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.


Congratulations to all the winners and stay tuned for RedLightning’s next round-up for a more detailed summary of these and other community leagues and cups.

    Finally starting Konsa over Dias, Saka and Rogers goals disallowed, lovely end to the season!

    Hope you all got the ranks you wanted. Another fun-strating season. What to do til then?!

    1. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Not sure yet. FPL gameweek has me at 10,100 and Livefpl has me at 9,954 so who knows. Pretty happy regardless as I had a shocking start to the season. I was almost 4 million rank after GW8. Need to remember not to pick loads of minutes risks at the start next year.

      1. Ragabolly
        • 15 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        I have faith that the ranks on LiveFPL as of right now are as exact as it gets

    2. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      50 points short of what I wanted, it’ll do.

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      I’m aiming for more jam next season

  4. Manani
    • 14 Years
    6 months, 13 days ago

    BB got me 8 points, which close to make up the ranks I lose by not having Bowen lol

  5. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    83 all out!!! …. Watkins, Isak and Wissa contributed 5 points between them haha

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Yeah, all the strikers went MIA for the goalfest! Congrats though, sweet way to end a season!

        • 8 Years

        Haha yeah they did mate!! They were very underwhelming!! Cheers mate I’m really chuffed!!

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Well done

      I think I got to 69 points with another 18 benched

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        Cheers mate!! Aw decent score too!!! Solid end to the season!!

    3. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Welbeck with his 0.

    4. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Nice way to end the season!
      Exact same front three here, though Calafiori's 0 was the highlight of this week for me.

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        Cheers mate!! Definitely pleased with the end… ah no that’s a shame mate!! I thought he was going to start!! I went for White over Schar in the end which worked out well

        1. Captain Mal
          • 1 Year
          6 months, 13 days ago

          No worries, it didn't matter in the end, the extra 5 points if I had gone White wouldn't have made any difference in terms of my OR or ML goals.
          Time to enjoy the break, see you next season!

  6. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    4 points from Konsa + Rogers + Watkins combined against Man Utd the biggest letdown for me of GW38!

  7. Nomar
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    6 months, 13 days ago

    And that’s it now until mid August, but no doubt we get to pick teams at the end of June/start of July!

  8. Stimps

    Taking a hit has costed me the money league cup 🙁

  9. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    6 months, 13 days ago

    It's been a tough season but to end on 9 green arrows along with captain Bowen is okay

    Who will I speak too until late August now?

    Myself I guess

    😉

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Well done... I ended with 10 greens out of the last 11. Please with the ending, not so much my start 😀

    2. Kevin and Perry go

        Cheers guys

        Enjoy the FA Cup win!!

        It doesn't come often

        For my team 1911.

        1. Crunchie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          6 months, 9 days ago

          Just seen this; hope you will.

          If Palace ever did something stupid, like with the PL, or will the Europa League next season?

          Nothing, and I mean Nothing, will ever be greater than waiting 50 years for your first major trophy 🙂

  10. Kaneyonero
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 13 days ago

    Why don't strikers ever get goals anymore? Like the old days of Torres, Van Persie, Giroud etc etc it's always the wingers these days

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Perhaps it way the defense is set up to block out the strikers so wingers get into the space?

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        They're all midfielders these days

        1. Kaneyonero
          • 9 Years
          6 months, 13 days ago

          Yup pretty much

    2. Manani
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      I mean Haaland was scoring loads less than a year ago. Isak, Wood also scored quite a few goals this season

      1. Utopsis
        • 5 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        As did Mateta, Watkins, Wissa, Strand Larsen, Cunha all with 14+.

        Strikers still scoring plenty of goals

  11. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 13 days ago

    10 green arrow in a row, into 25k OR, defended my position in the ML as well, thanks guys and see you in August!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      If anyone needs a break, I'd say you are right up there!

      Close. Always next season.

      Places not points lol

      1. Eightball
        • 5 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        Haha that makes more sense. I'm either 100 places above or below. I don't know yet as two different sites have me at different places.

    3. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years

      More jam required

    Another FPL season done and the top 10k continues to elude me, finished 47k.

    Cheers folks for the chat on here.

    Have a good summer

    Early GW1 draft, thoughts?

    Sels

    Frimpong, Gvardiol, Gabriel

    Salah, Wirtz, Mbeumo, Rogers

    Isak, Gyokeres, J.Piroe

    1. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Hehehe

    2. diesel001
      • 9 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Too many new players to the PL in that draft. Pretty rare that new players to the PL get off to really fast starts.

  17. gooberman

    Over the moon to get my 7th top 10k finish! Boom!

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Nice one especially these days, i got my 7 when hardly anyone played lol

      1. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        yeah its been tough. Most of mine came during that time as well. This is just my 2nd one in the last 10 seasons.

  18. Kingy109
    • 4 Years
    6 months, 13 days ago

    Rough with smooth season: won mini Ieague and cup by a mile, finished with 8 green arrows since Gw31 but final score of 2542 is the exact score needed for 50k and it looks like I've missed out by 690 places. Maybe I can claim joint 50k!

    1. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      The difference between 50k and 250k must be 100 points. Well done.

  19. Crunchie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 13 days ago

    Have a great season everyone.

    Took a few punts to win ML, non worked out Palmer last week, Saka this -4 to get Haaland in for GW36. Just trying to be differential.

    Slipped from 30k to 60k, which is fine, it's not overall rank, it is the ML.

    AM winners were GW24/25 period, I did 31-33 with Glasner. Wc 35 35 BB36 was awful with triple Forest defence at home to Leicester. BB 8

    TC GW2 was the only good punt.

    Played it my way. The winner slipped from 5k to 23k anyway, so if i hadn't chased so hard, may have done better, but it wasn't template , this year.

    Was praying Saka didn't come on as Bowen vice today lol.

    But it's been emotional. Palace getting their first trophy, beats anything.

    Thanks, everyone, for answering my questions, as when online I try and answer as much as possible. Note, they are usually wrong. I was wrong on Cunha, Welweck and Saka today for example 🙂

    It's FPL. I enjoy it. I enjoy being here.

    Have a great summer!

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      AM31-33 was great, as long as you didn't pick Glasner.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        Well Murphy covered Howe. I would have done Moyes, Emery, Glasner for sure. I had triple Liverpool and not enought budget for Slot without a -8

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Insanely good rank.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        Thanks I am happy. Wouldn't have made 10k, so ML came first, 100k was safe, I am not bothered about 30k or 80k really.

    3. Captain Mal
      • 1 Year
      6 months, 13 days ago

      AM Glasner in 31-33 here as well, a gamble that didn't work out.
      Huge season for Palace anyway.
      Enjoy the break!

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        You too mate. I guess Manchester away (was going so well) and then Newcastle in one week was too much. Its the only time since October we collapsed like that.

    4. Debauchy
      • 12 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Always go down fighting Crunch , back fighting against the grain next season yeah 🙂

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        Yes, you too mate. I enjoy it, dont take it too seriously. I only ever have two regrets, I had ONE amazing season with Covid, watched every game, and had A LOT of luck. But didn't get Greenwood for the treble GW went from 200OR to finish tied on 1k. (That is the only insane season). Should have gone aggressive rather than defensive,. You only ever get one shot at it (i wasnt going to win it or anything)
        Then GW34, last year, i missed the deadline as i was not well, and was getting White Olise and Mateta and missed out on 70 points in one week! lol. That one hurt more, as it was planned and every time Palace scored, I cheered from my bed, then got hit with a baseball bat 🙂 . I shouldnt have waited for the deadline and done it earlier.

        But seriously, so many bad things have happened in my life, for a decade, illness wise, and then you can only imagine others right now in the world. Getting pee'd off with FPL, should not affect mental health at all.

  20. One More Hit

    It's been a blast, played my own game but it seems to be getting harder and harder. Had a pair of top 5K OR finishes in the past 5 years but barely broke 250k this season. Wonder how many have just copied a content creator move for move.

    It'll turn into a ghost town on here until the game launches, all the best.

    1. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Definitely getting harder. Be like a 3:16 chat room for half a dozen weeks. Haha.

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 6 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Content creator copies likely didn’t do that well. Most of them didn’t get it that right. Its a game largely of luck, once you get below casuals (ie people who don’t obsess and likely miss GWs, misuse chips, etc) around 750k or so its a lot down to how much time.

  21. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Went from 1M in gw24 to finish at ~140k OR while winning my main ML and H2H leagues. But darn it if i didn't just leave 20 points on my bench. FPL is a cruel one. Cheers, all! Here's to 25/26.

    1. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      As a Sunderland fan, the reality is starting to set in. Still, noone can ever take the memories of that playoff campaign away from me.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        Congratulation. Can't own that one, funny X post.

        Yes. It can never be taken away.

        93 went down from first PL season with 49 points. 94 Champions , 95 finished 4th from bottom, got releagated (reducing to 20 teams). 96 Lost play off final in 122nd minutes to Leicester, 97 Play off final Beat (like you yesterday), Sheff Utd in 90th minute). 99 Our first admin (we had two). Coppell kept us up with kids (most went on to play in 1st and 2nd Divisons apart from Clinton Morrison and Hayden Mullins). Ashley Cole first ever season, on loan from Arsenal at 18.

        It is what a fan is being about

        Good luck Mr O'Connell.

      2. DeSelby
        • 3 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        I wouldn't worry. I'd bet good money that Craig Noone is not at all interested in taking your memories away from you.

    3. Kevin and Perry go
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      6 months, 13 days ago

      Leeds to stay up by 1 point or goal difference or Man U just get relegated.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        lol

      2. Qaiss
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 13 days ago

        Surely Wolves are gonna go down at some point

        1. Mr. O'Connell
          • 13 Years
          6 months, 13 days ago

          The gulf between the leagues is massive now.

          Need Brentford and Bournemouth to lose their managers, Everton to not settle at new ground, Wolves to blow the Cunha money and then we might be talking.

          More than likely it's gonna be 3 seasons on the bounce that the promoted teams all head straight back down.

          1. Qaiss
            • 9 Years
            6 months, 13 days ago

            I do think Leeds will have a go but maybe that’s more hope

            Sunderland need to just enjoy being in the league, as you’ll go down. Burnley probably too

            It would take those things that you mentioned to happen, for one of them to even have a chance of staying up. If Brentford lose Frank and Wolves don’t reinvest the Cunha money, they might go down

    Up to 18.6 K, my best rank of the season!!!
    (OR 4 million in GW 6, 1 million in GW 15, broke into top 100K in GW 24 and never left...)

      Damn, I was 15k in GW24 and finished 15k in the end

    Crazy season, was 340k rank 10 Gameweeks and 90 points behind in my mini league. Had 10 great weeks, went top for the 1st time last week with my AM chip in my pocket. All the thinking has paid off as won my mini league and think 20k rank. Enjoy the break all and we go again next season

      Staying the course when others drop is key.

        Yup. 4x2.

      Nice. Well done and good look for next season. Here and there if anyone needs a hug.

      Thats great. There were a few who were 4 million at the bottom of the ML and they all carried on.

      I admire that.

      That is a great comeback

    Finished 49,895 OR, chuffed with that. Back to back top 50k finishes.
    42 points on the bench in gw12 will haunt me forever though
