Another Fantasy Premier League Gameweek has gone by with contrasting emotions in our community.

It was a great week for some and dreadful for others.

As the grind continues into Gameweek 11, we have put together another panel of Fantasy Football Scout users to give you their thoughts…

WHO’S ON THE PANEL THIS WEEK?

Epic Fail – A top manager who has been playing Fantasy Football for over 20 years now and has been involved in FPL since it started. He boasts a massively impressive history with seven top 10k finishes including a 247th-place finish.

Will / TopMarx – A top FPL writer and a well-documented lover of VAR, TopMarx claims his record of winning at least one Mini League in each of the last three seasons has left him as the best FPL manager in the history of the game. Whilst the jury remains out on that one, a career-best finish of 4k is excellent.

Maximus Bonimus Pointimus – Long-time FFS member, currently seeking an elusive fifth top 10k finish. With a personal best season of 958th, the highs & lows of twelve FPL campaigns have left him completely de-sensitised to seeing good players get bad scores in good fixtures (and vice-versa!)

    B) Pukki, Otamendi, Hayden -> Ayew, Janmaat, Martial (-4)

    1. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I prefer first trio.

      1. Tshelby
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers Pal

      2. CAPTAIN_WALES
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        this

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A much better imo

    3. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A it is! Want to do it now but with those midweek games it's not really the best move..

    4. Front 442
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Isn’t Otamendi likely to start GW11 after Fernandinho’s red card?

      1. AndyCook
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Will serve his ban in the cup

        1. Front 442
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks mate

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      found him almost immediately - perhaps it is i who am the genius

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Awesome

  4. Don Kloppeone
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    RP as no replies on last page.
    Which of these combos looks best to work towards over next couple? I have Kun, Boly (and Dendo) with places to give up at some stage...

    A) Jiménez, Martial, Robbo
    B) Connolly, Sterling, Def up to 5.2
    C) Connolly, Salah, Def up to 4.9

    Pope, McGovern
    TAA, XXXX, Lunds, Rico, Willems
    Mané, KDB, XXXX, Mount, Barnes
    XXXX, Vardy, Abraham

    A) brings a tasty level of balance but an unbelievable benching headache as one of the front 8 would need to be benched each week

    Thoughts appreciated!

    1. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Maybe C cause it give you the possibility to do Salah -> anyone whenever you want. A looks really nice but it does give you a big headache every week.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Cheers.
        The issue with the Salah option is having just KDB from MCI scares me a bit!

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A is not balanced because it leaves so much money on the bench.Sterling this week. Then maybe switch to Salah.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yeh it’s just the look of all those players in one team in A that is so tempting but effectively you’d want to BB most weeks so it’s impractical I agree.

        I will decide tonight if I do the Sterling move tonight or keep Kun for SOU. Really can’t decide!

    3. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      My front 8
      KDB Sterling Dilva Martial Mount
      Jimi Firmino Abraham.
      7 times out of 10 one of the Citeh assets won't play.

      1. Don Kloppeone
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yes but why would you want that much value staring at you from the bench every week?

        I can’t lie that option A is super tempting

        You don’t like any LEI attacking options I see?

      2. Camzy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah but you're guessing and there are the 1 point cameos.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 12 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Tell me someone who is not guessing atm.

  5. JustPark
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    2 gws owning Son, moving into 3rd, 2 price drops so far.

    How do I play this game?

    1. Chester Pepperpot
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      With attitude.

  6. Chester Pepperpot
    • 7 Years

    2. jtreble

      I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess your ban is imminent.

      Doesn’t look like you need it. What’s the draw? Who are you trying to move out/in?

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Kun/Auba/Longstaff->Vardy/Maupay/Sterling -4

        1. My heart goes Salalalalah
          • 9 Years

          1. Christina.
            • 16 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            Nice fixtures...I better look at him as well.

            1. My heart goes Salalalalah
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 10 months ago

              Cheers. Have cash itb to change Greenwood to him and play 343. Or wait a week and do VVD, Yarmo to Janmaat, KdB. (still dont own, I know)

        2. The Cisco Kid
          • 15 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I mean... I don’t like that it looks a lot like my team, but I think it’s a strong move. Wait until Thursday to see how the league cup games go, then I think you have a plan.

    2. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Do it

    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Can I get some help and opinions on my WC

    B) Vardy and Troure

    Gaz Hend
    TAA Lund Rico Pieters Soy
    Salah Sterling KDB Martial (A or B)
    Conolly Ayew (A or B)

    Formation depends on fixtures.

    1. puhd
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      B, Vardy a must. But not sure about Troure, Ayew and Pieters

  9. iL PiStOlErO

  10. Scout Picks Community Champion Lottery – Gameweek 11
    Rotation's Alter Ego
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 15 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    A tough week for the Scout Picks last time out, with Aguero being benched, Boly picking up an unexpected injury and CHO getting a late cameo. Full credit to AK though, who seized the oppotunity to fly up the leaderboards, beating the Scouts 59 - 43 to give himself a 16 point victory. This leaves him joint 1st in the current competition, so still a good chance for anyone to steal the crown!

    If you think you can do better, apply to be this weeks Community Champion - could be a good high-scorer with some games like Man City vs Southampton offering good FPL point potential you'd think.

    The Community Champion picks a team to go up against the Scout Picks, within a budget of 83m and in a playable FPL formation. Whichever Gameweek champion beats the Scout’s team by the largest margin will win a £100 Amazon Voucher!

    If you're interested in applying, email Geoff (geoff@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk) with your FFS username and FPL Team ID.

    The Champion will be picked Thursday midday, so make sure to enter by then! The Champion then has until 11am Friday morning to send in their team.

    Good luck!

  13. aleksios
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Which path to choose? It seems so difficult.Have TAA ,Dilva,Raz and KDB atm.

    a) Keep Dilva+KDB,Raz to Mane and Pieters to Robertson as a 3rd pool .

    b) Dilva +Wilson to Mane and Maupay,keep Raz,KDB and Pieters.

    1. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A easy

    2. Totti

      A

    3. Eze Really?
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Only after GW12 IMO

  14. Ronnies
    • 11 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Worth a -4 ?

    Otamendi + C. Wilson >> Rico + Vardy

    Thanks Guys.

    1. aleksios
      • 11 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Think so.

      1. Big Chris Wood
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Me too

    2. Totti
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      yes imo

  15. Champ
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    A wildcard would be nice.

    1. Big Chris Wood
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Only 2 months to wait

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      ...or even two

  16. Big Chris Wood
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    I just did a crazy. -8 to get this team

    Pope button
    TAA Soy Rico Lund Navarro
    Tielemans KDB Sterling(c) Salah Mount
    Greenwood Vardy Abraham

    Took out Jiminez, Otamendi and Maddison.

    Pls someone tell me I made the right decision.

    Only taken a -4 before this and now worried am too reliant on Leicester, Chelsea, City and Pool results.

    1. Totti
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      nothing to do mate now, might be the right decision now
      hope it pays off
      who knows
      good luck mate

      1. Big Chris Wood
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks mate, you just gave me what I needed. Wanted Vardy bad

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      You made the right decision

      Who's navarro btw?

      1. Big Chris Wood
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Some Watford player who is 3.9 he's out on loan for the season

    3. Pegboy
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Not sure removing Jiminez + Maddison for a -8 was worth it, but always nice to own a streaky player like Vardy when he's hot.

    4. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Too much reshuffling with players from same team. Maddiosn out for Tielemans and Vardy was not needed, not in that way at least. Could have done it better but good luck.

  17. Chester Pepperpot
    • 7 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Sorry about that issue with my name before sir.

      1. Totti
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        1. Big Chris Wood
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I'm into hits as of today. How about Aguero And Cantwell to Mane/Salah and connelly?

          1. Totti
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            for -8?
            i think would be harsh
            may be next week do it for -4

            1. Big Chris Wood
              • 13 Years
              6 years, 10 months ago

              He who dares rodney.

              No you are right, do it next week. Just hope Aguero starts for you.

              1. Totti
                • 10 Years
                6 years, 10 months ago

                i hope so 🙂
                fingers crossed mate 🙂
                if he starts today i think i should consider taking a hit to pick him out

        2. Champ
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          Exactly. Wait until the weekend and see what happens. Decide after that.

          1. Totti
            • 10 Years
            6 years, 10 months ago

            thanks mate

    Pope McGovern
    TAA Boly Lund Kelly Rico

    2FTs

    Best replacement for Boly?

    1. Totti
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Chilwell if you could afford

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        This.

      2. SUPER MOKH
        • 10 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Will have to downgrade somewhere else then, probably Wilson > Maupay? What do you think

        Boly Wilson > Chilwell Maupay with 1.4 itb

  21. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    3. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Would you pick him up with those fixtures ahead though?

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        yep.

    4. jtreble
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Tough fixtures though ...

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        easy swap to Ings

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 13 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          No love for my man ayew?

  22. balint84
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Pope

    van Dijk (?)
    Tomori
    Rico

    McGinn (bad fixture)
    De Bruyne
    Mount
    Richarlison (not producing)
    Salah (?)

    Vardy
    Abraham

    Heaton (expensive)
    Boly (inj)
    Zinchenko (inj)
    Wickham (nonplay)

    Is this a wildcard situation or just sell Zinch for Cancelo?

    1. Totti
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      i think yes mate
      if you still have the wildcard
      for sure it's the time now

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

    3. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

  23. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Best fwd up to 9.3? Have Vardy and Abraham.
    A. Lacazette
    B. Jimenez
    C. Rashford (means double up with Martial)
    D. Other
    E. Extra transfer to bump up Dendoncker to Tielemans/Silva/Pepe/Maddison (-4)

    1. Totti
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      maupay
      and i would go lacazette

    2. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Rash

  24. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 13 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 13 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Is there a fight club? 😀

  25. Lignja
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    If Aguero start today it is time to sell?

    1. Aleksei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      i guess so

    2. Totti
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      that's would be the worst scenario
      as i think yes
      and will do it with -4

      1. Lignja
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Same here probably for Salah and Greenwood

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Could be. I sold for Vardy on Sunday before the price changes

    4. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      No. Since you had jim untill now then keep him for Southampton. Risk it, he could haul big time.

      1. Lignja
        • 9 Years
        6 years, 10 months ago

        Was thinking same last week C. On him and u know the rest

        1. iL PiStOlErO
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 10 months ago

          I know and I understand your worries but I would stick with him for one more. Anyway good luck kolega menađer 😉

    Get rid of one! HELP!

    A - Pereira

    C - Vardy

    1. Totti
      • 10 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      may be pereira
      but i think leave the three for another 3 gameweeks and then reassess

    2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Perreira for me out of those mare

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners

        *mate

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      C

      Less one OR rival for me then

    4. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A

    5. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      A or B if you have better options in mid

    6. Aleksei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Why? The form and fixtures are great. To save funds can downgrade to Chilwell, Perez

    7. eamonhegg
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      I have A and B. Want C in but need to get rid of one!

  27. Fpl Richie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 years, 10 months ago

    Does anyone rotate sufficiently well with a Brighton attacker to make them worthwhile over these nasty fixtures?

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Connolly as a fodder is great value no mather what. If you want Maupay thats different story, not worth imo.

    Where to use FT? 2FTs and 0.1 ITB

    Ryan
    TAA, Lund, Tomori
    Mane, KDB, Maddison, Mount
    Auba, Vardy, Abraham

    Button, Soyuncu, Rico, Dendo

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      6 years, 10 months ago

      Toughie

      Unless you've given up on auba, I'd consider Maddy to Tielemans

  29. Eastman
