Welcome to this round-up of the latest news from Last Man Standing, the Head-to-Head Leagues, the Live Hall of Fame and many FFS community mini-leagues after Gameweek 4, when 936,058 Wildcards were played and Erling Haaland again outscored Mohamed Salah.
All the current mini-league leaders apart from Petter Falk, Johnny Brosnan and Kostas Tselios now own Haaland (though only half of them owned him from the start) – but none of the top nine in the FFS Live Hall of Fame do, and they are all struggling outside the top two million.
Johnny’s captains (Salah 8, Gyokeres 12, Bruno 10 and Salah 9) and Kostas’s (Ekitike 11, Gyokeres 12, Joao Pedro 9 and 9) both scored more points than they would have done if they had perma-captained Haaland (13, 2, 9 and 13) or Salah (8, 5, 3 and 9), but not as many as Wendy Colledge’s captains (Haaland 13, Pickford 15, Haaland 9 and 13) or Roberto Losito’s (Haaland 13, Gyokeres 12, Bruno 10 and Semenyo 13).
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Wendy Colledge is the new leader of our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (league code ql9e6k) and has risen to 57th overall thanks to double-digit hauls from captain Erling Haaland, Mickey van de Ven, Antoine Semenyo and Moisés Caicedo.
If he has not already done so, David Ng’ang’a should email support@fantasyfootballscout.co.uk to claim his £50 cash prize for topping the mini-league after Gameweek 3.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
Wendy is also the new leader of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league (which is open to anyone who has an FFS account, the league code being visible in the View League Codes link on the FFS Home Page when signed in).
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 4 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (league code skotto) was 49 after hits. 81 teams will be removed, leaving 1,312 to go through to Gameweek 5. Entry has now re-opened, the scores needed after hits being 41, 32, 32 and 49.
John Forshaw was the highest scorer of the Gameweek, thanks to double-digit hauls from captain Haaland, van de Ven, Semenyo and Cristian Romero. He came 396th in 2020/21 following two earlier top 8k finishes.
The LMS leaderboard shows the highest scores after the deduction of hit points, as well as the teams that were in the danger zone.
FFS HEAD-TO-HEAD LEAGUES
It looks as if there will be about 10,500 teams in MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues (league code s947au) this season, so there will be ten Leagues again, and the number of Divisions in League 10 should increase to about 14. It isn’t clear whether or not it is still possible for more teams to enter.
The teams have not been allocated to Leagues and Divisions yet, so don’t leave the Entry League. When they have been, the fixtures will be backdated to start in Gameweek 1.
LIVE HALL OF FAME
The FFS Live Hall of Fame was updated again this afternoon (Monday 15th September) and is now based on results up to the end of Gameweek 4 but, unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame, it can only be viewed by Chief Scouts (premium members).
54,741 managers participating in our Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in it.
The top ten (with their Career Hall of Fame positions and current overall ranks in brackets) are:

Fábio Borges and Anoop K both played their Wildcards.
