The current lull in domestic matters affords us time to pause and assess the Scout leagues in a variety of Fantasy games. With leagues in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Ultimate Fantasy Premier League, Sky Sports and the Fantasy iTeam (FiT) Champions League game, there is much for us to analyse:

Fantasy Premier League

Milan Mihajlovic sits atop the Scout League with a total of 462 points after the first seven Gameweeks. Having already played his wildcard, he’s opted for big-hitters Diego Costa and Sergio Aguero up front along with Romelu Lukaku, whilst in midfield, the likes of Angel di Maria, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Raheem Sterling have been crucial to his ascent up the rankings. Intriguingly, Milan – who is second overall – has only one defender priced at 5.0 or over, Southampton’s Ryan Bertrand.

Maciek takes second spot after a Gameweek 7 score of 64 points. He’s tripled up on Chelsea trio Branislav Ivanovic, Cesc Fabregas and Costa and also has the likes of Di Maria, Sterling and Sigurdsson in the centre of the park. Up top, though, he’s opted for Radamel Falcao and Danny Welbeck on his way to 455 points, or 14th overall.

In third position is Stephen Hourie, who has also racked up 455 points so far. His inspired decision to captain Di Maria earned him 70 points in Gameweek 7, whilst the likes of Costa, Sterling, Sigurdsson and Fabregas all chipped in with returns. Intriguingly, he’s opted for Welbeck and Leonardo Ulloa up top, allowing him to acquire big-hitters Ivanovic and Leighton Baines at the back.

Fourth-placed Craig Ellis is a new entry to the Scout League. He also has a number of the usual suspects – Costa, Di Maria, Sigurdsson, Fabregas and Sterling – though placed his faith in a couple of differentials last week, with James Tomkins and Jamie Vardy both helping him up to 24th overall, on 451 points.

Peter Chesley completes the top five on 450 points. After a slight fall last weekend, he’ll be hoping Southampton trio Ryan Bertrand, Dusan Tadic and Graziano Pelle can take advantage of the upcoming five fixtures and fire him back up the leaderboard.

Thanks to our top five, we have retained our spot at the top of the League of Leagues, as we look to retain our crown once again. To join up, the code is 11856-4526.

Peter Chesley also impresses in our Members league and leads the way, whilst Marc Wilcox is second on 439 points and Charles Garnier third on 438 points.

Ultimate Fantasy Premier League

Joe Connolly is the new leader of the UFPL Scout League. He racked up 94 points last time around and moves onto 570 points for the season, enough to earn him fifth spot in the overall standings. Lee C drops into second on 565 points, or 12th overall, whilst Lee Fricker climbs into third on 564 points, enough to take 16th spot thus far. To join our UFPL league, the code is 524-87.

Sky Sports Fantasy Football

Stephen Lambert is the current Scout league leader, after racking up 537 points in the first few Gameweeks. Stephen sits 17th in the overall standings and is just three points ahead of Ashley Rastrick, who is second in our league, and 21st overall, with third placed Jack McKenna sitting on 533 points, earning him 22nd spot in the overall standings so far. The winner of our Sky league, which is also top in the league of leagues, wins £1,000. To join up, the league name is FFScout and the code is 8009000.

Champions League

Our official Champions League game this season is the Fantasy iTeam (FiT) offering – a free, reliable and easy-to-use Fantasy football app. After two rounds of Matchdays, Matt Parsons heads the Scout Legaue with 162 points, though he’s closely followed by Daniel Lord (160 points) and Waleed Cherif on 159 points. There’s an iPad mini on offer to the winner – the league name is Fantasy Football Scout and the pin is 11155.

We’ve set up another league for those brave souls willing to place their faith in the official Champions League game. There’s just three points separating our top three in this competition – rahmanok leads the way on 142 points, closely followed by gkalaf and Pavlle on 141 and 140 points respectively.

      I doubt many will own him to transfer him out.

      Went over in the box, got up gingerly. Didn't look bad. Played for around 5 mins before jogging off. The Siggy injury on the other hand...

      Any Homeland and Walking Dead fans here?

      Loving that Homeland starts a new series tonight and Walking Dead starts again tomorrow night 🙂

      It's gonna be epic.

      1. Wouter
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Love Homeland! Is season 4 starting tonight?

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Yep Channel 4 🙂

          It's so good

          1. Wouter
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Hopefully the 4th season will be too. Hard to see how it will be as exciting as the first 3 seasons, after the ending of the third season. Looking forward to it, regardless. 😀

            1. Fantasy Gold
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Just putting it on now, recorded it so I can cut out the adverts 🙂

      2. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Yep, love WD. I watched all of Homeland, quite liked it and will probably carry on watching it but I'm sceptical about how good it will be. Seems to have been going downhill since series 1

        1. Fantasy Gold
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah I agree with you there Bubz, it gets more far-fetched with every passing series but I still find it gripping.

          WD is my favourite series ever. It's that good. Can't wait to see what happens at Terminus 🙂

      Welbz injured?

      The value of not going for an early transfer i guess

    7. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Did Siggy's head fall off then ? 😯

    8. Who Ate All Depays?

      What is all this Siggy injury about ?

      1. Wouter
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Should be alright. The Di Maria injury on the other hand.......

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Di Maria is fine

          I found his head rolling around my front yard

          am mailing back to him tomorrow

      Guys, how do you rate this WC team?

      Manonne
      Cahill Baines Chambers
      Sterling Fab Siggy Lallana
      Aguero Costa Berahino

      Subs- Hutton Wisdom Boyd

      1. Tinmen
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Sorry i meant Di Maria instead of Sterling

      2. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years

        Usually out of 10

      3. laGan1n1

        City and Arsenal cover ?

        1. Tinmen
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Aguero and Chambers

      4. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Chambers is suspended for the weekend don't forget, would probably go Sakho over Berahino then make that swap next week, when WHam face City

      5. Screaming Midget
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Get rid of Chambers. Can you fit Berty/Clyne in?

        1. Tinmen
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Was looking at them too. Might do

    12. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      so Sterling reported that he was fatigued, but played 20 mins?

      what do we think?

      does have a week until his next game, should be good right?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        At his age a full week's rest should have him full of beans again

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          That's my thinking

          Think I'll wind up waiting till Thursday or Friday for transfers

          Need to get proper confirmation on Welbz before I do anything

          1. Bubz
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            I, annoyingly, have already brought him in this week. Praying he's fine.

            1. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              I have 5.0 in the bank

              made no sense for me to do anything

        2. Screaming Midget
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          At his age he should be able to play 4 times a week.. but don't get me started... 😀

    13. DRY PEANUT

      Anyone else watching SS1 Race for the title 2013-14?

        I'd say wait for the sports news tomorrow to be sure

    16. Tinmen
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Who's the better option folks?

      Naismith
      Berahino

      1. aapoman
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Naismith imo

      2. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Fixtures say Naismith

        Form says Berahino

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        No, total waste of a Saints spot when they have so many good options

        1. Screaming Midget
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

      Is Azpi nailed on guys? Is he too risky to bring in?

      1. Mile Plankton - Myth and Ch…
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Think he's nailed for the league.

      2. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        seems like it's

        Ivan + Azpi for league

        Ivan and Luis for CL

        Azpi and Luis for cups

      3. Screaming Midget
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I think he's on par with Ivan but won't score as many attacking points. But he does seem to be nailed on.

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          I'd agree with all of this

          to me it all depends on what you'd do with the money saved by getting Azpi

          for me it's

          Ivan and Naismith

          v

          Azpi and Welbeck (if fit)

          Think the latter shades it

          1. Screaming Midget
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            "to me it all depends on what you'd do with the money saved by getting Azpi"

            + 1
