Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 14, when differential captains Son Heung-min and injury-doubt Ollie Watkins (who had both been sold by many managers) outscored the more popular choices.
As well as mini-leagues, we report on the latest news about FFS Cups, community Head-to-Head Leagues and Last Man Standing. Strikers Keepers Losers Weepers is covered in a separate series of articles.
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Mike Arrigan has taken over from Thayib Rusfadli at the top of our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (league code 5k0l6n). He previously led after Gameweeks 5 to 9 and again after Gameweek 11.
Prizes will be awarded to the top ten FFS-registered teams at the end of the season. See this article for full details.
He has now risen to the dizzying heights of number four in the world.
The top five teams in this mini-league are all ranked in the top 111 overall, with three inside the top 15. Therefore it’s now the second-best worldwide, based on the average scores of each league’s top five.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
Olavi Oja (ulafhai) is the new leader of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league, having risen to 263rd overall. He has had four top 7k finishes and also leads the Multiple Top 10k Finishes mini-league.
This mini-league is open to anyone who has an FFS account, the league code being visible in the SCOUT LEAGUES widget on the signed-in FFS Home Page.
FFS OPEN CUP
Gameweek 14 brought round two of the FFS Open Cup.
The three former winners still in the competition all lost. donnellyc lost 58-63 to Minhquan0409, alongside Wild Rover 47-64 Dr Robotniki and A Manager Has No Name 55-72 Spectrum.
However, the highest-ranked manager, ulafhai (Olavi Oja), won his match and is safely through to round three.
FFS MEMBERS CUP
Gameweek 14 was also round one of the FFS Members Cup, where the 256 qualifiers included four former winners (rrcmc, Mohd Rodzi, Scrumper and Chaballer). The highest-ranked qualifier was MDAALLEN (652nd).
Mohd Rodzi and Scrumper both won and progressed to round two but Chaballer was beaten 55-77 by Germanrapha and rrcmc tied 66-66 with THFC4LIFE, losing on overall rank.
As MDAALLEN was beaten 62-80 by Richardsp93, the highest-ranked manager remaining is now Wilbs810 (3,618th).
These are both old-school cups run by Fantasy Football Scout and should not be confused with the League Cups listed on FPL’s Leagues & Cups page. The next rounds in both cups will be in Gameweek 16.
HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES
Meanwhile, Cak Juris has regained the lead from Qian Hao Ong in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues, having previously led after Gameweeks 3 to 5, and now has 33 points out of a possible 42. He was 27th in our FFS Live Hall of Fame following its Gameweek 12 update.

LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 14 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS, league code x9free) was 51 after hits, with 76 teams to be removed.
It means that 731 are going through to Gameweek 15. The LMS leaderboard shows the current live safety score, leaders and teams in danger of being eliminated. New entrants must have passed all the previous safety scores after hits.
Ciaran Sundstrem and Adrian Bleichmann were the joint top scorers of the Gameweek. Ciaran had double-digit hauls from Son, Watkins, Takehiro Tomiyasu and Anthony Gordon, while Adrian’s were Son, Watkins, Gordon, Kieran Trippier and Charlie Taylor. Adrian has had three top 5k finishes.
