FPL team reveals: The best five Hall of Fame managers’ Gameweek 1 drafts

The top five managers in Fantasy Football Scout’s Hall of Fame have all exclusively revealed their Fantasy Premier League (FPL) teams ahead of Friday’s Gameweek 1 deadline.

These are the cream of the crop; the FPL bosses who haven’t just racked up one outstanding overall rank but several of them.

They are as follows:

  • Fábio Borges: The Hall of Fame number 1. Has finished in the top 5k in each of the last five seasons and never outside of the top 20,000.
  • Tom Stephenson: Five-time top 5k finisher and 13 consecutive top 40k overall ranks.
  • Finn Sollie: Seven top 10k finishes in the last 11 seasons, including an overall rank of 39th in 2020/21.
  • Morten Tveito: Four straight top 10k overall ranks, three of which have been 1,051st or better.
  • Yavuz Kabuk: Seven successive top 10k finishes and eight in all, featuring two in the top 1,000.

The Hall of Famers have been good enough to share their drafts with us ahead of Gameweek 1 although we’ve respected the wishes of two of them to not have their names attached to a particular team reveal, so have instead anonymised all five.

      £12m, he's a £100m player... FPL towers will want to shake things up in terms of squads / template...

    10. dabber7
      • 3 Years

      10.5 or 11.0

  2. mdm

        1. Nomar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          No, it’s all a figment of our imagination

  4. DGW blindness is for Kinnea…
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Template reveal = spoon feed = yuck
    Same 7 players in every team

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Not a single 5.0 goalkeeper kinda surprises me.

  5. adstomko
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone like this? No more tinkering tonight.

    Bachmann
    TAA, Shaw, Digne, Tsimikas
    Salah, Bruno, Mahrez, Dele

      Yes

  6. Saka Rice
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Please someone tell me your plans for fitting Son in from GW2 or 3

    1. adstomko
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Punting on Dele instead

    2. Sad Pablo Arsecobar
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Just put him in from the start. City likely to concede imo

  7. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Best 10.5m DF combo for the first few GWs for this back 7

    Sanchez Bachmann

    Shaw White Tsimikas xxxxxxx xxxxxxxx

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Stupendous

    3. In FPHell
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Coufal, Ayling
      Use the 1.0M left over to upgrade elsewhere

  8. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Would tou go with Jota or Barnes?

    1. The Pesci challenge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Barnes

    2. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I’m going Barnes

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Jota has to have the higher ceiling

    4. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Barnes

  9. Benditlike
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    So guys.. anyone care to tell me what is the most template team right now? 😀

    1. Stupendous
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Scroll through the last 63 articles and 1400 pages

  10. BigKeith
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Which midfield would you go with?

    A. Gundo, Son, Greenwood, Salah, (Raph)
    B. Bruno, Barnes, Raph, Salah (Bissouma)

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      A

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      B

  11. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    A) Cresswell
    B) Maguire (have Shaw)

  12. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Playing the FPL draft game- is this the correct starting line-up, or would you start someone else off the bench?

    Fabianski
    Cresswell - Rudiger - Tsimikas
    Salah - Pulisic - Barnes - Buendia
    Ings - DCL - Antonio

    (Lloris - Benrahma - Tierney - Dunk)

    Cheers!

  13. Steinburg FC
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    My head hurts... just going to go for nailed proven players and save a transfer to get Bruno or Sancho for GW 3-4

    Sanchez. 4.0
    Tsimikas, Trent, Shaw, (White, Ayling)
    Salah, Son, Mahrez, Greenwood, (Bissuma)
    Ings, Antonio, Toney

    Rough plan of Mahrez + Greenwood out gw 3

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Why not just get Bruno now and save a transfer.

    2. Super John McGinn-
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Rather have Bruno from the start

  14. Super John McGinn-
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Which one? I like B more but rather Ings than Watkins, could downgrade Barnes to Benrahma/Raphinia and upgrade a 4.5 to Coufal if it’s the former

    Sanchez, Foster
    TAA, Shaw, White, Ayling, ****
    Salah, Bruno, ****, Barnes, ****
    ****, Antonio, 4.5

    A) Amartey, Jota, Raphinia, Ings
    B) Tsimikas, Son, Gilmour, Watkins

    1. Geraaaard
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Amartey not playing

  15. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Tsimikas is a trap.

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      How can 4.0 player possibly be a trap - it’s nonsense

    2. Tango74
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Some jokers on here have Tsimikas and armartey in there squad , when they get dropped how they going replace.

      Some also have obafemi. Lol

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        I think the plan is to make some money on them then sell when the starters return from injury.

        1. Tango74
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          But if they don’t start or play for one GW, u stuck at 4.0 with no MITB.

          And then u have no subs

          1. Nomar
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Yes, but it’s a calculated gamble as their are clear injuries that allow a path for both of them to start the season.

            Ultimately, if those players lose value and you don’t have them then it’s no skin off your nose, is it!

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Obafemi is a bench fodder.

        One bench fodder is enough. 2 you’re pushing it.

      3. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        It’s called a 3/4/3 lol

        Shaw taa Ayling all nailed as can be, worst case scenario you need 1 move, vast majority will wc before gw 8 anyway

        Expected better from you tango

        1. Tango74
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 8 months ago

          I WC at first IB , as you know I’m rubbish ,

          Playing 3/5/3 this year so much value in midfield

          1. JayKay1
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            Your'e playing 3/5/3? Thought we had to have a GKP, LOL ;o)

          2. Gomolon
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 8 months ago

            353 is an elite combination, wish i could make my team play like that

            1. Tango74
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 8 months ago

      Yeah this article is super weird. 5 screendumps without any text explaining which team belongs to which manager as well.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 8 months ago

        Just a series of RMT’s but in images

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

        NVM I see its explained as wish from the managers. And its randomized so we dont know which is from which. Some seems outdated though. Probably been gathered over some time, then finally they had all 5 today.

  17. Atwood
    • 13 Years

    Thoughts on this chaps?

    Sanchez - Foster
    TAA - Tsimikas - Ayling - Coufal - Amartey
    Salah - Havertz - Bruno - Gundogan - Gilmour
    Toney - Wilson - Antonio

  18. slamdunk

    What's the love with Brownhill, is he capable of goals & assists ?

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Not at all. Gilmour has a higher chance.

    2. Jullepuu

    3. JayKay1

      Slightly higher ceiling than Bussoma?

  22. Water_Pink
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez (foster)

    TAA / Dias/ wan / white ( ayling)

    Salah / Bruno/ ESR (gilmour) (Harrison)

    Ant / Toney / dcl

    Thoughts on my final draft ?!
    White and esr rotate with Harrison and ayling

  23. Fantasynørden
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Sanchez

    TAA - Tsimikas - Shaw

    Antonio - Toney - Ings

    Bench:
    Virgina - Ayling - White - Brownhill

    Thoughts?

  24. Karan14

    Is Omobamidele a starter?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Should be but probably won’t be.

  25. Could Have Ben Mee
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    GTG? Thoughts apprieciated...

    Sanchez
    TAA, Shaw, Tsmiskas, White
    Salah, Pulisic, Buendia, Pulisic
    Ings, Antonio
    (Foster, Raphina, Ayling, Obafemi.

    0.5 itb for maybe Pulisic - Grealish in GW2

  26. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Barnes looked sharpe the other day - nailed to start but will likely make in and around 60mins for at least a month imo

    He’s back from injury, there is a plethora of attacking talent to compete with

    Don’t expect a full 90mins from hime

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      What’s with all the extra e’s

  27. GE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    I’m set on TAA and Salah, but who for the third Liverpool-slot?

    1) Jota
    2) Tsimkas

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. G-Whizz

      2

  28. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Right I think I’ve landed on this … tear it up! No Bruno plan right now. In an emergency would dump Son and Mahrez

    Possible wildcard first IB

    Sanchez
    Trent. Tsim. Shaw. Coufal
    Son. Mahrez. Salah
    Ings. Antonio. Toney

    4.0. Raph. White. Brownhill

    Very template and have chosen son. Mahrez over Bruno. 7.0

  29. Tshelby
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    Too far fetched?

    Sanchez, foster
    Taa, shaw, coufal, ayling, amartey
    Salah, Bruno, Son,benrahma, Brownhill
    Ings, jiminez, obafemi

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      I’m in disbelief

  30. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 8 months ago

    A. Bruno. Stones. Perica. ESR. Gundo

    B. Son. Mahrez. Trent. Toney. Raph + 0.5

    Surely b ?!

    1. RichieW
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 8 months ago

      Probably because because costs an extra 5m!
