With the third international break of the season upon us, we’re afforded time to assess the leader contenders in the Fantasy Football Scout leagues across in a variety of games. With leagues in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Ultimate Fantasy Premier League, Sky Sports and the Fantasy iTeam (FiT) Champions League game, there’s plenty to catch up on.

Fantasy Premier League

Adam Stuckert sits atop the Scout League with a total of 758 points after the first 11 Gameweeks. Adam – who notched 72 points in the previous round of fixtures – had the likes of Tim Krul, Nathaniel Clyne, Leighton Baines, Alexis Sanchez, Sergio Aguero and captain Graziano Pelle to thank for steering him to number one in the overall standings.

Vasil Raykov is just seven points behind in second spot, or third overall. He also has the likes of Baines, Clyne, Sanchez, Pelle and Aguero on board, with Brad Guzan, Gylfi Sigurdsson, Nacer Chadli and Diego Costa amongst his starters as he racked up 89 points last time around despite, like Adam, handing the armband to Pelle. Intriguingly, Vasil is the only one of our top five to have played his wildcard at this stage.

In third spot sits Matthew Furlong, on the back of a 92-point Gameweek 11. His decision to captain Aguero paid off handsomely, with the usual suspects such as Baines, Clyne, Sanchez, Sigurdsson, Chadli and Costa all amongst the points last time around.

Matthew sits just one point ahead of both Petter Gullestad and Mariusz Fyrstenberg. Petter registered 79 points in Gameweek 11, with his decision to captain Aguero reaping rewards, whilst he also had the likes of Baines, Sigurdsson and Sanchez as part of his starting XI. Another one to hand the armband to Aguero, Mariusz delivered 82 points – he’ll be hoping his decision to retain United’s Angel di Maria will prove a differential amongst our top five.

Thanks to those five managers, we’re currently retaining our spot at the top of the League of Leagues. You can join our classic league using the code 11856-4526.

Hitesh Gulati is a new entry at number one in the Scout Members league, which sits fifth in the league of leagues. He sits fifth in the overall standings, despite deciding to ignore the consistent Leighton Baines to this point, with 749 points accrued. Peter Chesley earns second spot with a total of 731 points, just edging Matt Summers into third by a single point.

Ultimate Fantasy Premier League

Lawrence White is the leader of our UFPL Scout league, after a 99-point haul in Gameweek 11 took his total to 884 for the season – second overall. Joe Hanmer is in second spot with his total of 869 points placing him 13th in the world, whilst Geoff Shotter is 13 points further behind in third spot. To join our UFPL league, use the code 524-87.

Sky Sports Fantasy Football

Jason Callender leads the way in the Scout league with a total of 826 points – that’s enough for third place in the overall standings and earns him a 38-point lead over our second place manager, Ryan Hutton. Martin Smith takes third spot after Gameweek 13 of the Sky Sports offering, with a total of 782 points helping to 32nd spot overall. The winner of our Sky league, which is also top in the league of leagues, wins Β£1,000. To join up, the league name is FFScout and the code is 8009000.

Champions League

Our official Champions League game this season is the Fantasy iTeam (FiT) offering – a free, reliable and easy-to-use Fantasy football app. After four rounds of Matchdays, Daniel Lord heads the Scout League with 328 points, whilst Waleed Cherif (314 points) and Simon Gow, on 313 points, grab second and third respectively. There’s an iPad mini on offer to the winner – the league name is Fantasy Football Scout and the pin is 11155.

We’ve set up another league for those still following the official Champions League game. Simon Butt is the leader on 316 points – 28th overall – and is followed by sidharth91 and gkalaf on 315 and 313 points respectively.

            original is a uk one. looks dated but is amazing. I like the Netflix remake, but the original is sooo much better and Urquhart's character makes more sense and is much more manipulative

          Carrick is back, albeit perhaps temporally injured. Like for like in style, except Carrick is much better IMO.

          1. SW6
            • 13 Years

            Have never understood the Carrick hype. He's an English Mikel

            1. Wilshere Knowledge
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 4 months ago

              Carrick is a very clever player. Good defensively, and always plays forward passes from deep. Very underrated, IMO.

                To be honest I think I decided on it years ago as a grav that would eventually be fairly recognisable. I kinda just hung onto it then, have changed the very odd time but not too much (usually it stays Vader based, it also lets me make terrible Star Wars jokes πŸ˜‰ )

    What are people's opinions on Sakho v Austin?

    Looking to replace Berahino, both have good fixtures for next 6, Sakho in a better team but Austin more central to his.

    No idea which one to go for, any thoughts?

      No toss a coin

        Considering a punt, but think he's likely to share gametime with Cisse.

    3. RÏΙ BY
      • 14 Years

      i went with sakho basically because of the team backing him and hopefully with the big man back he'll hold it up and assist him more
      *fingers crossed* πŸ˜‰

      1. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Surely Carroll will be an impact sub; Valencia and Sakho must be nailed on starters?

    4. Adam West - Team Serbia for…

      Downing might be a better way into West Ham attack . QPR have better fixtures too

      1. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Not convinced by Downing, not enough goal threat.

    5. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Really can't see too much in it. Both look like very solid options. Go Austin if you have Downing already perhaps?

        you're counting eggs, not chickens

    3. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      Why? He's been playing well without scoring or assisting as usual. Not ideal for FPL.

  17. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Looks a matter of time before Belgium score here as Wales tire in the second half. Gulf in class is too big.

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I'm hoping they can sneak a goal

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      I agree. Very entertaining first half though, thoroughly enjoyed it. Far cry from that England game yesterday.

  18. Fantasy Gold
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 4 months ago

    Why did I buy Chadli?

    He is always anonymous whenever I watch him play.

    1. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He will score in the second half surely. Right place right time kind of a guy he is.

    2. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 4 months ago

      He seems to be getting the points without either him or Spurs playing particularly well. The opposite of Hazard.

    I just noticed that this guy Mariusz Fyrstenberg who is 5th in Scout's league is profesional tennis player. He was once ranked 6th in ATP doubles ranking.

      Sounds like a fairly common name to me.

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, he's probably mixing him up with someone else.

      2. Pinky and Brain
        • 12 Years

        Not really, quite a rare name in Poland and he is in league with another pro tennis player.

      Does that mean the Scout's league is harder than the ATP doubles tour?

        yes

    1. SW6
      • 13 Years

      Best 2 imo:

      Adrian - Naylor
      Fabianski - Reid

        forgot to say I already have naylor, would go for a double up probably
