Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 18.
We report on the latest news about the FFS Cups, Last Man Standing, the Head-to-Head Leagues and many community mini-leagues, as well as the latest update to the FFS Live Hall of Fame.
Gameweek 19 will be the last opportunity to play your First Wildcard if you have not already done so.
A new Wildcard will be available in Gameweek 20, which is when my January to May League (league code rwy735) will start scoring. Over 700 teams have already entered.
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Sultan Osman leads for a fourth week in our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (league code n6lb8d) and has risen to seventh overall.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
Ben Atherton leads for a second week in our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league and has risen to 52nd overall.
This league is open to anyone who has an FFS account, and the league code is visible in the SCOUT LEAGUES widget on the FFS Home Page when signed in.
LIVE HALL OF FAME
The FFS Live Hall of Fame has been updated again today (Saturday 28th December) and is now based on results up to the end of Gameweek 18, but (unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame) it can only be viewed by Premium Members.
49,605 managers participating in our 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) is as follows:
- 1st (3rd) Tom Dollimore (Overall Rank 2,416th).
- 2nd (2nd) Ben Crellin (OR 39k).
- 3rd (77th) Abinav C (OR 227th).
- 4th (14th) Paul Marshman (OR 20k).
- 5th (33rd) @ elevenify.com (OR 4,316th).
- 6th (5th) Fábio Borges (OR 144k).
- 7th (6th) Michael Giovanni (OR 179k).
- 8th (8th) Rob Mayes (OR 151k).
- 9th (40th) Simon MacNair (OR 20k).
- 10th (-) Łukasz Woźniak (OR 17k).
- 14th (1st) Mark Hurst (OR 1.1m).
The biggest change since the Gameweek 17 update is that FFS Career Hall of Fame number one Mark Hurst has crashed out of the Live top ten, dropping from 9th to 14th.
Other changes to the top ten are that Paul Marshman (Back on the Horse) has overtaken @ elevenify.com, that Simon MacNair and Łukasz Woźniak have both moved up a place, and that all ten are now ranked in the overall top 200k.
FFS CUPS
Gameweek 18 was round 6 of the FFS Open Cup. Luggy10 (Mike Smith, 16,858th) is the highest-ranked manager through to the Quarter-Final following his 77-62 win against im1974.
It was also round 5 of the FFS Members Cup. The highest-ranked manager through to the Quarter-Final is Barnsley fc (Neerav Parekh, 67,366th) following his 69-55 win against former winner Mohd Rodzi and Werkself‘s 74-75 loss to Yanti2. Neerav came 1,776th in 2012/13 and 307th in 2017/18.
These cups are old-school competitions 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 18 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS, league code 69toy6) was 56 after hits, with 62 teams to be removed and 462 going through to Gameweek 19.
