With leagues across the Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Sky Sports and Sun Dream Team games as well as a link up with PlayON there is plenty of opportunity for our community to get involved across a wide range of competitions.  In our latest Fantasy Football Scout round up, we profile this week’s league leaders.

Fantasy Premier League

A Gameweek 2 score of 55 was enough for Stumanchu to retain top spot in our  Fantasy Premier League (FPL) mini-league. He now has 186 points and climbs to third place overall thanks to his captaincy of Roberto Soldado and eight point hauls from Olivier Giroud and Kolo Toure. Tang Window, who captained Edin Dzeko, takes second place and sits four points behind our leader, while James Martin, who is in third place on 177 points, was another to captain Dzeko last week; he also had Tottenham’s Kyle Walker amongst his other top performers. The code to join our FPL league, which is top of the league of leagues, is 1580-1106.

Ross Gillard, who scored 66 points this week,  is now sitting top of our Fantasy Football Scout Members league in the FPL game. He has a total score of 175 and sits in 130 place overall, with his decision to captain Giroud proving decisive. Sam Gillespie is equal on points with Ross, but lies in second after taking a points hit in Gameweek 2. Third placed James Floyd is close behind on 172 points – James’s leftfield selection of Sunderland’s Emmanuele Giaccherini, who accrued 9 points, proved a smart move.

Last week’s Fantasy Football Scout Contributors and Moderators league leader Mark was among those left disappointed by Robin Van Persie. His resolute allegiance to the Dutchman saw him slump to fifth, with last year’s Contributors league victor and no-RVP advocate Andy moving to joint first alongside Green Windmill. Torres Magic hangs on to his third place with a total score of 144, although Granville is hot on his heels with a score of 139.

Sky Sports Fantasy Football

With a total points haul of 269 Josie O’Neil moves from second to first in our Fantasy Football Scout league in the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game. Mary Humberstone moves from third to second with a score of 264 and last week’s league leader Leanne Dean falls to joint third with Nick Whitrid on 260 points. Leanne’s decision to field exclusively Chelsea and Aston Villa players is set to see her either slip further or force her to make several transfers this week. As with last week, we continue to top Sky’s league of leagues.

The winner of our Sky league wins £1,000. To join, visit Sky Sports Fantasy Football and key in League Name: FFScout, League Code: 8000112.

The Sun Dream Team

Heavy investment in Arsenal and Tottenham helped Lee Walpole secure first place in our Sun Dream Team league. He has nine players from the North London rivals, with Tottenham striker Roberto Soldado’s 28 points  proving vital to his  points tally of 196. Charles Mouzon, who at one point last season was number one in the FPL game, is in second with 188 points thanks to Daniel Sturridge’s 34 points and similar investment in Tottenham’s assets. In third lies Tim Mongiat on 187 points. Tim’s star players include Soldado and Arsenal’s Kieron Gibbs. To join visit  The Sun Dream Team, league name: Fantasy Football Scout, password: ReWOZhn1T1 and PIN: 8061654.

PlayOn £2 Game

In our exclusive Fantasy Football Scout PlayON £2 Game Jamie Boyd claimed first place and winnings of £87 thanks to points hauls from Sturridge, David Silva, Charlie Adam and Ryan Shawcross. Andrew Foskett grabbed second place and winnings of £58, and third-placed Karl Pickard enjoys £34.51 haul. In case you missed them, our PlayON player picks for this weekend can be found right here.

    Off to bed. Leave with final thought. If the only two players you're considering captaining are between Silva and Walcott, please choose Walcott. That is all. Night.

        Thanks. I have no doubt that getting rid of Lukaku is the best choice but is Studge the best replacement considering my front line and that I have Coutinho?

          i think it's fascinating. just wondering what's up with it. it's either the exact XI with one played (yaya and richards) swapping groups. or there are a couple more changes so it's actually more mixed up than it appears.

    After endless internal debates I ended with this:

    Mignolet

    Shaw / Collins / Coleman

    Barkley / Silva (vc) / Walcott (c) / Mirallas

    Dzeko / Soldado / Van Persie

    ...

    Lewis / Kim / Turner / Toure

    I figured my team will do well across the board (Famous last words)

    Which is why I hope come 4pm on Sunday, I can look at my team score, put my feet up, light a cigar, pour myself a glass of scotch (Ala Ron Burgandy) and watch Wally top of my GW nicely.

    Best of luck to all.

          Haha! Sorry man, you have silva there facing a hull team who for the first ten mins will probably park the bus, but once city's pass and move starts to kick in they will destroy them, and silva has to be part of that, walcott is against spurs, a very strong defensive team, walker will be on walcott like no tomorrow, just makes sense to go with silva imo.

    i genuinely hate pantilimon for not leaving man city in this window. comes in and never puts a foot wrong, shafted for the fa cup final, which made some sense tbf, but then hart was found wanting for the winning goal corner.
    error after error and pantilimon still looks no closer to ever getting a game, what's the point being there, if he wont get a start now he never will. would like to think footballers want to play football.

      Or they just want to take it easy and enjoy the money. Ask Kaka if you don't believe.

    [OFF TOPIC - Just a question I have...]

    I need to make some money quickly.
    Preferably online.

    I can write articles/reviews and do decent graphic design. I have also built a couple of simple websites that I could get to rank on the 'old' Google.

    Any idea how I can get these skills to work for me and earn some extra £££? Ty 🙂

    Just before my weary head hits the hay and I nod off to bed...

    Start with Ravel and maybe get an annoying point...(yet maybe a start, goal and assist!)

    Or start with ward and probably get two points, more if I'm lucky..

    My eyes are heavy...god speed with your responses...

    if i was pelligrini i'd actually play kolarov tomorrow/today. surely hull will park the bus and try and get city on the counter and on set-pieces. if so kolarov almost allowed the ball 30 yards out would be an asset imo

      Hull will 'try' to park the bus, but after 10 mins city will be all over them imo, and i'm a utd fan haha.
      I do agree with you though, kolarov should play.

            Right, thanks, I've done it. Better to take the (minimal) risk and be done with it I reckon. The only benefit of saving the transfer would have been to squeeze in RVP for a smaller hit somewhere down the line.
