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.

    1. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Ryan

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I'd have said Ryan, but Wolves are shorter in the betting for a CS this week - tough one

    3. Balls of Steel
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Can see a 0-0

    Hi guys, been tinkering for the last few hours.
    Hazard / Dilva => Salah / Maddison for a hit?
    (I got Hazard for 10.7)

    1. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn’t - not for a hit

    2. Magic Box
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No I don’t think so

    3. Rage Against The Raheem
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      I would not do that

  4. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Good to go? Should I play Doherty over Fraser?

    Patricio
    Alonso, Robbo, TAA
    Fraser, Hazard, Salah, Maddy
    Aguero, Mitrovic, Arnie

    4.0; Doherty, Hojbjerg, Wan-B

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

      I'm a Brighton fan, so I'd keep bench as is!

    2. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Nah good the way it is mate.

  5. Black Knights
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed.

    Schmeichel
    Robbo, Mendy, Alonso
    Mané (vc), Hazard (c), Maddison
    Aguero, Wilson, Mitrovic

    Play:

    A) Doherty
    B) Richarlison
    C) Use 1 of 2FTs on Richarlison > Pereyra and play him over Doherty

    Any advice please? Don’t wanna waste a FT.

    1. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      A - don’t captain Hazard, go Mane

      1. Black Knights
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I captained Mané for West Ham (16) and Brighton (3), so mixed mag so far.

        Tempted...

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

    Any Firmino (C) around here? Am I alone?

    1. BERGKOP
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      You won't be alone but he's not the most popular pick. I think he's a good shout for the fixtures. Go for it.

    2. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      If you don’t have a pool midfielder.

  7. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Decided to get Salah. In order to do that I need to get .7 from Aguero, Mendy or Alonso. Do I get Rudiger, Firmino or other?

    1. Feloh
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      would you kindly post your whole team below my reply, I really feel like I need to help you out. The information you are providing is not enough for me to make a decision.

      1. lordkippe
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Ryan, hart, robbo, alonso, mendy, doherty, awb. Hazard, richarlison, maddison, fraser, hojbjerg. Aguero, Kane, mitro.

        1. lordkippe
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          At 7 k so Salah could bring me way down the rankings. Looking at kane and richarlison to arnie and salah but lacks .7

    2. Pinturicchio10
        7 years, 6 months ago

        None of them are worth a downgrade. Just get Mané.

    3. istanbul05
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Kane to Firmino?

      Fabianski, 4.0m
      Alonso, TAA, Doherty, Bennett, 3.9m
      Haz, Salah, Rich, Maddison, Obiang,
      Kane, Arnie, Mitro

      Thanks

    4. Simply Loveleh
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Straight to the point, who do we prefer Ryan or Fabianski?

      1. BERGKOP
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Fab

      2. Rage Against The Raheem
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        This week, Ryan, but longer term Fab.

    5. Evasivo
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Roll FT and GTG?!

      Fabianski
      Mendy Alonso(C) TAA
      Sterling Haz(vc) Rich Maddison
      Aguero Mitro Wilson

      0.0itb. Steke Hojbjerg Boly AWB

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

        Possibly Sterling to Mane to Allow Wilson to Arnie next week?

      2. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Looks great but the Alonso (c) is a huge punt! What would you do in my position above?

    6. Magic Box
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Lacazette to Firmino if no Liverpool attackers?

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

        Yup

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          No

      2. BERGKOP
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        No

      3. Magic Box
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks all

    8. Teror
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Need to free up 0.2...

      A. Alonso > Robertson

      B. TAA > Lovren

      1. FPL Ultras
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        B all the way

      2. BERGKOP
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        B. But don't like Lovren as a pick.

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

          The other alternatives are Doherty or Duffy

    9. IRBOX ⚽
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Pretty exciting choice here lads for 3rd bench spot:

      a) Højbjerg
      b) Camarasa
      c) Billing

      1. Duffy Dunk
        • 9 Years

    10. FPL Ultras
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hello everyone!

      2 quick questions here:

      A) Iheanacho (LEI) or Gray (WAT) ?
      B) Captain Alonso?

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

      Thoughts on this move please
      Rich/ Laca/ Trippier to Salah/ Arnie/ Duffy for a -4
      Got no Liverpool attackers

      Alternatively I could swap Hazard for Salah for FT (priced 11.2 for me so would only lose 0.2, or less as his price could drop)

    12. AnfieldLad
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Cannot decide:

      A) Save FT, get Mendy in for Shaw for free next week (downgrading elsewhere for funds)

      B) Pickford -> Ryan, Mendy in for a hit next week

      A means playing Pickford away at Man U ...

    13. MITRAKADABRA
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Fraser vs Deulofeu vs Ings

      1. MITRAKADABRA
        • 7 Years

      2. IRBOX ⚽
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        This gameweek? Fraser

    14. Footballfriend
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Wildcard time and would appreciate advice

      Ryan, 4.0

      Mendy, Robertson, Alonso, Rice, Bennett

      Haz, Kdb, siggurdson, Kennedy, Hudson adoi

      Aguero, lacazette, Wilson

      Considering Richy & Arnie > Siggy & Wilson also, thoughts?

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

        Get some Pool attackers.

        1. Footballfriend
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          How though , drop Kdb?

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

        Kdb+Lacazette to Salah(c)+Jimenez ?

        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        phase one done

        waiting for phase 2 where salah blanks.

        Then phase 3 where hazard punishes the doubtful, kneejerky sellers

      4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years

        there is one training session today, it's guesswork

        1. MMN
          • 12 Years

      5. Rage Against The Raheem
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years

        Nice one, cheers for that

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

        Wow is right

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

        Are they reliable?

    16. HD7
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Even If Success doesnt start (he might)... 20mins at home to Hudds.. striker?

      Should he or Kenedy be first on bench?

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

        Playing him but I'd play Kenedy instead if I had him.

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

      Anyone have news on Vardy? is he really out?

      1. Pieterke30
        • 9 Years

        Guy who successfully leaked their lineup over the last 4 GWs says he is out

      Bridge news on Twitter:

      Predicted Chelsea XI V Burnley: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Rūdiger, Alonso, Jorginho, Kante, Barkley, Hazard, Morata and Willian. #CFC

      Never heard of though

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        we will see

        there is a final training session today so can't see how he can know the team now

        1. MGD
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah.

          Still between mane and hazard for captain.

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

        Anyone who follows the PL could've predicted that. Doesn't mean anything unless they've got previous.

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

        Is the training before the 2pm deadline?

    19. fc_skrald
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Still not sure who to play in out of Bennett, Zabaleta and Wan-Bissaka. Since I have no Leicester players I could gain the most points by playing Zabaleta and hope West Ham defence will improve... What to do?

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

        Bennett

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

          Yes,probably the right one.

        No, Doherty is fine to come in if needed

    21. PASTATOGEL
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hennessy to Alisson sounds good this week for a FT ?

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Yep if no other pressing concerns

    22. Rash

      why are people crying about Hazard sellers? if anything you should be actively encouraging it 😉
