The FFS Live Hall of Fame (which, unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame, can only be viewed by Premium Members) has been updated again today and is now based on results up to the end of Gameweek 6. 51,347 managers participating in the Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked.
The new top ten, with FFS Career Hall of Fame positions in brackets, is:
1(1) Fábio Borges.
2(2) Finn Sollie.
3(4) Brusdal Brusdal.
4(3) John Canning.
5(5) Matt Corbidge.
6(11) Mark Mansfield.
7(8) Markku Ojala.
8(13) Mario Sulenta.
9(12) Jon Ballantyne.
10(6) Sean Connors.
Since the previous update (after Gameweek 5), Mark Mansfield has moved up two places and Mario Sulenta one place, while Jon Ballantyne and Sean Connors have both returned to the top ten.

Their current FPL OR would be interesting to be added to these updates

  Fabio 515k, Finn 251k, Brusdal 18k, John 400k, Matt 231k, Mark 83k, Markku 430k, Mario 115k, Jon 149k, Sean 1.072m.
  
  But it's a marathon, not a sprint, so their ORs after six Gameweeks are not really that significant - only half of the top ten Hall of Famers are currently in the overall 250k, but they'll all have far more respectable ORs by the end of the season.

    "But it's a marathon, not a sprint, so their ORs after six Gameweeks are not really that significant " - Doesn't this work both ways though?
    
    If their current OR after 6 GWs doesn't matter, why put the effort into recalculating the HoF rankings based on these inconsequential ranks? 🙂

      The Live Hall of Fame is based on managers' career histories up to and including the latest Gameweek, whereas the Career Hall of Fame is based on their career histories up to the end of the previous season.
      
      As far as the Halls of Famers are concerned, their ORs in previous seasons count for more than their current ORs, but their current ORs relative to others do affect whether they are moving up or down in the Hall of Fame rankings and have an increasing effect as the season progresses.
      
      Since the Halls of Fame are based on manager's Career Histories, their current ORs are less relevant for them than they are for the leaders of the mini-leagues and other competitions, and for the latter I only quote their ORs when they are in the overall top 10k.
      
      I am thinking of including general statements such as "Brusdal is now 18k overall, and eight of the ten are currently in the overall top 500k" in future reports rather than quoting all their current ORs (though I will probably quote all their final ORs when we get to the end of the season), but what do others think about this?

Although no matches were played in Gameweek 7, transfers were made, hits were taken, teams were added and reinstated, and red and green arrows resulted.
No teams were eliminated from LMS and the lead has not changed hands in any of our featured mini-leagues, so the only significant changes were in our FFS Head-to-Head Leagues, where there are now only 11 managers on maximum points (21 out of 21) - three in League 8 (Habtu, Al Cossavella and John Rees-Williams) and eight in League 9 (Rudradatt Jhala, Nikhil Narang, Paul White, Dhanesh Prabhu, Kapil Kumar, P M, V.E. Stoddard and Khummuan Guite).
