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.

    Please answer I BEG OF YOU. Thoughts on this team and where to go with it if it was yours?

    De Gea, Gilks
    Baines, Bertrand, Chambers, Hutton, Wisdom
    Fabregas, Sterling, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Marney

    0.2 ITB. 2 FT

    1. Call Me Old Fashioned
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      DDG-->Guzan/Krul/your favourite 5M or less GK

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        DDG to Adrian, Bertie to Azpil, Sterling to Sanchez and Pele to Austin.

      2. Moosie the Staggie
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yep, that is all I would do this week.

        1. Moosie the Staggie
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          The DDG transfer that is

    2. Coaly
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      desperate ...

      de gea to adrian (guzan/krul if that doesn't do it), bertrand to azpi?

      1. Davros
        • 16 Years

        Great minds πŸ™‚

    3. Evans
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I would leave tbh but next week

      Pelle to Austin
      Bertrand to Coleman

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

      As you have no goalkeeper... De Gea --> Adrian or Fabianski.

      some might suggest cheaper alternatives: Guzan, but I do not rate Villa's defence. Krul's fixtures about to dry uo.

    5. Davros
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It looks good not many changes to suggest. I'd keep SOU players for this game week and then you can use your 2 FT to do
      Bertrand->Azpi and Pelle-> Austin/sakho

      This week you could
      A upgrade fab to hazard or
      B downgrade de gea to Adrian to take advantage of fixtures

  3. HuttonDressedasLahm

      all over the internet mate. Thinking of Sanchez-> Tadic (-4)

      any reason to hold fire?

        1. 7shadesofsmoke

          this changes EVERYTHING

        😯
        No smoke without fire.

      I'm afraid so, it's all explained here

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years

        Cheers bud.

  6. ...---...
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    OK, that's FORTY competitive games that Hazard has now played since his hat-trick against Newcastle last February. In those games he has scored a miserly eight times and SIX out of those were from penalties. Given his lamentable spot kick miss against Maribor last time out, even those easy pickings are no longer guaranteed.

    £10m for a guy who only flatters to deceive? Include me out.

    1. UnderstandablyDistraught
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I said this weeks ago but the expert scouts assured me I would be proven wrong

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

      I'm surprised he is only few points behind Fabregas 😯

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        But he's still behind him and Fabregas is still cheaper

    3. Granville
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Fabregas will outscore him as long as Chelsea don't get an abnormal number of penalties, which isn't out of the question.

    4. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Say what you want, he'll be in the top 5 midfielders come May.

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        That's not good enough really. He needs to be in the top 2 or 3

        1. Professor Abel X
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          My opinion is that he will be in the top 2/3, but wanted to be a little more realistic. Still a great option

    5. CelticBhoy1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I agree with this. Overpriced! Fab is much better IMO.

    6. SC not pearls before swine
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Penalties are a big deal when you're talking about a player for arguably the best attacking team in the league though. Look at how Yaya and Gerrard rode them to the top of the midfield scoring charts last year. I don't think his miss against Maribor will matter much, I think it puts him at 17/19 or so for his Chelsea career, so there's no reason to think he's become a bad penalty taker or that Mourhino will strip the duties from him.

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        He's about to do a 'Tadic.'

        Chelsea's run of fixtures the perfect platform for him.

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      So much this.

    7. Black Knights
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      So from his last 41 (that's not far off an FPL season) he has 11 goals and probably at least double that number of assists. Is that terrible?

    8. Murder on Zidane's Flo…
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      That's a pretty staggering statistic really.

      But, in fairness, he has scored 23 times, made 26 assists, and accrued 45 bonus points over the last two seasons.

      He's not a mug is he.

  7. Willis.
    • 13 Years

    What??? Sanchez out for 6 weeks???

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      1. 7shadesofsmoke

      What. He was looking pretty happy on Twitter earlier with Vidal.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe that's why the middle leg is hurt.

      De Gea, Jones, Evans, Carrick, Blind, Falcao, Rafael, Rojo, Lingard, Young.

      Have I missed anyone?

      1. Call Me Old Fashioned

        No

        If I was a Utd fan, I'd be pleased about most of those.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          With Blind out it'll mean 11 out of 12 weeks they've had to change the CB pairing, but according to Epic Fail United should still be challenging Chelsea for the title regardless

  9. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    http://www.fss.rs/index.php?id=2021&aid=6486 Here is confirm for Tadic.

    Honestly, I don't think it's serious although he got some shoots from Danmark players at the beginning of the match. I think this is because he don't want to play friendly match vs Greece in Tuesday. Atmosphare in team is bad, coach Advocaat left and there is problems in Serbian Asociation.

  10. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    @Daniel

    Dug it out

    Most attempts on goal at the WC

    Benzema 32
    ADM 25
    Ronaldo 23
    Messi 22
    Shaqiri 21
    Robben 20

    ADM managed a single goal.

    1. Think Tank
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      It's because he shoots from outside the box.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yep...only about five were from inside..

        1. Think Tank
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Same this year - it's why I've dumped him.

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

      thank you.

      after watching a lot of ADM's recent games, I don't give much about his shots statistics.... he shoots from positions where a goal is unlikely. His shots often are blocked, totally miss the mark or are on the keeper.

      Compared for example to Robben's shots which are often close or need a good save.

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Well, if you look at detailed enough statistics, they tell you that he has very low number of shots on target from good scoring positions. Which is all you need to know.

    1. wedgec

      I said that earlier. His end product is powderpuff. Coutinho mk2

        Hazard's better than Coutinho, but isn't really a goalscorer. I'd probably have him around the Giggs mark for goalscoring prowess. Maybe he'll get a dozen goals including pens this season.

        1. MJ6987
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Obviously better but his end product doesn't match his all round play in a similar way

      3. Black Knights
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        He can't be Coutinho mk2 if he preceded him, can he?

  24. Evans

    Azpillcueta or Coleman

    Note : I already have (and will never ship) Baines

    So glad I didn't knee-jerk Sanchez in.

    Phew. That was a close one.

      Joke's on you GR,

      He was passed fit just now. They built him bionic leg and he's just completed his first friendly behind closed doors.

      I'll see if i can find you a link...

            MJ's fault 😯

        No way 😯

        He still has to get fit though. Won't be easy with an artificial leg

    If blind is out which he obviously is then Fletcher @ 4.6 as fifth midfielder might be an option

    1. Fantasy Gold

      Well he hasn't started for weeks. Blind played at CB last week and Fletcher still didn't get a look in.
