This season our scouting department will be giving an update prior to the start of each game week to give you all the information you need to get your team top of the standings.
Roster Moves
Very light in roster moves this week with the only departure being Anton Karlsson from Fife who had done well in his 24 games this season, picking up 27 points. 7 GM’s had already traded him away last week so that now leaves another 15 GM’s with him on their roster.
In terms of overall selections Colton Saucerman still leads the way with 157 overall although that was as high as 230 back in week 7. He is being chased down by Cardiff’s Brandon Estes (141), Sheffield’s Mitchell Balmas (132) and Belfast’s Mike Lee (118).
Most traded for player last week was Sheffield’s Brett Ritchie and Coventry’s Grant Mismash who both gained an extra 7 selections. Ritchie owners will be concerned that he never made it out of warm-up for the Steelers last game though. Mitchell Fossier who has just returned from injury has also been popular with 6 more selections.
Who’s Hot?
We have our final value rise of the season with some familiar names on the list again. If you want these players at their current values then trade for them before the switch to the next gameweek.

The streak continues with another blank week for Grant Mismash despite Coventry winning two out of their three games. We’ve exhausted all the FHL UK scouting network for tips so we are instead trying AI this week, with a potential scout vs AI series coming next year.
Our AI colleague has gone for Mitchell Balmas this week, here is their reasoning.
“I’m taking Mitchell Balmas.
He has:
- Three games this week (huge advantage)
- Multiple 50+ point explosions in your dataset
- A semifinal plus two high‑event league games
- The highest ceiling of any forward in the league
If anyone is going to blow the week open, it’s him”
Current average points per week so far – 20.5 points.
