Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 26, when many Wildcarders regretted selling their Liverpool players.
As well as the mini-leagues, we also report on the latest news from Last Man Standing, the Head-to-Head Leagues and the latest update to the FFS Live Hall of Fame. Strikers Keepers Losers Weepers is covered by a separate series of articles.
HALL OF FAME UPDATE
The FFS Live Hall of Fame (which, unlike the FFS Career Hall of Fame, can only be viewed by Premium Members) was updated again on Thursday (9th March) and is now based on results up to and including Gameweek 26. 51,936 managers participating in the Fantasy Football Scout and Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-leagues are now ranked in it.
The new top ten, with FFS Career Hall of Fame positions in brackets, is:
- 1(2) Finn Sollie
- 2(1) Fábio Borges
- 3(12) Jon Ballantyne
- 4(5) Matt Corbidge
- 5(3) John Canning
- 6(26) Mark Hurst
- 7(4) Brusdal Brusdal
- 8(8) Markku Ojala
- 9(-) Jon Corke
- 10(-) Conor’s Team
Jon Ballantyne has risen two places since the previous update (which was after Gameweek 24).
Mark Hurst and Jon Corke are both in the top ten for the first time this season. Mark came 65th in 2012/13, 587th in 2015/16 and had five successive top 8k finishes from 2016/17 to 2020/21, while Jon has had four top 8k finishes, the best of which were eleventh last season and 391st in 2014/15.
Jon Ballantyne (1,250th), Conor’s Team (1,423rd) and Mark Hurst (5,070th) are the only ones currently in the overall top 10k.
FFSCOUT OPEN-TO-ALL LEAGUE
Sebastien Goeuriot is the new leader of our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (league code trz3n7) and has shot up to 47th overall with an excellent Gameweek score despite a captain fail.

Sebastien is also the new leader of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league. This mini-league is open to anyone who has an FFS account, the league code being visible in the widget on the FFS Home Page when signed in.
LAST MAN STANDING
The safety score for Gameweek 26 in TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS) was 37 after hits, with 55 teams to be removed (including 33 Wildcarders) and 362 going through to Gameweek 27.
Leander Vaz was the top scorer with 97 points, 60 of which came from his Liverpool triumvirate – Darwin, Trent and captain Salah.
HEAD-TO-HEAD LEAGUES
Sameer Sohail and RoyArve Garvic are still level on points at the top of League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues despite both losing again, but Sameer (who is 65th in our newly updated FFS Live Hall of Fame) still leads by virtue of his superior overall ranking. An incredibly close league, with only two points now covering the top eight.
The joint highest scorers in the Head-to-Head Leagues are now Richard Clarke in League 2 Division 1, Gila M in League 8 Division 23 and Dan Furneaux in League 8 Division 49, who all have 67 points out of a possible 78. Richard and Dan are 20th and 224th in our FFS Live Hall of Fame.
