Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after a low-scoring Gameweek 19, when 631,909 Bench Boosts and 559,609 Free Hits were played.
We report on the latest news from the FFS Cups, the FFS Head-to-Head Leagues, Last Man Standing, the Live Hall of Fame and many FFS community mini-leagues.
My January to May League (league code 18x9rh) will start scoring in Gameweek 20. Over 775 teams have already entered.
Happy New Year, everyone, and may all your arrows be green!
FFS CUPS
The semi-final results in the 26th FFS Open Cup were ekiekiwapang 39, BilboBaggins 48 and HOCHOKI 37, rascalbear 44. So next week’s final will be BilboBaggins (8,984th) against rascalbear (420,967th), and the third-place play-off will be ekiekiwapang (13,454th) against HOCHOKI (452,428th).
The semi-final results in the 19th FFS Members Cup were Studs Up 36, Kosh14 36, with Studs Up going through on account of his higher overall rank, and Drizzle 41, Santigold 34. The final in this one will be Studs Up (66,556th), against Drizzle (189,154th) and the third-place play-off will be Kosh14 (567,844th) against Santigold (116,076th).
These are both old-school cup competitions run by Fantasy Football Scout and should not be confused with those listed on FPL’s Leagues and Cups page.
FFS HEAD-TO-HEAD LEAGUES
The league tables in MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues still show the positions as they stood after Gameweek 12 – we will have to wait a little longer before the data from Gameweek 13 onwards is added.
After winning his first eighteen matches, Simon Jones in League 9 Division 256 was defeated in his nineteenth, so there is now no-one in the Head-to-Head Leagues with a 100% record.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 19 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (league code skotto) was 31 after hits. 40 teams will be removed, and 381 will go through to Gameweek 20. New entries when it re-opens next month must have equalled or beaten all the safety scores after hits.
The LMS leaderboard shows the highest scores after the deduction of hit points, and also the teams that were in the danger zone. Charles Hughes was the highest scorer of the Gameweek after playing his Bench Boost.

LIVE HALL OF FAME
The FFS Live Hall of Fame was updated again this afternoon (Friday 2nd January) and is now based on results up to the end of Gameweek 19, but unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame, it can only be viewed by Chief Scouts (premium members).
55,443 FPL managers participating in our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in the live version.
The top 11 in the live version (with their Career Hall of Fame positions and current overall ranks in brackets) are:
- 1st (2nd) Tom Dollimore (OR 57k).
- 2nd (1st) Ben Crellin (OR 334k).
- 3rd (3rd) Abinav C (OR 80k).
- 4th (22nd) Uz Ray (OR 6,590th).
- 5th (5th) – elevenify.com (OR 236k).
- 6th (6th) Rob Mayes (OR 69k).
- 7th (-) Harry Daniels (OR 86k).
- 8th (27th) Simon MacNair (OR 10k).
- 9th (9th) Michael Giovanni (OR 57k).
- 10th (26th) Pro – (OR 19k).
- 11th (4th) John Walsh (OR 253k).
Since the Gameweek 18 update, Uz Ray has swapped places with Rob Mayes, and Simon MacNair, Michael Giovanni and Pro – have all overtaken John Walsh who has slipped to 11th.
Another three Career Hall of Fame top tenners are also no longer that high in the live version:
- 17th (8th) Fábio Borges (OR 358k).
- 49th (10th) Łukasz Woźniak (OR 550k).
- 119th (7th) Gideon Moss (OR 1.875m).
