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

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.

    Slipping away in ML, want to take some risks. How's this sound?

    Laca + Maddison + Alonso ->. Arnie + Salah (C) + Mendy -4

    Exact amount in bank to do it.

    1. Pinturicchio10
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Awful tbh

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Risk going without Salah then?

    2. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Bit early for risks mate. It’s a long season.

    3. The 5% Team
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I think Laca, Madd and Alonso have good chances on points this weekend

      1. FPLEL
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Me too, just worried about no Salah.

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Depends on the rest of your team. Looks decent enough though.

    5. TheDragon
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Get Salah in somehow.

      Don’t take unnecessary risks this early in season. It’s only week 10. Even if you were 200 points behind now still plenty of time to make it up

    best mid for walcott? 6.9max
    mane to salah for free?

    I have a real feeling Jesus will start on Monday after their ‘best ever’ performance in Shakhtar.

    1. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Lol

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I have a feeling Mendy is dropped for somone more defensive

      Trippier dropped for Aurier

      Not sure it happens though

      1. si
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Jesus has done very well v Spurs at Wembley before.

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      FPL bias or what

      1. si

        Know my stuff bias or what

  4. Takamba
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Bench one of:

    a) Richarlison
    b) Kenedy
    c) Doherty

  5. EgyptianKing
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    Auba, you think he’ll start? ML rival has him, unfortunately...

    1. Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Yeah, he has to. Lacazette was poor last weekend as well.

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        But Lacazette should strart, no?

      2. Milk, 1 Šuker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah but Auba played near enough 90 mins on Thurs. I'd say Emery would start Laca and possibly Auba up top with him if the latter is fit.

  6. MITHRRANDIRR

    7 years, 9 months ago

    Guys, how's this WC squad looking?

    Allison, Foster
    Robertson, AWB, Alonso, Maguire, Doherty
    Hazard, Salah, Richarlison, Pereyra, Maddison
    King, Ings, Arnie

    1.4 ITB

    Plan to get Man City players after MU game, too light up front?

    1. MyBall MyRules
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Allison is set and forget, so downgrade foster.
      Richarlison is an iffy pick atm. I'd upgrade him to KDB now with saving on foster and money itb

        Scared Haz will just get the last 10 minutes or something

    VC: D

  18. Numb
    • 11 Years

    If Hazard doesn’t train today, are you selling? If so, who for?

    1. Takamba
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Not a chance, especially if you purchased nearer the £10.5m mark

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Keeping. Doesn't sound like a bad injury. Bought at 10.5m.

    3. The Big Fella
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I suppose that depends who plays/scores this weekend 😉

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I mean today, pre deadline

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Some numpties have done so already.

      Makes no sense to me.

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Loads have

        1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 months ago

          Good luck to them.

      2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Depends on your situation. If I had value tied up then no.

        Good chance for some to get an advantage over the ones who got him early

    5. Van der Faart
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      Not selling. He'll be back next week

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        Source?

    6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      If he drops I lose .1 and only just got him, like yourself, the other week.

      Problem is I can't get Mane as I have 3 pool .

      Sterling or KDB maybe. It is possible that I do this. If he doesn't train then with a bad back this could go on ?

      1. Desperately Seeking Dusan
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 9 months ago

        I think Sarri wouldn’t say they are going to evaluate him if it’s that bad. If he doesn’t play and that story changes (like with Mendy) and he’s still “being assessed” then I think I’ll reconsider.

    7. Pieterke30
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      You cant be considering it. Not you. Doesnt make any sense to sell. Could only miss one game, or none.

  20. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    For bench order, I am currently on Stephens (Wolves at home) and then AWB (Arsenal at home). I think Stephens is probably a 3 pointer this week but AWB, although likely to concede, does love the BAPS. What do you think?

    1. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I've gone Stephens then AWB. Same thinking as you. Stephens 2 points, AWB 1 point.

  21. Feloh
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 9 months ago

    am I the only one who found the draft super boring and complicated or involving? Tried it last season, dropped off mid way and put a "never again" tag to it.

    1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 months ago

      I agree, but guess they had sufficient interest if it still running this year.

      Not necessarily

  29. Miguel Sanchez
