Our latest Community Round-up feature looks back at the Fantasy Football Scout community’s activity over the past week.

As well as the usual array of superb discussions in the comments this week, there have been some welcome article and table submissions that can help with our planning for Gameweek 10 and beyond.

We’ve also got updated details on the FFS Charity Cup in November, which this time is raising money for CALM.

Hot Topics

TopMarx began the week by asking us if were bold or patient FPL managers while Legomane was curious to know what fellow Wildcard hoarders were waiting for as they sit on this prized chip.

Gregor asked for your stand-out players who passed the “eye test” in Gameweek 9 as we also ran the rule over Arsenal v Leicester City.

Defenders were the source of much debate as wulfranian presented his research on the Liverpool backline while Pras United was comparing Chelsea stoppers. We also pondered heavy hitters in defence and five at the back.

The Cherry Picker cherry-picked us some helpful bits of information regarding attackers and bonus points, as Limited & Mediocre Manager asked for your own personal FPL mid-season reviews.

The implications of the Champions League sparked debate as the focus switched to Gameweek 10, with G-Whizz giving us his weekly Doosra stats, clean sheet probabilities and match odds and several of you suggesting who the break-out star of this weekend might be.

Finally, Demel switched our attention back to defence by asking how important attacking potential is regarding our chosen defenders.

Community Articles

Three super articles for you this week:

Community Tournaments

Brayden McCullough still leads our public Fantasy Football Scout League and is still second in the overall rankings.

Luke Aiello still leads both our Fantasy Football Scout Members League and RedLightning‘s Top 10k Any Season mini-league and is up one place to 27th overall. Ashley Humphrey (Ashers74) is now level with him on points in Top 10k Any Season.

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

Finally, details of the FFS Charity Cup have been added to the article we published last month.

All you need to do is email peter.kouwenberg76@gmail.com as soon as possible to confirm your interest and provide your contact details, at which point you’ll be added to the relevant WhatsApp group unless you would prefer to be kept informed by email or text instead.

February’s tournament proved a huge success and raised over £1,000 for Melanoma Research Foundation. This time we hope to raise even more money as we donate to men’s mental health charity CALM.

    Vardy to Annie for -4?

    1. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Damn you. You spolied my "first" post.

      No

    2. It's a hard knock life.

    3. ChristoBisto
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I would do that but "tomorrow", unless it never comes.

  2. Sánchez

    First, round draw of the cup to be done live on scoutcast like the fa cup?

    1. ChristoBisto
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      This would be amazing! But thinking about the number of teams could get a bit boring.

  3. Aussie Rules

    So is Vardy definitely going to be benched?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      What’s wrong with him?

      1. internal error

        Puel dropping him from starting line up

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 8 Years

          Allegedly.

            Allegedly. There are 3 big tabloids running the story so im inclined to believe it

            1. Sideways Backwards
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Oh dear, if that is your criteria for truth the world is in big trouble

                Its not like they are speculating. They are saying its happening

              2. Would be an odd story to collectively run if it wasn't true. Not talking about transfer rumours some agent has planted.

            2. The Big Fella

                  Hmmmmm don't rate either of those, especially the Daily Fail, but for all three to run the story is not a good sign for me this gameweek

                    Im probably selling. Will leave it to last poss moment incase news comes out

                    1. The Big Fella

                      7 years, 1 month ago

                      Who for though? I have 0.1 in the bank and I have Arnie already. Don't fancy any others in that price range. I'd ideally like Lacazette but not got the funds. I also think, even if he doesn't start, he may come off the bench and if he does he will score.

    4. Rage Against The Raheem

  8. Hotdogs for Tea

    Any ‘OMG that tweet’ posts to be worried about ?

    Any Hazard news ?

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      No Bemba Ba is still at nursery.

  9. el polako
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    I didnt pull the trigger last night beacasue wanted to sleep on it and lost 0.1 in value...
    I had Salah from the start and wasnt impressed with him simply his points per million didnt look to appealing, however if you look at his underlying stats in last 4 games vs Mane he is much better option, so....
    Kane & BSilvq to Arnie & Salah for -4 might be my move this morning and if it goes baps up I still go my WC to fall on.

    What we think ?

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Do it now !

    2. ChadW98
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I did the same thing, but had two FTs, i'm considering transferring Zaha out for either Mitro or King/Wilson as a one week wonder as I plan to WC next week.

      Any thoughts?

    3. MDK
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Makes sense to me

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      you're unlikely to want to WC those two back in, so I'd do it

  15. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    201,000 people took Hazard out, let them keep coming I say. I’m guessing the majority were a straight swap for Hazard

    1. That is certainly a straight swap.

      1. RUUD!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        You know what I mean lol. *Salah

        1. 😉

      2. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Lol

    2. The Train Driver
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Hazard for Hazard seems a bit sideways...

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Lol again

    3. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      I did it myself as Hazard is better than Hazard imo.

      1. Not again Shirley
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Lol again again

    4. fclackless [Brazil Nuts]

      moments like this one yearns for an edit function on posts!

      1. RUUD!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I agree, that is one part of the website that could be added

    5. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      That would be a very silly swap

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Or play your WC and get Hazard back

    6. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Can't get any straighter than that in fairness!

  16. Please Help I Don't Kn…

    Hazard still likely to start?

    1. CostaCoffee
      • 12 Years

      Looks fine.
      Would you captain Robertson instead?
      It's between him and Mane for my team..

        Thank you mate. He is my VC. Both seem good choices but I’ll probably stick with Mane
