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.

      8 years, 6 days ago

  3. Egg noodle
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Someone please tell me how do I shave off 3.7m off this WC team? Sterling>Richarlison/Maddison looks like the obvious move, but I'm left with no Mancity attack.

    Patricio Fabianski
    Mendy Robertson Yedlin Duffy Doherty
    Sterling Salah Hazard Mane 4.5
    Mitrovic Murray Wilson (Wilson will become Arnautovic in 2 weeks time, so keeping money in hand)

    Thanks

      They are not even in the same bracket?

      Who do you think is better, Ozil or Sterling?

      1. Flynny
        8 years, 6 days ago

        In terms of value for money and fixtures....

    2. Giroud Depardieu

  6. Surfeit of Lampteys

  7. Schliegs

    Who needs to go first

    1. Egg noodle

      Moura is a big fat ball of hope and no result.

    Good evening

    If you're bored and fancy watching the latest edition of a podcast I do talking all things FPL, then just click this link here:

    This edition mind is more focused on a cash ML I take very seriously, however I'm sure if you watch, I'd like to think you could relate

    Salah injured today?

      Check the Scout tweets.

  10. Alexis Nonsense
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Convenient "muscle injury" on Salah...

    He'll be ready for plum fixtures then

    1. Egg noodle
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Not really convenient if he had to be taken off...

  11. George Sillett

    I am very anxious as I think that my potential girlfriend may have a potential boyfriend already but if I potentially ask my potential girlfriends potential friend what my potential psospects are would this potentially help ?

              It is very good pie

              1. George Sillett
                8 years, 6 days ago

                Sounds more like raw fish .

                  8 years, 6 days ago

                  Yeah and it has lots of bone

    2. Fingerspitzengefühl
      8 years, 6 days ago

      It could potentially help

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah

      Untie the noose mate

      1. Deulofail

    4. Klein
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Ask him how tough he is. That should help

  12. Egg noodle
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Is it a bad idea to go without Alonso on WC?

    1. Egg noodle
      8 years, 6 days ago

      David Luiz is 1.4 cheaper and has returned similar points recently.

    2. noquarternt
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Is Alonso still on direct free kicks and playing as a striker?

    3. EMBOLOFAN
      8 years, 6 days ago

      both good value, i'd rather have alonso though

  13. FPL Pillars
    8 years, 6 days ago

    noooo Salah!!! 🙁

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      8 years, 6 days ago

  14. Niho992
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Who to captain next GW. Dont have Aguero and Hazard. Have Salah(injury) Kane and Laccazete

    1. yakirh
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Why not Kane to Kun and captain him?

  15. George Sillett
    8 years, 6 days ago

    It's entertainment in itself reading some of the Salah potential injury comments based on absolutely nothing other than pure speculation.

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Salah dead no? Mummified and all

    2. Pacer.
      8 years, 6 days ago

      It's entertaining when you don't own Salah and have 2FT'S

      HIGH FIVE

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Yeah? Talk to me

    3. NATSTER
      8 years, 6 days ago

      It looks like every owner and non-owner has something to say about this injury.

      Considering it just happened while away on international duty they probably don’t know much.

      ...mam cud av scored dat one, an she only got one leg

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Gangsta. But not me

  22. GianniBanani
    8 years, 6 days ago

    I wanted to make a Mane to Salah move. Should i step back and wait one gw? I will be outpriced if Mane drops and Salah not.

    1. Stimps
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Pretty sure people will start bringing in Mane now that Salah could be a doubt

      1. GianniBanani
        8 years, 6 days ago

        I hope so. He is already flagged so it should make people avoid him this gw

      2. George Sillett
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Clouseau at his finest

    2. Deulofail
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Maybe just wait a day or two first, since they aren't likely to drop tonight. In anycase, it would be a bad idea to make a trasfer for/from either of them right now, so you are at the mercy of the prices. No thought required. Plus it might be better to keep Mane and spend the money elsewhere even if Salah is fine, so I'd be happy to wait and only get Salah if I were really convince at a later date before the deadline.

      1. GianniBanani
        8 years, 6 days ago

        I wouldn't consider this transfer if i was be able to make it regardless price changes. I'll wait as long as Mane looks safe from price drop for sure.

        1. My heart goes Salalalalah
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Mané won’t drop

          1. Deulofail
            8 years, 6 days ago

            Mané won’t drop
            Mané won’t drop

            I once played on a pitch with Mané, yay
            Used to be up with Studge like everyday
            The footy was the bomb, had a keeper very young
            But Danny Ward was sold and they brought in Alisson.
            The homies used to tell me that Mané was no good
            But he the Manéac in black, Mr. Snoop Eastwood
            So I figure his price wouldn't fall with mine
            Guess what? I'm Salah I played my last time

            1. George Sillett
              8 years, 6 days ago

              I think maybe that it's time you went to sleep.

  23. enourouz
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Does deulofeu start Watford’s next match?

    Or another sub appearance to build up fitness?

    1. chilli con kone
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Sub IMO

    2. My heart goes Salalalalah
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Ask him

    3. My heart goes Salalalalah
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Sub probably

  24. chilli con kone
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Pending bad news on Salah...is this madness for a -4?

    Salah, Kun and Rich/Maddy > Mane, Laca and Sterling?

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Kun out means I want what you are sniffing

      1. chilli con kone
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Haha he'll get hooked on 60mins again anyway

        1. yakirh
          8 years, 6 days ago

          And score, again

      2. Pinturicchio10
        8 years, 6 days ago

        A bottle of his own farts?

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Not madness but pointless in my opinion. Salah > Mane or Sterling, no hit.

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        8 years, 6 days ago

        Truth

    3. George Sillett
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Trump like.

    4. yakirh
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Why sell Kun?
      He is the clear captain choice in case Salah is out

    5. Balotellitubbies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Just do salah -> sterling if out imo

  25. My heart goes Salalalalah
    8 years, 6 days ago

    How about a window for 10sec video or audio clip on this site?

    1. Deulofail
      8 years, 6 days ago

      This. I need to be able to post this more rapidly when the time is right https://youtu.be/RtJVXcuHssI?t=21

      1. My heart goes Salalalalah
        8 years, 6 days ago

        28 Sec clip. You are ruining it

        1. Deulofail
          8 years, 6 days ago

          Um. Should start at 21 seconds. Something wrong with your computing device.

      2. My heart goes Salalalalah
        8 years, 6 days ago

        And since you are a member, will you filter all the dick pics Deulo?

  26. noquarternt
    8 years, 6 days ago

    Wouldn't mind a 'meet the troll' section. Could submit it as a community article?

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Look up

    2. George Sillett
      8 years, 6 days ago

      Now you're talking but Scotty B would get very repetitive as would Bemba and Chucky.
      I would however be very entertaining.

      1. Ógie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        8 years, 6 days ago

        I would actually love to hear Scotty B being interviewed just to hear how his management strategy works.

        He does have some impressive finishes and his style of management would be certainly different than most with the trying to build a consistence approach.

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          8 years, 6 days ago

          *consensus

        2. George Sillett
          8 years, 6 days ago

          I do agree that his consistent approach to the game seems to pay off handsomely for him. It's reassuring to know that he has such an impressive back up team to assist him and some of his posts such as "ah didums" are truly inspirational for all.

    Didn't get to see the game tonight but heard that rashford had some ugly missus

    1. My heart goes Salalalalah

      Don't take to the stage.

      Salah getting injured cout be a blessing in disguise.

        I've been trying to rework my team to bring him back in this week without losing Hazard. I'll be very thankful if he doesn't play. Even if he plays whilst still flagged it will dissuade enough people from captaining him to reduce the damage of not owning him.

          Very true

      Kane brace anyway

      Certainly more inclined to but all depends on whether Salah is 100% confirmed out or confirmed fit

      Would prefer if he is out of course so I can keep kane and also use just my FT rather than take a hit for Salah

      Certainly will wait until next Friday before deciding whether to keep Kane or get Salah.

    FPLstats says Mendy price is locked until tonight. Anyone know if price will rise overnight as soon as he’s unlocked?

      No won’t

      Nah, needs 54609 to buy before a rise according to fplstats. Hardly anyone buying so will slowly creep up, but very unlikely to rise before deadline.
