Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 1.
814,606 Bench Boosts were played, and only one of the five most popular captains – João Pedro (£7.6m) – scored more than two points.
Here, we report on the latest news from the Head-to-Head Leagues, FFS Cups, Last Man Standing, Live Hall of Fame and many community mini-leagues.
See this article for a report on last season’s winners.
LEAGUE CHANGES
Before we begin, Livinginapool has not renewed his Top 100 Any Season mini-league, and neither has Skooldaze with FPL Vets 2006 or before.
But we do have a couple of new ones: Top 0.15% Any Season and Career Average Sub-1%. The latter is for managers who have a habit of finishing in the top one percent.
All the leaders featured in this report used their Bench Boost chip in Gameweek 1, and only three of them captained someone other than Erling Haaland (£15.5m) or Bruno Fernandes (£12.0m).
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Hussein Adan is the early leader of our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (code eikrq4), thanks to double-digit hauls from captain Joao Pedro (£7.6m), Maxim De Cuyper (£4.6m), Cole Palmer (£9.5m) and Michael Kayode (£4.6m). The team sits 29th worldwide.
The end-of-season top 10 will receive prizes, provided they’ve had a registered FFScout account (paid or free) one month in advance of the final Gameweek.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
William Garrison is on top of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league, thanks to Joao Pedro, De Cuyper, Mamadou Sangaré (£5.6m), Anton Stach (£6.0m) and Ben White (£5.5m). Currently 53rd overall, he came 5,113th in 2019/20.
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.
BEAT THE FFSCOUT/PFT XI
Arjan Knutsen captained Gabriel Magalhaes (£8.0m) and leads our Beat the Scout/PFT XI mini-league (code g8nnwy), sitting 161st overall. He’s had three top 6k finishes.
As for the Scout community team (Scout PFT), it accumulated 80 points and places 77th here.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 1 in TorresMagic’s 14th Last Man Standing competition (code 3m8787) was 41 after hits, where 47 teams will be eliminated.
It means that 809 are going through to Gameweek 2, including the highest scorer, Kavisha Punchihewa (85th overall).
See this article for details of how to enter and play. Participants must have a registered FFScout account (paid or free), and the winner will be rewarded with an annual Chief Scout membership.
FFS HEAD-TO-HEAD LEAGUES
Teams wishing to take part in MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues this season need to be in the entry mini-league – FFS H2H LeagueEntry (990fx0).
The leagues are currently going through some updates, but things should be ready by Friday’s deadline. Or, if not, the middle of next week.
FFS CUPS
There will be one FFS Open Cup and two FFS Members Cups this season, with prizes for the top three in each.
FFS HALL OF FAME
The FFS Live Hall of Fame was updated on Thursday and is now based on results until the end of Gameweek 1 but, unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame (including 2025/26), it can only be viewed by Chief Scouts (premium members).
55,440 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, Gameweek 1 scores and overall ranks in brackets) are:
- 1st (1st) – elevenify.com (69pts, OR 607k)
- 2nd (2nd) Tom Dollimore (79pts, OR 120k)
- 3rd (3rd) Abinav C (67pts, OR 787k)
- 4th (4th) Uz Ray (72 pts, OR 398k)
- 5th (5th) John Walsh (69pts, OR 607k)
- 6th (7th) Michael Giovanni (76pts, OR 201k)
- 7th (6th) Ben Crellin (66pts, OR 893k)
- 8th (8th) Pro – (79pts, OR 120k)
- 9th (9th) Jovan Popović (77pts, OR 170k)
- 10th (10th) Harry Daniels (74pts, OR 279k)
All 10 chose a Gameweek 1 Bench Boost and are inside the top million. Michael Giovanni has overtaken Ben Crellin, while Abinav C was the only one to captain Haaland rather than Fernandes.
Managers from this article who rank inside the Live Hall of Fame top thousand are Rasmus Kraglund Bagge (36th) and Dave Dolman (751st).
