Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions roundup after a high-scoring Gameweek 9, with Haaland-less squads becoming increasingly popular and one of our members now at the game’s very top.
As well as the mini-leagues, we report on the latest news about community Head-to-Head Leagues and Last Man Standing. Strikers Keepers Losers Weepers will be covered in a separate series of articles.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
Mohamed Malik Mami leads for a third week in our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league, which is open to anyone who has an FFS account, the league code being visible in the SCOUT LEAGUES widget on the signed-in FFS Home Page.
TOP OF THE WORLD
Sticking with Mohamed, he used a Gameweek 7 Wildcard. With Jarrod Bowen (£7.4m) as captain, his new Haaland-less troops scored 107 and rose from 12k to 66th overall. In Gameweek 9, he captained Son Heung-min (£9.5m) and bagged another century, with five players hauling and only Destiny Udogie (£4.9m) scoring less than six.
He is now number one in the world, sitting a single point ahead of his nearest rival.
Going without Erling Haaland (£14.0m), as suggested in asquishypotato’s hot topic last month, is catching on. Only 24 of the current top 50 still own him.
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Mike Arrigan sets the pace for a fifth week in our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (league code 5k0l6n) and is now 77th overall.
Prizes will be awarded to the top ten FFS registered teams at the end of the season – see this article for full details.
HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES
Qian Hao Ong leads for a third successive week and fourth time this season in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues. 24 points out of a possible 27 have been accumulated.
Matt Cherng in League 5 Division 1 has the maximum 27 points after nine straight wins and so have two managers in League 6, one in League 7, two in League 8 and 17 in League 9. The latter includes Division 234’s freakishly over-performing Mr Average – are the other teams losing to him on purpose?!?!
Lord’s monthly round-up gave a more detailed report on how the Head-to-Head Leagues stood after Gameweek 8.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 9 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS, league code x9free) was 71 after hits, with 95 teams to be removed.
It means that 1,109 are going through to Gameweek 10. The LMS leaderboard shows the current live safety score, leaders and teams in danger of being eliminated. New entrants must have passed all the previous safety scores after hits.
Qasim Ahmadi and the manager formerly known as Green & Gold were the week’s top scorers. Both captained Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) in their Haaland-less squads and the latter played his Bench Boost.
MODS & CONS
The top spot has changed again, with Kiran Parmar (FPL Brains) taking over from Geoff Dance in the FFScout Mods & Cons mini-league. He previously led after Gameweek 7.
FFSCOUT FAMILY
And J Martin (Pilot Flame) has regained the lead from Geoff in the FFScout Family mini-league, having previously been in front after Gameweeks 1 and 2.
TOP 10K ANY SEASON
Meanwhile, Kevin Prendergast is ahead for a fourth week in my Top 10k Any Season mini-league (league code x8qf0d). He is 720th globally.
This league is for teams with at least one previous finish inside the top 10,000.
MULTIPLE TOP 10K FINISHES
Nick Warner is the new leader of my Multiple Top 10k Finishes mini-league (league code 4y0ws3) and has risen to 2,527th overall. He has had four top 8k finishes and sits 51st in our FFS Live Hall of Fame.
This league is for teams with at least two previous finishes inside the top 10,000.
TOP 1K ANY SEASON
It’s three weeks on top for J Fish in PDM’s Top 1k Any season mini-league (league code oymggk), now 8,729th overall.
MULTIPLE TOP 1K FINISHES
David Meechan leads for a second week in Chaballer’s Multiple Top 1k Finishes mini-league (league code xz4wet).
TOP 100 ANY SEASON
Elsewhere, Cameron Wong is ahead for a fifth week in Livinginapool’s Top 100 Any Season mini-league (league code mq8lpy).
FPL CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
2019/20 FPL Champion Joshua Bull has switched places with Jamie Pigott in Simon March’s FPL Champions League, having previously led after Gameweek 7.
HALL OF FAME TOP 1K
John Walsh leads for a third week in Chaballer’s Hall of Fame Top 1k mini-league (league code xbert7).
FPL VETS
Gary Kerr is still number one in Skooldaze’s FPL Vets 2006 or before mini-league. 8,334th overall, Gary has been in front after every round except Gameweeks 4 and 7.
OPENING DAY LEAGUE
Jared Hughes is the new leader of my Opening Day League and is up to 4,196th of all players.
BEAT THE FFSCOUT/PFT XI
Adam Shipway leads for a third week in the Beat the FFScout/PFT XI mini-league (league code 65xmu5). The Scout community team (Scout PFT) has slipped to joint 72nd.
HALL OF SHAME TOURNEY
Finally, William Fortescue is the new pace-setter of The Knights Template’s Hall of Shame Tourney (league code b84jwh) and has shot up to 907th overall thanks to no Haaland and captain Salah. There were also hauls for Son, Bryan Mbeumo (£6.7m), Ollie Watkins (£8.3m), Diogo Dalot (£4.9m) and Kieran Trippier (£7.0m).
He shamefully finished outside the top six million last season – but that was his first one.
