Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Double Gameweek 32. A time when 412,981 out of 447,125 triple captainers pinned their hopes on Alexander Isak (11 points), only for him to be outscored by teammates Jacob Murphy (19) and Harvey Barnes (27).

Over 838,000 Assistant Manager chips were still active, with very different outcomes for the two most popular choices, Eddie Howe (23) and Oliver Glasner (2).

Among our mini-league leaders, numbers were fairly evenly split between Triple Captains, Assistant Managers, Bench Boosts and those playing no chip at all. None of them played a Wildcard or Free Hit.

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 (Assistant Manager Glasner) leads for a fourth successive week and sixth time this season in our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (code n6lb8d) and is now 12th in the world.

FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE

Atiqui Haque Atique (Triple Captain Isak) is on top of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league for a second week, ranking 103rd 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 MEMBERS CUP

Gameweek 31 was round two of the second FFS Members Cup of 2024/25.

The four former winners were all defeated, with rrcmc losing 94-91 to Kiss The Badge, Mohd Rodzi losing 84-74 to Santigold, Chaballer losing 94-88 to Flekken Beacons and Mayani losing 89-76 to Staity.

However, the highest-ranked player, CasaBanter (now 258th) is safely through to round three.

This old-school cup run by Fantasy Football Scout should not be confused with those listed on FPL’s Leagues & Cups page.

LAST MAN STANDING

The safety score for Gameweek 32 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS) was 83 after hits, with 23 teams out – including TorresMagic himself.

It means that 45 (listed here) are going through to Gameweek 33. To help cover each weekend, LiveFPL’s leaderboard will show its current live statistics.

As of now, it still shows several teams that have just been eliminated. But the following are the highest scorers of those who are still in.

Joe Sutton was the Gameweek’s highest scorer after hits, with 100 points. This was thanks to double-digit hauls from Assistant Manager Eddie Howe (£1.5m), Jacob Murphy (£5.2m) and captain Alexander Isak (£9.5m). He came 9,436th in 2018/19.

HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES

Liam McAllister (Bench Boost) leads for a 13th successive week and 18th time this season in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues.

The highest scorers in these head-to-head leagues are Jackson Coker (League 9 Division 104) and Emmanuel Fatoyinbo (League 9 Division 196), with 82 points out of a possible 96.

See Lord’s monthly roundup for a detailed report on how the rest of the Head-to-Head Leagues are.

LIVE HALL OF FAME

The FFS Live Hall of Fame has been updated again and is now based on results up to Gameweek 32, but, unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame, it can only be viewed by Premium Members. 

49,759 managers participating in our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in it.

The new top 12 (with their Career Hall of Fame positions, chip usage and score in brackets) is as follows:

  • 1st (2nd) Ben Crellin (Bench Boost, 96 points, OR 3,516)
  • 2nd (3rd) Tom Dollimore (Bench Boost, 105, OR 3,062)
  • 3rd (77th) Abinav C (no chip, 72, OR 247)
  • 4th (14th) Paul Marshman (Bench Boost, 97, OR 5,648)
  • 5th (33rd) @elevenify.com (Bench Boost, 89, OR 2,146)
  • 6th (13th) John Walsh (Triple Captain Isak, 91, OR 9,656)
  • 7th (5th) Fábio Borges (Bench Boost, 89, OR 60k)
  • 8th (179th) Luke Williams (no chip, 83, OR 567)
  • 9th (622nd) Gideon Moss (AM Glasner, 86, OR 12)
  • 10th (8th) Rob Mayes (Triple Captain Isak, 90, OR 48k)
  • 11th (-) Łukasz Woźniak (Triple Captain Isak, 88, OR 6,764)
  • 12th (214th) Aran Singanayagam (Triple Captain Isak, 73, OR 727)

Since the Gameweek 31 update, Paul Marshman has overtaken @elevenify.com, and John Walsh is a new top 10 entry. He only joined Scout’s mini-league this week and has four top 4k finishes in the last five seasons.

Six managers from the Career Hall of Fame top 10 are no longer that high in the Live Hall of Fame:

  • 15th (10th) Dan Wright (OR 101k)
  • 17th (6th) Michael Giovanni (OR 171k)
  • 29th (9th) David Fairchild (OR 208k)
  • 38th (1st) Mark Hurst (OR 658k)
  • 78th (4th) Markku Ojala (OR 697k)
  • 86th (7th) Conor’s Team (OR 550k)

      How does he do it? I could never write an article of this length on such a consistent basis.

        Or rather, 30 sentences, but I take your point.

        Well done.

          There are so many moving parts to keep track of, it's pretty impressive. Plus he putting so much effort into keeping the community going on here. It reminds me of the days when Jonty used to put forth the effort and write the community round up every week.

            Yes, it started when they stopped reporting on the leaders of the main FFS mini-leagues in the Scoutcasts and I felt that they deserved to get a little more publicity, so I used to send some info about them to Jonty for use in his Community Roundups. I also thought that there were too few reports on the top players in our Hall of Fame.

            Jonty also started the Rough With The Smooth hot topics and used material from these in Scoutcasts, but I wanted to see more about those who were consistently successful and not just those who had had a particularly good Gameweek or who happened to be appearing on the Scoutcasts themselves.

            He also used to include details of the more interesting Hot Topics and Community Articles in these roundups. There are now far fewer Community Articles that are not published as Main Articles, and they stopped awarding prizes to the most popular ones a few years ago; many of our members may not even be aware of their existence (actually, many of them probably don't read all the Main Articles either, but just use them as a forum for their own questions).

            My articles expanded to cover many more mini-leagues when TopMarx was collaborating with me in writing them.
            They do take a few hours to write, but I like doing it and these days I am almost more interested in watching how the leaders change and celebrating the successes of others than I am in my own team, especially when my own team is struggling as it has been in recent seasons.
            The articles are rather formulaic, but it would be very difficult if not impossible to include so much information about so many mini-leagues in a clear and precise way otherwise without making them excessively long, although TopMarx in particular did like finding as many different phrases as possible for describing the leaders. And it would be difficult to reduce the number of mini-leagues reported on without upsetting some of their administrators.

              I think your articles are great RL and have evolved really well. You keep them concise and informative, both with the text and graphics. Thank you!
