Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout mini-leagues and community competitions round-up after Gameweek 13, a round where many points were left on the bench.
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.

Stephen Carey is the new leader of our Fantasy Football Scout mini-league (league code trz3n7) and has risen to 113th overall. He finished 373rd in 2007/08, has had a further five finishes inside the top 6k and is 45th in our newly updated FFS Live Hall of Fame. He’s certainly one to watch!

LAST MAN STANDING
See this article for details on how to enter and play TorresMagic’s Last Man Standing competition (LMS, league code 88xxin).
The safety score for Gameweek 13 was 44, after hits. This removed 134 teams, as 1,405 go through to Gameweek 14.
Troy Rouse was the top scorer with 85 points, thanks to double-digit hauls from captain Erling Haaland (£12.2m), Leon Bailey (£4.6m), Timothy Castagne (£4.5m) and Andreas Pereira (£4.6m). He has had two previous top 6k finishes.
LMS will reopen at midnight next Tuesday for new entries that have passed all the safety scores to date as listed in LMS Update.
HEAD-TO-HEAD LEAGUES
Sameer Sohail has increased his lead in League 1 of MIR’s FFS Head-to-Head Leagues to three points and now has 29 points out of a possible 39. He is 61st in our FFS Live Hall of Fame.
The only manager with a 100% record is still Nikhil Narang of League 9 Division 15.
