The first season of FPL started in 2002/03 and since then 20 people have won FPL. The popularity of FPL is increasing each season and that has made winning FPL remarkably hard. We have gone from 76K managers in 2002/03 to 9.2 Million managers in 2021/22. In this blog, let’s see the winner of each season of FPL.
Link to all our FPL history blogs covering the highest-scoring players each season, highest-scoring midfielders, defenders, forwards, goalkeepers, the origin of FPL, and more. Give them all a read if you want to know what happened back in the day.

Here is Tom Felney’s interview with the PL
Simon March 2014/15 FPL Winner (Twitter)
Simon March is by far the most successful and popular FPL winner. He’s often seen on the Official FPL channel offering his thoughts and inputs.

Dimitri Nicolaou 2015/16 FPL Winner(Twitter)
Dimitri incredibly won FPL in his first attempt. He won it comfortably inspite of the fact he had Chris Smalling in GW38 who scored an OG in 90+3.
He also took only one hit throughout the season.
Ben Crabtree 2016/17 FPL Winner (Twitter)
Crabtree, who has been playing the game for eight seasons, improved from 353rd five years ago to take the number one spot in 2016-17. The proud Evertonian secured the title without the services of a single Liverpool player – a decision he didn’t take lightly.

2017/18 FPL Winner Yusuf Sheikh (Twitter)

Adam Levy 2018/19 FPL Winner
Adam Levy went into the final week with a lead of 60 points one of the biggest margins going into the final gameweek of the season. He’s from New Zealand and when he won it was 4 AM in the morning.
2019/20 FPL Winner Joshua Bull (Twitter)
Michael Coone 20/21 FPL Winner (Twitter)
Michael Coone won FPL thanks to a Mane haul in GW38, he also finished with the most points ever scored in an FPL season, a record which was previously held by Jon Reeson from 2009/10 season.

2021/22 FPL Winner ~ Jamie Pigott(Twitter)
Jamie Pigott edged Indian manager Suvansh Singh to win the 2021/22 FPL season. His 2844 points haul is the highest ever scored by a manager and the drastic increase is attributed to the high number of double gameweeks.

2022/23 FPL Winner – Ali Jahangirov(@FplGunz)
Ali Jahangirov who was very active on FPL Twitter throughout the season had a phenomenal end to the season while playing the game in his own style. He first reached the top in GW25 when he jumped from overall rank 29 to overall rank 4. The first time he reached the number 1 spot was in GW28, after a small slip up he reached the number 1 spot again in GW33, and from then on he never dropped a rank eventually winning FPL in GW38.
Callum Wilson played a major role in Ali’s victory, he had Wilson in GW14 when he returned 19 points in a 4-0 win over Aston Villa(2 goals and 2 assists). Later in the season when Newcastle had a double gameweek(DGW36) Ali brought Wilson in and captained him, this time around Wilson returned 24 points(48 points as a captain). Most of the other managers in the top 10 captained Isak and he returned only 7 points which proved to be a big swing for Ali.
The last bit of drama was in GW38, Both Ali and the number 2 manager, Azzurri had Wilson. Wilson was however benched and Azzuri had Pinnock as his first sub who returned 15 points(Goal, CS, and 3 bonus), had Pinnock come in for Azzuri then he would have won the 2022/23 season of FPL. However, Wilson came in as a sub and got one point, blocking the 15-pointer haul from Pinnock for Azzuri.
@FplGunz eventually won by 5 points in the end:)

Norwegian manager Jonas won the fiercely competed 23/24 FPL Season comfortably in the end. Jonas reached the top spot in GW34 and held on to the top spot for the remainder of the season finishing with 2799 points the most any FPL winner has registered in the history of FPL!
