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.

    Bit disappointed there was no nibbles of team selection info from Pep. Seems Silva was the main talking point.

    Strong Bench v Weak Bench?

    Are Neto/Bailey/Perisic too ‘good’ to always have one of them on the bench.
    It’ll probably be Neto GW1, Perisic GW2 and maybe Bailey GW3.

    Anyone else going with better than a 4.5 or 4.0 on the bench?

    Kane Jesus (Archer)

    Let's talk about Haaland.

    The Charity Shield was a disaster for him as Alvarez stole the show for City.

    Klopp got it right by not starting Darwin and bringing him on 2nd half.

    Pep may well follow the same route vs West Ham.

    Ward
    TAA Robertson Cancelo Trippier Mings
    Salah KDB Martinelli Bailey
    Kane
    0.5ITB to fund GK if Leicester gets one

    Thoughts please? Improvements on Trippier or Mings within the same price bracket
    Idea is to have 3 premium team with TAA Robertson Cancelo, so sacrificed Jesus

      I'm currently on something very similar, Jesus has been in every draft since day 1 so doesn't feel good dropping him today...it does allow premium defence and 3 premium attackers so I think I'll chance it

        Thanks for the reassurance. Had Jesus but KDB looks more enticing.

      This all started when Haaland was perceived as a doubtful starter for GW1. Don't think its such a great idea anymore

      Personally i'd go Trippier over Digne but he's a good pick as well, apart from that you look set to me.

    Wilson over Jesus in the first 2 game weeks then switch GW3? Thoughts?

    Thinking GW1 > Wilson & Kane GW2 > Wilson & Haaland GW3 > Jesus & Haaland

    Onana and Gueye signings for Everton are super important. First time in a while that club has two competent holding midfielders.
