Congratulations to Adam Levy, world number one

Fantasy Football Scout member Adam Levy has, as expected, finished first in the overall Fantasy Premier League rankings and topped both of our FPL leagues as a result.

The winning margins in each case have yet to be determined as the game is still in the process of updating but Adam’s 71-point return in Gameweek 38 meant that he finished on 2,659 points, just short of the record set by former winner Jon Reeson in 2009/10.

Adam came into Gameweek 38 with a 60-point advantage over world number two Falah Allawati and in truth, his lead has looked almost unassailable for some weeks now.

Ahead of Sunday’s matches, Adam was 94 and 72 points ahead of second place in our members’ and free-to-all leagues respectively.

Adam’s Midas touch continued in Gameweek 38 as he shipped out Raul Jimenez (£6.9m) and Son-Heung min (£8.6m) for Sergio Aguero (£12.0m) and Nathan Redmond (£5.5m).

Redmond, Aguero, Trent Alexander-Arnold (£5.8m), Christian Eriksen (£9.2m), Aymeric Laporte (£6.3m), Raheem Sterling (£11.7m) and Andrew Robertson (£6.7m) all returned clean sheets and/or attacking points for him today, with only four players blanking.

Congratulations again, Adam!

    Unbelievable how large gap to second place. Is the master posting here or somewhere else?

    Well done Adam!

    Also big thanks to anyone on here I engaged daft questions with or swapped advice with.

    I ended up winning all my ML's with the biggest one won by 1 point after clawing back a 13 point gap, so absolutely made up. Made it just outside the top 10k and my FPL season ever with 2379!

    Thanks again and hope everyone had similar successes in their ML's.

    "New OR Rank After Autosubs - 1419"

    Wow. What a great season after finishing last season in 1m (didn't start in GW1 but still) this is a huge improvement, good luck all in next season. Also, well done Adam congrats.

    Anyone know what the point score for top 5k is?

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      2420 or so I’d estimate

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I think around 2410. My target was 2400 to be in 5K, got 2406 and will be on 5.7K

    3. Fantasydreamer
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Cheers, played it safe to win my ML so not the best weekly score but hopefully cling on to top 5k then. Very happy with this season either way! Thanks to everyone’s support on the site

    4. Spab
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      I scored 2440 which got me to 2154 OR, so its pretty congested around that mark. A good/bad final day would have been significant. I scored 78 today and moved up about 1000 places.

  19. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 10 months ago

    It’s incredible how some mini leagues are won and lost on small margins.

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Indeed. It’s why I didn’t understand the FML FPL guys going on about not understanding ML because it’d be over by Xmas.

      If you have a competitive ML it can be insanely neck and neck

      1. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Even this week I got Fraser instead of Redmond and that’s enough to come second. Bad call unfortunately

      2. Do I Not Like Orange
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        There was 12pts between 1st & 3rd for circa £1500 in mine at start of play. 3rd place was nowhere until he triple captained Salah vs Huddersfield a few GWs back.

  20. Lazaretti

    Congrats. Very well done

    OR updated on the official site. Matches liveFPL predictions one final time. Cheers all and see you soon!

    1. Manani
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      do they have fpl API or do you parse all the html?

      big respect for your work either way, hope they don't change the website too much so you won't have to spend a long time updating your code!

      1. Ragabolly
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        They do have an API yes, hopefully they won't change much. Except for chips, I would love to see some changes there.

    2. Richd
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Now you’re showing off.

      Insane work. Thank you so much.. it progressed so much during the season as well with EO etc being added.

      Can’t wait to see how far you can take it. Have you had any contact with FPL themselves about maybe tying it into their official app ?

      1. Ragabolly
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Sorry didn't mean to! I was just eagerly waiting for the update because that's the shortest GW ever and many calculations are still ongoing at liveFPL that usually take place overnight after the first day. So, I didn't trust it will be as accurate this particular GW.

        I will hibernate for a while and then see what's up for next season.

    Mark lost his crown ohhh that hurts

    1. Richd
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      Marks a different breed. He does these moves and they usually pay off and the great thing is he continues to do them and isn’t content on where he is.. he keeps pushing for that next level

      It’s something I wanna implement. I get into the high ranks and freeze and go from being differential to being boring.

      1. brianutd-why always we? 20
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Agree he’s insane

  23. FPL Pillars

    Sorry I'll stop now 🙂

    2. Richd

      Very nicely done.

      Enjoy it.. as these things are short lived. I’d be milking that 🙂

      1. FPL Pillars
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Haha true. Will be hard to top that finish! I can say now I've finished in top 100 which is great.

        1. brianutd-why always we? 20
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          It’s in your game history and stays there when you look back don’t worry!

      Well done. No jealousy here. Good to hear of someones success. Mucho respect. Happy with my season, 2468 points and 864 OR and 4th in FPL Chess and won "The great north" league.
      Thanks to all comrades on this site and to everybody who played overall. Well done Adam levy (what a score).
      Hope everybody comes back next year and thanks to all the mods and contributors, it's your efforts that make it what it is. A huge thanks.

    Overall rank has updated.

    Anyone just inside top 10k? Interested to know how many points it is

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 10 months ago

      2386 or so.

      1. andy85wsm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 10 months ago

        Oh wow - that is gutting. That's my Mane to Sterling captain switch...

        1. Richd
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 10 months ago

          You had great logic for the mane captain. But still a great season and finish considering the spotlight you put yourself under mate.

          Look at Jay etc 🙂

          1. andy85wsm
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 10 months ago

            I think that's what's frustrating - I've gone with my instincts a lot this year. Made a good reason for Mane then backed out of it to essentially block a mini league.

            Bit gutted that it was that close in the end! I'd have preferred to have missed out by 20+

            1. Richd
              • 11 Years
              4 years, 10 months ago

              Maybe it goes down the lines of what FPL general said the other week.. when you’re in the spotlight you can start to overthink things as you’re mulling more and more options over.

              You almost swayed me with the Mane thing with your stream the other night.

              But on another day you make top 10k and Mane blanks.. so don’t beat yourself up on it.

              Also while you’re here..the weight loss is so impressive! Keep it up. You look a lot healthier and that’s way more important than fpl ! 🙂

                Hope to get a few more stone off over the summer. Have a good one

    Cheers all.. ended up 17k.. leaving FH for the last GW worked wonders with 80pts. Don't know if I'll save it this late next season. Used my first WC pretty late in the season which meant that I used my second late as well. Will probably use my first earlier next season.

    See you next season, well played all!

    Thank you FFS and its community for another fantastic season. Your insight, advice and stats make this game much more fun and interesting.
    A few people asked here today if the membership is recommended, and I would say definitely it is.
    Despite an awful day today (44pts) I’m happy to achieve my second top 10k finish. Can’t wait for the pre-season planning!
