Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 30, when 658,984 Wildcards were played (often with disappointing results) and many teams were blighted by injuries (though some benefitted from favourable substitutions).
Seven of the 16 leaders of our featured mini-leagues and community competitions played their Wildcards, but only Last Man Standing and the Beat The FFScout/PFT XI mini-league now have a different leader.
We report on the latest news from the FFS Members Cup, Last Man Standing, the Head-to-Head Leagues, the newly-updated FFS Live Hall of Fame and many community mini-leagues.
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Gideon Moss leads for the second successive week and fourth time this season in our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (league code n6lb8d) but has slipped to 29th overall.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
Raczidian Xalorin leads for a second week in our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league but has slipped to 119th 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.
FFS MEMBERS CUP
Gameweek 30 was the qualifying round for the second FFS Members Cup of 2024/25 and there were 295 entries, including former winners rrcmc, Mohd Rodzi, Chaballer and Mayani.
Fantasy managers who registered their teams and scored 44 points or more (after hits) qualified for round one automatically. Those who scored exactly 43 only progressed if their overall rank was 356,496th or better. 39 teams failed to reach the qualifying score and were eliminated.
The highest-ranked qualifier was Tiernon Nobody who is 224th. And Van de Ven Diagram had the highest Gameweek 30 score (76).
This is an old-school cup run by Fantasy Football Scout and should not be confused with those listed on FPL’s Leagues & Cups page.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 30 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS) was 47 after hits, with 25 teams to be removed and 91 going through to Gameweek 10. The LMS leaderboard shows the live safety score, leaders and teams in danger of being eliminated. Its Hall of Fame section contains far more information than LMS, but has not been updated with the final scores after substitutions. LMS shows the scores after substitutions but before the deduction of hit points.
Kevin Stevens (Snevitz) was the highest scorer of the Gameweek thanks to Anthony Elanga coming off his bench as a substitute for Justin Kluivert. He has had two top 4k finishes.
HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES
Liam McAllister leads for an 11th successive week and 16th time this season in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues, despite losing to Alex Merchant.
Jackson Coker in League 9 Division 104 is still the highest scorer in the Head-to-Head Leagues, with 79 points out of a possible 90.
LIVE HALL OF FAME
The FFS Live Hall of Fame has been updated again this afternoon (Friday 4th April) and is now based on results up to the end of Gameweek 30, but (unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame) it can only be viewed by Premium Members.
49,748 managers participating in our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in it.
The new top 11 (with their FFS Career Hall of Fame positions in brackets followed by their overall ranks) is as follows:
- 1st (2nd) Ben Crellin (Overall Rank 6,604 -> 6,367). Played Wildcard.
- 2nd (3rd) Tom Dollimore (OR 6,870 -> 8,576). Played Wildcard.

- 10th (-) Łukasz Woźniak (OR 11k -> 10k). Played Wildcard.
- 11th (622nd) Gideon Moss (OR 17 -> 29). Played Wildcard.
Since the Gameweek 29 Update, Aran Singanayagam and Fábio Borges are both up one place, Luke Williams has returned to the top ten and Gideon Moss has dropped to 11th.
Eight of the 11 played their Wildcards in Gameweek 30, but only Ben, Fábio, Luke and Łukasz improved their Overall Ranks.
Six managers from the FFS Career Hall of Fame top ten are no longer in the top ten of the FFS Live Hall of Fame:
