With leagues across the Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Sky Sports, Sun Dream Team and Champions League games there is plenty to catch up on this afternoon. We look at those who have excelled during Gameweek 6 and those who are a little richer after having a great week in our PlayON game.

Fantasy Premier League

Hemant Gosavi remains at the top of the Scout league after racking up 67 points last weekend. John Terry, Aaron Ramsey, Daniel Sturridge and captain Wayne Rooney all produced double figures for Hemant, who sits in tenth spot in the overall standings. Ed C climbs to second after a 71-point Gameweek – despite handing the armband to Mesut Ozil. He had Ramsey, Yaya Toure, Sturridge and Romelu Lukaku to thank as he moved to 72nd spot overall.

Third-placed David Wilson handed Luis Suarez the armband last weekend as his side registered a total of 79 points. Ramsey, Robbie Brady, Olivier Giroud and Roberto Soldado all chipped in with the points. Glenn Tyler is in fourth spot in the Scout league, with captain Rooney, Sturridge, Giroud and Terry joined by Ross Barkley and Peter Whittingham in producing the attacking returns, while Rory Stoneman rockets into the top five with a score of 91 points. He captained Sturridge and also had Barkley, Toure, Brady, Loic Remy and a couple of Southampton backline options amongst his starting XI. Thanks to the efforts of our featured managers, Fantasy Football Scout remains at the top of the best leagues – the code to join is 1580-1106.

Wasana Busby is a non-mover at the top of the Fantasy Football Scout members league. Captain Rooney, Suarez, Barkley, Toure, Jose Fonte and Allan McGregor all helped produce a total of 69 points – Wasana sits on 409 points overall. Angga Haqqu climbs to second after a score of 83 points in Gameweek 6 – Suarez, Ramsey, Toure and Barkley were the main men here – whilst third spot goes to Ivan Heneghan, who had Sturridge and Southampton pair Rickie Lambert and Fonte amongst his key performers.

Sky Sports Fantasy Football

Roberto Losito climbs to top spot in our Sky Sports league. He is now in 59th place overall with a score of 486 points – just a couple of points ahead of second-placed Leo Reid, whilst Alan Davey completes the top three with an overall tally of 477 points. The winner of our Sky league, which has slipped into second in 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 continues to lead the way in our Sun league. His decision to load up on six Spurs and three Arsenal players is proving a wise tactic, with Leighton Baines and Robin Van Persie making up the XI. Lee sits on 456 points – 19 points ahead of Rhys Niyazi in second, who has seven of his 11 players plying their trade in north London. Geoff Pryor takes third position with 419 points; he’s opted for a more balanced side, with at least two players from Chelsea, Arsenal, City and Spurs. To join visit The Sun Dream Team, league name: Fantasy Football Scout, password: ReWOZhn1T1 and PIN: 8061654.

Playon

Ed Shardlow was the winner of PlayON’s exclusive Fantasy Football Scout £2 game. His decision to back Luis Suarez and Romelu Lukaku amongst others helped him collect £34.78, second-placed Thomas Clark earned himself £23.31 and Mick Wall, in third, took home £17.64.

Champions League

The rankings for the official Champions League game were updated after last night’s round of results. FC leads the way on 202 points – a frontline of Cristiano Ronaldo, Robert Lewandowski and Jackson Martinez all produced over the midweek matches to help FC into ninth spot overall. Diegocho33 is also on 202 points, despite taking a six-point hit – he had an identical front three for Matchday 2 – whilst Fisch sits just a couple of points behind and has climbed to 19th overall. The details for joining our mini-league are: league name FFScout, league code 1209685-489925.

    I have both Chester and Brady injured, could get a full team out but have the risk of Collins (WHAM) on the bench too. I do not want to take a hit so is Chester to Kolo Toure a sensible move?

    Team would be

    Cech
    Toure/Mert/Vidic
    Barkley/Ozil/Michu/Arfa
    Sturridge/Soldado/Lambert

        If I do take the hit I am unsure on who to upgrade Brady to, I have Brady (5.2 at the moment and 1.7 in the bank). So maybe Amafilitano or someone else?

          Terry may just edge it as I think they have slightly better fixtures for upcoming weeks. However, next week I would also get a Spurs defender.

    So, I've been playing 7 years and have done fairly well.

    My tactic has been to pick a spine (1 Keeper, 1 Defender, 1 Midfielder and 1 Striker) and build a team around them. My spine consists of the MOST reliable (and usually expensive) point scorers of the previous season and almost certainly (bar injury) doesn't change. I rotate and transfer the rest of the players based on fixtures and form.

    My brother's tactic is to look at the season in 6-week blocks. From the start of the season, he chooses players from the teams with good fixtures for those first 6 games.This can often mean he's trebled up with players from certain clubs. Over the following weeks, he slowly makes transfers (while occasionally saving his free ones) until, like a snake, his team has shed it's original skin and looks totally different. His team is then set up with players that have good fixtures for the next 6 gameweeks. He also does quite well.

    My best mate picks a team with THE most expensive defenders and lets the rest of the team take care of itself. He doesn't do so well.

    Anyone else have an interesting tactic? Or is it mostly chosing the players who did well the week before?

      WC when the transfer window closes and then try and get as many price rises as I can in that week.

      Monitor player performance over 4 weeks and sub them out quickly if they are not performing unless they have really easy fixtures coming up.

      Try and get on the boat early for players hitting form and price rising.

      Try and get the potential big point scorers on the cheap

      Never sign newly signed players until they have proved they can do it in the EPL.

      Hopefully have a respectable score by Xmas and team has a good bit of added value so you can have more premium players for the tail end of the season.
