Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 20, when almost all of the leaders captained Erling Haaland for his third successive two-pointer.
We report on the latest news from the Head-to-Head Leagues, FFS Cups, Last Man Standing, the Live Hall of Fame and many FFS community mini-leagues.
FFS HEAD-TO-HEAD LEAGUES
The league tables in MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues have now been updated.
Craig Johnson (Bouncebackability) leads League 1 with 46 points out of a possible 60. He came 705th in 2006/07 and 64th in 2014/15, and has also had another eight top 10k finishes.
Samuel Swain in League 9 Division 106 and Simon Jones in League 9 Division 256 are the joint highest scorers in the Head-to-Head Leagues with 57 points each.
FFS CUPS
The final of the 26th FFS Open Cup resulted in a 41-38 win for BilboBaggins (William Coventry, 136,378th, who has had five top 9k finishes) against rascalbear (Tim Ward, 586,368th), while HOCHOKI (Taymur Reza Hossain, 274,421st) defeated ekiekiwapang (Dávid Kákonyi, 220,578th) 65-45 in the third-place play-off.
The final of the 19th FFS Members Cup resulted in a 55-47 win for Drizzle (Steven Blyn, 159,582nd, who came 9,809th in 2023/24) against Studs Up (Raheen Gabier, 82,063rd), while Kosh14 (Kourosh Radfar, 283,781st) defeated Santigold (Ville Tuominen, 56,387th) 72-67 in the third-place play-off.
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.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 20 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (league code skotto) was 37 after hits. 38 teams will be removed, and 343 will go through to Gameweek 21. The league has re-opened for today (Monday 5th January), and new entries 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. Keith Loughran was the highest scorer of the Gameweek thanks to double-digit hauls from Declan Rice, Igor Thiago and Malich Thiaw together with a near-haul from captain Matheus Cunha.
LIVE HALL OF FAME
The FFS Live Hall of Fame was updated again this afternoon (Monday 5th January) and is now based on results up to the end of Gameweek 20 but, unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame, it can only be viewed by Chief Scouts (premium members).
55,459 FPL managers participating in our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in the live version.
