OVERALL LEAGUE

Lovro Budisin

Lovro, who has never previously finished inside the top 500,000, took a -4 to sell Kevin De Bruyne and Jean-Philippe Mateta for Bukayo Saka and Evanilson in Gameweek 38.

While those two transfers failed to pay off, double-digit hauls from Mohamed Salah (c) and Jarrod Bowen contributed to his final-day score of 62 points.

Runner-up Jack Brannan ended up 23 points adrift of first place.

Blythe Oakman, meanwhile, took bronze with a Gameweek 38 score of 93 points, thanks in part to a Jarrod Bowen Triple Captaincy haul.

FANTASY FOOTBALL SCOUT LEAGUE

Lovro Budisin

Gideon Moss, who ended with an overall rank of 11, won our Fantasy Football Scout league by a whopping 43 points.

FANTASY FOOTBALL SCOUT MEMBERS LEAGUE

Asif Hasan won the Fantasy Football Scout Members league, finishing 12 points ahead of second-placed Trond Hauso Hansen.

    Really unbelievable season. Playing for almost 10 years, never got better than 35k which was my only time in top 100k. This year stars aligned at least for the chip usage (TC Salah GW24, AM Emery 25 and Glasner 26& 27) and lack of captaincy decision (Salah for like 80% off the season) brought me my personal best rank of 6k. Seems like good timing is mother of all important factors in FPL

        A duck walked into a bar. He sat down and said, "you got any bread?" The barman said, "sorry we dont serve food here". 5 minutes later, the duck asked again, "have you got any bread?" The barman said," no,, and if you ask me one more time, i nail that bloody beak of yours to the bar". So the duck asked " you got any nails?" Barman said NO!, Duck then asked "You got any bread?"

    Massive 100k red arrow for me to finish the season despite captaining Salah. Dias
    only other player to get me points! was already a terrible season but that puts me down to about 700k! Hadn’t really finished below top 100k first six seasons then the last three have been around 200k. I honestly didn’t enjoy this season at all apart from captaining Saka one week that put me up to 80k fairly early on. Wissa captaincy was a good shout last week but that only moved me up 6k places which is mad considering how low I am! Everyone just seems to copy each other these days and I might not bother next year which is a shame, used to enjoy playing a lot more.

      Play it your way. Hendo was 8 points behind Raya i think. How many people had him, Most had Raya at some point, or an Arsenal defender.

      I had Cunha so early, way before anyone, Got Munoz at the start but him and Mateta in GW14.

      It was only my chips and Captain rather than my transfers. I mean how many kept Palmer after GW19? He had done bugger all. I FH29, WC35. You dont have to follow the crowed.

      Either play it your way, or just copy FPL harry 🙂

    Was just hoping to remain in top 100K. Scored 91 (GW rank 20K) so went from 97K to 47K.

    Also, relatedly, Antoine Semenyo is my new favorite player.

    15k overall rank in the end. Not a brag but really disappointed as I was 15k in GW24 and crept into the top10k twice. Wanted to get back to back top5k finishes

    Didn’t play aggressive enough in certain moments. The Saka over Bowen points swing in GW33 will be my memory of this season unfortunately, 44 point swing !!

    Anyway, hope everyone has a good summer. Will try to pop on here a few times as I do believe this place is great, in comparison to other parts of the internet that are just completely toxic and non-existent discussion

    See you all in August peeps

      It's hard to see past a good finish when you feel you could have done better. 15k is really good.

        Thanks biggsy, I guess I just always strive for top10k

        In the last 6 seasons, I’ve finished 15k, 3k, 17k, 35k, 19k, 12k

        Always missing something from getting into the top10k, I think it’s because I get a bit impulsive when I have to follow the template and try to go different but it rarely ever works

          It's tough - I've only breached it once although this is my sixth above 40k. You need a lot to go right and there are so many marginal decisions that could have gone either way

            Yeah I got a 3k last season but that’s because I played Freehit in DGW34 and was super aggressive

            There’s a lot of luck needed with the marginal decisions as you say to get into the top10k

    Just nipped in under 50K which isn’t bad seeing as I was in the weeds for the half of the season.

    Little things like going Sarr over Eze or Sels + Saliba over Raya and Milenkovic last week cost me quite a few places in the end but I won my paid minileague so I can’t really complain.

    Went from 33k to 16k off the GW30 WC through to GW36. Back down to 37k in two weeks. Bad decisions and the little bit of luck deserted me at the end.

    Still a respectable position, but should have been better

    Congratulations again to Liverpool team winning the Premier League
    won it weeks ago seems to have been forgotten.

    Also, Congratulation to all Liverpool supporters at the game today in giving TAA a perfect send off today.
    I know some frustration last couple of weeks but today showed what truly some of
    the best supporters are in the league, I disappointed to hear the news reporting back on the negative
    side of football today the positive side of football came through - thankyou
