With leagues across Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Sky Sports and Sun Dream Team there is plenty to catch up on following the international break. We look at those who have excelled during Gameweek 4 and those who are a little richer after having a great week in our PlayON game.

Fantasy Premier League

Gameweek 4 proved a curse for Stumanchu, the previous leader of our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) mini-league. Despite an excellent score of 69 points he has slipped to second – Menat Gosavi’s score of 83 points was enough to clinch top spot, thanks to his Christian Benteke captaincy and investment in both Aaron Ramsey and Hatem Ben Arfa; Menat has also climbed to fourth in the overall rankings. In third place is another Aaron Ramsey owner, David Wilson, who notched up a score of 76 points. The code to join our FPL league, which is currently top of the league of leagues, is 1580-1106.

Our Fantasy Football Scout Members league also has a new face at the summit, with Corey Solveira taking a two point lead with a Gameweek score of 77 points. Hatem Ben Arfa and a Olivier Giroud captaincy proved crucial to Corey’s ascent. Michu-owning Matthew Jenkins sits in second place, while Ivan Heneghan’s captaincy of Ben Arfa helped him keep a firm grip on third place.

Annoyingly for those of us languishing at the foot of the Fantasy Football Scout Contributors and Moderators’ FPL league Greek Fan has finally worked out the entry code and joins in first place. Last year’s victor Andy rises to second and our newest member of the moderator team Athletico Timbo takes third.

Sky Sports Fantasy Football

With a score of 388 Nick Whitrid moves from third to first in our Sky Sports Fantasy Football league, with Josie O’Neil slipping to second and Mary Humberstone falling one place to third, with her second team in fourth. The winner of our Sky league, which is joint top of the league of leagues, wins £1,000. To join, visit Sky Sports Fantasy Football and key in League Name: FFScout, League Code: 8000112.

The Sun Dream Team

Lee Walpole tops our Sun Dream Team league with a score of 345 after some heavy investment in Tottenham and Arsenal. Just two of his players, Leighton Baines and Robin Van Persie, are from teams outside of North London. In second is Simon Wall with a score of 315, while Sam Hutchinson and Charles Mouzon share third place with a score of 314. All points are, of course, subject to change tonight following the Europa League ties. To join visit The Sun Dream Team, league name: Fantasy Football Scout, password: ReWOZhn1T1 and PIN: 8061654.

PlayOn

Anthony Squires was the winner of PlayON’s £1,000 guaranteed game with a haul of £384 thanks to a team selection that included Giroud and Ben Arfa. Carl Lane takes second and a pot of £256 and in third is Daniel Kings, who is now £152.32 richer.

In our exclusive Fantasy Football Scout PlayON £2 game a total of £232 was on offer. Kev Mather was in first place and won £69.60 after selecting, among others, Giroud and Ramsey. Anthony Squires was successful again, taking second place and winnings of £46.40 and in third place, with £18.56 in his pocket, was David Burraway.

UEFA Champions League

In our UEFA Champions League all our top three competitors captained Cristiano Ronaldo and have Lionel Messi, David Alaba, Atsuto Uchida and Isco in their sides. These five players brought them 89 points in total. Mak Gold, with a total score of 130 and an 8th place overall ranking, is first, None the Less is in second and in third is Rraya. The details for joining our UEFA Champions League mini-league are: league name FFScout, league code 1209685-489925.

        Gerrard has a lot more licence to get forward in Anfield games. They have brilliant fixtures and you just know he always has a fantasy run at some stage of three double pointers in four etc.

        Anyway just threw it out there as another option, I understand why it doesn't appeal to people as a transfer

        Swansea don't have the same depth as Spurs, Utd, City, Che and Arsenal (well they do at the moment) and therefore I think they might be affected as the season goes on....more akin to Newcastle & Stoke...

          Yeah, definitely see that as an issue, but Laudrup is no fool and they have deeper squads than Newcastle and Stoke did, I reckon. A few injuries though and everything changes.

            Need to get on a very good differential sometime soon to resurrect my abysmal rank. He looks like the perfect option with the fixtures he returns for. He might not be worth the extra alone, but with no fitness worries, arm biting ... I mean band ... potential he will be. Should've been much more than 11m based on last season tbf.

              Good reasons, good luck 🙂

              I'm hoping this week Soldado either bags a hattrick and persuades me to keep him or looks awful and persuades me to ditch him for Rooney. I'm convinced he's about to start banging them in for fun but my knee is getting twitchy...

      Wow, tough decisions. I'd be making a plan based on whether you want Rooney.

      If so i'd maybe do Mirallas -> Moses so that would give you cash to upgrade one of your strikers for Roo later on.

        oh hmm that could work. but do u think moses will be a good option? and will he be nailed on when suarez returns?

        Never quite understood the "benching issue" when a player has five good mids and three good forwards (keeps cropping up re Moses). Surely having five decent mids means that it becomes easy to ride out injuries..Also....If he's in your squad and you miss the points, because you played four others of your five, then you simply missed his points, and that applies whether he's in your squad or not..why is it better to miss the points when you don't have him ?...Is it better to have a 4.5 or 5.0 two pointer sat on your bench than a player with potential for real FPL points when needed?...makes no sense,,,Moses offers a real chance of five good mids...grab him..

          think I agree with your benching thoughts as long as you can afford it and it doesn't compromise spending elsewhere. Later in the year it's entirely possible to have all 15 (14, maybe not 2 keepers) as quality players which gives a wealth of choice

        Is Ferdinand in danger of becoming a nailed on starter for Man Utd at 5.5?

        He's played every minute so far and is hoovering up the bonus points better than Vidic. Perhaps Moyes isn't a fan of resting his defenders?
