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.

    Should I play Doherty over Fraser?

    Patricio
    Alonso, Robbo, TAA
    Fraser, Hazard, Salah, Maddy

    1. Takamba
      • 11 Years

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

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

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

    Thanks

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

      Go for the -4 option

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

    Please heeeelp!!!
    Iheanacho (LEI) or Gray (WAT) ?

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

      Nacho

  7. Frank Koscielny
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Play Patricio or Foster?

      Foster

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

      I'm playing Patricio over Foster personally

    3. Manani
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      got both, I am playing Foster (but I have Dohetry)

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

      Foster, Hudds don't score much.

  8. Big Col
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Which one to bench?

    A) Doherty (bha)

  9. GuillermoDickero
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Would you....
    A) Keep Richarlison and save an FT
    B) Sell for Madison?

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

      A

  10. justmatt
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Madness to play Cedric over Doherty?

    Newcastle seem to struggle against lower sides and have not scored against a against a team outside of top 6 this year. Also I have Patrico in goal for Wolves cover.

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

      No, bookies think Southampton more likely to keep a cleanie than Wolves, but only just.

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

      I would

    3. justmatt
      • 10 Years

    1. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      From one rotation risk to another? Get Robertson - set and forget.

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

      keeping for now. For what its worth I still think he is 1st choice, but just rested last week.

  12. My Name Is Pepu
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Richarlison or Bennett first sub in case of Hazard no show?

    Currently on Richarlison.

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

      Yeah mate, would go for Rich as well. He is my first sub.

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

      Yep, Rich 1st sub

  13. Manani
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Hughes or Fraser > Maddison?

    or save FT?

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

      those 3 watford fixture seems too good to ditch hughes

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

      Save for this week I think, Maddison in for Fraser Next.

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hughes owner and I'm starting him. If you aren't going to play him against Huddersfield, might as well downgrade him to a 4.5 mid.

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

        who else do u have as midfield?

        1. My Name Is Pepu
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Salah, Hazard, Maddison, Richarlison

          Rich first sub incase of Haz no show.

  14. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    1. Jacktastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Hmmm could be gold

    2. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Nah as much as it could work dgw is just too appealing, good luck though

    3. My Name Is Pepu
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      Potential 63-pointer.

      *slurp slurp*

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

      Fulham at home would be the more tempting single GW fixture; save it for a DGW though

  22. Whazza
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Mad to start Doherty over Richarlison?

    1. Jacktastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      No, his stats as a striker are poor

    2. MB10
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

    Mendy Robbo Duffy Alonso
    Salah Maddy Richa Hazard
    Arnie Aguero

    Subs: Button, WanB, Kenedy, Success

    1. Balls of Steel

  29. fridge
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    Foster
    Robbo. Alonso. Chilwell
    Salah (c) Hazard. Maddison. Fraser
    Ings. Aguero. Mitro

    Pat. Doherty. AWB. Cairney

    1. Paulinho14

      7 years, 6 months ago

      play Ings

  30. Paulinho14
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 6 months ago

    play one:

    a) Mendy
    b) Trippier
    c) Success (not really an option)
