charity Cup taking place on Saturday November 17. Find out more about it HERE.

    If no injuries next week is anything worth a hit with this team?

    Schmeichel
    Trippier TAA Cook Alonso
    Mane Moura Son Hazard
    Mitrovic Aguero

    Stekelenburg Maddison AWB Kamara

    0.3 ITB & 0 FT

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Looks fine, though I'd consider playing Maddison ahead of Cook

    2. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not worth, but reassess double up on Spurs MFs with so many options

    3. paullufc17
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Richarlison in next transfer, probably not worth a hit

  2. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    How it look for the next GW (not upcoming):

    Monreal Walcott Kane => TAA KDB Laca

    ?

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      if KDB starts, decent move... vardy could be better than lacazette

      1. Lucky Z
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Yes also thinking on Vardy

    2. Kragbaek
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn’t touch TAA right now

  3. SpaceCadet
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Would you make these moves for a double hit? Potentially long term moves so could pay off?

    kane salah holebas > kun mane taa

    1. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Wait on Salah news

    2. GianniBanani
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I would leave Salah

  4. Christina.
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Glad I don't own Salah.

    Man's leg fell off.

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Before your eyes or in your dreams..?
      At least the sellers should have the option of a 12.6-7 buy back, or continue to enjoy team balance without the anchor weight of Mo.

    2. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Haha.... At least it's a leg worth 12.9 million... That's a lot of options to think about this week....

      Happy Days! Better looking at, than looking for.....

  5. Rash
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Not that I like seeing anyone get injured but salah going off maybe just what I needed to finally sell him.

    1. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Could be disastrous for early purchasers this wk, without a WC. Stories emerging of early -4's and -8's all over Twitter. Shame. Hope he's fine as a non owner (yet) for GW9 personally.

      1. Rash
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Nom owners are the real winners here.

        1. Gregor

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Unless you were thinking of bringing him in and he ‘does a Fraser!’

          1. Rash
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            Imagine!

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Nom nom nom

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

        Yes - the more hits the merrier but I am surprised if people taking them this early in the game week.

  6. TaiwanHC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    If Salah is out, I will have the exact funds to do:

    Trippier + Salah + Ings —> Robertson + KDB + Lacazette (-4)

    What do you guys think?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Looks good but wait on Salah news

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

      If Salah is out and KDB is guaranteed back then yes. although Lazazette's fixtures stiffen up quite soon.

  7. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Play:

    A) Ings (bou)
    B) Maddison (ars)

    1. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Ings I think

    2. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Tough call, wouldn't want to bench either. Quite interesting on comparison tool Xstats and Attempts would sway me

    3. Kragbaek
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      I’m on Ings. Even placed Wan-B before Maddy on the bench

  8. Jinswick
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    If Salah is out for more than 1 week it’s either Sterling/Mane coming in. If it’s likely just 1 week then what would you go for here?

    A) Bench Salah & start Maddison
    B) Bench Salah & Wan-B -> Bennett (5-2-3)
    C) Salah -> Mane/Sterling (possibly a 1 week gamble)

    Edison
    Alonso, TAA, Doherty, ASmith
    Salah, Hazard, Richarlison
    Aguero, Arnie, King

    Stek, Maddison, Wan-B, Hudson
    Bank 0.1m, 1FT, WC available

    1. Gregor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Start Maddison, keep for Cardiff.

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      A

    Thhinking about Wildcarding ..

    Transfers
    Monreal to TAA

    Views about this??

    1. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Would hold fire on the wild card 1 or 2 transfers could have you sorted

  10. Rash
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    With salah now potentially out my bench does not look appealing.

    Couple options that u could make later on in the week..

    A. Salah to sterling (only man city player)
    B. Tomkins to Jonny (triple wolves)
    C. Something else

    Fab
    Doherty Alonso Bennett
    Salah* mane hazard Fraser

      A

  11. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Salah's "injury" was probably planned between himself and Jurgen.

  12. Mr. Jenkins
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Fab/Foster
    Alonso, TAA, Doherty, Wan-B, Bednarek
    Salah, Hazard, Son, Richarlison, Fraser
    Agüero, Wilson, Ings

    2FT, 1M ITB.

    Salah news has me worried and i will await further news.

    Planned moves was Son and bednarek out.

    Planning Agüero to Arnie and Ings to Mitro or Lacazette if his form continues.
    If Salah is injured it'll be Salah Ings and bednarek out for hopefully KDB, Robertson and Mitrovic then move Mitro to Arnie when fixtures stiffens.

    1. Mr. Jenkins
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Thoughts?

    Morning. RMWCT please

    Fab 4.0
    Jonny AWB Mendy TAA Alonso
    Salah hazard Dilva Maddison Sigurdsson
    Arnautovic Mitrovic Jimenez

    Or Would you replace Dilva and Jimenez with De Bruyne and 4.4 fodder

  14. I Member
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    How's my WC team looking fellas?

    Patricio
    Alonso, Robertson, Doherty
    Hazard, Sterling, Richarlison, Fraser
    Aguero, Firmino, Mitrovic

    Hamer; Kenedy, Balbuena, Wan-Bissaka.

    If Salah is available Sterling and Firmino become Salah and Arnie/Wilson.

    1. Totally J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty good actually

    2. Balls of Steel
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Very nice

  15. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Pick 2 of each (Ignoring premium keepers)
    a)Patricio Ryan Fab Dubravka
    or) Fodder plus Alisson Ederson
    b)Doherty Jonny Yedlin Duffy Bennet
    c)Trippier Alonso Robbo Mendy
    Pick 1 of each
    d) TAA Maguire Shaw
    e) Maddison Richa Moura Ramsey
    Pick 2 of each
    f) Hazard Mane Sterling Salah KDB
    g) Fraser Knockart Hughes Ritchie Schurle Kennedy
    Pick 1 of each
    h) Kun Auba Kane
    i) Firmino Laca Vardy
    j) King Wilson Mitro Zaha Arnie Jiminez Murray
    Now discard 1 and replace with fodder.
    There are 44 picks so let me know after how many players in your existing team.

    1. Totally J
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Too confusing at this time

      1. Eze Really?
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Not really. If people do it one will realise team similarities on this site.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      ohh... looks like someone has activated WC 😛

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        A) Allison and fodder
        B) Doherty and Yedlin
        C) Alonso and Robertson. Walker over Alonso is also worth considering
        D) Trent
        E) Maddison. Sigurdsson would be better if budget allows
        F) Hazard and Sterling
        G) Schurrle and Hughes
        H) Aguero
        I) Vardy
        J) Arnautovic

        Hughes replaced with fodder

        I have 2. Kun and Hazard.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          How far out is it from your side atm? Not how many you have but how many in your present side is not on the list. Balbuena for example.

          1. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            12 players not on the list

          2. Holmes
            • 10 Years
            5 years, 6 months ago

            you mean the list you have posted?

            From that, 6 players not on the list

            1. Eze Really?
              • 9 Years
              5 years, 6 months ago

              Pls tell me who they are? That is radical. I have Seri (Fodder like hamer does not count)

              1. Holmes
                • 10 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

                Etheridge
                Walker, Holebas, Wan Bissaka

                1. Eze Really?
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 6 months ago

                  Interesting. Actually wondered who had Etheridge. Left out WB for obvious fixture reasons. Holebas ignored but maybe should have covered. Totally forgot about Walker.

              2. Hotdogs for Tea
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 6 months ago

  16. UnitednationsXI
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    The salah injury is a nail in the coffin for those who held him during his tough fixtures! Ideas here? Still have WC left

    Patricio — foster
    Alonso Robbo Doherty shaw —- awb
    Salah Maddison Richarlison — Stephens Camarasa
    Kun kane king

    A: salah > hazard
    B: Salah + Shaw >> Hazard + Mendy (-4) and continue with a 433
    C: Salah + Stephens >> hazard + Knockaert (-4) and switch to 343
    D: Salah + Stephens >> Sterling + Mendy (-4) and then WC in gw10 to bring in hazard, arnie, Mitro, Firmino

    1. Kragbaek
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Not C, at least

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Why take a -4 ? Just sell Salah and make a transfer the next week?

    3. UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      because if i dont take a hit, i will have shaw starting vs chelsea away plus there are doubts about his injury...hence either look to take him out or upgrade stephens.

      Unfortunately stephen's price fall will surely happen in the next day or so which i was hoping to avoid but dont think i have a choice till we get more info on salah.

      if salah was fit, i am considering stephens/kane >> hazard/jimenez

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Sounds like you need a better bench 😉

  17. Kragbaek
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    Hey lads. Need some thoughts on my next month or so 🙂

    Currently I’m in top 0.83% (47k)

    Patricio
    Alonso / Doherty / Robbo / Trippier
    Haz / Mané / Dilva
    Agüero (C) / Ings / Wilson

    Lössl / Wan-B / Maddison / Billing

    0 FT / 1.1 ITB

    Only plans I have right now is doing Wilson to Arnie when fixtures turn.

    Also, I thought of doing bench boost when Lössl/Billing have a nice fixtures at home.

    What do you think? Something I have overlooked?

    Thanks so much

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      No free transfer so do nothing

      1. Kragbaek
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate, wasn’t considering either

    2. Eze Really?
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 6 months ago

      Very good side IMO.
      Not my choice with Dilva with Bilva playing well and KDB returning.
      WB you can keep but wont be using anytime soon.
      Robbo Trippier Dilva Rotation risk so maybe upgrade Billing (But you do have Maddi)

      1. Kragbaek
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 6 months ago

        I just love Dilva. Seriously thinking of KDB, even though I’m unsure when he’s back

        1. Eze Really?
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 6 months ago

          Love him as a player. May frustrate in FPL

  18. Eze Really?
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 6 months ago

    My side:
    Taken a hit to rectify my mess up last week with Kane.
    Alisson (Hamer)
    Robbo Alonso Doherty WB* Shaw*
    Maddison Mane Hazard Moura Fraser*
    Kun Arnie Mitro
    Hope Shaw and Fraser are fit

  19. FPL Maldini
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    How long is Salah out for?

    Are we talking days or weeks?

  20. korbendallas82
    • 10 Years

    On wc. Sold Alonso for Mendy. Now i am thinking i want Alonso back in. already lost some money on this tf. This is so typical me on a wild card. Im bad at managing my team/team value. There are some traps on WC.

      Both look gold, Mendy is playing amazingly high up the pitch - why are you worried about having him?
