Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 16.
We report on the latest news about the FFS Cups, Last Man Standing, the Head-to-Head Leagues and many community mini-leagues.
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Sultan Osman leads for a second week in our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (code n6lb8d) and moves up to a worldwide 44th.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
Abinav C has regained top spot in our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league, having previously been the frontrunner after Gameweek 7. Now 292nd overall, he was fourth in our FFS Live Hall of Fame after its Gameweek 15 update.
This is open to anyone with an FFS account, the league code being visible in the SCOUT LEAGUES widget on the signed-in FFS Home Page.
FFS CUPS
Gameweek 16 was the fourth round of the FFS Open Cup.
Notlob Legin (Nigel Bolton) lost his match 67-63 to VNFPL, leaving Toon H – who had to rely on his superior ranking (14,050th) after being held to a 50-50 draw by G-Whizz – as the highest-ranked manager through to round five. Westfield Irons (2009/10 FPL champion Jon Reeson) is there too.
It was also the third round of the FFS Members Cup, for Premium Members only.
One former winner (Mohd Rodzi) is through to round four after defeating Wolverine 52-38, but the other (Chaballer) was beaten 69-51 by Baines on Toast, the team of Jon Wilmore (20th in 2012/13, plus another three top 10k finishes).
Genly Ai (Timo Laukkanen) was beaten 64-59 by GaribaldiT, meaning the highest-ranked manager left is Werkself. This is Charles Richter, currently 8,976th, who is 540th in our FFS Live Hall of Fame).
These cups are old-school competitions run by Fantasy Football Scout and should not be confused with the League cups listed on FPL’s Leagues & Cups page. Finalists and third-place play-off winners will receive Amazon vouchers as prizes. See this article for full details.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 16 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS, league code 69toy6) was 42 after hits, with 53 teams to be removed.
It means that 589 are going through to Gameweek 17. To help cover each weekend, LiveFPL’s leaderboard will show its current live statistics. New entrants must have passed all the previous safety scores after hits.
Andrew Bunn was the highest Gameweek 16 scorer, thanks to double-digit hauls from Lewis Hall (£4.6m) and Alexander Isak (£8.7m). He has had four top 9k finishes.
HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES
Simon MacNair is leading League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues, having previously done so after Gameweek 4. He came 440th in 2021/22, has had another four top 7k finishes, and is 16th in our Live Hall of Fame.
Level on points is Liam McAllister but with a worse overall rank.
The highest scorers in these head-to-head leagues are Andy Whiteley in League 6, Chris Lord in League 7 and five managers in League 9, with 45 points out of a possible 48.
