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 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.

    Richarlison to Maddison for free if no other problems? Thanks lads

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yep. I prefer Maddison to Richarlison... especially if Vardy is out. Could be on pens.

      1. columbo
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks mate. Tempted.

    2. Starlydon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'd say yes

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      yes I've done the same

      if you look at the BPS (the underlying numbers for bonus points), Madders is way ahead

  2. Wolfman180
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Ok last shout before making a decision

    Foster/ Patricio
    Alonso/ Robertson/ Trippier/ Doherty / AWB
    Hazard/ Maddison/ Richarlison/ Fraser/ Jorginho
    Aguero/ Laca/ Mitrovic

    a) Rich/ Trippier/ Lacazette > Salah/ Duffy/ Arnie
    b) Just hold and hope Salah blanks

    1. Starlydon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'm goin going without. Let's pray it pays off!!

  3. adam28193
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Lads shall I pull the trigger on Dilva to maddison? Got 2 FTs

    1. Starlydon
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Sounds like it could be good!

  4. Snibal
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    I’m on a WC and could use some advice. I’ve currently gone for:
    Ryan/button
    Robertson/Pereira/Doherty/lossl/awb
    Salah/mane/hazard/pereyra/hojbjerg
    Arnie/aguero/wilson

    My 2 main issues are that I’ve gone for a very expensive midfield and cheapish defense. The reason is that i think salah+mane will score big in the next 3. But maybe missing out on Chelsea and city defense will hurt me? Other consideration i have is to downgrade robbo to lovren/gomez and the upgrade pereira to luiz who i can then transfer to mendy next round.
    Any advice?

    Just realised there's no early kick off. How boring.

    1. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Yep disappointing. They should spread it out

  14. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Richarlison owners, would you like him to continue as a lone striker or moved to the wing where it seems that he's more effective?

    1. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Think you answer your own question with saying that he's more effective on the wing

    2. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Serious question?

    3. panda07
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Think he's better on the wing

    4. kalmoffit
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Is he ineffective playing striker or ineffective.

  15. D_R_S_PORT_S

      Jim

      1. william prunier
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        This

  19. Merlinho
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Draft team choices - start two from Boly, Chilwell, Pedro...?

    Something about the Hazard situation which makes me think Pedro is worth a risk but he'll probably just get 1 point...

  20. MMN
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    What Fernandinho seemingly nailed it seems there are 2 spots for Silva, Bilva and KDB.

    Who do you think will start vs tot & SOU?

    1. MMN
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      With Fernandinho*

    2. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Silva isnt playing that deep with KDB back. Hes more in contention with Sterling and Mahrez

      1. MMN
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Do you think Bilva will start next two?

  21. andrinho
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Final decision, transfer in:
    a) Bellerín
    or
    b) Holebas"

  22. Mikey44
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on my wc team please:

    Ryan Button
    Alonso Robertson Mendy Holebas Diop
    Salah Hazard Maddison Kenedy Romeu
    Aguero Arnautovic Mitrovic

    Thank you

    1. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure about the card magnet in Def

    2. JurgenRocks
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Mitrovic's stats are going downhill. I'm going to sell him soon, so maybe not good on a WC, but the rest of the team looks okay.

  23. Camzy

    What accounts do I need to follow to get the Liverpool lineup fastest?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Anfield Express, run by insider Danny Murphy aka Leicester's reserve keeper.

  24. Game of Throw_ins
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Murray able to play this gw?

    1. william prunier

  25. John Colby (C)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all. Is there much confidence that Hazard starts against Burnley this weekend?

    1. william prunier
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Not amongst the melts

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      If only we knew. I'm still sticking the armband on him, with Robbo as vice in case.

      1. John Colby (C)
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers lads. I'm looking to wildcard this weekend

    3. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

    A. bilva
    b. Doherty
    c. Richarlison

      7 years, 6 months ago

      Who to select as captain :

      A. Hazard
      B. Aguero
      C. Mane

      1. william prunier
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        B

      2. FPL Pillars
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        salah

      3. Lukey27

        D.Salah

    3. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kane, Billing > Arnie, Mane (-4)?

      Particio
      Alonso, Robbo, Doherty
      Hazard, Richarlison, Maddison, Fraser, ____
      Aguero, _____

      Hart; Jiminez, Trippier, WBis

    4. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Who to captain? Heart says shaq, mind says robbo

      Shaqiri: contributed in every game he's been a part of so far, hauled off early enough in mid week game, likely to start, Liverpool strong favourites to score more than one, high differential.

      Robertson: likely to keep a cleanie, if Liverpool score a lot, likely to have at least 1 assist, almost always in amongst bps when they win.

      1. william prunier
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        How has it come to this?

        1. Puntillimon
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Hazard's a doubt, if he's on the bench and they are not winning, he may come off and be a one pointer.

          Aguero.. may get hauled off early. Don't fancy that insecurity

          My other option is alonso who's likely to get a cs and attacking points but is away so kinda not as attractive

          What do you think?

        2. Lukey27
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          ^this^

      2. Puntillimon
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        The Salah train will come to a halt. I'll bring him in when the MF are less injured

    5. The Yorkshire Pirlo
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A 90 minutes Kenedy or a 60-70 minutes Brooks?

      1. MTPockets
          7 years, 6 months ago

          brooks

        • william prunier
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Kenedy

        • Patch
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Erm what makes you think Kenedy won't be hooked on 60 mins like the much earlier GWs...

          1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah true, just comparing to Brooks that rarely completes the 90. Who’d you reckon for the next few gwks?

            1. Patch
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              I'm desperate for Madison but think Fabianski will play a blinder today anyway

              Next week Madison will be Crucial

            2. william prunier
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 6 months ago

              Newc games are lovely finally, Bourn turn tricky.
              Stanislas now back threatens Brooks also.

        • FPL Pillars
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Kennedy not guarenteed 90 lol

          1. The Yorkshire Pirlo
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Just stating that he’s more likely to get the full 90 than Brooks. Who’s the better pick for you?
