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

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.

    1. Boz

      A bit different. I'd play Neto over Dalot

      1. amtosh
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Thanks good point

        Seems like attackers are underpriced this year. Rash for 6.5?

    2. We Go Again
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I think downgrade one of Neto/Bailey and use the cash to upgrade Dalot to someone like Trippier or the GK

      1. amtosh
        • 12 Years

        Thanks, will look into it

  6. We Go Again
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Would you do Ramsdale -> Ward/Iverson combo if it meant Trippier -> Robbo?

    1. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I did a similar move to allow for Trips to James.

      I'd go for it

    2. Boz
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Yeah

    3. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes

  7. Boz

    Big at the back

    Rams
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Dias James
    Salah Mart Bailey
    Jesus Kane

    Fodder bench, 0.5itb

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Too much sacrifice in midfield

      1. C_G
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        +1

      2. Boz
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        The jump from Mart/Bailey to 8.0mids is just too big

    2. Riders of Yohan
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Personally Dias isn’t worth the 1m more than Walker

      1. Boz
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        More nailed and if argue more attacking threat from set pieces

    3. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      As above

    4. gooner_112233445566
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      this is my current exact team apart from i have haaland instead of kane. not sure whether to get kdb instead

  8. FPL Emu
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Is it correct that it takes 10% sales of a player (or purchases) for a price change to occur, no matter what the initial number was?

    Say for Jesus, with a 75% ownership, would it have to go to either 68% or 82% to change?

    1. liner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      No, no one really know how that all work for sure.

    2. rainy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      It isn’t strictly linear: ownership, number of active players, and impromptu rounds of Numberwang at FPL Towers all factor in. The algos are not static. But yes, broadly speaking, about 10% 😉

  9. C_G
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    pick one:

    A) Dalot & Ramsdale

    B) Tripps & Sanchez/Ward rotation

    1. Snooze ya lose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      B

    2. Boz
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      B, but if you are going that route just get Ward and Iverson

  15. Catsandhats

    Not much love for walker over the likes of perisic, Tripp, cash etc, seems like a steal at 5.0, are his minutes a question?

    1. Boz
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      They were last season. This season should be more nailed. City need another full back though

    2. MamboNumberOne
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Until City sign another full back he should be fine but if/when they do he'll be rotated.

    3. abaalan
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Originally had him in but his goals and assist potential are poor considering the team he is in and playing full back...but for 5m in best Def in league he should be good for cleanies regardless.
      I've gone trippier as bit more exciting

        • 4 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        The more I look at it, the more it becomes clear that going Jesus, Kane and Haaland up top either leads to multiple hits trying to fix a budget midfield or a GW1 WC.

        1. BrockLanders
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Yeah, not for me tbf

        2. TheBiffas
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Not really because you just gotta stick with the structure and rotate the cheapies

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 4 Years

            The cheapies will not always start.
