With time to take stock and assess the lay of the Fantasy landscape, we cast an eye over the Fantasy Football Scout leagues across a variety of games. With leagues in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Sky Sports, Sun Dream Team and Champions League games, we have plenty to analyse:

Fantasy Premier League

Luke Weston leads the way on 1,406 points. At the back, he has the likes of Seamus Coleman and Per Mertesacker, whilst Theo Walcott, Eden Hazard, David Silva and Yohan Cabaye are amongst his midfield five. Up top, Luis Suarez, Wayne Rooney and Alvaro Negredo lead the line for Luke, who is also the overall world number one right now.

In second spot sits the world number two, Andry Marpaung. He, too, has Coleman and Mertesacker at the back, with City’s Pablo Zabaleta also part of his defence, whilst Walcott and Cabaye are joined by Kevin Mirallas and Adnan Januzaj in midfield – Andry has opted to retain the stricken Aaron Ramsey on his bench for the meantime. Up top, Loic Remy joins Rooney and Suarez for Andry, who sits 13 points off the summit on 1,393 points.

Luke van Lelyveld climbs to third spot in the Scout league. Again, there are similarities – Coleman and Mertesacker at the back, Walcott, Hazard and Cabaye (joined by Jesus Navas) in midfield, with Rooney and Suarez alongside Romelu Lukaku in the front three. Luke is 16th overall on 1,363 points and is also number one in the Scout Members league.

In fourth spot sits Stian V ge Welde, who is equal on points with Luke and 18th overall. Coleman and Mertesacker are joined by John Terry at the back, whilst Walcott and Cabaye are selected along with Peter Whittingham, Roberto Koren and the injured Ramsey in midfield. Similar to Luke, Stian has also opted for a Rooney/Suarez/Lukaku front three.

Michael Atkins completes our top five after scoring 60 points last time around – more than any of our featured managers. His decision to pair Mertesacker with Bacary Sagna paid off at home to Cardiff, whilst Walcott, Cabaye, Hazard and Silva are joined by Rooney, Suarez and Lukaku up front. Michael is also on 1,363 points – 19th overall.

Clearly, then, whilst our quintet have slightly different teams, there’s a definite pattern emerging, with six players – Coleman, Mertesacker, Walcott, Cabaye, Suarez and Rooney – in each of the five sides. Thanks to their efforts, the Fantasy Football Scout league is top of the Best Leagues as we look to defend our title once again.

In the Fantasy Football Scout Members league, Luke van Lelyveld leads the way, as mentioned. Colin Smyth takes second spot on 1,332 points, whilst a trio of managers (Joe Wilkinson, Andrew Fong and Craig Till) are tucked in behind on 1,319 points apiece.

Sky Sports Fantasy Football

Dammy Olubokun sits in first and second spot. Both his teams are on 1,448 points, which is 14 points ahead of our former leader, Ben Broadhurst, in third position. Dammy’s two teams are joint-third in the overall standings, whilst Ben joins him in the top 10 – he’s currently seventh in the world so far. The winner of our Sky league, which is also top in the league of leagues, wins £1,000. To join, visit Sky Sports Fantasy Football and key in League Name: FFScout, League Code: 8000112.

Sun Dream Team

Charles Mouzon is the leader of the Scout League with a current overall score of 1,110 points. His decision to load up on four Arsenal defensive options along with Seamus Coleman has worked wonders, though he currently has injury concerns over the likes of Sergio Aguero, Aaron Ramsey, Paulinho, Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud – of his six midfielders and forwards, then, only Luis Suarez is currently available.

Dan Ward is 16 points behind in second spot. He’s selected the entire Arsenal back-four and keeper and opted for a 4-4-2 but, like Charles, has injury worries ahead – aside from his defenders, only Yaya Toure and Mousa Dembele are fit for selection.

Geoff Pryor completes the top three on 1,089 points. He’s overlooked the Gunners completely at the back and doubled up on Chelsea instead, whilst, further up the field, he has far fewer problems than his rivals – Toure, Suarez, Alvaro Negredo and Oscar are all injury-free.

The winner of our Sun League also earns themselves £1,000 – to join, visit The Sun Dream Team, league name: Fantasy Football Scout, password: ReWOZhn1T1 and PIN: 8061654.

Champions League

DIEGOCHO33 is the Scout League leader after the completion of the group stages. He sits on 487 points – second in the overall rankings and just six points off the summit. Tankax takes second position, with a total of 459 points enough to earn 32nd place overall, whilst socalledstars11 is third in our round-up, five points back and in 61st spot in the world.

PlayON

Mark Dowson finished top of the pile in PlayON’s exclusive Fantasy Football Scout £2 game last time around. He takes away £36.43 for his troubles after loading up on five Liverpool and three Arsenal players in midweek. Second placed David Burraway is £24.42 richer, whilst Steve Legg picks up £18.48 for finishing third.

Fantasy Football Scout Cup

We’ve reached the Seventh Round of the Scout Cup and are now down to the final 16. The ties take place over Gameweek 21 – if you fancy having a look at who is still involved, click here for the latest draw.

    Asked before I am sure, but if Walcott's injury is 3-4 week recovery date, who do we draft back in for him assuming people already have Yaya/Silva + Hazard/Oscar and Lallana?

    Not convinced by Ozil or Gerard as an option. Don't think Ramses II will be as good as Ramses I

    Suggest Erikson?

          I like Ozil.
          Would prefer to spread teams…got to have at least 1 ARS, 1 MCI and 1 CHE for a start..then double a 4th if you have pots of money and don't want Lallana/Gerrard/Cabaye.

                  On demand with the box thing, not just the one you get with sky +
                  If you don't have the box sky offer it free now and again but you can phone them and try and blag one.
                  Though if you do get one make sure you have unlimited internet, as it takes a fair amount to download films

                      Do you use 3D much. Didn't get one cause of my motion sickness, but got told that you have limited viewing angles to get good views

                        I've used it 3 times now in 3D. I've not watched it from any real angle from centre, but my mother has sat at an angle from it and still had the 3D effect, otherwise she would've moaned haha!! But it is impressive.. Especially Pacific Rim -- Jesus Christ! That was amazing. My girlfriend also suffers from motion sickness and is apprehensive to try it, so I bought her one of those travel bracelets and we're going to test it out soon. Maybe get one of those if they work?

                            Good value. And you said you don't need 3D.

                            LG is good but the Viera's are best value for that range. Don't get Samsung, you're paying for the brand.

                            I just bought a 50 inch Sony myself, mainly because there's a free PS4 promo here that comes with it. $800 for a 50 inch basically 😀

                            Therefore.......

                            SAR is 100% essential.

                              But having such a strong strikeforce may mean not having one of the 'essential' mids.

                                Who are the essential mids?

                                Ramsey for the price
                                Hazard for Chelsea
                                Those 2 I think all can I agree on

                                Who else?

                                  A lot will say one of Walcott/Ozil, Yaya/Silva are essential.

                              Big IF in your first posting though….

                              In an ideal world that'd be my preferred frontline (and everyone else's ?)- but would have to go 2 cheap mids to fund it….

                              ..and need MUN to keep playing well and Roo to get a clean bill of health. Abductor injuries can grumble on for a long time - can't kick without it !

                        All this time I have been structuring my WC around how to get Aguero into the fold.

                        The thought hit me that I can instead focus on a damn good front 8 rotation; with the only downside being that I have to bench one of them.

                        How does this look?

                          I doubt he was banned, he's a good guy, seen him around not too long ago. Last I saw him we both bought Cazorla for a hit 😀

                        I love how the season of goodwill brings people together, the warm gestures, the offer of a drink, the the New years Eve display of love for all, fueds forgotten with a firm sincere handshake, massive group hugs whilst singing Auld Lang whatever, us all together as one, forever. Then a day later it all decends back to a spiteful, mean spirited petty pile of shite!

                                    I have Silva already. This big hitter is for 4th spot.

                                    Silva, Hazard, Walcott take the first 3 spots

                                      Lallana might be the best option then, who's your front 3?

                                          Probably A then. I'm not convinced by Ade tho, Giroud probably a better option long-term or even Remy.

                              Just as a broad point..I have never understood the view that "leaving points on the bench" or a "benching dilemma" is a problem..If you leave points on your banch then yes it's annoying if they outscore those in your team, IF !...but surely you have missed those points whether they are in your squad or not...and next week if they are on your bench you will have them available to play..or bench again if need be..Why is having Jedinak on your bench for his 2 pts better than somebody like Cabaye on your bench for six points who you may well play the following week ?..It seems like flawed logic sometimes.

                                It's just a case of what might have been. But look at how often you need your bench - it's surprisingly high. I'd rather have points on my bench, than players who don't play or who get 2 points every week.

                                    Yeah, luckily I benched Debuchy again and that time he didn't come off the bench following his red!

                                      he's a good pick again though when he's back..even if he is a hot head.

                                Trouble is - it's getting the balance right.
                                you are going to have to bench 3 players - and getting the best points scorers out there and still having reliable scorers on the bench isn't easy to juggle.

                                I have 5 and have used my FT. The trouble is that we probably won't have a very good idea of who is actually out until it is too late to bother WCing this GW, so I think I'll wait a few days for any updates r.e Rooney, Walcott etc. and decide then whether to WC.

                                            No news until Friday.
