Welcome to this round-up of the latest news from Last Man Standing, the Head-to-Head Leagues, the Live Hall of Fame and many FFS community mini-leagues after Gameweek 5, when Erling Haaland again outscored the popular choice, Mo Salah.
All the current mini-league leaders apart from Johnny Brosnan, Ben Broadhurst and Kostas Tselios now own Haaland, but Kevin Ou and Matthew Martyniak were the only ones to captain him this week. Eight of the leaders owned both Haaland and Salah and chose to captain Salah, but others captained a variety of differentials. It was a different story with the top twelve in the FFS Live Hall of Fame though, as we shall see later.
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Wendy Colledge leads our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (league code ql9e6k) for a second week and is now 248th overall.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
Robert Turner is the new leader of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league (which is open to anyone who has an FFS account, the league code being visible in the View League Codes link on the FFS Home Page when signed in) and has risen to 126th overall.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 5 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (league code skotto) was 34 after hits. 92 teams will be removed, leaving 1,246 to go through to Gameweek 6. Entry is currently open, the scores needed after hits being 41, 32, 32, 49 and 34.
Barry Sutton was the highest scorer of the Gameweek after playing his Bench Boost.
The LMS leaderboard shows the highest scores after the deduction of hit points as well as the teams that were in the danger zone.
FFS HEAD-TO-HEAD LEAGUES
It looks as if there will be about 10,500 teams in MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues (league code s947au) this season, so there will be ten Leagues again, and the number of Divisions in League 10 should increase to about 14.
Teams have not yet been allocated to Leagues and Divisions, so don’t leave the Entry League – I don’t know whether or not entry is still open. The fixtures will be backdated to start in Gameweek 1.
LIVE HALL OF FAME
The FFS Live Hall of Fame was updated again this afternoon (Monday 22nd September) and is now based on results up to the end of Gameweek 5 but, unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame, it can only be viewed by Chief Scouts (premium members).
54,867 managers participating in our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in it.
The top twelve (with their Career Hall of Fame positions and current overall ranks in brackets) are:
- 1st (1st) Ben Crellin (OR 4.143m).
- 2nd (2nd) Tom Dollimore (OR 3.191m).
- 3rd (5th) – elevenify.com (OR 2.630m).
- 4th (4th) John Walsh (OR 3.147m).
- 5th (8th) Fábio Borges (Bench Boost, OR 1.114m).
- 6th (-) Harry Daniels (Bench Boost, OR 2.091m).
- 7th (6th) Rob Mayes (OR 2.661m).
- 8th (3rd) Abinav C (OR 5.916m).
- 9th (10th) Łukasz Woźniak (Bench Boost, OR 1.466m).
- 10th (26th) FPL Pro (Bench Boost, OR 531k).
- 11th (21st) Anoop K (OR 654k).
- 12th (7th) Gideon Moss (OR 4.263m).
Since the Gameweek 4 update, Fábio Borges, Harry Daniels and Rob Mayes have all overtaken Abinav C; Łukasz Woźniak has returned to the top ten; FPL Pro (who came 339th in 2023/24 following two earlier top 7k finishes) is a new top ten entry; and Anoop K and Gideon Moss have dropped to eleventh and twelfth.
Four of the twelve played their Bench Boosts this week – the other eight haven’t played theirs yet (Most of the mini-league leaders played theirs earlier, many of them in Gameweek 1). Anoop K was the only one of the twelve to own Haaland, but all twelve captained Salah.
One more Career Hall of Fame top tenner is also no longer that high in the Live Hall of Fame:
- 16th (9th) Michael Giovanni (OR 3.769m).
The only other leaders featured in this article who are ranked in the top thousand of the Live Hall of Fame are Chris Atkinson (866th), Roberto Losito (887th) and Johnny Brosnan (106th).
