Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after the final Gameweek of the 2021/22 season.
WORLD LEADERS
The 2021/22 FPL Champion is Jamie Pigott. He entered the top thousand in Gameweek 20, played his Second Wildcard in Gameweek 34 and made a big leap from 393rd to tenth in Gameweek 36 when he played his Bench Boost for 201 points (Gameweek Rank 310). He reached the number one spot with a Free Hit for 110 in Gameweek 37, and increased his lead in Gameweek 38 with a final round score of 72.
Suvansh Singh (winner of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league) and Brett Taylor (winner of our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league) finished second and third respectively.
BEST FPL LEAGUES
Fantasy Football Scout Members is the third best league in FPL this season, based on the average score of the top five teams in each league.
FFSCOUT COMMUNITY MEMBERS LEAGUE
Suvansh Singh is the winner of our Fantasy Football Scout Members mini-league which he has led for three weeks. He entered the overall top thousand in Gameweek 22 and rose to second in Gameweek 36 when he played his Bench Boost for 180 points, retaining this position till the end – but unlike the new FPL Champion he did not have a Free Hit available to play in Gameweek 37. This is his first FPL season, and he is the skipper of the Krul Intentions team in the Strikers Keepers Losers Weepers community competition.
The top five win Amazon vouchers and the next five win Premium Memberships, as detailed in this article.
