The best FFScout Community articles ahead of Gameweek 4

Welcome to a new regular feature capturing the latest talking points in the Fantasy Football Scout Community as we turn our attention to Gameweek 4.

Here we bring to your attention some of the best articles submitted through our Community Trials initiative, which is part of our ongoing mission to support budding contributors and creators.

This piece will also cover the latest in the Community mini-leagues and competitions.

How to avoid feeling Blue

Chelsea have been the subject of much debate over the past week. In his Community article, Blues-fan James878 cautioned against owning members of Frank Lampard’s defence:

I would like clear evidence of improvement in the backline before going anywhere near those Chelsea assets.

– James878

Advice that was borne out in Gameweek 3 as Chelsea shipped three goals to newly-promoted West Brom

Meanwhile, Portsmouth Bubblejet highlighted the problems of accommodating their exciting summer-signings, Timo Werner (£9.4m) and Kai Havertz (£8.4m), in their favoured – and most effective – positions.

But Chelsea-fan AK countered that once the injured Christian Pulisic (£8.3m) and Hakim Ziyech (£7.9m) return we should see a better balance to the first XI. And he argued that Werner can operate effectively as a No 9.

Elsewhere, managers have been asking what to do with the injured Son Heung-Min (£9.0m) – although it transpired today that the South Korean has a very small chance of playing this weekend. And I shared my thoughts about the unpredictable results we’ve seen so far. 

Value and Formation

Three members of the 12-strong The Great and The Good deployed their Wildcards ahead of Gameweek 3, although disappointingly not one received an immediate green arrow. The refreshed squads of Lateriser, Ville Ronka, and Meet the Manager guest Sean Tobin were examined by Greyhead in his latest offering.

The ageing wizard speculated that a formation switch to 3-4-3 might be on the cards, given the number of goals and penalties seen so far. Messrs Calvert-Lewin, Wilson and Maupay would appear to provide more value than a mid-range fifth midfielder.

This is a view shared by Steven Reinaldo Rusli who found that the best-performing forwards are currently offering better value than the best-performing midfielders. Delving into non-penalty expected goals, he predicts this trend will continue: Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.4m), Michail Antonio (£6.4m) and Richarlison (£8.0m) are all posting impressive underlying statistics compared to their midfield counterparts.

Meanwhile, value was the subject of an in-depth analysis from TorpedoToien in his Moneyball Perspective.

Casting his net as far back as 2014/15, the Community scribe made some interesting discoveries. The first is the importance of playing time:

On average going from 60 to 80 minutes played per Gameweek resulted in an increase of 20 points per season for defenders and midfielders and 30 points per season for forwards. It might not look like much, but across the 10 outfield players in your team, it will make a difference of 200 points a season.

– TorpedoToien

Over the last six seasons, the best value player in FPL based on starting price is Riyad Mahrez. Costing a mere £5.5m in Leicester’s title-winning campaign, the Algerian averaged a whopping 43.6 points per million.

However TorpedoToien notes:

Mahrez is one of just 11 midfielders or forwards among the 47 [to average 30 points per million or higher]. The remaining 36 are goalkeepers and defenders.

– TorpedoToien

Before examining goalkeepers in detail, he suggests that two benefits of favouring defenders could be:

  • Higher points per million compared to midfielders or forwards
  • Fewer attacking options to rotate, making transfer management easier

But in the comments section, Giggs Boson challenged this approach pointing out that we get 37 free transfers, two Wildcards and a Free Hit to change our teams. And, if we are willing to spend four points, we can make as many transfers as we want. 

Over a good set of fixtures, even a £12.0m player can be good value. If you dilute the money across the team, you can’t take advantage of the fixtures as well. You’re making lower impact transfers moving around £7.0m-£8.0m players than you are moving £11.5m-£12.0m players.

– Giggs Boson

Over the summer Hedge took his yearly look at player value, concluding that last season 3-4-3 and just one £10.0m+ player would have been the optimal strategy. The tricky part is obviously identifying those value-for-money players.

Like TorpedoToien, Hedge promotes a premium defender strategy but does favour a rotating £4.5m pair for one slot.

To help us identify this year’s must-own players, FPL Fetish submitted his eye-test review of Gameweek 3. Tariq Lamptey (£4.6m), Leandro Trossard (£6.0m), Solly March (£5.0m) and Neal Maupay (£6.5m) impressed for Brighton, while Tomas Soucek (£5.0m) and Michail Antonio (£6.4m) did likewise for West Ham.

Finally, Meltens previewed Gameweek 22 in Fantasy Allsvenskan and GAFFR.io looked ahead to Gameweek 3 in Fantasy Championship.

Fantasy Football Scout Mini-Leagues

League code: 5u05vz
Eligibility: Open to all

There are currently 47,734 people participating in the open-to-all Fantasy Football Scout mini-league.

Straight in at number one is Iddi Marzuk. A new entry this week, Iddi is 73rd overall after captaining Son for a 121-point haul in Gameweek 2 and then playing his Wildcard for 57 points in Gameweek 3.

Iddi is one point ahead of Devika Tiwari and last week’s leader حسام احمد (Hossam Ahmed) who share second place.

Fantasy Football Scout Community Members

League code: Available on Members page
Eligibility: Open to those with a registered FFScout account – paid or free.

Hamdy Sameeh takes over at the top of the Fantasy Football Scout Community Members mini-league and bags himself the first prize of the season. Hamdy wins the Manager of the Month award for September and takes home a £50 Amazon voucher. Hamdy, please contact Geoff (geoff@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk) to claim your prize.

The mini-league leader is 145th overall. He triple captained Vardy in Gameweek 1, played his Wildcard in Gameweek 2, and Bench Boosted in Gameweek 3. This is his third season.

We’re dishing out £2,500-worth of giveaways throughout the season, however only those who have registered a Fantasy Football Scout account (paid or free) will be able to claim a prize. Also, managers must be registered one month in advance of the awarding of a specific prize to be eligible.

Head-to-Head Leagues

Five managers in League 1 have made 100%-winning starts to the new campaign. The leader on rank-difference is Tim Hill who beat defending Head-to-Head champion Craig Johnson (aka Bouncebackability) 50-36 in Gameweek 3.

Tim has been playing FPL for 14 years and has six top 10,000 finishes, putting him 90th in this site’s Career Hall of Fame.

Three managers have flown out of the blocks this season: Martin Lilov in Division 15 of League 5, Michel Sanchez in Division 89 of League 9, and Nura Lexa in Division 52 of League 7. They all rank inside the top 1,000 overall.

But despite his explosive start Michel dropped points to Janek Polska last time out. The Polish manager earned himself a draw thanks to Jamie Vardy’s heroics at the Etihad Stadium.

A fixtures table will be published in the Scout’s Guide to Gameweek 4 ahead of the deadline. However, if you can’t wait to find out who you are playing next, follow this link. Use your browser’s find in page function (Ctrl+F) to locate managers.

Deadline: Open now until Gameweek 18*
*entrants must pass all previous safety scores to qualify

In TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing the safety score for Gameweek 3 was 29 points. This saw a total of 219 managers eliminated

The threshold for elimination remains at 5% for Gameweek 4.

3,598 managers have entered the competition so far and it is possible to join up until Gameweek 18 – although you must pass all previous safety scores to qualify.

You are able to keep tabs on the action throughout the season via Ragabolly’s website Live FPL.

Elite Community Mini-Leagues

Anders Sundstrom is the new leader of RedLightning’s Top 10k Any Season mini-league (league code 8kcvzq). Anders is 1,938th in the overall standings and has one top 10,000 finish in his ten years of playing FPL. He came 6,911th in 2011/12.

Surging to the summit of PDM‘s Top 1k ANY season mini-league (league code 2agvvx) is Paddy McEvoy. The Liverpool fan has one end-of-season rank inside the top 1,000 which he achieved back in 2012/13.

Paddy has started well and currently sits inside the top 10,000. He played his Wildcard in Gameweek 2 and picked up a respectable 60 points in Gameweek 3. This is his 12th season.

Despite dropping slightly to 34,358th overall, Henry Rawlins is unmoved at the top of Chaballer’s Top 1k HoF League (league code mr8dyh). Henry is 233rd in our Hall of Fame (HoF) and his impressive history includes four top 10,000 finishes, the best of which was 117th in 2014/15.

Meanwhile, elite manager Emil Gustafsson, sixth in the HoF, has established a six-point lead in RedLightning’s Multiple Top 10k Finishes mini-league (league code 8t42p6). This is Emil’s ninth season playing FPL, his impressive history includes five top 10,000 finishes and an amazing four top 2,000 finishes in the last five years.

An inspired decision to captain Mason Mount helped 2017/18 FPL winner Yusuf Sheikh increase his lead to 39 points in Simon March’s exclusive FPL Champions League. FPL titleholder Joshua Bull moves up to second following a 17-point haul from Jamie Vardy.

Pros and Cons

The Fantasy Football Scout Network mini-league is for the Scout Network and includes the Pro Pundits

In first place after Gameweek 3 is Christos Tsaras Sui (aka FPL Greece). Christos is currently 6,901st overall in what is his 13th season. He has an impressive three top 10,000 ranks, the best of which was in 2017/18 when he reached 200 in the final standings.

Former Scoutcast member and Mark’s erstwhile nemesis Lee Cowen (aka Granville) sits proudly atop the FFS Mods & Cons mini-league. Granville is 86,381st overall and has finished three times in the top 10,000 since FPL’s first recorded season back in 2006/07.

Elsewhere, Baz Zahathevan retained top spot in Skooldaze’s FPL Vets 2006 or before mini-league while Daniel Arnott is the new leader of Greyhead’s The Next Great and The Good mini-league. Daniel has opened up a ten-point gap over previous leader Rami Sameh

And in the world of Fantasy Allsvenskan, Love Hallersby is flying high – not only the no 1 in our mini-league but also the overall no 1!

It’s an incredible achievement and, with eight Gameweeks to go, we’re all rooting for him to finish the season strongly. Love hasn’t dropped out of the top ten since Gameweek 10. 

The amorously-named manager followed up a 107-point score in Double Gameweek 21 with a solid 59 in Gameweek 22, thanks to a 14-pointer from Stefano Vecchia. He has his second Wildcard and Two Captain chips intact.

Second-placed Jonathan Fletcher has an overall rank of 18 and trails Love by 48 points. He captained Jesper Karlsson in his final game for Elfsborg before moving to Az Alkmaar, but the Swedish international could only muster a disappointing six points. Like Love Hallersby, Jonathan has the second Wildcard and Two Captain chips remaining.

Lessons Learned from FPL Gameweek 3

TopMarx Fan of Fantasy Football and Monty Python. "Archimedes out to Socrates, Socrates back to Archimedes, Archimedes out to Heraclitus, he beats Hegel. Heraclitus a little flick, here he comes on the far post, Socrates is there, Socrates heads it in! Socrates has scored! The Greeks are going mad, the Greeks are going mad! Socrates scores, got a beautiful cross from Archimedes. The Germans are disputing it. Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside.

          Can never buy into a defence with Konsa and Taylor

          2 matches not enough data

          Leeds have excellent stats for 1.5 years now in defence ( compared to other mid level PL teams not the top 4)

        Hope so mate. What is that based on?

    Should I transfer out Son before international break and if so for who?

    1. Peter Ouch

      Keep, only one game to miss and this against utd, not an easy one

  5. Erez Avni

    How did KDB looked tonight?

    when I saw the lineup it seemed that he’s position is to deep

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Too deep

  6. Peter Ouch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I was set C on Kdb but after seeing tonight's game and how good they click with kdb slightly deeper I have second thoughts

    1. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'm pretty much sold on Jimi. Fulham defence could be the worst I've ever seen. #WhippingBoys

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Jimenez isn't explosive enough to be C pick.

      2. Peter Ouch
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Jimi has scored only 2 double digits last year and this year they don't seem that confident so far.
        Poor start as lost year.
        More like Ings for me!

        1. Limbo
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah, but Fulham defence.

          1. Peter Ouch
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Strong argument 🙂

        2. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          It's Salah time

          1. Peter Ouch
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            And its the last game so we will still hoping till Sunday evening for a good week haha

            1. Amey
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              Ha ha
              I'm on WC. Thinking about going with Raz.

              He's © material for GW 4 & 6 for me

              1. Peter Ouch
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 6 months ago

                I would do it especially if you are a bit behind.
                Then it's easy to swap to anyone

                1. Amey
                  • 5 Years
                  3 years, 6 months ago

                  Without KDB that is 😉

                  And yes, I'm 3m OR

    2. Erez Avni
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I feel the same and now considering maybe going with Ings...

      I’m on WC and KDB in a deeper position makes me think that maybe Sterling is the right choice....

  7. danlynch13
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Podence (if fit) or Trossard

    I think Trossard has looked great

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Trossard definitely

  8. Oggle22
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    KDB subbed off for a rest or pick up an injury?

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years

      Roast

      1. Limbo

      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Everyone thinks is a rest. I am not ruling an injury. There was still nearly half an hour to go. Enough time for Burnley to get back in the game. Could be some issue there.

      1. Syd.
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He was rested

        1. Tinkermania
          • 4 Years

          Doesn't always have to hit the deck if there is an injury!

    Vardy or Ings?

    1. Zimo

      Vardy

    2. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Inhs and spread the cash.

    3. ivantys

      I'll probably get both for long term with a rotating 6.5.

  10. Niho992

    Sterling red card incoming hopefully. Let's go.

      Is wumming all you ever do?

  11. Dannyb
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Rp
    Son and Werner to Zaha Vardy -4? Or just Son to Mahrez? Have Sterling and Foden so would be triple City Mids.

    1. ivantys
      • 3 Years

      Won't take Zaha for a hit.

  13. FPL_trail_runner

    KDB is a net 50,000 transfers in this week

    Sterling a net 5000 transfers out.

    Interesting how people react to both players getting 2 points.

    1. Dannyb
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sterling captain for me.

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      When a player reaches donkey status, they tend to be underappreciated by the mases. DCL and Sterling are prime examples. Giroud had that in the past, but seems to be respected more now.

  14. DazF90
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Poor outing this week but I’m fairly happy with this now, already done Werner to Ings before the drop, will probably bring in Watkins for Mitro in a few weeks too. G2G?

    Martinez (Forster)
    TAA - Saiss - Semedo (Lamptey, Mitchell)
    Salah - Klich - KDB - Rodriguez (Burke)
    Jimi - Mitro - Ings

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      G2G nice team

      1. DazF90
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks buddy! You all set for this GW?

        1. Hulk Smash
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I hope so pal. I made an early transfer unusually for me - Werner to DCL.

          McCarthy
          TAA Doherty Taylor (Webster Ayling)
          KDB Salah Foden Soucek (Romeu)
          DCL Ings Mitrovic

          Who's your captain?

          1. DazF90
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Looks good mate! Doherty could start firing soon aswell!

            On KDB at the moment, but Salah is close. The City game definitely gonna have goals and the way Leeds play possible pens, yet Targett gets quite far forward for Villa at times so Salah could get quite a lot of space in that game despite Villa looking much better defensively since restart.
            Its a tough call! Who you thinking?

            1. Hulk Smash
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 6 months ago

              The only reason Doherty is still in my team is because I don't think taking -4 for a defender is worth it with the scarcity of clean sheets at the moment. I think I will upgrade him to Robertson soon though.

              I've had KDB earmarked as captain for a while but now thinking Ings against WBA. Villa's good start defensively and Salah's less profitable away record puts me off him.

              1. DazF90
                • 9 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Oh yes Robbo definitely an upgrade, maybe Tagliafico if he ends ul at City too...

                Yes Ings another great option! Good luck whoever you chose

    Any reliable updates on Sons injury?

      No. But I have a theory Son was never injured and Mourinho just said he was because it would keep the heat off him for subbing him off at half-time to rest him.

        If mourinho rested him after 45 minutes with only 1 goal up then he doesn't deserve to be the manager anymore. Should have taken priority over carabaocup

      Zose said he will be back after the break

      If you've got the patience I'm sure it will work out fine

      Do you think Sterling will play on Saturday?

      1. BIG TONES
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Why wouldn't he? Jesus and Aguero both out injured.

            Would agree under normal circumstances, but all the injuries mean he's nailed for now imo. GL to you as well!

    Best midfield, 6m or under option. Collecting votes:

    Trossard (1)

    Pereira (2)

    Podence (1)

      Trossard, looks dangerous!

        Tonight? Even on the bench?

    Foden likelihood of starting after being rested today?

    2. n-doggg

      Pretty good chance. Although silva back getting minutes would be a worry

    3. Limbo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Rested or dropped?

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      70% Think he'll make an appearance regardless.

    5. xHaTr
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I reckon he might start this one since he got 60 mins at weekend and fully rested today

    6. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Haven't managed to solve peps roulette for years now

    7. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Think Torres, Sterling and Mahrez will be the front 3, so it'll either be B.Silva or Foden for the last attacking spot.

  20. JonSnow
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Haven't been able to watch due to work, how has Mahrez looked?

  21. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    This is how i'll look should i follow through witha -4

    Martinez
    Saiss - Robertson - James
    Trossard - Foden - Salah - KDB - Fernandes
    DCL - Jiminez

    Gonna do Son + Rdriguez >> Bruno + Trossard i reckon. Really not feeling this output from Hamez in this Everton team.

    Cheers guys.

      thats not worth a 4 pt hit for me....keep Hamez

    I always felt Mata was a great player. I find it a bit sad he's relegated to the other competitions, rather than the premier league

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years

      Lovely little player to watch. So intelligent on the ball.

      The problem is his lack of pressing intensity, and that's a big problem for what Ole wants to do. One weak link ruins the press.

      Shame, because he's a wonderful player. Remember him being a must have FPL player back in his prime, a member of the Power 5.

      1. Hybrid.power
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah for sure. He was great for Chelsea.

    Hammers leveled, Toffees can't defend.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years

      Digne @ CB, not surprised.

      1. F4L
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        nice goal tbf, not much the defence could have done

  24. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is Bernardo on the right or more central since he came on? I was hoping with the departure of David he'd play slightly more central again and might become an option this season, he was such good value during 18/19.

    Have Mahrez since last week but will he start at the weekend you think?

    1. Lestat
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      im worried that Torres/Foden/B Silva mght start ahead of him after Mahrez playin full 90 tonight.

    2. Nimby
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      If you only just got him you may as well stick for a while. He gets rotated a lot so if I get him Soucek is my safety net.

    is it worth a 4 pt hit getting rid of Son and Werner for Mahrez and Jimenez?

    1. n-doggg
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Nice moves

    2. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not sure Mahrez is worth the -4 with Son just out for one gw as it seems

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would just do Werner to Jimmy. Keep Son, who would you start in his place this week?

      1. Lestat
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Mitrovic is first sub....

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Oh no 🙂

          Guess that's down to you then, would you want Son back if he was fit for GW5?

    4. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Is the only other City player you have KDB? If so, then yes greet 🙂
      Any advice above please? 🙂

  29. HNI
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    What looks best from below
    1) Save FT play Justin vs WHM and hope Son is involved but miss out on some upsides below
    2) Son to Rodriguez
    3) Son to Mahrez
    4) Son to 4.5mn and Vassilev to Jiminez (-4)
    5) Son to 4.5mn and Justin/RJames to TAA (-4)
    Currently on 4th as feel Jiminez should repay over next 4 easily

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A easily, Justin could get a massive score

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1

    3. HNI
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Have Podence and Foden as other playing with Mitchell from bench which is concern too

  30. DAVESAVES
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Werner > DCL or Jimmy?

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      DCL
