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.

    Hope we all win our ML.
    Trust our own research !

    Come on Spurs fans...... who's more likely to start

    A. Perisic
    B. Doherty

    This is my final decision. Ta

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

      interested on this one

    2. Evil Greg
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Romero and Dier

    3. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Spurs in training today: players in bibs usually are team that starts the game:
      Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sess; Kulu, Kane, Son

      1. Junks
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Interesting.... I'm thinking maybe best avoiding both until we have more of an insight.

        Interesting. Thanks

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

      none for now

    5. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      My prediction is neither starts gw1 but Perisic is more likely to be nailed later on than Doherty

  3. R.C
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    What a deal for Brighton!

    63m (with addons) + Colwill for free on loan for Cucurella

  4. prowler81
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Perisic will he be a starter for GW1?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      no

    2. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      50/50, my guess is he will start

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        wrong

    3. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      no

  5. Londongeezaa

    Anyone else have no Spurs? 😐

    1. Jock Grealish

      plenty. think it's a mistake

  6. Tsparkes10

    Saka or Mount?

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

      saka

    2. AnyoneButLiverpool
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      saka

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

    Martinelli likely to be in my GW1 team but I cant say Im as much as a fan as everyone seems to be. I had him in my team last season and he got 1 assist in about 5 weeks. Always looks glued to the touchline and not enough involvement in the penalty area.

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

      Best sub 6m option though. Need to find value somewhere

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

        Aaronson ?

      2. gooberman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        It a straight choice between him and Perisic for me at the moment.

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

    First 6 GWs RMT has:

    Ramsdale - 24.62 points
    Sanchez + Ward rotation - 21.90 pts
    Ward + Iversen 8.0m - 20.90 pts

    Been on all 3, currently on Sanchez and Ward. Tempted to do Ward and Iversen, having seen the above numbers, and bank the 0.5m. Thoughts?

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

      I'm taking W/I. The 1m is useful

      1. jackruet
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        W/i has any risk?

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

          Risk of them signing a new keeper but apparently that is unlikely

    best 5 mil defender

      C

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

    A) James Saka Bailey
    B) Perisic Martinelli Kulu

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

      I've gone B, possibly doing Kulu > Saka for GW3

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

        I have 0.5 itb for Bowen too

  11. C_G

    gtg?

    Ramsdale

    TAA James Walker Saliba

    Salah KDB Bailey Neto

    Kane Jesus

    Ward Neco Andreas Greenwood

    1. shakeyjake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I've had similar draft. I like Saliba but just worry whether he keeps the spot after first few weeks, same on walker. I'd be tempted to drop to Sanchez or even Iversen for keeper and use the money to upgrade defence. you could even do James > Robbo

  12. jackruet
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Best mid within 6. 5 ( no neto, martinelli, Bailey)

    1. FOO FIGHTER

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Rashford or Alvarez

    3. Reckoner.
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Probably Rashford but don't love it.

      No but Solanke at 6.0 isn’t bad

      1. Jock Grealish
        • 2 Years

        horrible fixtures lol.

        🙂

  14. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Would you say this is G2G? Other option is going for a 5/5.5m goalkeeper and downgrading Robbo to someone like Cash?

    Ward
    Taa - Robbo - James - Cancelo
    Salah (c) - Mount - Bailey - Martinelli
    Kane - Jesus

    Iverson - Andreas - Greenwood - Nico

  15. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Just checked my career hall of fame, 385, is that any good?!
    Is it just for those registered on this site, or how does it work?

  16. Roy Rovers
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Neto & Bailey will both fail….just saying.

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

      Bold call - I mean they are 5.0 and 5.5, how much does anyone really expect from them?

      I dont think either will fail, but will perform decent for their prices.

    2. jackruet
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Same thinking here

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

      Agreed

    4. Visionaries
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Think Neto will get a few returns, as they have prolonged good fixtures. Can see Bailey being one that people jump off of to Andreas though

      1. Roy Rovers
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        They play Spurs, Liverpool, City an Chelsea in first 10!!!

        1. Visionaries
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Ok not that long term, but 5 of their first 6 are nice

    5. Roy Rovers
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Neto in a bad team missing Jimmy and Bailey not consistent and injury prone.

      Most teams on here have at least 1 of them ….some both which is just wrong in my opinion.

      1. The Reptile
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Who are the alternatives?

        1. Roy Rovers
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          That’s where you need to have a look at your overall team….this is mine.

          Ward
          TAA Robbo Cancelo Dalot
          Salah Mount Rashford Martinelli
          Kane Jesus

          Iversen Archer N Williams Andreas

  17. Salah_Fingers
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    A or B

    A - Trippier - Saka
    B - James - Martinelli

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

      A

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years

      Looks good

    3. 007 [RoboKlopp]

      B

    4. Jackson99

      A

    5. Boz

      1 year, 8 months ago

      B

    6. Visionaries
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      A for sure

    7. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      A

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

      Very split, might flip a coin

  18. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    A. Stick with Haaland
    B. Stick with Kane
    C. Start with Kane and move to Haaland gw2

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

      I'm going to flip a coin just before deadline otherwise I'll be swapping them round all day

    2. jason_ni
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Assume FT is worth 4 points, not sure its worth it unless you want to capt harry in GW1.

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

        what do you mean FT is worth 4 points?

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

          Any transfer outside of a free one is 4 points.

          So in an ideal world sure, plan to use a FT to move Kane to Haaland for GW2. But what if a player gets injured, dropped and you need to move someone on.

          Im just not a fan of starting the GW1 or post WC with "planned" free moves. Alot can change

    3. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Make space for both

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

      A

    5. Arn De Gothia
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Start Kane, decide after GW1

    6. Dosh
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      A makes sense so that you can use the FT on a fomo transfer

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

      A

    8. _Ninja_
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Cheers all. Leaning towards A

  19. N00B
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Anyone with a rotation between Perisic, Neto and Bailey?
    gw1: bench Neto
    gw2: bench Perisic
    gw3: we will see because we will more information

  20. The Wayfarer
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Best of luck, all. My starting 11 for GW1 are all playing away from home. That surely bodes well (!)

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      so all home next week. sorted

    2. Snooze ya lose

    2. FOO FIGHTER

      I am going 343

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

      Currently I have it. So many good price options in defence.

  22. Snooze ya lose
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    My big miss last season was son. People avoiding just cos of price tag this year?

    1. Jackson99
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Think he's worth it over Kane

    2. AC Yew
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I've gone Son > Kane. So no premium forwards for me. Think its worth it.

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

      My sentiments exactly

  23. Jackson99
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Thoughts?

    Ward
    Robbo Cancelo Tripp Saliba
    Son Salah Martinelli Bailey
    Haaland Jesus

    Thanks!

    1. DRIZ ✅

    2. Dosh
      • 10 Years

      Nice team doing something similar. Mainly Neto instead of Martinelli and TAA instead of Cancelo

  24. Sam (Team Sam)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Finally done:

    Ward (Sanchez)

    TAA, Cancelo, James, Trippier, (Neco)

    Salah, Diaz, Rashford, Martinelli, (Andreas)

    Haaland, Jesus, (Greenwood)

  25. Stranger Mings

    Looks like Perisic & Doherty in training yesterday

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Spurs in training today: players in bibs usually are team that starts the game...
      Lloris; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Sess; Kulu, Kane, Son

      1. DRIZ ✅
        • 12 Years

  26. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Perisic to be top GW1 point scorer

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      nope.

  27. R.C

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

  30. AC Yew
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Guys is Solanke a decent pick? Got Jesus already. Going Solanke over Wilson allows me to reach to an 8.0m mid instead of

      bou are cack so no
