Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after a low-scoring Gameweek 35. Out went the excitement of recent blanks and doubles; instead, it was a fairly uneventful weekend lacking in chips, where none of the most popular captains scored more than nine points.

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 leads for a seventh successive week and ninth time this season in our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (code n6lb8d). He is still 12th throughout the world.

FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE

Atiqui Haque Atique is on top for a fifth week in our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league, ranking 41st 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 35 was round five of the second FFS Members Cup of 2024/25.

The highest-ranked player, Crispo (Crispin MacKay, now 34,401st) won again and is through to next week’s quarter-final.

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 35 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS) was 78 after hits, with six teams eliminated.

It means that six (listed here in green) are going through to Gameweek 36’s semi-final. 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.

Gary Whitaker (From Mee To You) was the Gameweek’s highest scorer after hits, with his Bench Boost providing double-digit hauls from Eberechi Eze (£6.9m) and Murillo (£4.8m). He came 3,251st in 2015/16.

HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES

Liam McAllister leads for a 16th successive week and 21st time this season in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues. However, his lead is down to just one point after his loss to Ahmed Shahin (Professor Bear).

The highest scorer in these head-to-head leagues is Virinder Gupta (League 9 Division 28), with 90 points out of a possible 105.

LIVE HALL OF FAME

The FFS Live Hall of Fame has been updated again and is now based on results up to Gameweek 35 but, unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame,1 it can only be viewed by Premium Members.

49,766 managers participating in our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in it.

The top 11 (with their Career Hall of Fame positions, Gameweek score and overall rank in brackets) is as follows:

  • 1st (2nd) Ben Crellin (57 pts, OR 1,681)
  • 2nd (3rd) Tom Dollimore (Assistant Manager Oliver Glasner, 67 pts, OR 2,629)
  • 3rd (77th) Abinav C (53 pts, OR 161)
  • 4th (13th) John Walsh (60 pts, OR 4,102)
  • 5th (33rd) @elevenify.com (57 pts, OR 1,106)
  • 6th (8th) Rob Mayes (67 pts, OR 18k)
  • 7th (622nd) Gideon Moss (52 pts, OR 12)
  • 8th (5th) Fábio Borges (46 pts, OR 53k)
  • 9th (6th) Michael Giovanni (73 pts, OR 42k)
  • 10th (14th) Paul Marshman (55 pts, OR 23k)
  • 11th (-) Łukasz Woźniak (46 pts, OR 6,382)

Since the Gameweek 34 update, John Walsh and Gideon Moss have each moved up a place and Michael Giovanni has returned to the top ten. But Łukasz Woźniak drops to 11th.

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

  • 16th (10th) Dan Wright (OR 60k)
  • 19th (1st) Mark Hurst (OR 263k)
  • 41st (9th) David Fairchild (OR 135k)
  • 154th (7th) Conor’s Team (OR 518k)
  • 282nd (4th) Markku Ojala (OR 944k)

Names featured in his article that rank in the Live Hall of Fame top thousand are Gideon Moss (7th), Gary Whitaker (452nd), Liam McAllister (107th), The Magician (30th), Abinav C (3rd), Alex Merchant (49th), Anoop K (25th) and Pedro Maia (147th).

      Thanks for publishing, Marc.

      LiveFPL's LMS leaderboard doesn't just still show the live statistics of a few teams that have just been eliminated - it actually still shows live statistics for all the 91 teams that were in at the start of the Last Man Standing cup, and is likely to continue doing so for the rest of the season.

    Sarr to Bowen worth it for free? Or roll the FT to have 2 next GW?

    Is there any logic and bringing KDB for -4 (to block rival) and then captaining Mbeumo

      Not if you’re rival captains KDB
