Hall of Fame number one Fábio Borges joins Fantasy Football Scout for 2020/21

We at Fantasy Football Scout are delighted to announce that we’ve added yet another high-profile name to our all-star cast of contributors for the 2020/21 season.

And Fantasy Premier League managers don’t come much more illustrious than Fábio Borges, who currently sits atop our Career Hall of Fame.

You’ll need a pretty impressive season history to claim first place in those rankings and Fábio boasts an incredible track record of five successive finishes in the top 5,000 of FPL.

Two of those have been inside the top 1k, with his best-ever overall rank of 95th recorded in 2018/19.

Fábio has never finished outside the top 20,000 in six seasons of playing the game and, just to underscore his prowess, he was also the winner of Ragabolly’s inaugural Virtual FPL competition over the summer.


The Lisbon resident will be involved with Fantasy Football Scout in a Pro Pundit capacity and will be writing articles throughout the season.

Fábio follows site founder Mark Sutherns in joining our star-studded team of contributors, which includes some of the best FPL managers in the world.

The likes of Lateriser, Zophar and Tom Freeman, who have multiple top 1k finishes between them, have come aboard for another year and we are thrilled that they will be writing for us once again in 2020/21.

While there will be our usual offering of free content from these elite names, only Premium Members of Fantasy Football Scout will get unrestricted access to all of their analysis and team reveals.

Full-year subscriptions are available for the pre-season price of £17.50 until August 31, while rolling monthly Memberships can be purchased for £2.99.

    Is Reece James a good differential? Chelsea will buy to improve at the back but I think he's nailed right?

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He isn't.
      Azpi should be starting RB with a new lb possibly Signed up by them

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Chillwell at LB done and dusted.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Feck them !

      I’m a chelsea fan and yeah he’s nailed imo. He really improved after the restart, and created a lot of chances. Azpi still injured, so Reece will be getting a lot of minutes. With the new attack, I expect his assists to go up

        4 years, 1 month ago

        my thinking too. Alternatives could be Vinagre @ 4.5 but already have Doherty

        Any other 5.0 options?

        1. Z
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Dier mby...Spurs have great fixtures

          1. The Wanton Trader
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I think Dier could be a great pick.
            He will certainly pop up with a few goals this season, going up for corners.
            Just got to keep your fingers crossed he can stay fit and nail that place down...

        2. Dynamic Duos
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Davies

          1. Z
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Rotation risk with Sess

            1. Flair
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Not in the slightest.

        3. Soto Ayam

          Saiss

      2. Z
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Dude....he is not nailed at all........

      3. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        But not his clean sheets without 2 new centre halves .

    3. End of King Wilson
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lampard has always looked to blood youth into the team and it's a good shout but the Liverpool gw2 is a stumble. I like the pick though, he has a great cross in him

    4. SweepaKeepa
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Despite this thread, I still want Alonso. What is wrong with me?

  2. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any place to watch the spurs game? Want to do an eye test on son

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Let me know how he’s looking

    2. Z
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It is SON what can you see and learn about him that you alrdy dodnt know?

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        To me he’s a bit like Kane, looks super confident and like he’ll score every time he picks up the ball ...... or he looks cack

        1. Z
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          You cant learn nothing new in preseason

          1. Tony Moon
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Double negative intended?

    3. End of King Wilson
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wonder if he will play as a second striker or as a winger

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Looks like few wanted to be the Gary Neville ...

        Taa James AWB
        Some RB's !

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Reply fail this is to james comment

        2. Captain Fozzy
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Not really... Taa wants to play in midfield and Wan Bissaka was a failed striker...

          As Carragher said... No one wants to be the next Gary Neville

    4. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not going to learn much from what will probably be 45 mins versus Ipswich

  3. Ser Davos
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Golden Gordon

    1. FOO FIGHTER
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yeah, could be the 4.5 mid to have this season.

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Are Everton playing? Gordons been in all my drafts

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        yeah, he's playing - but no Rich so not exactly helpful

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Demba Ba posted a lineup so must be a preseason friendly.

      3. have you seen cyan
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        oh yea I see @ 1500 vs Blackpool, Spurs vs Ipswich Town also @ 1500 and Pool vs Stuttgart at 1700

    3. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Had no idea who Gordon was who was in everyone's draft's is he a better fodder shout than Stephens then?

    4. The Wanton Trader
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He has to be referred to as Flash, surely... 🙂

    5. Third Eye Vision
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He’s a decent prospect, but will be sharing minutes with the likes of Bernard, Siggy, Walcott & Iwobi for now. He made 11 PL appearances for a total of 436 minutes last season. Only 1 assist so far.

  4. have you seen cyan
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I wonder how much Maguire had to bribe officials to get released.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He probably shoved a policeman and resisted arrest, hardly crime of the century

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Sister got stabbed in arm & it kicked off

  5. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    When it comes to fpl how much do you actually read into pre season?

    Let’s say Kane looks sharp and scores a few against Ipswich, does that hold any weight on your decision making ?

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      only look into it for likely lineups, don't really care who scores - would rather the players I'm looking at keep quiet

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      pre-season doesnt count for much imo, for example you would get people like Deulofeu playing as false 9, or Barkley CAM, then season kicks off and lol

    3. SweepaKeepa
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Last season it stopped me buying Everton players.

      1. Flair
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Convinced people to buy Ross Barkley though.

      2. SweepaKeepa
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Deja vous right now!

    4. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kane not playing against Ipswich

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Was just an example. He’s doing some sprints in his back yard

  6. SAY MY NAME

    daft question time, need some help please!

    i set up a mini-league last season, and have renewed, but also inviting new people - how do i find the league code to allow people to enter?

    thanks in advance 🙂

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 5 Years

      not sure, try the settings button next to it?

      1. SAY MY NAME
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        ah, found it, it's listed in the invite people to join button, who'd have thought it 🙂

    Kane on vacation?

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Quarantine

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 8 Years

      Quarantine

      1. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        LOL

    3. SAY MY NAME
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      quarantine 14 days, due to holiday destination

    4. Now I'm Panicking
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Busy staring at an orange juice carton that says "concentrate"

  8. FOO FIGHTER
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    This is how my current defence is looking

    Lloris
    TAA VVD Doherty KWP Ferguson

    Means I will be playing 4 at the back most of the time. Solid source for regular points 🙂

    1. Zilla
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Rest of the team?

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        All dependant on Havertz joining but includes Werner, Salah and Auba.

        1. Zilla
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Fair, if you nail cheap picks it could be a very solid team.

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Here is mine

      McCarthy Nyland
      Taa Doherty VVD Shaw Ferguson

      1. Ser Davos
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Like it Amey, I think I'll do Egan if a 5er comes in, despite doubts over Ramsdale

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Only 2 sub 6.5 spots in attack now. I'm at peace 😛

      2. g40steve
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        What’s the front half like?

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Salah Auba Ziyech Armstrong Soucek
          Werner Mitro 4.5

          Ziyech will be Pulisc if fit. Werner to Martial planned transfer.

          Let's see how it goes

          1. g40steve
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Decent set up

      3. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Looks good. Shaw going to be nailed?

        I think Willams will have something to say to Shaw this coming season.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Nope
          Shaw is nailed. Way better attacking wise as he's a left footed player

      4. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Snap if Shaw fit.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yup
          🙂

    3. Ser Davos
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cheap keeper and Vinagre over KWP, otherwise the same

      We just need to stick to it and be patient

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Lloris set forget. If Nyland is nailed then 2nd keeper sorted.

        1. SAUCY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Does the fact that Spurs kept 7 clean sheets all season not put you off?
          Plus he’ll miss out on the many save points 4.5 keepers at weaker teams will get

          1. FOO FIGHTER
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Lloris was injured and had the best ppg out of any GK this past season.

            1. SAUCY SALAH
              • 7 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Fair

    4. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Or regular blanks depending on cleanies. I am defense heavy alsobut struggling to force through a decent threat up front with all my remainders. I dont feel it but no one knows in this game

      1. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Doherty will outscore any 5.5 to 7.0 midfielder including any 6.5 forward.

        1. nico05
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Very true

  9. Werner Bremen
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A Werner and Son
    B Vardy and Ziyech

    1. Z
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I have B

      1. Z
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        But i have Son too hahah

      2. Kun Tozser
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Any love for Dubravka as set and forget? Fixtures look decent

        1. Kun Tozser
          • 9 Years

    2. nico05

      B is better I think

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

  10. Team Bobcat
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Open to criticism and plenty of it!!

    McCarthy
    Taa Doherty Robertson
    Auba Barnes Son Armstrong
    Adams Mitrovic Maupay

    Angland, Wan Basaka, Greenwood, Brathwaite

    2m itb. Thinking Son to Rashford GW2 and possibly Pope GW3.

    Thinkinh too far ahead??

    1. Z
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good luck....what else can i say.....

      1. Team Bobcat
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Exactly

      2. Baps hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That is definitely needed. If Liverpool concedes and forwards don't deliver, which can easily happen, it means OR around 4 million.

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Looks good but very top end light for my liking. TAA & Robertson both great options but maybe downgrade Robertson and upgrade your attack?

    3. Team Bobcat
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I see a slight problem with it now alright..

      I am benching the bones of 3m from that team not to mention whats left itb on a weekly basis.

      That money needs to be spent more wisely.

    4. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Unbalanced and forward line is cack.

    5. OverTinker
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Son to walcott and Auba to ozil
      Then do the complete Reset.

  11. Ser Davos
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Gordon and Ferguson/Mitchell rotation could be helpful

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Will Ferguson get game time?

      1. Ser Davos
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Tad grey, long term yes. Mitchell may start

        1. nico05

    How many players missing GW 1 do we think is sensible to have in our squads? Id potentially have 5 if not for the blank and really don't best know how to play it

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1, 2 at a big stretch id imagine assuming that nearly all the good assets not playing our 6m +

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you I've cut my draft down to 3 but that still feels way too much and you've confirmed it

  13. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Could Saliba start on GW1 and be nailed? Mustafi, Mari and Chambers are injured. That leaves Sokratis and Holding to compete...if DLuiz is nailed.

    1. amitmishr
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If Luiz is nailed, what's the point of saliba? Clean sheet is gone and I would rather take the attacking option somewhere else

    2. The Wanton Trader
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Community shield will reveal all mate...

  14. Dynamic Duos
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Attacking defence?

    TAA Aurier Chillwell Vinagre

    1. amitmishr
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Missing a Doherty. Vinagre has zero attacking potential

      1. HollywoodXI
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Have you seen Vinagre’s underlying stats? When he played last season he was very attacking down that flank.

      2. Tony Moon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        his stats are almost on a par with Doherty, if you look them up.

    2. FOO FIGHTER

      Aurier is being linked with a move. He is not even on the bench today for Spurs.

    Has anyone been able to create decent team with both ASM and Armstrong in it (with plan to replace other with MU asset for gw2)?

    1. SAUCY SALAH
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I have Armstrong and Soucek

    2. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not sure if you consider this decent:
      McCarthy/Nyland
      Robbo/TAA/KWP/Vinagre/Ferguson
      Auba/Salah/Son/ASM/Armstrong
      Jimi/Mitro/Davis

      1. ClassiX
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Oh, and 1.0 ITB - plan is to do Auba>KDB, and then Son>Bruno

      2. SAUCY SALAH
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Same as you except:

        Robbo to VVD
        ASM to Soucek
        Jimi to Kane
        Mitro to 4.5

        1. SAUCY SALAH
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          With 1.5ITB for Son to Bruno in GW2

        2. ClassiX
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          WHU have terrible games in the first 7, hence no Soucek for me.
          Jimi to Kane and Mitro to 4.5 leaves only 1 playing forward?

          1. SAUCY SALAH
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Correct, 4-5-1

        3. George Sillett
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          So completely different then.

          1. SAUCY SALAH
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            The first 2 are very similar price points and potential

            1. George Sillett
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              So 2 similarities then despite a totally different tram set up . LOL.

        Pretty nice 🙂 I might downgrade Robbo and upgrade Jimenez (due to first fixtures).

        1. ClassiX
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years

          I was considering Ings as well for the first few. Robbo to Doherty allows Jimi/Ings to Werner.

        Yeah there is a good Tifo video on YouTube that explains Burnley’s low block defensive approach that ends up being a Fantasy goldmine with their keepers

      Chelsea really have a problem, don't they...

      1. Ginkapo FPL
        • 13 Years

        Rui Patricio isnt much better and he was in a strong defence. The type of shots going through makes a big difference

    3. Ginkapo FPL
      • 13 Years

      Arsenals defence is so poor

      1. Ser Davos

        Dismal prior to Arteta. Now the jury's out

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • 8 Years

      Any chance Martinez remains as Arsenal first choice?

        1. Ginkapo FPL

          Leno is third

      When you think about it, assuming you go 4.5 + 4.0 = 8.5 for effectively one player who will get around 150pts is actually a poor return. Feels like GK's don't get enough points for their role in the game.

            Yeh I thought he looked decent at Shalke too.
            I think he should be at least given a chance to compete for the spot.

    Which combo?
    A) Doherty,Bisouma(Benched)Werner
    B) Ferguson,Greenwood(Benched)Ings

    A and B both have Fernandes already on the bench.
    A will probably get more points in GW1 but B has 2 United players from GW2 without making any transfers.

        That’s the main issue. I’m tempted to be super ballsy/stupid and go 4-5-1 with 2 x4.5 strikers. To get all the big gyms in midfield

        Son>Bruno for GW2 is not a hard decision even if Son tears up GW1, Bruno has Palace @ home. It could be an absolute slaughter and Bruno is certainly captain material that week.
        Meanwhile Son has a more difficult fixture away at St Marys
