When you look at the best managers of all time, you’ll find James Cooper’s name lingering around like the last guest at a house party. He’s currently 20th in the all-time list, and is only going upwards.

He’s currently seriously considering a Bench Boost in Gameweek 1. Here’s his team:

The data guru. Four top 5k finishes in his past seven seasons.

An ‘eye-test’ manager whose squad more often than not looks a bit different compared to the template. Top 5k rank last season.

Three top 50k OR finishes in his past 5 seasons, including 229th in 2020/21, while playing with the crutch of having to pick Manchester United players because he supports them.

Our resident smart manager. Never finished outside of the top 100k, and never stops banging on about that fact.

Our experts love tinkering as much as the next manager, so bookmark this page and come back to it from time to time.
