Over the last couple of days, we’ve updated the Career Hall of Fame with the final standings from the 2013/14 season. The Hall of Fame is a ranking system which we apply to everyone who took part in our Fantasy Premier League (FPL) mini-leagues – both the free and the members league. Basically, this tracks the performances of every manager over each of the seasons they have participated and awards a “HoF rating” accordingly – it’s viewable to all via this link or the top menu “HoF” link.
If you’re wondering what the Hall of Fame is all about, you can read below for a quick guide. Alternatively, you can view this movie to listen to Mark and Rate My Team’s Chris Atkinson talk you through it.
Career Hall of Fame Top 10
Ville Ronke moves to the very top of the Hall of Fame after yet another successful season. In terms of points hits, he clearly advocated a cautious approach in 2013/14 and spent points in only four of the 38 Gameweeks on his way to a 90th place finish, with 2,534 points accrued. Last year was Ville’s sixth season of playing FPL and to date, he’s yet to end the season outside the top 5,000, with top 1K finishes also in 2009/10 and 2010/11.
In second spot, Rasmus Sandman earned 26th position in the overall FPL standings after producing 2,571 points in 2013/14. His approach is somewhat different from Ville’s when it comes to transfers – he made 47 trades, spending 48 points, and climbed as high as sixth in Gameweek 35. This was only his third FPL season – the first two saw him finish in 241st and 950th spots, a remarkable run of Fantasy Football consistency.
Our very own Evs takes third position. Having finished as high as fifth last season, our site moderator managed 8,717th this time around after serving up 2,405 points– he’s now ended four of the previous five campaigns inside the top 10,000.
Up to fourth is Julian Hancock, who managed an overall rank of 2,730 in 2013/14 after producing 2,444 points. This is now the fifth time in six seasons he has ended inside the top 5,000 FPL managers – he has top two 100 finishes to his name already, taking 96th and 19th positions back in 2008/09 and 2009/10 respectively.
Kenneth Tang completes our top five. He captured 384th position in the overall standings – this is the fifth time he has gate-crashed the top 1,000 in eight years of playing FPL. Elsewhere in our top 10, Ulrik Nyland drops down after finishing around the 27k-mark last season. He previously had registered seven successive top 10,000 seasons but having spent 112 points in hits, turned in his lowest placing to date.
Aatish Jain ended the year in 5,388 position, having finished inside the top 500 in each of his first two seasons (30th and 481st). Derek Simpson failed to replicate his 38th place finish in 2012/13 and could only manage 55,272 spot – the first time in seven years he has been outside the top 8,000.
Chris Denbeigh is also worthy of a mention. Coming in 1,612th overall, he has now finished inside the top 2,500 FPL rankings in seven of the last eight seasons, whilst David Meechan takes tenth in our refresh after a 2,650th place finish – he’s also ended in 103rd and 521st spot in the last four years.
We must also single out Ah Wai, who is this year’s highest rank newcomer. He sits in 1,289 position in the Hall of Fame after ending his debut FPL season in 100th spot overall. He took points hits in 17 of the 38 rounds of matches and in a very impressive start to his Fantasy career, sat inside the top 1,000 managers from Gameweek 14 onwards.
Elsewhere, current FPL title holder, Tom Fenley, soared to 1334 position after his triumphant season. Luke Weston – long-time FPL leader and ScoutCast guest – now sits in 885th spot after finishing 8th in the overall rankings.
Chris McGurn remains the top FPL winner; he suffered his worst ever campaign last term, finishing outside the top 100k for the first time in six years. He’s previously shown incredible consistency, having never failed finish outside the top 7500 FPL managers in five seasons. Last season’s FPL winner, Matthew Martyniak fared better. He now sits in 82nd position in the Hall of Fame having followed up his winning campaign with a finish in 995th spot last season – impressive stuff.
While Evs leads the way in terms of site contributors, Jonty climbs to 60th spot after his first top 1000 finish, with Mark’s damaging season seeing him slip from the Hallf of Fame top ten, right down to 87th place. He’ll need an impressive campaign to claw that back next time around.
Hall of Fame FAQ
How is my rating calculated?
The “HoF Rating” is based on your points scores from previous FPL seasons, with the latest season weighted the heaviest and each corresponding season weighted at roughly 80% that of the previous season. So, in other words, those who performed best in 2013/14 will receive a bigger HoF Rating boost from those who did best in 2006/07. The “HoF Ranking” even allows for those with missing years, adapting the formula accordingly to allow to rank alongside the veterans of the FPL.
