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

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.

    I need a decent captain this week and since Kane and Aguero don't look like the best of choices this week, as well as Hazard being possibly injured and out for the game I need to transfer someone in

    A) Kane > Auba/Lacazette and captain them
    B) Kane, Richarlison > Ings, Salah (c)
    C) Anything else?

      How likely is B. Silva to start against Spurs?

      1. child of God
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I think he starts along with with kdb and fernandinho. Btw that's just me. Who can ever tell with pep

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

      FACT: Liverpool have the same number of CS as Man City so far

      Therefore is it silly to switcheroo Allison and Ederson???

      Nothing pressing with rest of team, will just burn a FT as unused otherwise

      1. Witty Pun: Not good at this…
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        If you have Allison keep. Fix your bench?

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

        Liverpool's fixtures look better in general, likely more cs

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

        If there's literally no option and it's between burning and doing Ederson > Allison then I would do it unless you want another Liverpool player any time soon and this will block that.

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

        Thanks guys even my bench is pretty solid with Bennet, Billing and Hughes

        All are no better and no worse than other comparable players...

        Ok guys I am really taking a leap of faith and trusting this switcheroo between Ederson and Alison.

        I am more tempted to keep Aguero than Ederson. Allows me to focus on a third City player around GW13 onwards

      5. terrypaulpearce
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Ditch Hughes for Kayal, bank the .6m.

    5. Tombory
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I have sterling and hazard with no Liverpool players! Should I get salah for-4 or mane?
      Help please guys!

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

        if you can manage to keep Sterling and Hazard, yes

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

          I would have to get rid of sterling or haz...

          1. Egg noodle
            • 16 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            I got rid of hazard. Yolo

          2. Kellz86
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 6 months ago

            Do you have Aguero? If yes I'd sacrifice Sterling.

            How deep is your discount on Hazard? If it's significant I would not ditch.

            Either way I'd still probably get rid of Sterling for Salah in your above scenario

    6. AandyzZ
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Play Richarlison or ings?

      Captain Hazard or Mane?

      1. Collie01
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Get rid of Ings if you don't play him at home vs Newcastle

      2. Holmes

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years

        R

      2. kalmoffit

        Laca

    8. Scotty B
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Are any of these moves worth a -4 this week?

      A - Hazard > Salah
      B - Trippier > Robertson
      C - Cook > Robertson (bench Trippier who will probably come in anyway for TAA or Hazard)
      D Save 4 points

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

        D

      2. Giroud Depardieu
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Not for a hit, so D

    9. FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Which one to upgrade for a -4 to Mane?

      A) Kenedy

      B) Fraser

      C) Hold. No hit needed

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

        Fraser. Schedule getting a lot worst from now on.

      2. child of God
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        C for me

    10. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      See Robertson is played over attackers.

      A bit overrated on here?

      No attacking returns since GW 4

      OK, you say he’s A Bao magnet. But only 3 baps since GW 3

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        *BAP magnet

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

        He's a great pick, you can use your own decision making if you feel there's better value elsewhere...

      3. terrypaulpearce
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah but that's over a period of much worse fixtures than are coming up.

    11. Fantasy 11
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Should I do
      A. Richarlison/Kane to Salah/Arnie

      2. DMP

      Alonso TAA Doherty Mendy

      Good to go? Thx guys.

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

        Hazard Capt's a risk for a cameo

      2. Shteve
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Hazard captain is dodgy

    16. TyroneGAA
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Have a wolves defender and also one on the bench would you play the other first sub or go for awb so as not to double up?

      1. Egg noodle
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Awb is the worst pick. Go double wolves

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

      Bilva's chances of starting in the next 2 games?

      1. Shteve
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        He'll def feature but unlikely to get anything like 180 mins. I'd say 60 and 30 mins

    18. Joyce1998
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Pick two to play Fraser, aguero, richarlison

      1. child of God
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Fraser kun

      2. Shteve
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Aguero definitely, prob Fraser

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

        Fraser, Aguero

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

      Salah scores?
      A.4 goals
      B.5 goals
      C.6 goals

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

        D, 7 goals

    20. zon
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Decided to go aggressive with 2 FT's. Just need to decide between VVD or Mendy:

      Pat Fab
      Alonso Robertson Duffy (Doherty, AWB)
      Salah Hazard Fraser Richarlison (Hojberg)
      Aguero Arnautovic Mitrovic

      A) Richarlison + AWB -> Murphy + VVD
      B) Richarlison + AWB -> Camarasa + Mendy

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

        Definitely Mendy. I went with VVD at the beginning of the season. I think he's a solid defender, but Mendy gets more attacking points.

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

      Patricio - Fab
      Alonso - Mendy - Robertson - Cedric - AWB
      Hazard - Mane - Richarlison - Maddison - Cairney
      Agüero - Mitro - Arna

      2 FT, 0.8 ITB

      Any late suggestions? Thinking of Cairney -> Capoue/Romeu or something like that to not waste a FT

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

      Patricio,
      TAA, Laporte, Alonso,
      Salah (C), Maddison, Hazard, Fraser
      Aguero (VC), Mitrovic, Murray

      Fab, Doherty, Hojberg, AWB
