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.

      only ?marks for me would be Rio & Wilson at the back. Rio will have some rotation and may sub-on late for 1 on occasion. I'm still not convinced Wilson stays in the starting 11, but do want to get him if he does.

      And when Sturridge gets injured (yeah, quite likely) and you have a goal scoring machine classed as a mid playing up front... It's a bit like saying Rooney and Aguero should also be miss as they don't exactly play as the centre forward.

        In my odd life of monitoring two kids 14 months and 2 days old respectively, I've managed to skim through all the comments of today while keeping an eye on one kid or the other while sleeping, playing and doing various things that nearly pushed me over the edge (e.g. climbing on top of a scooter with wheels to try to reach something on a shelf that is supposed to be out of reach - not the 2 day old).

        Long story short, your post was the best of the last 24 hours. Thanks.

      Nice team (though I can only guess at the subs).
      Dawson & Toure might find themselves on the bench before too long. Dawson started in the Europa League, so he's likely to be rested in favour of Chiriches (sp?) on sunday. Toure did not start on Monday even though he was supposedly fit.

            After that, you can scroll back and forth through GWs with the +/- in the top left corner of your team graphic (the pitch your team is on) so you can see how your team works for the next 3/4/9/20/whatever GWs, home and away, weak and difficult opposition, etc.

      Lamela may disappoint. Second-hand info on my part as I've never really seen him play, but he is apparently not too interested in physical play, shying away from it. He might not really be suited for the English game.

        Hazard and Lambert will be the 2 FT out if no transfer is made for this GW. Moses and Benteke likely to get in, unless Lukaku shines and there's also room for Eriksen. Do you think this would work out better than going for Lukaku in-Lambo out?

      GK & D is fine enough; got a few issues going forward with the mids

      Adam Johnson - Sunderland's schedule is bad and the manager is more than a bit nutty

      Nolan - maybe, as he's the main man with Carroll out for the forseeable future, but their fixtures start getting tougher than the start of the season soon

      Williams of Crystal Palace should be upgraded to Puncheon after GW6 (Puncheon can't play GW6 b/c he can't play against his partent club Southampton)

      that said, no one you own is going down in value, and it's much easier to rearrange your team with 2FTs than with 1. I'd hold through this week and start sorting it next week (unless you have money in the bank to upgrade either AJ or Lambo now). After this weekend too, you'll know a little better if Lukaku is an option if you're disappointed in Lambert still; and you'll also know if you'd consider downgrading RVP to Rooney which would free up a lot of cash to upgrade elsewhere.

        Valencia?

        He played well mid-week. 7.5 is a fair price. Would like to see a nailed on skeleton formed by Moyes. Valencia has started every game, but he's been subbed off twice near the 60 mark (once before, once after). Good shout and seems to be more fitting with Moyes system than Shinji.

        There was a good article about how Kagawa doesn't really fit the ManU system as it stands on Yahoo (someone else originally posted and would credit if I could remember who): http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/pitchside-europe/kagawa-become-manchester-united-misfit-115912650.html

        That said. I worry that folks on this site have put too much weight on players' form and manager's choices for mid-week games when Champion's League and Europa are very different animals from the Prem tactically (knockout vs. a grind, like the difference between a classic FPL league and a head to head league where the bottom teams are knocked out every few weeks (ah yes, that's TorresMagic's expertise)).

        Last problem with Tony V is that the new bonus system isn't giving good value to midfielder with 1 assist in a game. So, he'd have to become ManU's #3 goal scorer behind RVP and Rooney to be "worth it" even at 7.5, I think. Bears watching, good shout.

      Hernandez (pablo) is stil 24% of the way toward rising. His price won't drop this week. Hold him and wait for your next FT.

      No point in going to Ramsey for a hit now. Ramsey has risen as much as he can this week. His price won't change again unti Saturday at earliest.

      Lastly, please add one T to your name and change your grav to this (fromt the TV show Knight Rider if you don't know it): http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01475/kitt_1475795c.jpg

        haha no I like my current Grav a little bit more than the one you want me to revert to.

        and Kit is last three letters of my first name and if I add another T to the end I'll lose my Identity. 🙂

        I think I'll hold off on Ramsey now, it's probably the smart move here.
