Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after a very low-scoring Gameweek 23, when not everyone saw the pre-deadline leak saying Erling Haaland (£15.1m) was about to be benched.
Those who did were able to change their captain, move him to the sides or even sell him, but most alternative armband wearers also blanked.
Here, we report on the latest news from Last Man Standing, the Head-to-Head Leagues, the Live Hall of Fame and many FFS community mini-leagues.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 23 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (code skotto) was 30 after hits, where 42 teams will be removed.
It means that 289 are going through to Gameweek 24. The LMS leaderboard shows the highest post-hit scores, plus teams inside the danger zone.
Greg O was the highest scorer, after benching Haaland, captaining Antoine Semenyo (£7.8m) and getting a double-digit haul from Dominic Szoboszlai (£6.6m). He came 8,821st in 2015/16.
LMS is still open for new entries that have equalled or beaten all the safety scores after hits, but they must enter before 11:00 GMT on Saturday 31 January, just before the Gameweek 24 deadline. It’s this season’s last chance to enter LMS.
The winner will receive a free Scout membership for the 2026/27 season.
FFS HEAD-TO-HEAD LEAGUES
The tables in MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues still show the positions and scores after Gameweek 21, rather than the latest round. All except the Fixtures and Results table, which shows the fixtures for the latest Gameweek 23. It may be a few weeks before the head-to-head tables are fully updated.
When updated with Gameweek 23’s results, they will show that Craig Johnson (Bouncebackability) still has a one-point lead in League 1, after the top four all lost:
- 1. Craig Johnson (OR 87,635th, 49 points)
- 2. Ville Tuominen (OR 217,971st, 48 points)
- 3. Alex Merchant (OR 97,094th, 44 points)
- 4. Adam Ferguson (OR 28,084th, 42 points)
- 5. Liam McAllister (OR 13,102nd, 41 points)
Samuel Swain (League 8 Division 106) remains the highest scorer in the Head-to-Head Leagues, with 64 points out of a possible 69.
- 1. Samuel Swain (League 8 Division 106, OR 24,620th, 64 points)
- 2. Sam Edwards (League 9 Division 149, OR 404,883rd, 62 points)
- 3. Yusuf Laher (League 9 Division 3, OR 190,558th, 61 points)
FFS HALL OF FAME
The FFS Live Hall of Fame was updated again on Tuesday and is now based on results until the end of Gameweek 23 but, unlike the Career Hall of Fame, it can only be viewed by Chief Scouts (premium members).
55,544 FPL managers participating in our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in the live version.
The top 12 in the live version (with their Career Hall of Fame positions and current overall ranks in brackets) are:
- 1st (1st) Ben Crellin (OR 169k)
- 2nd (2nd) Tom Dollimore (OR 75k)
- 3rd (5th) – elevenify.com (OR 61k)
- 4th (22nd) Uz Ray (OR 6,592nd)
- 5th (27th) Simon MacNair (OR 5,774th)
- 6th (3rd) Abinav C (OR 125k)
- 7th (9th) Michael Giovanni (OR 22k)
- 8th (4th) John Walsh (OR 217k)
- 9th (26th) Pro – (OR 25k)
- 10th (17th) Dan Wright (OR 36k)
- 11th (6th) Rob Mayes (OR 135k)
- 12th (-) Harry Daniels (OR 161k)
Since the Gameweek 22 update, Ben Crellin and Tom Dollimore have both overtaken – elevenify.com to reclaim the top two spots, Uz Ray has moved up two places, Abinav C has risen one place, and Pro – is back in the top 10. But Harry Daniels has slipped to 12th.
Three more Career Hall of Fame top 10ers are no longer that high in the live version:
- 15th (8th) Fábio Borges (OR 251k)
- 27th (10th) Łukasz Woźniak (OR 277k)
- 83rd (7th) Gideon Moss (OR 1.214m)
