With leagues across Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Sky Sports and Sun Dream Team there is plenty to catch up on following the international break. We look at those who have excelled during Gameweek 4 and those who are a little richer after having a great week in our PlayON game.

Fantasy Premier League

Gameweek 4 proved a curse for Stumanchu, the previous leader of our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) mini-league. Despite an excellent score of 69 points he has slipped to second – Menat Gosavi’s score of 83 points was enough to clinch top spot, thanks to his Christian Benteke captaincy and investment in both Aaron Ramsey and Hatem Ben Arfa; Menat has also climbed to fourth in the overall rankings. In third place is another Aaron Ramsey owner, David Wilson, who notched up a score of 76 points. The code to join our FPL league, which is currently top of the league of leagues, is 1580-1106.

Our Fantasy Football Scout Members league also has a new face at the summit, with Corey Solveira taking a two point lead with a Gameweek score of 77 points. Hatem Ben Arfa and a Olivier Giroud captaincy proved crucial to Corey’s ascent. Michu-owning Matthew Jenkins sits in second place, while Ivan Heneghan’s captaincy of Ben Arfa helped him keep a firm grip on third place.

Annoyingly for those of us languishing at the foot of the Fantasy Football Scout Contributors and Moderators’ FPL league Greek Fan has finally worked out the entry code and joins in first place. Last year’s victor Andy rises to second and our newest member of the moderator team Athletico Timbo takes third.

Sky Sports Fantasy Football

With a score of 388 Nick Whitrid moves from third to first in our Sky Sports Fantasy Football league, with Josie O’Neil slipping to second and Mary Humberstone falling one place to third, with her second team in fourth. The winner of our Sky league, which is joint top of 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

Lee Walpole tops our Sun Dream Team league with a score of 345 after some heavy investment in Tottenham and Arsenal. Just two of his players, Leighton Baines and Robin Van Persie, are from teams outside of North London. In second is Simon Wall with a score of 315, while Sam Hutchinson and Charles Mouzon share third place with a score of 314. All points are, of course, subject to change tonight following the Europa League ties. To join visit The Sun Dream Team, league name: Fantasy Football Scout, password: ReWOZhn1T1 and PIN: 8061654.

PlayOn

Anthony Squires was the winner of PlayON’s £1,000 guaranteed game with a haul of £384 thanks to a team selection that included Giroud and Ben Arfa. Carl Lane takes second and a pot of £256 and in third is Daniel Kings, who is now £152.32 richer.

In our exclusive Fantasy Football Scout PlayON £2 game a total of £232 was on offer. Kev Mather was in first place and won £69.60 after selecting, among others, Giroud and Ramsey. Anthony Squires was successful again, taking second place and winnings of £46.40 and in third place, with £18.56 in his pocket, was David Burraway.

UEFA Champions League

In our UEFA Champions League all our top three competitors captained Cristiano Ronaldo and have Lionel Messi, David Alaba, Atsuto Uchida and Isco in their sides. These five players brought them 89 points in total. Mak Gold, with a total score of 130 and an 8th place overall ranking, is first, None the Less is in second and in third is Rraya. The details for joining our UEFA Champions League mini-league are: league name FFScout, league code 1209685-489925.

            He only played 30mins.or 1/3 of the game.

            Therefore, logically, he would have got a hattrick if he played all 90.

          He scored a great goal, but don't forget they were playing a side fighting for relegation from the Norwegian league, hardly top drawer opposition.

          Still a good signing given his price tag mind you.

        I asked earlier whether for this week

        A) RVP and Nolan
        or
        B) Rooney and Eriksen?

        The reason is I was planning to stick with A this week and save trannie, then do A to B next week plus Soldado to Suarez for the hit, but was thinking I may as well take the hit this week and do Soldado to Suarez free next week and avoid Nolan drop and Eriksen rise this week

              Nice to he he's finally got the work permit! He better live up to the hype in my mind.

              I think AVB would prefer Vert at LB over Naughton, giving Kaboul and Dawson CB. Let's see, it's the Cheslea game which will reveal his most favoured option.

                Just a gut feeling but i think that game will see Dawson dropped for the 1st time this season

        Top players don't always equate to large point hauls.

        Not 100% convinced Erikson is a strong FPL buy at 8.0m. Top top player though...

          Oh very well said, but at 8m, if he keeps the points ticking like Silva used to in his first season, I would be a satisfied owner.

          It's too early to say FPL-wise. He has great promise though, and is easily 1.0m cheaper than his peers.

              Dawson really struggles against pace....Kaboul and Chirches could easily be over him in my opinion. But yes, I kinda feel disappointed to site of the side while many enjoy Dawson's points on a weekly basis.

                Fullbacks need pace though not necessarily CBs....look at Mert....Dawson is not a super good defender yes, but he's nailed on in my book until he misses two consecutive games.
