Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 12, when each of the 10 most-selected captains blanked, with only Bukayo Saka (£10.1m) scoring more than two points before doubling.
Here, we report on the latest news from the FFS Cups, Last Man Standing, the Live Hall of Fame and many other FFS community mini-leagues.
Unfortunately, I still don’t have any more information about whether MIR’s popular FFS Head-to-Head Leagues (code s947au) have been closed to new entries yet, or about how much progress has been made towards getting them started.
And if Skooldaze or Greyhead are reading this, could they please let me know the codes for the FPL Vets 2006 or before and The Next Great and Good mini-leagues?
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Harry Welham leads our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (league code ql9e6k) for a third week and is ranked 45th throughout the world.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
Peter Jennings tops our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league and has risen to 56th overall thanks to double-digit hauls from Daniel Muñoz (£5.9m), Yankuba Minteh (£6.1m), Enzo Fernández (£6.7m) and Joachim Andersen (£4.5m). He came 3,918th in 2013/14.
This is open to anyone with an FFS account; the code to paste is found when clicking ‘View League Codes’ on a signed-in FFS Home Page.
FFS CUPS
Gameweek 12 was round one of the 26th FFS Open Cup. The qualifying score was 31 (or 30 with an overall rank of 3,953,591 or better) in Gameweek 11, and the highest-ranked qualifier was FPL Amateur (now 1,313th).
Four of the five previous winners who entered (TH14, 2eyedTurk, TFO and sandgrounder) won their matches and have safely reached round two, but MCH was beaten 66-61 by Mihai Roman.
Also, last weekend was the qualifying round for the 19th FFS Members Cup (for Chief Scout members only), and the first round proper will follow in Gameweek 13.
303 teams entered before the Monday evening deadline, including five previous winners (rrcmc, Scrumper, Mayanyi, Gazza2000 and Rossaldinho). They will be given byes into the first round, joined by 251 teams that have beaten the yet-to-be-announced qualifying score.
These cups are old-school competitions run by Fantasy Football Scout, and should not be confused with the league cups listed on FPL’s Leagues & Cups page. See this article for full details, including the prizes on offer.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 12 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (code skotto) was 31 after hits, with 69 teams eliminated.
It means that 755 are going through to Gameweek 13.
New entries, when it next re-opens, must have equalled or beaten all the safety scores after hits.
The LMS leaderboard shows the highest post-hit scores, plus teams that were in the danger zone.
Tom Schroffenegger was the highest scorer due to hauls from Munoz, Eberechi Eze (£7.7m) and Morgan Rogers (£6.9m). He came 2,199th in 2021/22.
FFS HALL OF FAME
The Live Hall of Fame was updated again on Wednesday and is now based on results until the end of Gameweek 12 but, unlike the Career Hall of Fame, it can only be viewed by Chief Scouts (premium members).
55,275 FPL managers participating in our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in the live version.
The top 10 (with their Career Hall of Fame positions and current overall ranks in brackets) are:

Since the Gameweek 11 update, Tom Dollimore has regained top spot from John Walsh, who drops to third. Rob Mayes is up four places and Fábio Borges is up three. Uzair Rizwan has changed his name to Uz Ray and is back in the top 10. But Jovan Popović has dropped to 12th.
Four of the Career Hall of Fame top 10ers are no longer that high in the live version:
