The Fantasy Football Scout Leagues Round-Up

With no Frisking the Fixtures articles left this season, our schedule is freed up to assess the progress of our Fantasy Football Scout leagues across a variety of games. With leagues in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Ultimate Fantasy Premier League, Sky Sports, Sun Dream Team and Champions League games, we have plenty to analyse:

Fantasy Premier League

Last week’s ScoutCast guest Luke Weston continues to lead the way at the top of the Scout league and overall standings. The world number one earned 70 points last week, with Leighton Baines, Christian Eriksen, Sergio Aguero and captain Luis Suarez all delivering double-figure returns as Luke moved onto 2,452 points thus far.

Tom Fenley has narrowed the gap to just two points after an 89-point return in Gameweek 35. Tom also had the above-mentioned quartet but crucially had Raheem Sterling’s 18 points to thank for yet another outstanding week.

Rasmus Sundman also had Baines, Eriksen, Aguero and captain Suarez on board as he produced 74 points last time around. Rasmus – who has finished inside the top 1,000 in each of the last two seasons – is sixth overall on 2,410 points.

Barry Curran deserves credit for a bold decision last weekend. He took a 12-point hit to draft in the likes of Aaron Ramsey, Aguero and Eriksen and with Martin Demichelis and Julian Speroni also delivering the returns, he climbed up to seventh overall after an 87-point Gameweek.

Eoin Maye completes our top five thanks to 78-point haul. Once again, Baines, Aguero and captain Suarez were key contributors, as was Ramsey’s 16 points away to Hull, whilst Palace pair Speroni and Joel Ward delivered yet another clean sheet.

Thanks to the extraordinary endeavours of our top five, Fantasy Football Scout remain top of the League of Leagues. To join up, the league code is 1580-1106.

In the Fantasy Football Scout Members league,Tom Fenley leads the way. Jono McPhillipsis in second spot on 2,402 points, whilst Luke van Lelyveld is just one point further back in third. The Members league is now placed fourth in the League of Leagues.

Ultimate Fantasy Premier League

Bogdan Radu leads the way in our Scout league for the Beta phase of the Ultimate game. With 847 points, he is well-placed in third spot overall, whilst Chris Pearce is tucked in just behind in second on 844 points, or fourth overall. Osita Oniah takes third, with 840 points earning him fifth in the overall standings so far.

Sky Sports Fantasy Football

Dammy Olubokun’s pair of teams are joint-first in the Scout league, with 2,432 points apiece. Dammy could well be in with a shout of winning the overall game – his sides sit just four points off the summit in joint-second. In third spot in the Scout League is our very own Luke Williams, who writes our Friday afternoon Sky Sports Focus articles under the name d1sable – Luke’s team has racked up 2,401 points, earning him seventh spot in the overall standings. The winner of our Sky league, which is also top in the league of leagues, wins £1,000.

Sun Dream Team

Geoff Pryor is the runaway leader of the Scout league with a total of 1,964 points. His tactic of loading up on three of Chelsea’s backline and Liverpool’s front two has paid off so far and helped him into fifth in the overall standings, 50 points off the top. Charles Mouzon clearly knows what he’s doing in the Sun game – four of his teams complete our top five, though his highest scoring XI is still some 136 points behind Geoff. The winner of our Sun league also picks up £1,000.

Champions League

Ahead of Real Madrid’s first-leg semi-final home encounter with defending champions Bayern Munich this evening, pavel 123 is top in the Scout league on 767 points – he is also first in the overall standings. Diegocho33 is just behind on 757 points, or fifth overall, whilst third position goes to Rene Higuita, who sits in sixth overall with 746 points.

Fantasy Football Scout Cup

Our Members Cup IV is set to reach the semi-final stage this weekend, whilst the Fantasy Football Scout Cup IX is down to the final eight managers. We’ll be sorting the draw later today and will publish an article on both cups tomorrow.

        It was the only advice in UCL so don't you say against me. As I say there I was 0.5m short of Muller to Benzema. I needed to do another hit. Check the discussion. I propose to anyone who can to do that transfer
