With the international break almost over, we look back at our leagues across the Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Sky Sports and Sun Dream Team games and find out who is in pole position following Gameweek 3’s matches. We also discover whose bank balances are healthier in our exclusive link up with PlayON.

Fantasy Premier League

Stumanchu clings on to top spot with a score of 246 points and now sits in 21st position overall. Pablo Zabaleta’s 12 point haul at home to Hull and his bold decision to captain Michu proved crucial. Shenway Choo has leapt into second place with a Gameweek 3 score of 74 points after he made the brave move of captaining Zabaleta. Shenway is just one point behind Stumanchu and one point ahead of Tarik Alibou, who retains third place despite captaining Edin Dzeko – Ben Davies and Yaya Toure’s combined haul of 26 points helped spare his blushes. The code to join our FPL mini-league, which is top of the league of leagues, is 1580-1106.

In our FPL Fantasy Football Scout Members league James Floyd is in first place and has a score of 238 points overall; Pablo Hernandez ended up being his trump card. Sam Gillespie is in second and in third is Ivan Heneghan.

Torres Magic tops the Fantasy Football Scout Contributors and Moderators league through his safety first captaincy of Theo Walcott. Tinkerman is in second and was another to hand the armband to the Arsenal winger, while Greenwindmill is in third as the moderators dominate the league and leave the contributors looking up in envy.

Sky Sports Fantasy Football

With a score of 318 points, Josie O’Neil tops our league in the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game, while Mary Humberstone’s haul of 312 points is enough for second and Nick Whitrid is in third with a score of 309 points. The winner of our Sky league, which is number one in the league of leagues, wins £1,000. To join, visit Sky Sports Fantasy Football and key in League Name: FFScout, League Code: 8000112.

The Sun Dream Team

In our Sun Dream Team league Lee Walpole is in pole position with a score of 266. His selection of Daniel Sturridge, who has a haul of 42 points, coupled with a reliance on Tottenham and Arsenal players has proved a successful strategy for Lee. In second is Sam Hutchinson, who adopted a similar tactic and now has 250 points. Tim Mongiat completes our top three with a score of 242. 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 Andrew Foskett took first place and winnings of £64.60, with Paul Jenkins in second with £43.20 and John Wallace in third with winnings of £25.70. Andrew’s selection of Olivier Giroud and Swansea defender Ben Davies proved particularly inspired.

      Brady in my view. Hull at home vs Cardiff

      Southampton aren't weak at the back and are at home, so will be tough for West Ham.

      Nolan could score the only goal in a 1-0/1-1 game, but I wouldn't expect more than a goal for WHM so you're banking a lot on Nolan being involved. Hull could score 2 or more, gives Brady more chance to be involved.

        Good point about West Ham not scoring more than Hull. I do usually go with the home player, but Nolan's goal threat > Brady's imo. Can't split them

      I genuinely feel Nolan is a nobody without Carroll based on last season's stats. That's why I was so shell shocked he scored once already.

    The atmosphere come 12:45 onwards on saturday is going to be nasty.

    Lots of non rvp owners shouting off before the game about how he won't score and the rvp owners shouting them back down.

    Then non rvp owners talking about how rvp hasn't scored after 5 mins and how this proves isn't worth it.

    An rvp goal will turn cause chaos with rvp owners coming back and taunting the non rvp owners whilst non rvp owners try to get on the transfer page to work out how to fit rvp into their team. It's going to be crazy.

      On a wildcard (didn't want to but getting too far behind), had RvP the whole time - can't not have him now for this game.

      If you don't have him, that game is going to be very very scary.

      yes and yes (though Evans won't sit on the bench all season) But he's not worth it, no goal threat, never really goes forward anymore

      for 5.5 I'd rather have Mert, Nasty or Sakho
