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.

        Cheers, it's been my first ever good start. Usually by now the WC is gone and I'm -4 ing most weeks. It just feels boring when you're maintaining top 10k.

          Shhh. Really my 12th season I think. Re emigrated back to UK. Left all my old work emails / passwords usernames etc behind. So had to get a new email. I usually start ok, screw it up dec and January , then get it together again for the rest.

        πŸ˜€ yep, pretty much perfect description!

    NOT HAVING PROPER FANTASY THIS WEEK STRESSED ME OUT. HALPPP PLEZZZ!!!

    Anyway STICK?!!!

    Forster
    Clyne Baines Chambers
    Sanchez AdM Cesc Chadli
    Aguero Pelle Sakho

    sheet bench.

    Hold of Pelle Cecsc -> Siggy Costa to next week yeah?

    1. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No help unless you beg

      1. Koflok
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Plez master I beg you. *kiss toes

        1. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Hmm tricky. Usually I would say hold but this one might actually work out in your favour this week. I would do it if prices look to change

          1. Koflok
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            *hearts skip a beat.

            The prices will affect me whether i can get Clyne -> Azpi next week or not.

            If I can't I can always downgrade Forster instead of getting Fabianski.

            Well I can get Naylor/Williams Courtois over Azpi Fabianski too since they're cheaper

            1. BeachBadger
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              I was thinking that too but was ridiculed for suggesting Courtois over Azpi lol

              1. Koflok
                • 13 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Me too.

                Azpi virtually having no assist potential and no baps is pretty much equal to Courtois.

      Might be some injury news before the weekend with Cesc & Baines so leave it a few more days but fine as it stands.

    4. Jay_
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Solid team and good moves , only problem is your left with Double Saints defense gw13 then ,gw14 look to do Forster to Fabianski

        1. Koflok
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          THinking of doing that if I have cash.

          0.7m ITB after my moves so I can do Clyne -> Azpi; Forster -> Fabianski.
          Or if tight I'll Courtois Naylor/Williams

          1. Jay_
              11 years, 1 month ago

              All decent moves , just see what the priority is at the time , but Swansea and Chelsea defense or even Creswell is defo the way forward up to January now

      • Lallana_

          11 years, 1 month ago

          I know right. What should we do to them. Fry em? Mash em? Baked em?

          I always like being baked.

          I mean they

          I'm eating Malaysian chicken potato curry right now for lunch so I'm ok

          1. Gnu
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Massaman?

            1. Amateur Pundit Zan
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              It's from a food court and marketed as Malaysian chicken curry. Has potatoes in it. Could pass as massaman but probably not in an establishment outside of a food court context

              1. Gnu
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                My wife makes a mean one, haven't had it in a while. It's a Thai curry but very like Malaysian curries.

                    Had Thai version, don't think I've had Indonesian - wife would know!

                      11 years, 1 month ago

                      Indonesian curry is soo good.

                      Might be a bit biased here. Since my family is used a lot in Indonesian curry

          If you ever come to South America, don't even think about trying "thai" food

            Depends where... I think its Santon City where they have the big mall and Mandela's square? Used to have a very good Thai restaurant on first floor I think right next to the stairs and statue if I remember correctly.
            That was about 8 years ago tho... πŸ™‚

              Nice one around the corner in constantia / Cape Town. Thing is with SA, the Chinese takeaways are awful.

                I miss SA for its food... 0.5kg of great steak with some side and a pint of beer is probably in top 3 of my fav meals
                I know you can get good stakes elsewhere but defiantly not for the value for money you get in SA.. Not are if its still the same πŸ™‚

        These Newcastle defensive injuries are bad news for Krul. I have the Krul/Mannone combo which I was trying to ignore but it now looks like I'll have to switch Mannone out as I can't see Newcastle keeping many cleanies without Colo. replace with Pant?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years

          Replace with Guzan

          Guzan got good fixtures.

          But Villa's defense has been sheeet

          Don't waste a transfer on a GK until the Jan WC, imo.

        5. Zasa

          Fabi or Adrian IMO

            I got him in GW10 as a make weight for Sanchez with 2 FTs.
            He then got dropped for no reason after being voted LEI player of the month.
            Hasn't played a minute since but I've sneaking around on Fox Forum and I reckon he's back in the team for SUN.
            I liked what I saw of him early season.

        Sakho or Austin and why?

        Fixtures both good, Austin possibly in better form but West Ham capable of scoring more goals ...

          11 years, 1 month ago

          I like that Austin has penos and looked good v City
          I have Sahko

          Austin. Sakho's sample size regarding his goal scoring isn't good enough for me. Austin is one penalties too.

          1. Trashpanda
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Although he did miss his only peno!

          I have Sakho but I wish I'd bought Austin instead. Mainly because QPR have fewer attacking options ( none, actually ) and so he should be a guaranteed starter. Rangers also have three games in four at home over Christmas, which is a great advantage.

        4. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I prefer sakho for that reason too. West Ham look like they will score often

          I'm leaning towards Austin but it's a lazy assessment based on the snippets I've seen of them as opposed to the well thought out research of someone who is actually making that choice.

          Austin. I have Downing for WHU coverage just in case Sakho delivers.

        Morning DZ.

        Thinking of shipping Mane out after the Villa match. But he was benched after the last international week(gw 8) in the 8-0 thrashing of Sunderland!! Do you think Long will start ahead of Mane this time? Stick or twist this week?

        Thanks.

        1. RoysCallerAnne
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Keep him for one more week.

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers. Hope he starts.

        2. BeachBadger
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I think Long will start. Likely rested for the international friendly but maybe not seeing as Keane has left the squad. Perfect time for Koeman to give Long a chance and rest Mane though without hurting anyones feelings.

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 13 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Cheers. You maybe right. Although Mane was an expensive purchase and is the number 10. He maybe first choice ahead of Long every week, unless he's not match fit.

        3. Jay_
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I think Long will start and Mane will cameo again and Mane will have to do some thing special in the Cameo to cement the spot , I personally wouldn't bother with him and ship him now considering their fixtures , Chadli Siggy and Downing are all cert starters and would be free up a bit of cash

            1. EmreCan Hustle
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Cheers. Have Downing. Thinking of getting Siggy in. Do it this week against City?

              1. Jay_
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Hmm that's a tough one , I chose Chadli over Siggy , but if your minds set on Siggy then it's a tricky one , if you have 2ft do it of not just wait

            Am I the only once not convinced about getting in Austin vs a side who have kept 3 clean sheets in last 3 games?

            Also people recommending downing this week against Everton at Goodision.. I feel like thats a nice 2 points for both right there and I want to get of downing or sakho this week on a free just for that.

            1. Amateur Pundit Zan
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              You would keep Austin, sakho or downing for more than one game right? These are value players performing well for their price to free up money elsewhere and is be happy to recommend any of them on that basis. They won't score points every week and they may or may not get something out of this weekend

                  No idea. Not that he's all that or anything, but it's bizarre that's he turned into Spurs' Anderson.

            Looks like Downing couldnt perform under the pressure. Happens to the best of us πŸ˜†

              It certainly does. Mind you, Downing doesn't have the handicap of eight pints of Guinness and a 2am kick off to deal with either.

            Best two bench fodders out of: Yun, Dummett, Duff and Wisdom? Leaning towards Yun as one, as he's 3.9

              • 11 Years

                Since there is no Hutton, Yun/Wisdom for me

                1. Son of Rambo
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Hutton still injured? If not I'd add him to the list for sure

                11 years, 1 month ago

                Despite Newcastle's injuries, I think there's still value in Dummett at 4.1... But thanks.

                The reason I chose those two because they will be the most nailed-on come festive fixtures and the most with potential attacking returns

              • 11 Years

              Dummett & Duff probably best changes of the occasional clean sheet

            3. BeachBadger
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Yun and Duff I think. I would choose Wisdom over Duff in general but duff has better fixtures

              Looks fine. Who are you captaining?

                • 12 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Obviously between Kun and Costa but honestly have no idea. Leaning slightly towards Costa only because I think west brom defence is a bit more vulnerable then Swansea.
                No doubt the captaincy will go back n forth until deadline hits

                  I have both too. Costa (c) for me too. I have no reason to back it up, just a slight hunch πŸ™‚

                    I'm feelig the same but I'm uneasy about not putting it on Aguero

                      I think silva being out is a lot of creativity that Aguero will miss as well

                        Aguero (C) for me. Going purely off of how god-damn good his stats are.

                        Doesnt seem to be hurting him so far and the stats back it up that he does just as well without him

                  Downing, Sigurdsson? They may not be as flashy as Oscar but they are good value for money and nailed on for the rest of the year I reckon.

                    ADM- Siggy-Sanchez-Boyd-Mane
                    Kun-DC-Austin

                    Yes,its probably between Downing and Chadli for me.

                      Chadli is another option but unlike a lot of people here I think his run will be over soon. 6 goals off 8 shots is not sustainable.

                I thought there was another round as well. But I don't see any looking at the fixture list on Sky.

                      I owned him for 12 hours. Transferred him in minutes before deadline, went to sleep, woke up, watched the Liverpool game, then rage wildcarded. πŸ˜€

                  Already on a -8 .. (I know I know )
                  If the situation is the same as now my clear problem is if Baines doesn't play Hutton might not be fit and Moore might not start
                  Not sure what to do here sweating on Hutton hope his fit

                    In the same boat. Used my 2FT but I'm scared Baines won't play. I got Moore on the bench with Wisdom (who plays Chelsea).

                        At least you have Wisdom , possible assist chance and you've played the game correctly , I feel like the novice in me has shown and done a stupid move , let's hope Baines is fit πŸ™‚

                          Did Clyne > Chambers Sunday night
                          Tadic AdM Berahino > Chadli Downing Costa
                          The first one didn't need to be done o could have afforded the the 3 without that , only reason I did Clune to Chambers was to fund
                          Bertand Tadic Welbeck > Yun Downing Costa
                          But I had 2nd thoughts and wanted to keep Welbeck
                          Have lost Adm, Giroud is back Baines got injured it's been a nightmare in. Break πŸ™

                          Cheers. Just making sure I wasn't looking at bogus info. That's a bit odd though, innit?

                          Getting too damn itchy over Fabregas. And this confusion isn't giving me much of a warm, fuzzy feeling about bringing Haz in.

                            I think Fab will play this weekend. Will wait on Hazard to spring to life first. Might miss a hual but hey it's better than a string of disappointing 2pts that those that jumped too early got

                              I don't know. I think it's time. I don't want to miss the first of his or Rooney's hauls as they'll be huge differentials.

                                True but its a luxury transfer at the minute I feel lol

                        Best move here lads?

                        Bank 0.0m, 2 freebies

                        Krul, Elliot
                        Baines, Chambers, Wisdom, Hutton, Yun
                        Sanchez, Hazard, Siggy, Chadli, Albrighton
                        Aguero, Costa, Pelle

                        Best I can come up with is either:

                        A) Albrighton -> Isgrove (to bank the 0.1m), or

                        B) Hutton & Pelle -> Terry/Azpil & Austin/Sakho

                          I do not like any of the moves, maybe only Hutton to a cheaper defender, if you like Dummett for example and save the other one

                            A is a waste of transfer for now, B is one week too early

                              I agree to an extent - Dummett less attractive now if Collo is out for a month though imo

                          Hutton and Pelle seem like good moves to make next week. COnsdier dropping Krul after their backline being decimated?

                            Yeah, that has tempted me to avoid Hutton -> Dummett and get Austin a little more.

                            With nothing in the bank there aren't many Krul replacements that look good this week imo

                              Yeah thats true too I suppose. Tough one. . Looks like you're in luxury transfer mode lol

                              Albrighton is 4.3 now

                                Haha wow! then I guess A this week looks the most sensible

                                  Yeah, feels like such a waste though - one dead player for another.

                                  Starting to sway towards B as fancy CHE to improve defensively over those fixtures and Austin also has good form and fixtures so could do well too.

                                I might consider getting him in so πŸ˜†

                          Hutton should be coming back from injury. Rotating between three 4.0M midfielders is a great strategy. I'd rather have Pelle than Austin/Sakho right now.

                            Even with CHE and Pelle's fixtures?

                        Looking to sort out my defence/bench.
                        Any advice for the next few weeks would be greatly received.

                          May as well do bruce to yun. QPR have some nice home fixtures

                          Ditch Bruce for Yun. Upgrade Bertrand to Azpi next week. Thats what I would do.
