THE FANTASY FOOTBALL SCOUT LEAGUES ROUND-UP

In the wake of the penultimate Gameweek, we take another look at how the Fantasy Football Scout leagues are shaping up. 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

With one round of fixtures left to play out, Simon March, aka “Dufflinks”, boasts a 34-point lead at the top of the Scout League and the overall rankings. His 70-point haul this Gameweek can be attributed to some astute decisions in defence, with Wes Morgan, Patrick van Aanholt and Simon Mignolet accruing 29 points between them. Alexis Sanchez failed to deliver as captain, but David Silva (nine points) and Sergio Aguero (five points) kept Simon’s tally ticking over.

Second-placed Kev Gleave clawed back four points on Simon this Gameweek while surging up to second place in the global rankings. Kev also captained Sanchez and fielded the Manchester City duo but opted for double Sunderland defensive coverage, with Van Aanholt and Costel Pantilimon serving up strong returns.

Jon Summer stormed into third place with an 85-point tally. Ranked fourth overall, Jon made the brave – but ultimately lucrative – call to captain Laurent Koscielny while also plumping for the above-mentioned Black Cats duo and Leicester City’s Jeffrey Schlupp in defence.

Mariusz Fyrstenberg dropped to fourth after notching a respectable 61 points. He also handed the captain’s armband to Sanchez and went with the Sky Blues duo, but a trio of Liverpool recruits (Martin Skrtel, Raheem Sterling and Jordan Henderson) failed to deliver the goods. Stuart Shingler slipped one place into fifth by way of a 61-point Gameweek. Stuart was given little to cheer about besides the output of Van Aanholt and Pantilimon.

In the Fantasy Football Scout Members League, Simon March  ended the week with a 65-point lead over second-placed Stuart Shingler. Killian Long  now occupies the third berth following a disappointing 58-point haul. The Members League retained second position in the FPL’s “Best League” rankings, behind the Scout League.

ULTIMATE FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE

Casting an eye over the UFPL Scout League, Damian Lindall (2813) remains in first place, but Obay Eid (2797) closed the gap by 22 points after fielding differentials like Graziano Pelle. Scout contributor Alex Bowers – who won the beta version of the game last term – entered the top three courtesy of a 98-point Gameweek. To join our UFPL league, use the code 524-87.

SKY SPORTS FANTASY FOOTBALL

Geoff Pryor (2427 points) increased his lead at the peak of the Scout League to 13 points over second-placed Steven Adams (2414 points). Katie Burgin (2391) maintains her grip on the bronze medal position. The winner of our Sky league – which retained top spot in the League of Leagues – wins £1,000.

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. Adriel Cheung (852 points) extended his lead at the summit to 26 points, with Gavin Rolston (826 points) reclaiming the second-place berth. Juan Garcia (825 points) slipped to third. There’s an iPad mini on offer to the winner – the league name is Fantasy Football Scout and the pin is 11155.
