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.
