Fantasy Premier League: Meet the boss who beat 4.5 million managers to top spot

Antonio Conte beat 19 other managers to win the Premier League. Ben Crabtree? Just the 4.5 million...

Conte was named Manager of the Year by the League Managers' Association this week after leading Chelsea to the title in his first season in charge.

The 47-year-old transformed the Blues from fallen champions to winners in just 12 months and his attention to detail was crucial.

He changed players' diets, watched every aspect of Chelsea's training, preparation and games in meticulous detail, and was obsessed with success.

Crabtree - the winner of the Official Fantasy Premier League - may not have had the same sort of control over his players, but his attention to detail was certainly similar to that of Conte.
