Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 2, which includes the latest Hall of Fame updates.
Eight league leaders featured in this article and one of the Hall of Fame top 10 followed an initial Bench Boost by activating a Free Hit.
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Roberto Losito (HuttonDressedAsLahm) is the new leader of our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (code ql9e6k) and is 155th worldwide, after following this chip strategy.
He came 232nd in 2016/17 and has another two top 3k finishes.
This season, FFS is offering prizes to the leader after Gameweek 3 and to the top 10 at the end of Gameweek 38.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
Barry Kelly is the new name on top of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league and is 403rd overall, using the Bench Boost and Free Hit combination.
This is open to anyone with an FFS account, the code to paste being found when clicking ‘View League Codes’ on the signed-in FFS Home Page.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 2 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (code skotto) was 32 after hits, with 73 teams eliminated.
It means that 1,340 are going through to Gameweek 3, as Bravin Bravin was the highest scorer.
See this article for how to enter and play. Safety scores can be found here and the LMS leaderboard shows the highest scores after the deduction of points hits, as well as the teams inside the danger zone.
Entry will reopen after Gameweek 3 (the first two weeks of September), to replace the 200+ teams that will be out by then.
FFS HEAD-TO-HEAD LEAGUES
Entries have now closed for MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues (code s947au) – but the leagues and fixtures have not been drawn yet, so don’t leave the Entry League.
Here is Lord’s detailed report on last season’s competition.
FFS HALL OF FAME
Both Halls of Fame have been updated this week. The Career Hall of Fame is based on results until the end of 2024/25, and the Live Hall of Fame goes up to the end of Gameweek 2.
54,219 managers participating in our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in the live version.
The top managers (with Career Hall of Fame positions in brackets) are as follows:
- 1st (1st) Ben Crellin (Overall Rank 7.012m)

- 9th (6th) Rob Mayes (OR 7.01m)
- 10th (-) Sindre Askeland (OR 225k)
- 11th (9th) Michael Giovanni (OR 6.68m)
Since the previous look, Harry Daniels (FPL Harry) and Sindre Askeland are new entries. But Rob Mayes and Michael Giovanni have dropped three and two places respectively, while Łukasz Woźniak (whose team is identical to Ben Crellin’s) has dropped to 16th.
Harry came 513th in 2021/22 and boasts another five top 10k finishes, while Sindre came 742nd in 2021/21 and has four more inside the top 9k. He’s the only one of the current top 11 inside the overall top three million, though none of the other have yet used a chip.
