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.

    This 2 week wait between GWs is agonizing, especially if you've had 3 terrible weeks in a row.

    1. ALegendJ
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I can totally relate

  2. ChampionoftheWorld

    Wanting to get Sterling in, waiting for him to drop. 8.4 is good but 8.3 will be better!

    1. Grumpy Camel
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He is 8.5. Won't drop again now I wouldnt think.

      1. BeachBadger
        • 12 Years

        A few more blankety blanks and he will be ripe fro the plucking in a couple of weeks πŸ˜†

    2. Not Irish

      I'm hoping for 8.2 next week.

      1. ChampionoftheWorld
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Like to sell di maria this week for him. CPL is a juicy fixture, and Studge may be back too.

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          That's stark raving mad.

      8.4M is the lowest he'll get before the start of next GW I'm guessing

    4. ALegendJ
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      If he does nothing this GW, I can see him (hopping) at 8.2 by next GW.

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

        Yep. his ownership is still remarkably high

  3. fedolefan
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Whom would you rather get? Rooney or Sanchez?

    1. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      In your FPL team ofcourse.

    2. ALegendJ
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez

    3. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Considering current pricing and the lack of options upfront, Rooney.

      1. ALegendJ
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I would Rooney if RvP is injured πŸ˜‰

      2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
        • 12 Years

        Wish he had pens πŸ™

        1. Not Irish
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Referees don't give us those anymore.

        2. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Rooney on pens if RVP is injured, no?

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Why couldn't it have been him instead of Blind?

            FML

    4. Grumpy Camel
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sanchez, clearly.

    5. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Ohh, RVP is injured? Dang. Anyway, my front line is Aguero Sakho and Costa. Need to choose between Sanchez for Downing or Rooney for Sakho.

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        RVP isn't injured, he played and scored yesterday.

    I know it's early days in the season but these int. breaks are horrible...

    What was your FPL goal at the start of the season?
    Where are you currently ranked?
    Has your goal changed since the start of the season (due to a great/terrible start)?

    1. ALegendJ
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      1) This year, my mates and I introduced money league, so win it. (leading by 70 points)
      2) not important for me, but 11K
      3) No

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Ahh nice. None of my mates are into FPL as much as I am so I don't have the added motivation of being in a money league!

        1. ALegendJ
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          you need new mates πŸ˜‰

      FPL Goal:

      1) Win my ML against mates
      2) 30K
      3) Had a terrible start but recovered. Getting in the 1K would be nice.

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years

                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  sensible would be Aguero. Though I really fancy Costa.Polls seem to be going with him too. Im being swayed by rank now lol probably best to play it safe

                  1. President John F. Keninnsie
                    • 12 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    Exact same here. Have a feeling Costa is the better choice but tempted to play it safe with Aguero.

                    1. BeachBadger
                      • 12 Years

            • 11 Years

            1) Win mini league with mates (currently 3rd of 40)
            2) 31k
            3) No

            I've only been on here about a month and my rank has already rocketed.
            Some top notch advice from you lot.

            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            1) Top 1k w/ some beginners luck πŸ˜‰ & by opting for a 352 w/ Sanchez,Hazard & co for differentials
            2) 130k πŸ™
            3) Horrible start, so have since changed to 343 & hoping to catch up by having better skippers & saving the WC for DGW's. If at all possible, a top 10k finish would be of the essence.

            1. President John F. Keninnsie
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Nice to see someone trying something a little different. There's still the majority of the season left so a top 10k (or even 1k) finish definitely isn't out of the question.

            2. Currently ranked 59k after a poor start.

            3. Didn't have a goal but top 100 in NZ would be nice πŸ™‚ maybe top 20k overall.

            Goal was top 10k
            currently 23k I think
            Goal not really changed but this is a better start than usual. Think I was 800k this time last year.

            1) Finish under 1K
            2) 80K (Recovering from a rank of 913K) (Punts cost me)
            3) Yes, Finish under 10K

            Retaining my cash league for 3 years in a row. And top 10k finish would be good.
            Just outside 10k
            Leading league by 100pts and had a good run so hopefully I can be in top 1k?

          What's the likelyhood of Giroud regaining his spot? I have the feeling that Wenger doesn't really rate Welbeck so much.

          1. ALegendJ
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            He will definitely regain his spot. But he might be eased in

          2. Goodnight Kiwi
            • 12 Years

            Should be straight in once fully fit... Welbz and Sanogo on bench and Poordolski to look for a new club...

          3. Lallana_
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Depends how Welbeck does this weekend. I think Giroud will benefit Arsenal more now that Walcott is back though.

          4. BeachBadger
            • 12 Years

            eased inI reckon but I think he will claimed the spot back alright

          5. Zasa
            • 11 Years

            Will be interesting how Giroud affects Alexis's output, Welbeck & Ox are always linking up w/ him. They look up & are intent on feeding Alexis day in & day out.
            Hopefully Wally & Giroud replacing the Ox & Welbz won't do too much damage since both partnerships serve the same role on the team so far.

          Is there anyone else out there who doesn't have Baines?

          Feeling like I'm on the out looking at all these RMT's. Or are there others hiding in the corner marking the ground in a circular motion with their foot?

            Bought him in early and a bit annoyed he got injured. Nothing I can do about it now.

              “Leighton Baines could be in contention to face West Ham United next weekend after scans revealed the full-back’s hamstring injury is not as serious as first feared,” the statement on Everton’s official website, http://www.evertonfc.com, reported.

              It doesn't sound like it's too severe though mate. Should be right for the week after if he doesn't play this weekend. As it isn't too severe I wouldn't be surprised if they pushed him to play as they will want a win over WHAM.

              1. Marknlard
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Hope he's out for a week. That'll give me some breathing space to prepare to get him in somehow. Might downgrade ADM for him.

          2. ALegendJ
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            If he is fit, he will play. I got him right before he starts scoring at 6.9. I think he is still worth his tag. though, i might cash in to fund other transfers.

          Heaton

          Baines Clyne Berty

          Sanchez AdM Fab Siggy

          Aguero Sakho Berahino

            I reckon save FT.

            I expect Cesc and Baines to be fit by then

            1. Not Irish
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Have 3m ITB. Very tempting to either bring Haz in for Fab, injured or not. Or I could downgrade a mid or defender and get Rooney in for Berahino for -4.

                • 11 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                What are you doing with Baines? Can't have three lame hammy's in my team Aguero, Costa and Baines.

                1. Not Irish
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Baines' injury sounds very minor. And Aguero looks very fit this season. Costa is the only real worry and I'm going nowhere near him.

                  1. fedolefan
                    • 11 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    Hmm, these hamstring injuries are hard to judge. I'm sticking with Costa for a while. Think he'll get enough chances to tuck away with the assist machines in their lineup. Having said that, I have both Hazard and Costa and feel that is overkill.

                    1. Not Irish

                  Only have two and only want to sell one though. Not sure I'll even sell one next week. Saints could be worth doubling up on defensively long term. Who knows?

                      Add that to the fact that Clyne and Bertrand are two of the best attacking fullbacks around and I think I want to wait and see. If they keep a cleanie this GW I imagine the casuals will keep buying anyway so the drops shouldn't be too bad.

            See what's happening with Fabs first. If injured, I'd be tempted to move for Hazard. ADM needs to be Downing allowing you to buy Costa.

            1. Not Irish
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Really not interested in Costa. On four yellows and an injury waiting to happen. Hazard seems a quality foil. And I'm thinking that's a move worth making even if Fab is fit. Will turn Berahino into Rooney next week most likely.

                • 15 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                You just don't know when Costa will get the fifth yellow. Dangerous game to play imo. He may well use the 5th yc in the LC.

                1. Not Irish
                  • 12 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Yeah but he could also miss three matches between now and then. And he doesn't scare me like Aguero or even Hazard firing does. It's not even close. He's goals and absolutely nothing else.

                    Yeah, only scores goals. Not want anyone wants.

                      I don't want wants. And yeah, a Fabregas assist is almost surely worth as many or more points than a Costa goal. Pretty simple really.

                I didn't have him while he was in the form of his life and yet I'm 12k ATM despite transfers backfiring on me the past two GWs. He's not essential.

                    Just my view that with this run of fixtures , Costa and Hazard is the way forward , it's hard enough filling 1 spare striker spot to go with Aguero and Costa let alone having to feel 2, but the 2 captaincy options , sacrifice a premium mid that don't score goals and replace him with a mid that does the same and just worry about the 3rd spot

                  Save it IMO, g2g & Fab is likely to play.
                  Could come in handy if Fab gets a yellow, or if you fancy getting red of both Clyne & Betry

                      Once sturridge is back in the Liverpool side, do we think he'll be a good alternative to Costa now that there's only 0.1m difference? Already have Hazard and Azpi with no LFC coverage so I'm tempted. Not this week of course but the week after if Sturridge gets some minutes.

                        Wait and see with Sturridge. Looks like there are some real problems with Liverpool's style this season. It might take more than his return to fix them.

                          Thinking it's Sterling or bust this season.

                          Agreed. A big part of that is the lack of cohesion and movement up front. Sturridge makes those runs so I'm hoping his return helps. Would love a frontline of Aguero-Sturridge-Austin with Sanchez-Hazard-Siggy-Chadli behind πŸ˜›

                        Hazard is not really chelsea's cover. Check out the num of goals and assists he is involved out of all the goals chelsea scores.

                        Putting that aside pool is not playing well..sturridge might be a sub etc make him not a gd option yet. Stick/get costa and then decide

                          Yeah I might play it safe and get Costa back. Hopefully he picks up a yellow this weekend to give me more time to decide πŸ˜›

                          Not a fan of coverage concept but Hazard will be involved in lot more Chelsea goals from now on.

                      Ok, I am extremely bored, I thought of working out the stats below which might be helpful.

                      BONUS MAGNETS XI

                      BPS per Minutes Played (Minimum 900 minutes played)

                      Fabianski (0.2)

                      Baines (0.31) Fonte (0.26) Bertrand (0.26)

                      Fabregas (0.31) Hazard (0.27) Siggy (0.27) Schneiderlin (0.24) Gerrard (0.24)

                      Pelle (0.22) Berahino (0.2)

                      Conclusion:
                      Those players played at least 10 matches of the 11. (So nailed-on and not injury prone). Those players tend to gather a lot of BPS per minute which makes them more attracted to gaining Bonus points.

                          Good stuff. This is where Costa falls short. Unless he scores a brace or scrapes a goal in a scrappy match he doesn't get BAPs. And there's no way he'll keep up his early scoring pace.

                            I agree, however, Costa in the above stats does not come up due to him playing less than 900 minutes. But if I remember correctly, Innsie did write something about Costa not scoring means no BAPs for him

                            Alexis is a great BAPs magnet, however, he does not feature above due to him playing less than 900 minutes. I wanted to include nailed-on-ness in the stats above

                          So much for Courtois + Naylor over Fabianski Azpi..

                        My FPL just loaded in Chinese by default. All menus, player names, team names etc in Chinese, which I can't read at all.

                        Yet I could still navigate without any problems and knew the players by their values and points.

                            Costa at home to WBA seems just right

                              Aguero @ Etihad.

                            hard question...

                            Hazard probably for me

                              Good choice but can't blame anyone but yourself if it doesn't work.

                            Kun. Might bring in Hazard and captain him though.

                          Pelle ➑ Costa just doesn't feel right. Will have to take a hit for Welbeck ➑ Costa. 😐

                            With Giroud back things would get interesting

                              I'll definitely have to remove him sooner or later. It's just question of whether to take hit or not. 3rd option is to save FT.

                              Yup. Ex club & all.

                              Save FT or Pelle ➑ Costa?

                                Probably go for Costa.
