Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Double Gameweek 33. It involved many chips being played, but the five most popular captaincy choices all blanked.

We report on the latest news from the FFS Members Cup, Last Man Standing, the Head-to-Head Leagues, the newly updated FFS Live Hall of Fame and many community mini-leagues.

FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE

Gideon Moss (Assistant Manager Oliver Glasner) leads for a fifth successive week and seventh time this season in our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (code n6lb8d) and is now 11th in the world.

FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE

Atiqui Haque Atique (Bench Boost) is on top for a third week in our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league, ranking 89th overall.

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 MEMBERS CUP

Gameweek 33 was round three of the second FFS Members Cup of 2024/25.

The highest-ranked player from round three, CasaBanter, was beaten 106-83 by glennloite, who played his Bench Boost and was rewarded with double-digit hauls from Jakub Kiwior (£4.8m), Leandro Trossard (£6.7m), Eberechi Eze (£6.9m) and Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.8m).

Therefore, the highest-ranked player through to round four is TD Jakes (Tyrone Jacobs, now 4,130th), who defeated Cornish Pasty Man 74-67. He came 3,003rd in 2020/21 and is second in the Opening Day League.

This old-school cup run by Fantasy Football Scout should not be confused with those listed on FPL’s Leagues & Cups page.

LAST MAN STANDING

The safety score for Gameweek 33 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS) was 72 after hits, with 18 teams eliminated.

It means that 27 (listed here in green) are going through to Gameweek 34. To help cover each weekend, LiveFPL’s leaderboard will show its current live statistics.

As of now, it still shows several teams that have just been eliminated. But the following are the highest scorers of those who are still in.

Donald Corrigan (Bench Boost) was the Gameweek’s highest scorer after hits, with 93 points. He came 723rd in 2020/21, has another five top 9k finishes and is currently 5,110th.

HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES

Liam McAllister leads for a 14th successive week and 19th time this season in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues. However, his lead is down to just a single point after losing to rival Alex Tyc.

The highest scorer in these head-to-head leagues is still Jackson Coker (League 9 Division 104), with 85 points out of a possible 99.

LIVE HALL OF FAME

The FFS Live Hall of Fame has been updated again and is now based on results up to Gameweek 33 but, unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame, it can only be viewed by Premium Members. 

49,763 managers participating in our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in it.

The top 10 (with their Career Hall of Fame positions, chip usage, Gameweek score and overall rank in brackets) is as follows:

  • 1st (2nd) Ben Crellin (Triple Captain Marmoush, 83 pts, OR 2,475)
  • 2nd (3rd) Tom Dollimore (Assistant Manager Arteta, 81 pts, OR 2,349)
  • 3rd (77th) Abinav C (Bench Boost, 78 pts, OR 211)
  • 4th (13th) John Walsh (Bench Boost, 84 pts, OR 6,557)
  • 5th (33rd) @ elevenify.com (Triple Captain Saka, 75 pts, OR 2,182)
  • 6th (14th) Paul Marshman (Triple Captain Saka, 60 pts, OR 9,912)
  • 7th (622nd) Gideon Moss (Assistant Manager Glasner, 84 pts, OR 11)
  • 8th (8th) Rob Mayes (Bench Boost, 83 pts, OR 35k)
  • 9th (5th) Fábio Borges (no chip, 62 pts, OR 79k)
  • 10th (-) Łukasz Woźniak (Bench Boost, 71 pts, OR 7,630)

Since the Gameweek 32 update, John Walsh, Gideon Moss and Rob Mayes have each moved up two places and Łukasz Woźniak has returned to the top ten. But Luke Williams drops to 13th.

Six managers from the Career Hall of Fame top 10 are no longer that high in the Live Hall of Fame:

  • 14th (6th) Michael Giovanni (OR 109k)
  • 17th (10th) Dan Wright (OR 101k)
  • 28th (1st) Mark Hurst (OR 508k)
  • 30th (9th) David Fairchild (OR 177k)
  • 102nd (7th) Conor’s Team (OR 556k)
  • 110th (4th) Markku Ojala (OR 776k)

      I don't think he'll be easy to overtake if his Assistant Manager chip which he hasn't played yet is a success.
