A List of Former Champions, Veterans and Pundits
I'm very pleased to be bringing you this, the third edition of my curated list of FPL IDs and miscellany.
These are the managers I see as the best of the well-known FPL veterans. Along with their IDs you'll find interviews, articles and Scoutcast episodes in which they impart their wisdom as well as links to their Twitter accounts where many of them share their teams before the deadline each GW.
There will be additions over the season, as and when I gather more information.

Acknowledgements
I wouldn't have been able to find some of the most important IDs here so soon if it weren't for comments posted on FISO by Mav3rick and Stemania.
Thanks as well to /u/Triggerlips for Magnus Carlsen's ID, /u/AlliAyewOKane for Bharat Dhody's ID and /u/FPLGeneral for a number of the Twitter accounts linked here.
And finally, a massive thanks to /u/mikecro2 (whose stellar work (here, here and last season) has contributed significantly to this post)!

The really interesting thing this season is (if what I've read in the FISO thread on Kenneth Tang is right) that by GW38, there's a good chance we'll have the first manager to make 6 top 1k finishes.
It could be Kenneth but there are a couple of other contenders.

u/Kelv0 Aug 11 '18
Nice to be referred to as a former contender, usually it's just "first loser". Might have to post a little more frequently on Twitter, I presume that's what the different speaker icon means?

u/TopdeBotton Aug 11 '18 edited Aug 11 '18
I just needed some kind of key for how active everyone was on Twitter and FFS so that's what they're for.
Glad to see you here though and yeah, if you can, I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it!

I'm pretty sure I had it the other day, I'll try to find it now.

u/TrustMe_I_lie Aug 11 '18
Can you add Bharat Dhody in this? I know coming 3rd is not achievement but considering he is on FPL Scout now would that be considered as a qualification to be on this list?

u/TopdeBotton Aug 11 '18
I'd love to have him here, actually, I just haven't been able to find him.

The team of Magnus Carlsen, World chess champion, he is in a Grandmaster league with other well known players, some of them reasonable at FPL

Sutherns stuck with his team, the absolute madman.

u/Thunshot Aug 11 '18
Have no doubt he will be right up there at the end of the season. Super impressive!

u/luka233 Aug 10 '18
So Sutherns wasn't baiting anyone with his forward picks.
Also this Deeney in Jay's team.

Aug 10 '18
Can you ever view their teams?

u/TopdeBotton Aug 10 '18
The best place for that is on Twitter, where a lot of them post screenshots of them before the deadline.
Some of these guys will even answer your questions on Twitter.

u/TheStryfe Aug 11 '18
Just click on their name and click on gameweek history, you can see their teams

Aug 12 '18
dude, thanks for find Magnus Carlsen team. good job. He was inside 800 overall last year until GW38. The last game didn't go well. But he's very good. Very calm.

u/DanielSade Aug 11 '18
How does Ville Rönkä keep finishing above me when we pick almost identical teams and make the same mistakes :(
1
u/Teo_2197 Aug 11 '18
I love Ville, he's so patient and rational. Never panics, doesn't take hits, always finishes high.

Aug 11 '18
What a superb resource this will be throughout the season, I've been looking for something like this for ages. Thankyou! 🙃

u/eramik Sep 02 '18
Totally agree, and it would be great if we compiled a spreadsheet to see who they transfer in and out.
Should really set the directions for a a top 10k finish.

u/maxicoos Aug 11 '18
Hey, just wondering if anyone has Magson Carlsen's ID. Not sure if he has continued to play this season.

u/kimme Aug 25 '18
This is an very good list. Can we beat Magnus Carlsen here as all of us would be crushed in an chess game against hil...

Can we somehow get a list of the most owned players in these guys' teams?

A site called Teamfill.com runs an algorithm on the top 10k most selected players and puts it into a squad based on %picked. That way you can see pretty much what the template is for them.

That just shows you who's made points so far. Current top 10k is not the same as list of former champions teams.
1
u/TheSneakyOneRTN Sep 11 '18
Sorry I thought you meant for current top10k. Yeah would be interesting to see who these guys are selecting. I guess in principal it’s the same, Just run their fpl user ID through an api script and you could see their % picks amongst them.
