Two of the top three managers in Fantasy Football Scout’s Hall of Fame have 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.

The Hall of Famers have been good enough to share their drafts with us ahead of Gameweek 1 although we’ve ‘anonymised’ their teams as per their wishes – perhaps you don’t get to where they are in the Hall of Fame without keeping some things close to your chest!

TEAM REVEALS

WHO ARE THE TOP MANAGERS IN OUR HALL OF FAME?

  • Fábio Borges: The Hall of Fame number 1. Has finished in the top 5k in each of the last seven seasons and never outside of the top 20,000.
  • Finn Sollie: Eight top 10k finishes in the last 12 seasons, including three inside the top 500 in the last six years.
  • John Canning: Two successive top 200 finishes, following on from another in 2011/12.

      My three are Sancho, Martinelli and Bailey with 0.5 ITB, undecided whether to upgrade one of those, or my 4.5 def, or just keep the 0.5 handy

    My final dillema is

    A, Martinelli & Neto

    or

    B, Bailey & Rashford

    My thoughts are Palace away will be tough for Arsenal and do i really want to start with double arsenal attack, so leaning towards B allthough i expect most to reply A

    Hello
    Between these 2 teams

    A)
    Ward
    James TAA Cancelo perisic
    Salah rashford Bailey Diaz
    Haaland Jesus
    Subs Sanchez neck Andreas greenwood

    B)
    Ward
    James TAA Robbo dias
    Salah rashford Bailey mahrez
    Kane Jesus

    Much prefer A but worried about lack of spurs attack especially since perisic not nailed.
    Also think it’s better to have Robbo than Diaz

    As a long suffering preston fan it's nice to cram 2 preston players from last season into my team in Iverson and Archer

      Martinelli at 6 is a gift. The question is, more of a gift than Rashford at 6.5?

        I know - thats my worry. Could do Rashford to Martinelli and use the 0.5 on Saliba to Trippier/Upgrade a keeper

      You're asking a lot of that midfield if the clean sheets get dirty mate. I'd be watching every game in pure fear
