Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions roundup after Gameweek 17, which was extended while the Premier League and Fantasy Premier League (FPL) were deciding what to do about the abandoned Bournemouth v Luton.
They eventually decided that it will be replayed in full at a later date. As a result, all FPL points from the original match would be voided, which was very unfortunate for the many who had brought in Dominic Solanke as a temporary replacement for Erling Haaland. On six points alongside a projected three bonuses, it was all wiped out by this decision. In came the autosubs.
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.
