Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after antepenultimate Gameweek 36.

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 an eighth successive week and 10th time this season in our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (code n6lb8d). He is 18th throughout the world.

FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE

Asif Hasan is the new name on top of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league, ranking 74th overall. He came 6,191st in 2015/16.

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 36 was the quarter-final of 2024/25’s second FFS Members Cup.

The winners who go through to next week’s semi-final are Rossaldinho (89k) who beat Crispo 73-50, Real Rootsy (114k) who beat FPL Insanity 70-67, DavidCuz (129k) who beat Renegade3 67-42, and schnuggi (3.010m) who beat fizchelsea 79-61 with the help of Assistant Manager Oliver Glasner (£0.8m).

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 36 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS) was 60 after hits.

Since three teams were tied on 60, only one of the six semi-finalists will be eliminated and the other five all reach next week’s final. Whoever gets the best Gameweek 37 score will be the new LMS Champion, with overall rank used as a tie-breaker.

Gary Whitaker (From Mee To You) and Martin Brown (Space Cadete) both accumulated 67 points. Then, there’s the 60 of Joe Sutton (Tired and Weary, who played his Bench Boost), Tom McMahon (InSearchOfGreenArrows) and Amol Varhadé.

See TorresMagic’s posts for the latest updates, since LMS and LiveFPL’s leaderboard are still listing all the teams that had survived until Gameweek 32.

Eliminated teams are normally removed between Gameweeks, but FPL does not allow any more teams to be removed from LMS after its Last Man Standing cup has started.

HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES

Alex Tyc has regained the lead in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues, having previously led after Gameweek 6. This followed long-time leader Liam McAllister‘s loss to Michael Giovanni.

The highest scorer in these head-to-head leagues is Virinder Gupta (League 9 Division 28), with 93 points out of a possible 108.

See Lord’s latest roundup for a detailed report on how the rest of the Head-to-Head Leagues stood after Gameweek 35.

LIVE HALL OF FAME

The FFS Live Hall of Fame has been updated again and is now based on results up to Gameweek 36 but, unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame, it can only be viewed by Premium Members.

49,771 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, Gameweek score and overall rank in brackets) are as follows:

  • 1st (2nd) Ben Crellin (64 pts, OR 1,423)
  • 2nd (3rd) Tom Dollimore (43 pts, OR 5,085)

  • 9th (622nd) Gideon Moss (60 pts, OR 18)
  • 10th (14th) Paul Marshman (54 pts, OR 25k)

Since the Gameweek 35 update, John Walsh has overtaken Abinav C, while Fábio Borges and Michael Giovanni have both overtaken Gideon Moss.

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

  • 21st (10th) Dan Wright (OR 59k)

  • 194th (7th) Conor’s Team (OR 543k)

    For some reason I always imagined the Hall of Shame tourney would be the worst score you get, the higher in the table you are.
    Maybe that's where I've been going wrong.

    The league code for the January to May League is ryw735, not rwy735.
    Thanks to TorresMagic for pointing this out, and apologies to anyone who has failed to join it because of this error.
