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.

    Possible Walcott replacements?

        Salah

      • FPL_adict
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I have struggled to find one in that price bracket. Tired of waiting for Gross. Looks like the best option to go super cheap in midfield (~5 Mil) and upgrade elsewhere. Maddison looks a good pick if you can afford him

        1. ☈☾
          • 8 Years

          Have Maddy

            Then. May be stay patient? Wally has a good fixture next gw. I prefer Pascal Gross after that or may be Snodgrass (5.3M bargain with Yarmolenko out?).

      Captain Hazard - bold or stupid?

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

        Stupid if you have a Liverpool attacker imo

      2. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years

        Nah, minutes managed at best.

        Stupid

      4. Taking one for the team
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Think most will be sceptical this week so could be a nice differential if he gets a full game

    3. FPL_adict
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 6 months ago

      1) Zaha to Arnautovic for a -4 hit?
      2) Wan Bis to Dunk for a -4 hit?
      3) Do both, considering that I will start Dunk every week for next 7 and Arnie for next 10?

      1. Ohh1454
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        I wouldn't do any don't take a hit

        Interesting. I was thinking (1). Will not do either now. Thanks guys.

    4. screamer73
      • 10 Years

      Looking for an enabler 5th mid to bring in Salah. Considering Murphy, Camarasa, Kennedy and Pritchard. Any suggestions?

      1. Ohh1454
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 6 months ago

        Kenedy I would say playing in a poor team but has good fixtures and nailed

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Are you gonna play him? IF not then go the cheapest route which is Camarasa/Billing/Hojbjerg

        1. screamer73
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          He is likely to play during injuries/suspensions.

      7. screamer73

        Thanks guys.

      Play Walcott (mun) or Pedro (but)? Ta.

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

        Neither. Pedro if you have to play one.

        1. Je suis le chat
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          Cheers, might chance him though he's trolled me.

        • noquarternt
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 6 months ago

          No, the Telegraph were pretty sure he wouldn't be in the first 11. Unlike them to be completely wrong on such a story.

        • kalmoffit
          • 12 Years

          Not a clue, bought Nacho last week so I'm hopeful.

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

          Does any Fulham think a lot of Fulham's problems at the back are down to their current goalie? Not saying that their back 4 is beast or something but the little I saw of Fabri, he made some terrific saves unlike Bett who can't save anything for his life. Plus, I don't understand why Fabri was dropped in the first place.

          1. My Name Is Pepu

            7 years, 6 months ago

            For me Fabri is the better shot stopper. It was really annoying when he got dropped. But tbh it doesn't really matter, our cbs are just not good enough and no holding mf to speak of. Our gks don't stand a chance

              7 years, 6 months ago

              Potential is there for sure especially with Sanchez not available in the weekend. But Man Utd have been poor as a team so don't expect too much from him.

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

              B)

              Returns are unsustainable but I think he'll do fine. The problem is it's difficult to accommodate him.

                7 years, 6 months ago

                Yes he was. Didn't do that great but it was his first game after injury. Definitely one to monitor in the coming weeks.

              In the same boat, I’m actually on Robertson now! Hard to predict what points sterling and Kun will get. Robertson likely to get cs and potential attacking points. I’m trying to justify it as I write!
