FFS Mini-Leagues & Community Competitions – Gameweek 33

Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 33. There aren’t many changes in the leading positions but some managers benefitted from captaining Cole Palmer (£6.2m) or by getting double-digit hauls from auto-subs to replace Phil Foden (£8.2m).

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 seventh straight week and eighth time this season in our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (league code 5k0l6n). He sits on top of six community leagues and is ranked seventh in the world.

Prizes will be awarded to the top ten FFS-registered teams at the end of the season. See this article for full details.

FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE

Unsurprisingly, he top of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league for a ninth 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 32 was the fourth round of this season’s latest FFS Members Cup.

HSF Wednesday (now 2,035th) won his match to go through to round five and remains the highest-ranked manager left in the competition.

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 33 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS) was 67 points after hits, with 15 teams being removed.

It means that 24 are going through to Gameweek 34.

The top scorer of the Gameweek was Bruce McPherson (Eh, just one more thing) with 88 points, thanks to double-digit hauls from Palmer, auto-sub Anthony Gordon (£6.1m) and captain Erling Haaland (£14.3m). Bruce came 2,184th in 2014/15.

HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES

Adam Ferguson leads for a third week in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues with 61 points from a possible 99. He’s up to 570th overall.

Meanwhile, Danny Messer is still the top scorer in the Head-to-Head Leagues, with 88 points in League 8 Division 33.

MODS & CONS

Elsewhere, Paul Marshman (Back on the Horse) sets the pace for a second week in Chaballer’s Multiple Top 1k Finishes mini-league (code xz4wet) and has risen to 356th overall. Double-digit hauls from Palmer, captain Haaland and auto-sub Eberechi Eze (£6.0m) did the job. He is 13th in our FFS Live Hall of Fame.

Ready for some more Euan Thompson? The manager ranks 14th in our FFS Live Hall of Fame. and leads for a second week in Chaballer’s Hall of Fame Top 1k mini-league (code xbert7).

OPENING DAY LEAGUE

Christian Larisch (Alchim1sT) is on top for the 18th week in my Opening Day League and is 63rd overall.

THE NEXT GREAT AND GOOD

Although he has lost the top spot to Natasha Kainth in Greyhead’s The Next Great and Good mini-league. Her current placing of 45th is because of Palmer, Gvardiol and captain Haaland’s weekend hauls.

BEAT THE FFSCOUT/PFT XI

Paul Nichols leads for a 14th week in the Beat the FFScout/PFT XI mini-league (code 65xmu5) and is now up to 438th globally. Still placed second in this league, the Scout community team (Scout PFT) gets another green arrow overall, moving into 2,977th place.

JANUARY TO MAY LEAGUE

Mateusz Kabat leads for a fourth straight week and ninth time this season in my January to May League (code 5v12bh). The last 13 Gameweeks have seen his global ranking rise from 23k to 327th.

THE LAST TEN

Finally, Philip Bourne is up to first place in my The Last Ten mini-league (code xddjak). Taking over from Papa Zig after captaining Cole Palmer, Philip was previously in front after Gameweek 31. He has more than halved his overall rank from 1.6m to 737k during the latest five Gameweeks.

      Thanks for publishing, Marc.

      Danny Messer is back in the overall top 10k (now 8,616th).

      All the FFS Live Hall of Fame positions mentioned are as they stood after the Gameweek 32 update (see the GW32 Hall of Fame Update hot topic), and another four have somehow been omitted from the article - Adam Ferguson 82nd, Luke Williams 676th, Joakim Viheriä 881st and Christian Larisch 32nd.

          I don't know the code for FPL Vets, but the one for HoF Top 1k is in the article (xbert7).

          FPL Vets is run by Skooldaze, whose website is http://www.lifeisaspeech.com, so you could perhaps try emailing him at info@lifeisaspeech.com.
          If you get the league code from him then perhaps you could let me know what it is too!

      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 this afternoon (Friday 19th April) and is now based on results up to and including Gameweek 33.
      51,172 managers participating in the Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in it.

      The new top ten, with their FFS Career Hall of Fame positions in brackets followed by their current Overall Rankings, is:
      1(5) Mark Hurst. OR 1,545.
      2(9) Markku Ojala. OR 1,545.
      3(14) Tom Dollimore. OR 934.
      4(13) Ben Crellin. OR 934.
      5(8) Rob Mayes. OR 2,455.
      6(2) Fábio Borges. OR 39k.
      7(15) Jan Kępski. OR 4,324.
      8(26) John Walsh. OR 2,482.
      9(56) Paul Quilter. OR 909.
      10(102) Paul Marshman. OR 356.

      Since the Gameweek 32 update, Markku Ojala and Tom Dollimore have both overtaken Ben Crellin, John Walsh has moved up two places, Paul Quilter is back in the top ten and Paul Marshman enters the top ten for the first time this season, but Conor’s Team and Jack Vamplew have slipped to 11th and 12th.

      Paul Marshman (Back on the Horse) has had five top 800 finishes plus another three inside the top 5k and tops Chaballer’s Multiple Top 1k Finishes mini-league.

      Nine of the ten are in the overall top 5k, and four are now in the overall top thousand.

      The following leaders of community competitions and mini-leagues featured in the article are also ranked in the top thousand of the updated FFS Live Hall of Fame: Euan Thompson 15th, Adam Ferguson 56th, Luke Williams 657th, Obay Eid 16th, Lee Byron 122nd, Simon March 775th, Joakim Viheriä 842nd and Christian Larisch 39th.

      Having a mare today, think I'll sign out for a bit!!

  4. CONNERS
    • 5 Years
    12 days, 19 hours ago

    A2 I think.

    Gives you another penalty taker with two home games plus VVD has decent goal threat and is nailed for both games.

    Euan knocking me of first place ... (almost) everywhere 🙁

      Yes, Euan and yourself are this season's all-round stars in the community mini-leagues.
      Looking like a tight finish between Ben and yourself in the Opening Day League, where you both have Bench Boost and second Wildcard left,
      and also in The Next Great and Good, where Natasha only has her Free Hit still to play.
