Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Blank Gameweek 29, when over a million Free Hit chips were played and the most popular captain choices were Erling Haaland (£14.8m, seven points), Chris Wood (£7.3m, two points) and Bruno Fernandes (£8.6m, 17 points).
We report on the latest news from Last Man Standing, the Head-to-Head Leagues, the newly-updated FFS Live Hall of Fame and many community mini-leagues.
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Gideon Moss has regained the lead in our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (code n6lb8d) despite taking a 12-point hit to replace six of his players. This team previously led after Gameweeks 24 and 25, now sitting 17th overall.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
Raczidian Xalorin is the new name on top of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league and has risen to 73rd worldwide.
This is open to anyone with an FFS account, the league code being visible in the SCOUT LEAGUES widget on the signed-in FFS Home Page.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 29 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS) was 36 after hits, with 29 teams eliminated.
It means that 116 are going through to Gameweek 30. To help cover each weekend, LiveFPL’s leaderboard will show its current live statistics. Its Hall of Fame section contains far more information than LMS but hasn’t yet been updated because of a minor technical issue. which merely shows the week’s scores before deduction of hit points.
The Magician (TorresMagic himself) was the highest Gameweek 29 scorer after hits, with double-digit hauls from Fernandes, Anthony Elanga (£5.3m) and Nikola Milenkovic (£4.9m). He’s had eight top 10k finishes, two of them inside the top 900.
HEAD-TO-HEAD COMMUNITY MINI-LEAGUES
Liam McAllister leads for a 10th successive week and 15th time this season in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues, increasing his lead to four points.
The highest scorer in these head-to-head leagues is still Jackson Coker (League 9 Division 104), with 76 points out of a possible 87.
See Lord’smonthly roundup for a detailed report on how the rest of the Head-to-Head Leagues stood after Gameweek 28.
