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.

      yep - in my team to start with at least... low enough price to take the risk

      Nope.
      Rashford is a transfer waiting to happen.
      It could go the other way of course and he rips it up. But far more likely to go South!
      Rashford is actually a very poor striker and does his best work off the LW spot

        He's good when he has space to run into. But he's awful in tight areas, especially since his injury.

        Don't have confidence in him as a ST.

    Which 4.5 forward is least likely to be loaned out since i don't really fancy wasting a transfer having to get another one after the one i pick gets loaned out.

        Just a case of having the extra cash to add him. All because of my defence choices. Will be useful other weeks but just thinking about Bailey fixture being better.

      Ultimately no one knows.

      But I'm rolling the dice on Foden. I think he'll start, but it's that BOU fixture in GW2 I'm really keen to target. Don't want to book in a transfer.

          He's certainly fit enough
          "He's not like Phil Foden, for example, in two days training session he can play 180 minutes." - Pep

          He'll have a full week of training to be updated on Pep's new tactical ideas. That's plenty in modern football.

          I think he starts. It's a gamble though, obviously.
