Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after a very low-scoring Gameweek 8, when Erling Haaland surprisingly blanked for the third week in a row.

We report on the latest news from Last Man Standing, the Head-to-Head Leagues and many community mini-leagues.

FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE

Chris Lee leads for a second week in our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (league code n6lb8d) and is now 41st overall.

FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE

William Atiglah is the new leader of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league thanks to double-digit hauls from Michael Keane and Mo Salah, and has risen to 386th overall.

This league is open to anyone who has an FFS account, and the league code is visible in the SCOUT LEAGUES widget on the FFS Home Page when signed in.

LAST MAN STANDING

The safety score for Gameweek 8 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS, league code 69toy6) was 25 after hits, with 93 teams to be removed and 1,154 going through to Gameweek 9. 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.

Dale Sunderland and Noel Leigh were the joint highest scorer of the Gameweek, thanks to a double-digit haul from their captain Mo Salah.

HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES

Dave Dolman (Derby Dreamers) is the new leader in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues after the rest of the previous top five all lost. He came 723rd in 2017/18 and has also had another three top 8k finishes.

Marin Vuletic in League 5 Division 5 has won all his first eight matches and is now 9,783rd overall. Three managers in League 6, three in League 7, 11 in League 8, 15 in League 9 and one in League 10 have also started with eight wins.

MODS & CONS

George Gavin leads for a third week in the FFScout Mods & Cons mini-league.

FFSCOUT FAMILY

Ger O’Reilly is the new leader of the FFScout Family mini-league. He came 1,901st in 2022/23 and was 457th in our FFS Live Hall of Fame after its Gameweek 6 update.

Alex Lau (_Freddo) is the new leader of my Top 10k Any Season mini-league (league code wsmh56) and has risen to 1,989th overall. He has had three top 7k finishes and is 238th in our FFS Live Hall of Fame.

  1. FFS Live Hall of Fame GW8 Update

    The FFS Live Hall of Fame has been updated again this afternoon (23rd October) and is now based on results up to the end of Gameweek 8, but (unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame, which can be seen by clicking on the link in the Hall of Fame Top 1k section of the article) it can only be viewed by Premium Members.
    49,421 managers participating in our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in it.

    The new top ten (with their FFS Career Hall of Fame positions in brackets) is as follows:
    1(3) Tom Dollimore (overall 126k).
    2(2) Ben Crellin (overall 301k).
    3(1) Mark Hurst (overall 1.8m).
    4(5) Fábio Borges (overall 1.7m).
    5(33) @ elevenify (overall 43k).
    6(77) Abinav C (overall 3,194th).
    7(123) Juha Hakki (overall 688th).
    8(8) Rob Mayes (overall 1.4m).
    9(18) Stephen Carey (overall 346k).
    10(6) Michael Giovanni (overall 2.1m).

    Since the Gameweek 6 update, Ben Crellin and Abinav C have each moved up a place, @ elevenify and Juha Hakki are new entries, Rob Mayes has returned to the top ten, and David Fairchild, Markku Ojala and Paul Marshman have dropped out of it.

    Six of the ten are now ranked in the overall top million, but only Juha is currently in the top thousand. All except Fábio and Juha have now played their Wildcards, but Juha was the only one to bench boost in Gameweek 1 and Abinav the only one to triple captain Erling Haaland in Gameweek 2.

    @ elevenify came 939th last year and has also had two more top 2k finishes. He has finished in the top 30k in every one of his five seasons.
    Juha came 399th in 2020/21 and has also had another five top 10k finishes.

    Ger O’Reilly (257th), Alex Lau (142nd), Paul Mahoney (850th) and Jamie McComb (638th) are the only other leaders featured in the article who are currently ranked in the top thousand of the updated FFS Live Hall of Fame.

      Thanks, SD.
      Is it open to eligible new entries, and what is the league code of so?

      There are quite a few more teams in our featured mini-leagues that have also been playing since 2006 or before and might like to join your league if you could reveal the league code.

    Great. If you could some blurb on there that you must have a record showing 2006 or before.

    Just because in previous years when its been on the page, people join who aren’t and it’s a pain to go through and delete them

      All our leagues have suffered from that, despite the eligibility rules being quite obvious - some people just ignore them and hope to sneak in unnoticed - so we have to keep checking.
      But the problem mainly occurs with the league codes listed in the SCOUT LEAGUES widget in the left-hand column on the FFS Home Page, especially at the beginning of the season.
      I had about 150 of these for Top 10k Any Season and another 100 for Multiple Top 10k Finishes before I changed their league codes shortly before the Gameweek 1 deadline, so now I only list the new league codes for these in my mini-league roundup articles (the widget still contains the old league codes for these, but I prefer to leave them that way!).

      I'll include a line "This league is only for teams whose FPL record goes back to the 2006/07 season."
