Having given our top ranking managers in the Fantasy Premier League game their fifteen minutes earlier this week, it’s now time to put the Sky Sports Fantasy Football game in focus. We check on our Scout League leaders, monitor the transfer trends and look to tonight’s episode of the Fantasy Football Club…

Scout League Standings

Paul Hennessy remains on top of the Scout League going into Gameweek 5. A Gameweek 4 tally of 63 points was enough to stretch his lead to 3 points, with Ben Salter back on the ascendency and sitting in second. Jonathan Lenharth and Niels Koopman retain their top five spots as they give chase to the top two.

Paul and Ben are second and third in the game overall, with Hennessy 14 points behind the leader in the tussle for the £25k first prize. A mention here for Scout Contributor, Andy, he’s currently sitting 12th in the Scout League and in 72nd spot overall: it’s nose bleed time for Goddard.

The Scout League remains on top in the League of Leagues, with almost an 18 point margin separating us from the league in second.

A reminder that if you’re playing the Sky Sports game and have yet to join our league, you can sign up to the FFScout League with this Pin: 8004519.

Market Forces

Jermain Defoe is sitting on top of the most transferred in ranks for this week, with 5.3% of transfers involving the Spurs striker – a reaction to his two-goal salvo at Reading on Sunday which helped him to a 16-point haul. Eden Hazard remains a popular target, despite drawing a blank at Loftus Road, he has taken up 4.9% of transfers in this week, with Arsenal pairing Carl Jenkinson and Santi Cazorla also seeing 3.7% and 3.5% respectively.

Interestingly, it’s Robin Van Persie who tops the transfers out over the last seven days, a direct result of him being benched for the drubbing of Wigan last weekend. Having been the most popular captain going into the Gameweek, Van Persie was transferred out in 5.7% of the deals made this week. Carlos Tevez, despite notching the assist in the stalemate at Stoke, has been the next most ousted player – no doubt to make way for the likes of Defoe in many a lineup. Tevez has been sold in 3.3% of the transfer deals this week.

Both Van Persie and Tevez remain mainstays in many squads, however, with Van Persie currently skippered by over 18% of Sky Sports managers going into the weekend. At present, Tevez is claiming 9% of the captaincies with Eden Hazard sandwiched between this pair on 10.7%.

Incredibly, despite top scoring with 17 points last weekend, Dimitar Berbatov remains on just 1.9% ownership at the time of writing.

The Fantasy Football Club – 10pm Tonight

Everton legend, Neville Southall, is shuffling into the Fantasy Football Club dressing room tonight to no doubt reminensce about his glorious Goodison days. He’s joined by boxer Tony Bellew, while Norwich stopper, John Ruddy, will be on the studio hotline with Fenners and Merse ahead of his trip to Newcastle. Listen out for this week’s tips from the “ITK” – in case you missed it, last week he delivered on Brad Guzan, Rafael and Dimitar Berbatov.

Erghhhhh the doubt is now casting itself in my decision of RVP captain. He's fixture proof but he has already screwed me over twice....and Ben Arfa is just so cool

  You're letting people sway you now.. HBA may be a flair pick but certainly not even a fraction of the goal threat that RVP is

    Yeh you are right. Ben Arfa is just the flairiest player in the premier league and RVP is an actual goal threat

Wondering whether to play Snodgrass or take Jelavic out for a hit...

At the moment I'm of thinking of just playing Snoddy because of Newcastles injuries, but I'm not sure.

Anyone have any opinions on this? Thanks in advance 🙂

  Play Snod mate, at least you won't HAVE to get a goal/assist/few BP out of the guy you bring in for Jelavic to make the move worth it. Newcastle atm isn't the worst fixture to have for an attacking player 😉

So have just taken a 4pt hit for Cazorla > Ben Arfa.

Opinions on whether this was wise? was a 2 gameweek long investment, arsenal's shitty fixtures and newcastle's class ones...

    Thanks in my head its really between Michu, Berb, Caz & Kag. I was leaning away from Kag, mainly as a heart over head kinda way.
    
    Just needed some independent advice 🙂

  I guess Nani just picked up the ball and took it. Fergie said that it would be Kagawa's turn next, but who know what the reality will be....
