Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 15, when the Merseyside derby was postponed and Cole Palmer (£11.1m) captainers celebrated his haul.
We report on the latest news from Last Man Standing, the FFS Cups and the Head-to-Head Leagues, plus the frontrunners of many community mini-leagues.
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Sultan Osman is the new leader of our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (code n6lb8d) and currently sits 103rd worldwide.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
Josh Ellis is ahead for a third week in our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league and has risen to 119th overall.
This is open to anyone with an FFS account, the league code being visible in the SCOUT LEAGUES widget on the signed-in FFS Home Page.
FFS CUPS
Gameweek 15 was the third round of the FFS Open Cup. The last remaining former winner (donnellyc) was beaten 54-42 by FPL Bielsa (Simon Rothwell), a manager with three top 8k finishes. Notlob Legin (Nigel Bolton, now 3,895th) won again and is the highest-ranked manager through to round four.
It was also the second round of the FFS Members Cup, for Premium Members only. The two former winners (Mohd Rodzi and Chaballer) won their matches.
At 6,273rd, Genly Ai (Timo Laukkanen) is the highest-ranked manager who has reached round three. This is someone with a history of four top 8k finishes and is 394th in our FFS Live Hall of Fame after its Gameweek 13 update.
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. Finalists and third-place play-off winners will receive Amazon vouchers as prizes. See this article for full details.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 15 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS, league code 69toy6) was 43 after hits, with 59 teams to be removed.
It means that 643 are going through to Gameweek 16. To help cover each weekend, LiveFPL’s leaderboard will show its current live statistics. New entrants must have passed all the previous safety scores after hits.
After hits, Joel Stout was the highest Gameweek 15 scorer, thanks to double-digits from captain Palmer and Bryan Mbeumo (£7.6m). There were also returns from William Saliba (£6.2m), Ezri Konsa (£4.4m), Alexander Isak (£8.6m) and Yoane Wissa (£6.2m).
HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES
Liam McAllister leads for a fifth week in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues and is three points ahead.
The highest scorers in these head-to-head leagues are John Lloyd and Andy Whiteley in League 6, Chris Lord in League 7, Elvar Sigurdsson in League 8 and eight managers in League 9, with 42 points out of a possible 45.

Another of his squads led after Gameweek 12 but has since been deleted.
