Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 31, when none of the five most-captained players scored more than two points. A couple of them didn’t even play but both Cole Palmer (£6.0m) and Phil Foden (£8.2m) scored hat-tricks and some managers even benefitted from having strong autosubs.
We report on the FFS Members Cup, Last Man Standing and the Head-to-Head Leagues, plus the leaders of many community mini-leagues. Strikers Keepers Losers Weepers, however, is covered by a separate series of articles.
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Euan Thompson leads for a fifth straight week and sixth time this season in our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (league code 5k0l6n).
Prizes will be awarded to the top ten FFS-registered teams at the end of the season. See this article for full details.
With autosubs Alejandro Garnacho (£4.9m) and Illia Zabarnyi (£4.5m) supplementing Palmer and Foden, Euan is now fourth in the world.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
He’s also top of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league for a seventh successive week.
This 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 MEMBERS CUP
Gameweek 31 was the second round of this season’s latest FFS Members Cup.
2020/21 winner Mohd Rodzi progresses to round three but the other two former champions Scrumper and Mayanyi were beaten by Yanti2 and Chrisoh9 respectively.
Bullet Tooth Toney also lost, so the highest-ranked manager remaining is now HSF Wednesday (1,726th). The top scorer in this round was PKilleen‘s 95 points, with double-digit hauls from Palmer, Foden and auto-sub Garnacho alongside the success of Zabarnyi, Rayan Ait-Nouri (£4.7m), Murara Neto (£4.7m), Darwin Nunez (£7.6m) and two Arsenal defenders.
This is an old-school cup run by Fantasy Football Scout and should not be confused with the League Cups listed on FPL’s Leagues & Cups page.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 31 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS) was 56 after hits, with 20 teams being removed.
It means that 56 are going through to Gameweek 32. The LMS leaderboard shows the current live safety score, leaders and teams in danger of being eliminated.
James Smart was the Gameweek’s top scorer after vice-captain Palmer was handed the armband due to Erling Haaland’s (£14.3m) non-appearance. He has had three top 10k finishes and is currently 2,083rd overall.
HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES
Adam Ferguson is the new leader in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues with 55 points from a possible 93. Previous name Cak Juris lost to Mark Craig.
He’s had four top 9k finishes including 661st in 2016/17, is 83rd in our FFS Live Hall of Fame after its Gameweek 29 update and currently sits 1,418th overall.
Not only that, Danny Messer in League 8 Division 33 remains the top scorer in Head-to-Head Leagues with 82 points. He has risen to 8,534th overall.
MODS & CONS
It’s the ninth week in front for Luke Williams (SuperPuzzleFighter) in the FFScout Mods & Cons mini-league and the 11th occasion over this campaign. Luke also places at 2,222nd worldwide.
FFSCOUT FAMILY
