For the final time, we assess the Scout leagues in a variety of Fantasy games after the campaign drew to a close on Sunday afternoon. With leagues in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Ultimate Fantasy Premier League, Sky Sports, Sun Dream Team and Champions League games there is much for us to analyse:
FPL, Fantasy Football Scout League. Winner: Tom Fenley, Overall Ranking 1
Tom Fenley, the winner of the Scout league and Members league, was also world number one in the FPL game. Like many of us, Tom was let down by captain Luis Suarez on Sunday but still had Aaron Ramsey, Juan Mata, Yaya Toure, Edin Dzeko and Laurent Koscielny to thank for a 48-point haul which took him to 2,634 points – enough to win the crown by a single point.
Eoin Maye climbed up to second in the Scout League after a 66-point Gameweek. Eoin’s midfielders (Mata, Ramsey, Samir Nasri and Stephane Sessegnon) earned him 40 points, whilst Cesar Azpilicueta, Leighton Baines, Joel Ward and Dzeko atoned for a Suarez armband let-down as Eoin finished the season in sixth spot overall.
Veronika Solymosi was a non-mover in third thanks to a Gameweek 38 score of 58 points. Baines, Seamus Coleman and Martin Demichelis all served up a clean sheet, whilst Mata, Dzeko and captain Daniel Sturridge helped Veronika move up to seventh place overall.
Our recent podcast guest and former world number one Luke Weston dropped down to fourth after producing 35 points on Sunday afternoon. Toure and Ward were joined by Marko Arnautovic and captain Romelu Lukaku as Luke finished eighth overall – incredibly, that was his lowest placing in the rankings since Gameweek 12 in an outstandingly consistent season.
Michael Atkins clinched fifth spot courtesy of a 59 point return. He opted to captain Dzeko at home to West Ham and also called upon Sturridge, Toure, Mata, Azpilicueta, Pablo Zabaleta and Bacary Sagna. With 2,584 points accrued, Michael ended the campaign in 13th spot overall.
Thanks to the performances of our top five, Fantasy Football Scout ended the season as top of the League of Leagues once again.
FPL, FFS Members League. Winner: Tom Fenley, Overall Ranking 1
As mentioned above, world number one Tom Fenley also claimed the Fantasy Football Scout Members league – the first time this feat has been achieved. Jono McPhillips ended in second spot on 2,575 points, whilst Luke van Lelyveld finished third on 2,560 points.
Ultimate Fantasy Premier League. Winner: Alex Bowers – Overall Ranking 1
We’re pleased to say that Alex Bowers, winner of the Scout league for the Beta phase of the Ultimate game, also finished world number one. Alex ended the competition on 1,099 points, whilst Bogdan Radu earned second spot after serving up 78 points at the weekend – placing him second overall. Dan Musson took third spot in the Scout League, and ninth overall, after ending on 1,074 points.
Sky Sports Fantasy Football. Winner: Dammy Olubokun – Overall Ranking 2
Dammy Olubokun’s pair of teams finished first and second in the Scout league, with 2,576 and 2,572 points respectively. Dammy’s two sides just failed to win the Sky game, finishing in second and third spot overall, though as the winner of our Sky league, he will receive £1,000. In third spot in the Scout League is Luke Williams, who writes our Friday afternoon Sky Sports Focus articles under the name d1sable – Luke is fifth in the overall standings on 2,556 points. Having won the league of leagues in our first attempt last season, we are pleased to say we have managed to retain out trophy.
Sun Dream Team. Winner: Geoff Pryer – Overall Ranking 5
Geoff Pryor was the runaway winner of the Scout League with a total of 2,099 points. His tactic of loading up on three of Chelsea’s backline and Liverpool’s front two helped him into fifth in the overall standings, just 25 points off the top. As the winner of our Sun league, Geoff also picks up £1,000, whilst Charles Mouzon ended in second and third spot in the Scout League.
Champions League. Current Leader: Pavel 123 – Overall Ranking 4
With just the final left to play on May 24, Pavel123 remains on top of the Scout League on 826 points – earning him fourth spot overall. Zadid56 sits 20 points further back in second (15th overall) and Diegocho33 is in third on 802 points, enough to earn 22nd spot overall.
