Hall of Fame number one Fábio Borges joins Fantasy Football Scout for 2020/21

We at Fantasy Football Scout are delighted to announce that we’ve added yet another high-profile name to our all-star cast of contributors for the 2020/21 season.

And Fantasy Premier League managers don’t come much more illustrious than Fábio Borges, who currently sits atop our Career Hall of Fame.

You’ll need a pretty impressive season history to claim first place in those rankings and Fábio boasts an incredible track record of five successive finishes in the top 5,000 of FPL.

Two of those have been inside the top 1k, with his best-ever overall rank of 95th recorded in 2018/19.

Fábio has never finished outside the top 20,000 in six seasons of playing the game and, just to underscore his prowess, he was also the winner of Ragabolly’s inaugural Virtual FPL competition over the summer.


The Lisbon resident will be involved with Fantasy Football Scout in a Pro Pundit capacity and will be writing articles throughout the season.

Fábio follows site founder Mark Sutherns in joining our star-studded team of contributors, which includes some of the best FPL managers in the world.

The likes of Lateriser, Zophar and Tom Freeman, who have multiple top 1k finishes between them, have come aboard for another year and we are thrilled that they will be writing for us once again in 2020/21.

While there will be our usual offering of free content from these elite names, only Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout will get unrestricted access to all of their analysis and team reveals.

Full-year subscriptions are available for the pre-season price of £17.50 until August 31, while rolling monthly Memberships can be purchased for £2.99.

    Dele essential, 2 assists in 10 mins

      Dele did well this past season considering he was out most of the time. Definitely a good option from Spurs attack. Cheap as well...

    When do Palace play pre season?

    1. pingissimus
      • 5 Years

      Tuesday - first of 4 scheduled

  3. KGFC

    Spurs starting Sessegnon at wing back. If he can nail his spot, could be an intriguing defence option @5.0. Do expect Mou's Spurs to keep a few CS this season.

      I think that he cant. But we gonna wait and see.

    So, so much wrong at Everton that all comes down to a lack of players who can be arsed to play for the jersey.

    Gylfi Sigurdsson's performances last season were the worst I've seen him play for any club. All pace gone, jumping out of tackles, refusing to play balls forward. Not only was his piss poor, but it's the kind of attitude that warrants not just dropping but selling. Instead today he's rewarded with the captaincy??

    Not surprising the message that gives out to the likes of Tom Davies and Alex Iwobi - who, both young, could have done with a rocket and one final chance - but they've started today as they finished last term. Anonymous.

    We're okay at the back and have good options going forward, but especially DCL needs balls into the box to poach from. We seem to have mastered the set plays, but that's about it.

    Best get Kane in me thinks...

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Far too many has beens been bought on stupid contracts.

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Slightly worried about Doucoure arriving on a 120k a week deal. Although, can we do better?

    2. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, even if its a pre-season you've got to take it a bit seriously. Being down 3 goals against Blackpool isn't a great signal for things to come. But could be a bit early to say.

    3. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’m not arguing with your points, but the obvious issue is our lack of defensive midfielders. Bought Gbamin & Delph and they both missed almost the entire season. Fix that and we’re a completely different proposition.

      Definitely a lack of leaders in the squad too.

      I know there are other issues, but they’re the main ones.

      Try not to get too upset about pre-season.

      1. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Totally agree with this.

      2. thepuntmaster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I do think the issue is twofold.

        There's a lack of quality for sure and we never properly replayed Gueye.

        The other half is just the attitude in the side. If we're going to be poor, I'd want to go down with a fight and so few players have that now.

        If anyone can work a miracle is Carlo... and at least DCL has got a couple today

        1. Team Bobcat
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Quality or not we just keep making excuses for them.

          If they just tried we would be happy. They dont even know how to do that.

        2. pingissimus
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          You sold McCarthy - been really great for Palace. Misstep

      3. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I agree that cool heads are required now more than ever...

        But...

        although it is only pre season I have seen enough of this team in real season to think differently.

        They dont have it. They should stop pretending and man up.

        Wait for the liverpool echo bull this evening. I hope none of them say a thing. Just show us you care the next day, the next day and the day after that. Am Iasking too muchof them. Definitely not.

        This Everton team have a habit of looking like they are not trying more often than not. That I can not understand as a sports person.

        Anyway itis what it is. Shameful stuff

    4. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Would like to see Everton get rid of Siggy, Iwobi, Walcott, Bolasie and Tosun and use the money to buy someone like Dwight McNeil and make Sidibe permanent.

      Would like to see Everton try:

      Pickford
      Coleman Mina Keane Digne
      Bernard Gbamin Gomes McNeil*
      Richarlison
      DCL

      1. Third Eye Vision
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Bernard had one good performance in the whole of last season.

        1. diesel001
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Bernard is the weak link in that team, but not sure where the right winger comes from if you spend the money on McNeil. Don't say Walcott and Iwobi as they are terrible.

      2. The 12th Man
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Don’t forget Sandro Ramirez and Mo Besic.

        Yeh someone like McNeil would be good for us.

        1. thepuntmaster
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I always liked Mo. Would be happy to have him stay

          1. The 12th Man
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            A sprint away from an injury but yeh at least he tries.

      3. thepuntmaster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        What about Holgate?

        I think Iwobi might still come good and who knows what's going on with Bolasie, but if he's still got some pace and wants to play then I'd like to see him make some sort of comeback. Dwight McNeil would be a canny signing.

        Think I'd maybe want to set up a bit like this, presuming Allan and Doucoure come in.

        Pickford
        Coleman Mina Keane Digne
        Holgate - Allan
        Gordon/Bernard - Doucoure - Richi
        DCL

        1. Third Eye Vision
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Bolasie is crocked.

    5. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Same auld story.

      I too am an Everton fan. I have seen enough of this team over the last two seasons to think the same.

      The team as a whole seem to be suffering a confidence crisis anxhave being doing so with three years or more. BigSam hintedat it when he took the reins way back then.

      It is very evident when we fall a goal behind. Every player downs tools and we seem to do it so often that it has become the norm.

      It is very difficult to puck

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        The problem can not be simply all the players, or the manger. The whole back room team and everyone needs to start taking a serious look at themselves.

        I read somewhere yesterday that Mason Holgate said that 12thplace finish was simplynot good enough. On the evidence today he is not good enough.

        Seamus Coleman seems to constantly reciting the same waffle.

        Pickfords antics in goal when agoal goes in is an embarrassment. Rantinv and raving at those in front of him. Shut his mouth and look after no 1. That would bemy advice to him. But sure what do I know.

        Circus act from A to Z...

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years

      Yeah like the look of him to

    2. KGFC
      • 7 Years

      WBA?

    3. Dacra
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He's on my shortlist. TAA, Vinagre, 4.0 + 2x4.5s...

    4. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Could be the 4.5 I’m looking for.
      Is he a sure starter do you know?

    5. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Johnstone is a good pick me thinks. Ex Man Utd and known for saving pens

    6. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      When he joined the PL he scored 15 and 8 in GW1-2 then averaged

        Do u have the same opinion of wba as u did of shu. Might double up if thats the case

        1. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          You shouldn't believe what you read on here from the mouths of rose tinted kid Blades fans who write want they want people to see as opposed to the truth. Firstly at the beginning of last season and against the opinion of many I predicted that Sheff Utd would stay up . However when the individual I alluded to starts confidently predicting Europa League and maybe even ECL football a serious reality check is required. Yes I didn't think that they would make the top 10 and I was wrong but so effing what ? At least I gave my opinion rather yourself who just naively accepted the ramblings of a rose tinted supporter. Fir what it's worth I believe that WBA will get whipped in the PL and this is the view shared by my season ticket holding Baggie nephew. Shame that you are spineless enough not to voice an opinion rather preferring just to criticise those of others . Grow up idiot.

    3. Licky

      Basically their strongest team from available players, they'll probably change it out at half time.

    4. KGFC

      Wow, that's a strong team for the first pre-season match!

      1. Licky

        With the Ox and Henderson questionable to start the season that's not a bad shout. You'd probably want to spend that money elsewhere though.

          Depends on the player then, wasn't sure if you meant the cheap 4.5 lads. I'm a fan of Armstrong and ASM at 5.5 in midfield and will probably start with one of them.

          Up top I'm not liking the look of Antonio or wood really after fixtures released. Mitro or Adams at 6m may be decent at that price. 7m for DCL could be an interesting differential but don't think I will go there to start with.

      Forward, closer to the opposition goal to score points is my theory

      Depends which one

    5. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Adams and Armstrong double up seems a good cheap combo to go for. Otherwise punt on Pereira as cut price mid.

    McCarthy
    Trent Tierney Vinagre Justin (Ferguson)
    Salah Aubameyang Soucek StM (Fernandes)
    Werner Mitrovic (Davis)

    Deciding to unleash Fernandes for GW 2 without any need of a transfer, and bring in Doc Gw3 for Tierney and possibly Sterling dependant on Aubameyang!!

    I hate mourinho's playing style.
    Don't know whether spurs' fixtures are trap or not. They are just too good long term

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Think with the European fixtures early on he will preserve energy where possible and stick out 2 goals wins

    2. Good Times
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      His play style helps defenders keep cleansheets is something to look into at least

      1. Emiliano Sala
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Son is my doubt mainly

    3. KGFC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I'd stay clear for now. Barring NEW, their first four aren't going to be a goal-fest. And for that reason, both Son and Kane look expensive. Also, factor in the rotation for Son and fatigue for Kane due to EL and England matches.

          Do you think your side can push top 8 this season? I was impressed by what I saw post lockdown, Ralph has installed his pressing philosophy and you look a decent team. many decent FPL options as well with Mcarthy, KWP, Armstrong, Adams and Ings.

    What combo scores more over the first 6-7 GWks:

    A. Vinagre, Rashford, Ziyech
    B. Doherty, Bruno, ASM

    Both options will also have Salah, KDB, Werner, TAA as the other big hitters.

      People took him out?

    2. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He never left mine to be fair.
      I had a feeling though, that if Spurs had some favourable fixtures, he would become a popular pick. Especially with the Manchester clubs missing GW1.

    3. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He looks a nice punt for first few games and can be moved onto united player when needed. I was a bit skeptical as Spurs under mourinho don't blow teams away and often sit back when they go 1-0 up.

      However at 9m he is kindly priced and may be OOP up front again.

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Will he be up front with Kane back though is the question?

        1. HollywoodXI
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          No

          They were playing 2 up top last season with son and kane. I'm hoping they continue with this, will be a bit worried if son is getting game time out wide as mourinho likes his wingers to track a long way back.

          However I'm only likely to have him in my team for a few weeks and he's the sort of player who can get a brace with a nice long shot or counter attack.

          1. Flair
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Not really, Son played up front in the 4-4-2 a few times but he was just as likely to be holding hands with the touchline in a 4-2-3-1.

          2. HollywoodXI
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            If you look at Son and Kane’s heat maps since project restart you’ll see Son is hugging the wing the majority of time with Kane up front

    4. Dynamic Duos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He had his best season under Mourinho last season , so he is my team.

    5. HollywoodXI
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He’s playing up front against Ipswich. When Kane returns for the EPL games he’ll revert to the wing and Kane will be their focal point.

    Feels like Gordon is going to win a starting place sooner rather than later. Ancelotti seems to like him and his competition isn't exactly spectacular at the moment.

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yep, the best 4.5 midfielder to have.

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      If he starts playing 60+ minutes regularly then he will be the 4.5m mf in virtually everyone's team. Including mine.

  29. I Member

    Could Foyth start at RB for Spurs if Aurier leaves?

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      He can start anywhere across the 5 atb as far as I'm concerned and I would happily get a spurs def for 4.5.
