FFS Head to Head Leagues 2019/2020 are now live

Following the previous updates last month, I am now pleased to announce that the FFS Head to Head Leagues for 2019/2020 are now live and showing on the website. The link below will take you to the FFS H2H section of the website where everything is explained and shown.

Head-to-Head Leagues

As mentioned previously, this tournament was far more popular than I imagined, hence the delays in getting the data on to the website. When I pitched the original idea to Geoff the number of teams that I hoped would sign up was less than one thousand.

A lot of hard work has gone into this behind the scenes and again I wish to thank Geoff, Mat, Chris and Will for their hard work. Without their input this project would never have got off the ground. Work was undertaken 24/7 including late evenings, weekends and in Mat’s case even whilst he was on holiday. There are still a few items to iron out, but this will be completed over the coming weeks and months.

I’ve been contacted by many managers who unfortunately missed the entry league deadline and are therefore not included in the H2H Leagues. This gives me confidence that those who missed out will sign up for the 2020/2021 season and that the H2H leagues will continue to grow year on year.

I will be writing regular updates on the leagues and can advise that Owen Walker (Zan K) currently leads League 1 with four wins from four games, meanwhile David Bowman and Bruce Savage are currently top of the two Divisions within league 2. Don’t worry I won’t just be focusing on the top leagues and will aim to discuss standout performances from all the Divisions, including any relegation dog fights as the season unfolds.

At some point we hope to add everyoneโ€™s FFS username as this will help identify whoโ€™s who within the community and therefore help pinpoint standout match ups.

If you have any questions or spot any errors, please feel free to contact myself or Geoff via the comments section below or via twitter – @sparkymir

For now, I’m off to have a word with myself following 4 straights defeats which leaves me 19th in League 3, Division 1. Jon Keates I’m playing you in GW5 so prepare for zero points!

Enjoy

    It's official!

    Fantasy Football Scout's head to head leagues are now live.

    Big thank you to Mir, Geoff, Mat and Will for setting this up. Looking forward to this challenge!

    Would be good to know some FFS names for the people in the same league and division as me ๐Ÿ™‚

    Anyone else in League 4 Division 6 with me (Ted Maw)?

      Unfortunately I missed the deadline...

      im missing something... how do i find my league. it still just comes up as a normal league for me.

        - Click the widget at the top of this page
        - Click on a league (ie league 1)
        - Use the search bar to search your FPL name
        - If you don't come up, you're in a different league
        - Go back to the list of leagues and try another one, searching again for your name
        - Keep trying the leagues until you know which one you're in.

        For an approximation:

        1785 HoF rank is in League 4 and 12545 rank is in League 7. Probably doesn't help much!

          Having a devil of a time finding my team (found them in the GW 1-4 matchup/results links, but that doesnt tell me which league Im in does it?)...the link that lets you check League 8 is over 80 pages long!!

          Is there no master list where you can see which league and division youre in?

          1. Wet Knee Houston
            • 10 Years

            You're in League 3 Division 3 (you can check for yourself in the article, under 'league tables').

              Sorry, on the H2H leagues page, not in the article.

                I was using Ctrl F to search instead of using the "Search" box embedded in the page.

            There isn't a public one that I know of, but Mir or Geoff would have a better idea than me!

      Great work to everyone involved! I am in League 4 Div 1 and appear to have some points which is nice

      Hahaha dread. I'm league 8 Div 121. Why oh why

      Guilty. I’m currently loitering in 2nd place which is a surprise given my GW1 performance.

      I look forward to locking horns - assuming we haven’t already done so.

      I am also in awe about the effort that’s gone into setting this up.

      1. Lord.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Looks like we clash in GW19, so plenty of time to prepare.

          I look forward to it ๐Ÿ˜‰

  3. Wild Rover

    4 years, 7 months ago

    I've found which league/division I'm in league and my points but can't find previous results or upcoming fixtures without scrolling through thousands of names, half of which are too light to read. Am I missing something?

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      "Use your browser’s find in page function to locate managers. "

      Ctrl + F sounds like the intended method for now

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Got it, ta. I read that but didn't understand it without the Ctrl + F bit ๐Ÿ™‚

        Can't see teams in next fixture as it says 'error' page not found'

        1. Rotation's Alter Ego
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          So when you click on Gameweek 5 (ie it redirects to https://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/h2h/fixtures/2019/5/) it chucks up the error or am I misunderstanding?

          1. Wild Rover
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            No, when you search for yourself on this page as above, then you click on your gw5 opponent it brings up the error.

            1. Wild Rover
              • 13 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Or on any player on this page, it seems the team pages aren't linked

            2. Rotation's Alter Ego
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Ah ok - looks like it takes you to your opponents Gameweek 5 team, which creates the error. I'd change the url from /event/5 to /history or /event/4 to get a look at their team.

              I'll have a chat to Geoff to see if it would be good to change this going forwards - guessing it's set that way so that it doesn't have to update all the links when the gameweek starts.

              1. Wild Rover
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                That works, cheers

        2. mir
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          What league and Div are you in Wild Rover?

  4. ivanthemerciless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Can’t find out what division I’m in.

    1. Rotation's Alter Ego
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Did you search for your actual name (according to FPL) in each league?

      So for me I searched Ted Maw and not Rotation or Rotation's Alter Ego.

      1. tets mcgee (Bachmann an Rob…
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        are the leagues just listed in the members area and not on the actual fpl site?

        1. Rotation's Alter Ego
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Correct

          Creating the leagues on FPL would be too hard as you'd have to make sure nearly 6000 managers get the correct league code and actually sign up!

          1. Piggs Boson
            • 12 Years
            4 years, 7 months ago

            Do we need to still be in the FPL Entry League, or can we remove it?

            1. Rotation's Alter Ego
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 12 Years
              4 years, 7 months ago

              Yes and no.

              You can leave and it won't effect this year's H2H leagues, but to be in the tournament for next season you'll have to again be in the entry league to make sure you're still active and wanting to play.

              1. Rotation's Alter Ego
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • Has Moderation Rights
                • 12 Years
                4 years, 7 months ago

                I'm sure there will be a reminder or something to rejoin the league either at the end of the season or at the start of next if that's what needed.

                If you don't want the league on your list or need the extra league space I'd say go ahead and remove it, but I'll be staying in it just because it's easier (and I'm already out of LMS so have a free slot, but let's not talk about that).

    2. mir
      • 14 Years

      @Ivanthemerciless - Any joy now following Rotation's help?

  5. pingissimus
    • 5 Years

    New goal for the season to break into the giddy heights of Div 7!

    1. mir
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Where are you currently sitting in the table? What league and Division are you in?

    2. Mingo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Likewise

      Div 8, League 69! 6 of us at the top on 9 points each.

  6. BRKFCTrueRover
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Must have missed the deadline :(. Think I could have been quite high with my 884 HOF rank and 8k finish last season!

    1. mir
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Think that would have been league 4 or 5.

  7. Piggs Boson
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Awesome. 4/4 wins so far in League 7, Division 20 ๐Ÿ˜€

    Great work guys, thanks. This must take A LOT of work.

    1. mir
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nice one and cheers - yes it gave us a few headaches!

  8. Back on the horse
    • 13 Years

    Zan the man. He'll be stoked, I'm sure.

  9. GreenWindmill
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Bloody marvelous, phenomenal effort from all involved.

    Predictably I'm already getting annoyed with the volatility of performance as I always do with H2H leagues! Would be 2nd in League 3 Division 1 based on 'classic' overall rank but have already lost twice. Did beat some clown called Mark Reynolds last week though ๐Ÿ˜‰

    1. mir
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No way was that you! Didn't know we are in the same league. Yeah H2H can bring even more frustration!

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Would be good to work out who the others in the league are - it sounds like there might be plans to try to gather usernames somehow?

    2. mir
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Did you win because of my points hit?

      1. GreenWindmill
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        66-55 I think so a -4 wouldn't have been crucial, Jamie Vardy was the hero. Suspect I may be in for a rough few weeks with no Aguero, De Bruyne, Pukki though!

  10. Santigold
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    In League 2, Division 1. Surprised to be that high up the ladder!

  11. mir
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Nice. And how are you getting on after 4 games?

    1. Santigold
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      6 points. Mid table, but only 3 points off first place. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  12. Goat

    Is it possible to see who you’re playing next?

    1. GreenWindmill

      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You can search for your name in the GW5 fixtures: https://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/h2h/fixtures/2019/5/

    Do we still need to stay on the H2H Entry league on the official site or can that be exited?

  15. Amateur Pundit Zan

  16. Wet Knee Houston
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Excellent job, guys!

    Rough start for me, already two losses against people with 18 and 38 points less overall ๐Ÿ™‚ (although to be fair in GW4 i was so rubbish that 15 of 19 people in my league would have beaten me ๐Ÿ™‚ )

    1. mir
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Well I'm zero points from the four gameweeks. Already in a relegation battle!

  17. Annie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    What a mammoth task, well done guys!

    League 4 Division 7 Points 6 - not a disaster

    1. mir

      Cheers Annie - Steady start

  18. Stevig
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thank you everyone involved. This is great. I'm not going to say how many times I checked to see if it was live, it would make me look desperate.

    1. mir
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers. How and where are you placed? Solid start or struggling?

      1. Stevig
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Well, after my worst season by a long way last year- the HOF has me in League 6 division 1.
        A slow start this year had me expecting the worst, but 2 wins out of 4 I'll take for now.
        I've probably missed this somewhere, but as it appears at the moment, will teams tied on points be split by overall ranking?
        If so I need to get my act together. I think I have 3rd worst rank in the division, so maybe lucky thi have 6 points.

        1. mir
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Correct. If you are on same points your overall points or rank will split you.

  19. FPL Xylophone
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    League 7 Division 34 (sounds like an army code lol) top with 12 points. Anyone else in this league and division?

  20. L S P

    Wow. Just Wow. Terrific job, MIR - and everyone involved in creating this. It took a few minutes to figure out, but the functionality is superb given the task and the fact that this is the initial release. Kudos!

    Well done ๐Ÿ˜ฎ would have been one hell of a task to get this up and running.

    not a bad start the way season started for me, 3/4 wins. some close one's , but a sin is a win ๐Ÿ˜€
    Highlight so far is winning against one of my friend in round 3 ๐Ÿ˜€

    Whoo, I'm top of the league! Alright it's an incredibly low down league (L7D8) but still, I'm not complaining.

    I take it OR acts as goal difference?

    Great work fellas.

    1. mir
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Correct regarding the OR acting as goal difference
