FPL Question Time – Consult our panel ahead of Gameweek 11

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!)

      1. Tshelby
        • 9 Years

        Cheers Pal

      2. CAPTAIN_WALES

    2. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      A much better imo

    3. Tshelby
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 6 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
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. AndyCook
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Will serve his ban in the cup

          1. Front 442
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

        • 7 Years

    5. Don Kloppeone
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 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
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 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
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 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
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 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
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 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?
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 6 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
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 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
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. Eze Really?
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Tell me someone who is not guessing atm.

    6. JustPark

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

      How do I play this game?

      1. Modest Bob
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        With attitude.

        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.
          • 14 Years

            1. Christina.
              • 14 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

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

                • 7 Years
                4 years, 6 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
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 6 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
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Do it

      3. Champ

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

    11. Scout Picks Community Champion Lottery – Gameweek 11
      Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 6 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!

      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 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

        Think so.

        1. Big Chris Wood
          • 10 Years

          Me too

      2. Totti

        yes imo

    16. Champ
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A wildcard would be nice.

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

        Only 2 months to wait

      2. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        ...or even two

    17. Big Chris Wood
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 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
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 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
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

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

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        You made the right decision

        Who's navarro btw?

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

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

      3. Pegboy
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 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
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 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.

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

            1. Totti
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              thanks mate

    21. SUPER MOKH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Pope McGovern
      TAA Boly Lund Kelly Rico
      Mane KDB Mount Maddison Cantwell
      Wilson Kun Tammy
      2FTs

      Best replacement for Boly?

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Chilwell if you could afford

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          This.

        2. SUPER MOKH
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

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

          Boly Wilson > Chilwell Maupay with 1.4 itb

    22. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      1. Champ
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

      2. Aleksei
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Consider him?

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          yep

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

        Would you pick him up with those fixtures ahead though?

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          yep.

      4. jtreble
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Tough fixtures though ...

        1. Christina.
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          easy swap to Ings

          1. NABIL - FPL otai
            • 11 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            No love for my man ayew?

    23. balint84
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 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
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

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

      2. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        what would you wildcard to?

      3. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

      4. balint84
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

    24. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 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
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        maupay
        and i would go lacazette

      2. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Rash

    25. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Best OR 38

      How do apply to become a panelist?

      1. Christina.
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Is there a fight club? 😀

    26. Lignja
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      If Aguero start today it is time to sell?

      1. Aleksei
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        i guess so

      2. Totti
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

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

        1. Lignja
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Same here probably for Salah and Greenwood

      3. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

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

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

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

        1. Lignja
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

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

          1. iL PiStOlErO
            • 4 Years
            4 years, 6 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
      B - Maddison
      C - Vardy

      1. Totti
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

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

      2. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Perreira for me out of those mare

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          *mate

      3. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        C

        Less one OR rival for me then

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

        A

      5. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        A or B if you have better options in mid

      6. Aleksei
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

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

      7. eamonhegg
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

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

    28. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

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

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

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

    29. KUNingas
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      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
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Toughie

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