From Gameweek 5 of the inaugural Fantasy EFL season, we launched a ‘Late Starters’ mini-league, where around £500 was up for grabs.

In order to qualify for signing up, managers just had to be a free member of Fantasy Football Scout.

With all three playoff finals finished, we can now reveal the much-anticipated results.

PRIZES

  • 1st: £100
  • 2nd: £75
  • 3rd: £50

Meanwhile, the managers finishing fourth to seventh are getting a free year’s subscription to FFS Premium. If you are already a member, we’ll add a free year.

Fitting with the ‘7+2’ format, eighth and ninth will receive a free month of premium.

THE TOP THREE

Congratulations to S. Hassan and his team, Horizon, for their impressive performance! They secured a remarkable 71 points on the final day, bringing their total to 3438 points and ultimately jumping from second to first place.

Hassan’s strategic decision to save two club picks for the newly promoted Championship sides, Leeds United and Burnley, clearly paid off. While his captain Connor Hall (D) contributed a modest eight points, the standout performances from Josh Brownhill (M) of Burnley and Lewis Wing (M) of Reading, who collectively earned 29 points, proved to be masterclasses that significantly boosted Horizon’s final standing.

Commiserations, but huge congratulations are in order for R. Tootal’s ‘2tal’s Titans’, who finished in second place with a total of 3437 points.

They put in a strong showing on the final day, scoring 67 points, thanks in part to the midfield duo of Jack Rudoni (M) and Lewis Wing (M), who also combined for an impressive 29 points.

Despite a blank from Leeds’ Joel Piroe (F), all other players contributed, with Charlton Athletic and Bradford City picking up a solid seven points apiece.

Third place goes to J. Aldridge’s ‘Argylejack’ after securing 3432 points, bolstered by an excellent final day score of 74.

It was a round of returns across the board for the Argyle fan. Notable contributions included a 13-point brace from Michael Cheek (F) and a smart, 0%-picked call on the 10 points of Nat Phillips (D).

Who were the other winners?

The list below shows all the remaining top-nine managers – well done to you all.

Who won our Fantasy EFL 'Late Starters' League?

The winners of these should email support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk to claim their prizes.

    Didn't fancy doing this against Leicester and Southampton at home when I captained you Cole?

    4-1 for Chelsea. What a rampage of a second half

      The tournament should not be a thing

        It is though. If you offered a trophy and place in UCL to Chelsea fans before season started, probably 95% would sign.
        Better season than Arsenal

          Didn't West Ham get mocked when they won it? Bit awkward for Chelsea to celebrate it too much now

            Celebration is like 50% for the trophy itself, 50% for the fact that Chelsea is the only club in history which won all club competitions. That is definitely worth celebrating

            1. Sheffield Wednesday

              Third tier Conference League was only launched in 2021. Not much opportunity for Real Madrid & Bayern to win that one 😉

          Embarrassing comment

          Arsenal couldn’t play in the conference league because they were too good

          You honestly think winning the Conference League and finishing 4th in the League is a better season than reaching the semis of the Champions League and finishing second in the League? Come on now.

          1. Ruinenlust

            Chelsea secured CL qualification and won a European trophy.

            Arsenal secured CL qualification and won zero trophies.

            So yes, Chelsea definitely had a better season.

            In ten years time:
            Chelsea fans: “remember that year in 2025 when we won the Conference League and completed European football. That was a great year”

            Arsenal fans: “remember that year in 2025 when we bottled the league for the third straight year and bottled the Champions League. That was a great year… NOT”

            1. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
              • 11 Years
              7 months, 2 hours ago

              72 teams in Europe were unable to win the Conference League as they were playing in a higher tier competition. 72! It may have been a good night for their fans and they could only beat what was in front of them, but to suggest it is a better footballing achievement than reaching the last 4 of the Champions League seems a bit fanciful.

              1. Ruinenlust
                • 8 Years
                7 months, 1 hour ago

                Only an Arsenal fan would view phase 6 Arteta bottling a semi final as an achievement LOL.

              2. Ruinenlust
                • 8 Years
                7 months, 1 hour ago

                Phase 1 Maresca qualified for the CL, won a European trophy and completed European football for Chelsea.

                Phase 1 Ange qualified for the CL, won a European trophy and broke their 17-trophy trophy drought.

                But Arteta soy boys will claim that Arsenal had a better season because Phase 6 Arteta was the best loser for the third year running. This is the same manager that has bottled the Europa league THREE times. If winning Europa is such an easy achievement, why couldn’t Arteta do it?

                    These.
                    Trolls.

                    Mods seem to not care enough to hand out bans, so best off just ignoring them.

                      I was most offended by being called an Arsenal fan (vomit emoji)

                        I'm sorry you had to go through that. I can only imagine your disgust.

          thats like saying sunderland had a better season than burnley cuz they won the play off trophy. cringe

          1. Qaiss
            • 9 Years
            7 months, 16 hours ago

            Same logic as saying Leeds had a better season in Arsenal cause they’re both in the PL next season and Leeds won a trophy this season

            Awful logic isn’t it

      2. Pat Bonner

        Nonsense. It’s great for the smaller clubs, and why it was created. Would be even better if they didn’t allow any clubs from top 5 leagues in

        1. Qaiss
          • 9 Years
          7 months, 17 hours ago

          There is already the Europa League, why add another tournament that is worse?

            • 14 Years

            As I said, for smaller clubs

              Glimmer of hope for Man United.

            more money for uefa... it would be better without teams from spain england germany and italy.

            clubs from smaller nations generally still dont get to play europa league in its current form. even if they do its 1 max. shd be more opputunities from fans from such nations

            1. Old Man
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              7 months, 4 hours ago

              Exclude top 5 leagues? That sounds like quite a good idea to me - far too sensible. As several have suggested, I guess UEFA might make more money with the "big" clubs involved.

              1. Nightcrawler
                • 6 Years
                7 months, 4 hours ago

                If the idea of conference league is solely more money than yes stick with the same format. In fact, why stop at one club from each of these leagues go with 3,4...If the idea is more chances for smaller teams then go with the other option.

              2. x.jim.x

                7 months, 3 hours ago

                It's the same argument for the League Cup - people always argue that clubs in Europe should be excluded to give the 'smaller' teams a chance, but I doubt Carabao would be happy with losing the vast majority of those fans' viewing figures.

                  Just saw that 🙂

          Said the same thig about our own League Cup.

          Still stand by it. CL teams should not enter it, perhaps all European teams.

          So the teams in the EFL could win it. (certainly 10 years ago anyway)

          1. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years
            6 months, 29 days ago

            It's a shame that these decisions are made from a purely commercial perspective because a "no European teams" league cup would be quite fun, and would actually see the 'smaller' teams giving it a proper go.

    I think we got an idea of the strength of la liga outside the big 2/3 by Man Utd dismantling the 4th side

    1. Nightcrawler

      i dont think even real madrid were any good this season. so many losses in ucl and that arsenal tie was embarrassing

      Anthony becoming a superstar said it all.
