The top five managers in Fantasy Football Scout’s Hall of Fame have all 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.

They are as follows:

  • Fábio Borges: The Hall of Fame number 1. Has finished in the top 5k in each of the last five seasons and never outside of the top 20,000.
  • Tom Stephenson: Five-time top 5k finisher and 13 consecutive top 40k overall ranks.
  • Finn Sollie: Seven top 10k finishes in the last 11 seasons, including an overall rank of 39th in 2020/21.
  • Morten Tveito: Four straight top 10k overall ranks, three of which have been 1,051st or better.
  • Yavuz Kabuk: Seven successive top 10k finishes and eight in all, featuring two in the top 1,000.

The Hall of Famers have been good enough to share their drafts with us ahead of Gameweek 1 although we’ve respected the wishes of two of them to not have their names attached to a particular team reveal, so have instead anonymised all five.

TEAM REVEALS

    Is it silly to play this front 7 and have Toney on the bench

    Salah/Bruno/Sarr/Benrahma/
    Barnes

    Ings/Antonio.

    (Could downgrade Toney to afford Martinez over Sanchez)

    1. BoomXhakaLaca1
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If you only are planning on upgrading your keeper you may as well keep toney

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Play Toney. If not, drop him to a 4.5 and spend the cash elsewhere.

      1. Fletch69
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Agree, I think Toney is more likely to get points than Benrahma. His PPG last year were frankly awful

  2. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    So stuck, too many options gah!!

    A) Ings + Son + Mbeumo/ESR
    B) Watkins + Mahrez + Barnes

    1. King Kun Ta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      C) Ings + Mahrez + Mbeumo

  3. Teomi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Think I’m finally settled, 0,5 itb for any upcoming issues.

    Gtg or would you use the extra funds somewhere?

    Sanchez
    Taa shaw tsimi
    Salah Bruno gundo Barnes raphina
    Ings antonio

    Foster, ayling amartey obafemi

    1. JoeShmoe
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      template

    2. jayjay2411
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I know he's bench fodder but swap obafemi, looks like he's off to Blackburn

      1. Fletch69
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Scarlett may get the odd 10 minutes here and there, Moronho thought he was great and they're keen on bringing him through

  4. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    anyone know which City attackers are *very* unlikely to start GW1 based on injuries/quotes? KDB, Jesus, Foden, Grealish??

    1. Agger
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I'd go Jesus

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      KDB and Jesus

    3. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Foden definitely out

    4. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      cheers!

  5. King Kun Ta
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Barnes or Gündogan the best way to go? Ta!

    1. King Kun Ta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      On Gündogan atm because of the absence of KBD

    2. King Kun Ta
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Or maybe greenwood?

  6. Robman
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Hey guys. Quick poll please:
    A) White and Willock (if going to Newcastle)
    Or
    B) Dunk and Smith-Rowe?

  7. Agger
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Jacob Murphy 5.0m MID

    Most minutes for Newcastle in pre-season, played RWB, LW, RW

    0.1% ownership

    Good shout or not?

    1. jayjay2411
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not bad shout, Hojberg & Tella look okay 5m options too

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Playing RB under boring Bruce. I’d avoid probably

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Gets forward and crosses well from RWB. Also decent at free kicks.

      If he was classed as a defender, he'd be in my team.

  8. Deulofail
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How do you feel about this?

    Bachmann
    Trent Tsmikas Shaw Tierney
    Mahrez Torres Jota ESR
    Ings Antonio

    Foster | Grealish, Kane, Ayling

    I could do Grealish + Mahrez > Gundo + Son

    1. BoomXhakaLaca1
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Just a waste of money in the bench tbh

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        City rotation expected + Covid. Think it could pay off

        1. BoomXhakaLaca1
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I'd say out of all those players in your midfield the most certain to start is ESR. But the risk may come off for you

          1. Deulofail
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            I agree. Cheers 🙂

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      pretty good

  9. Fletch69
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Got £12.5m for 2 playing mids, which of these please?

    A). Barnes + ESR
    B). Raphinha + Benrahma
    C). Any other suggestions?

    1. jayjay2411
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Raphinia & Fornals

      I think fornals is flying under the radar & has decent goal threat

      1. Fletch69
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Great shout, nice and different, cheers

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B

  10. Bob McMayday
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I must be missing something. What is the reason that 4 of these teams have Sanchez in goal but Foster on the bench?

    1. Agger
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez has best fixtures for clean sheet and Foster potential starter for 4m

      1. Bob McMayday
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Ah so people thinking he may end up being a regular starter. Thanks

        1. Agger
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          He played 0.6% more minutes than Bachmann in pre-season and said on his YouTube video yesterday that he has no idea if he's gonna start so most likely a coin toss

    2. Corona is not good 4 U
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      People say that Foster will not play. Bachmann should play for Watford.

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        He wasn't good at Palace last weekend

  11. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is this template enough?

    Sánchez (Foster)
    Alexander-Arnold, Shaw, Tsimikas (White) (Amartey)
    Salah (C), Fernandes, Greenwood, Barnes (Brownhill)
    Ings, Antonio, Toney

    0.5 in the bank for emergencies or the first transfers.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Nailed it.

      Jota for Barnes or even Greenwood for 10/10.

    2. Killitzer
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Congratulations.. we have the same team except I have Gilmour.

      Mind you I am debating Tsim + Greenwood ➡️ Ayling + Jota

    3. Corona is not good 4 U
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Thank you both!

  12. jayjay2411
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Which duo would you guys go for?

    Tsmikas & Son
    Trent & Alli

    Both I think have merits but torn between the two

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      T and S

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Lukaku 11.5, go or not?

    1. Agger
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      It's why I have Vardy, switch to Lukaku is easy

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Smart move especially with Wolves & Norwich in 1st 3.

    2. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    3. merin
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Not yet. I will maybe wait until GW7 because of the fixtures

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, but not at the start

    5. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Wait n see - needs the fixtures

  14. merin
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    OGS said Sancho likely wont be involved vs Leeds, Cavani has been given extended vacation and Rashford injured. Surely Greenwood and Martial starts!

    Just swapped Jota for Greenwood. Hoping Barnes will continue to miss his shots :p

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Do you have a qute link?

      1. Crunchie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        quote

        1. merin
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          It's in norwegian, but here: https://www.tv2.no/sport/14159921/

        2. merin
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          the quote regarding Sancho is:
          "- Now he has had a holiday after the Euros and then he's been a little sick, unfortunately. He's had one and a half training sessions with us, so he has not trained much" and "- It takes some time before he gets in shape, but throughout the season he will be very important to us."

  15. JoeShmoe
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Why are more folks not on DCL, slight knock but hell play and the Saints defense is dog crap

    1. Agger
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Only because of the yellow flag

      1. Fletch69
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        And Everton missing some attacking threat with no Siggy (having a mare), Richarlison (having a rest) and probably James (having a tantrum)

    2. JoeShmoe
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      more points for me then 🙂

    3. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      They want Lukaku

    4. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A lot of articles were written at the time about DCL's rapid improvement being in part down to Ancelotti coaching him as his new Inzaghi so it's wait and see for me with him under Benitez.

  16. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    11.5M to now think about soon after this GW is over.

    1. el polako
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Kind of expected him to be in 11 - 11.5 mark.
      Fair price.

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Wildcard is on the cards for me very soon anyways. Lukaku will be in my team over Bruno for sure.

  17. Twisted Melon
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    A) Grealish, Benrahma, Kane
    B) Bruno, Raphinha, Ings

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B every time

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B

  18. Jimjam
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    (A) Son in a 3-4-3 (with White/Ayling/Tsimikas rotating for 2x defender spots)

    (B) Barnes & Greenwood in a 3-5-2

    1. Jimjam
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      *** (A) should have read 4-4-2 rather than 3-4-3

  19. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Bachmann
    Shaw Bertrand Tsimikas
    Mane Son Grealish Gundogan Jota
    Vardy Bamford

    (Foster Veltman Ayling 4.5

    Few differentials in the team. Just made one for fun, but I like the look of it..
    What do you think?

  20. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Pick two:

    Greenwood, Barnes and Jota.

    Thank you!

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Greenwood and Jota

  21. brianutd-why always we? 20
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Any punts for Vardy? fixtures not to bad

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Like buses these Vardy questions

      Think he’s on the edge of a serious decline

      1. JoeShmoe
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        heard it so many times, lad is as fit as a fiddle

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Wasn’t so great second half of last season but maybe he was short on red bull

        2. james 101
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I’m not disparaging fiddles or any other string instruments.

          They have a place in any orchestra.

          Or their more sophisticated cousins do anyway.

          Are fiddles really fit though?

      2. R123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Dejavu from last season, and the one before. I think shifting Salah / Bruno to get a premium forward will be a tough call. Shipping Vardy if he doesn't start well with good fixtures not so much. No need to if he gets on it with first 3 playing high lines?

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          But with every season time has passed and legs have aged

  22. R123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone think Vardy is being overlooked?
    Looked sharp at the weekend and should have scored, first choice for Rodgers, starts the season well, and a premium placeholder for Lukaku / Kane?

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      lol see above - I agree

    2. JoeShmoe
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      yep. but sshhhh

  23. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Greenwood or Mount?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Greenwood (just as Rashford, Canvani not in UK yet (not sure about Martial, and Sancho GW1), but he will be good for 3 GW's i think)

    Does membership auto renew now? Decided to take the plunge this year but usually don’t do it every year

  25. JoeShmoe
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Non template team, going heavy up front

    Schimechel / Steele
    Tsimikas / Cresswell / Shaw / Amartey / White
    Son / Salah / Gundo / Raph / Brownhill
    DCL / Ings / Vardy

    C on DCL

    1. brianutd-why always we? 20

      brave capt choice

  26. WHUFCSmith23

    11.5 feels a lot.

    1. Carlton P

      Zzzz

    2. james 101
      • 13 Years

      That’s what she said?

  27. Blanka
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Any Ferran Torres love? Not seen anything on him anywhere. Quite fancy a punt on him myself, especially with Norwich at home week 2 and him likely up top. 7m bargain!

  28. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What are people thinking about the Harvey Barnes comments? Sounds like he’s not ready to me

  29. Rupert The Horse

    As I’ve guessed all the prices correctly, do I get a prize?

    1. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If you guessed Firmino's price right then I would like to snatch every prize that you have ever got

    2. james 101

      A shiny new saddle?

    3. james 101
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A polo?

  30. OverTinker
    • 7 Years

    select one of these
    1. Cancelo
    2. Digne
    3. Dias
    4. Cresswell

    thanks

    1. OverTinker
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      considering the starting fixtures as well
