As Fantasy Premier League managers search for the best players and best combination of assets for Gameweek 1 of the 2020/21 season, we have collected our Team Reveals all in one place.

The clock is ticking down and everyone in the FPL community is desperate for some answers. Thankfully we have them in abundance.

Fantasy Football Scout will be running exclusive weekly Team Reveals on the site throughout the season (which you can ACCESS HERE), but as it’s the last day before the Gameweek 1 deadline we are publishing a bumper edition. 

We wanted to do something special, by sharing insights from a whole team of leading managers together in one place. Welcome to the best Gameweek 1 Team Reveals…

1. Lateriser12

Three-time top 200 finisher and India’s reigning champion, Lateriser12 is going without Salah, but how has he spread the funds? Premium Members can find out!

2. Simon March

Former FPL winner and four-time top 7k finisher Simon March is also going without Salah. Premium Members can find out why!

3. Darren Wiles

Currently sat third in the FFS Career Hall of Fame, Darren Wiles is going light up-front this season, but which mid-price forwards have taken his fancy?

4. Az

Co-host of the Scoutcast and FPL Black Box, Az has gone for a 4-3-3 formation in light of Blank Gameweek 1’s awkward nature.

5. Andy

With six top 20k finishes to his name, Andy Mears, our video manager, is eyeing up a Chelsea double-up for the start of 2020/21.

6. Zophar666

Recorded before Ziyech’s pre-season injury, this team reveal video from a seven-time top 10k finisher reveals a Chelsea double-up combined with lavish spending elsewhere.

7. Gianni Butticè

Author of Fantasy Premier League: Unlocking the Secrets to a Top 1% Finish, Gianni is going for the bold approach of a triple-up on Arsenal this season.

8. Karam

Karam has gone for the rather bold approach of tripling-up on Liverpool… in defence!

9. Sam Bonfeld

Fresh from a 3k-finish in 2019/20, Sam has somehow managed to get FOUR players priced £10.5m or higher into her team.

10. David Munday

Fantasy Football Scout editor David is toying with the inclusion of Harry Kane this season.

11. Neale Rigg

Fantasy Football Scout’s deputy editor Neale has considered going with a 4-4-2 formation to accommodate investment in Manchester United from the start.

12. Stephen Harrap

Meanwhile, the second-placed FFS Career Hall of Famer, Stephen Harrap has opted for a decidedly puzzling line-up (see what we did there?), choosing to semi-reveal his intended starting squad in cryptic crossword style.
The first person to correctly identify the squad in the comments will earn a Premium Membership (and our eternal admiration!)

GKs:

DJ could start a really hollow thought, and not finish, to get into him. (8)

He’s that cute! (6)

Defenders:

Is that the news of his arrival I hear? (6)

Thanks to Algeria’s opening man. (3)

He’s got the fish despite not ever angling. (7)

A spider’s home brew could be missing him? (8)

Sounds like he’s not going to pass, but I won’t give him an F! (6)

Midfielders:

He has, alas, a broken heart. (5)

He’s part of the direction to a religious king. (6)

Own a stats language on the top of zooming him. (7)

Two snakes, beginning outside, are around me, man. (8)

He likes a bite out of a sandwich between his two apples. (4)

Strikers:

He is a clown, or mistaken with a grand premier. (5)

They say he needs plates to go from left to wright. (6)

He performs headlessly; a cat painting half a funeral. (4-2-7)

      Good luck & have fun

      Goodbye FPL. It's been fun but I intend enjoying my football this season without worrying about who gets an assist etc. Maybe see you next year. Good luck all.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Take care

      2. Ser Davos
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Wise

  2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Which combo for GW1?

    A) Robbo + Adams
    Or
    B) VVD + Wilson

  3. Epic Fail
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Plenty of teams to copy. This game is easy.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 1 month ago

      What if you copy the wrong one?

      1. Epic Fail
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Well I won't be copying any of theirs as I want a good rank.

        1. kennethrhcp
          6 years, 1 month ago

          How is your team looking epic?

          1. Epic Fail
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Literally just started tinkering for the very first time.

            1. kennethrhcp
              6 years, 1 month ago

              Probably for the best... weeks of tinkering is a waste. GL

      2. Piggs Boson
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'm going for Sam's from FPL Family. I like the Livermore and Lascelles picks.

        1. Epic Fail
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Being serious for a second if i was going to copy you'd really have to trust Lateriser.

          1. Piggs Boson
            6 years, 1 month ago

            I think he's trolling.

            "First off, I’d just like to say that this is my team as of Thursday afternoon and I have no clue how many more moments of inspiration I have ahead of me."

            1. Epic Fail
              6 years, 1 month ago

              That's a pretty decent disclaimer for when his team turns out to be completely different 😀

    2. g40steve
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Where you been hiding?

      1. Epic Fail
        6 years, 1 month ago

        I'm always around. Watching 😉

    3. beric
      6 years, 1 month ago

      The independent did a pretty good job of summarising this website today. How am i supposed to show off to my friends now?

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        What did they say - that we were a load of obsessed prats?

    4. Amey
      6 years, 1 month ago

      😀

    5. Canadian Football
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      LMAO

  4. Nutmeg Ninja
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Feeling good! Mix of differentials and template players:

    McCarthy
    Tierney Robbo Justin Mitchell
    Salah Auba Soucek
    Werner Firmino DCL

    Nyland; Bissouma Foden Taylor

    1. Stockport Hatter
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Decent but Firmino is everything but fantasy gold

      1. Nutmeg Ninja
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        6 years, 1 month ago

        One week punt as I think he outscores Ings this week. Will become Martial next week.

        1. Stockport Hatter
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Fair play and hope it pays off for you.

          1. Nutmeg Ninja
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            6 years, 1 month ago

            Thanks. Good luck to you.

    2. Agger
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I like Foden as a pick

    6 years, 1 month ago

    If Bruno has to quarantine and miss GW2 would you still get Martial in GW2?

    1. Siva Mohan
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    3. Amey
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Definitely

      1. Karan_G14
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Seriously? No Bruno & some doubts around Pogba too.

        1. Amey
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Pogisback

          Bruno will be IN time IMO. Even if he isn't we have Van de beek !!

          We ain't sh.t team bro. We have great backup players (only CAM atm 😀 )

          1. Karan_G14
            6 years, 1 month ago

            I just hope Bruno goes back tonight otherwise it will ruin all my plans. I have to get both Bruno & Martial in.

    4. Cok3y5murf
      6 years, 1 month ago

      No

      1. Cok3y5murf
        6 years, 1 month ago

        If Palace get utterly whooped in GW1 5-0 or something, I'll consider it.

        1. Karan_G14
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah makes sense tbh. I'll be monitoring that situation. Although I would expect Bruno to fly in tonight.

  12. fr3d
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If you for some reason had to pick right now which GW to play WC. Which gameweek is it?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

  13. Dybala10
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1. Optimus.
      6 years, 1 month ago

      1. Ser Davos
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Cat amongst pigeons

        1. Ser Davos
          6 years, 1 month ago

          Actually it wouldn't given Pulisic, Havertz and Werner's values

    2. kennethrhcp

      Cheers for that

  14. DRIZ ✅
    6 years, 1 month ago

    1. beric

      1. Nightcrawler
        6 years, 1 month ago

    2. fr3d

    1. Mother of Lucas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      1. Amey
        6 years, 1 month ago

  16. denial
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    'Team Reveals' is all rather saucy.

  17. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Worth doing Doherty to Davies assuming Doherty doesn't start

    1. kennethrhcp
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Why assume that?

  18. _Ninja_
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Shaw a better option than Davies/Dier?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I think so

    2. MattysFantasyFooty
      6 years, 1 month ago

      on fixtures probably not

    3. Rinseboy
      6 years, 1 month ago

      hey Ninja how's your team shaping up and what plans do you have for utd city players? tough this.Hope you're well tho mate

      1. _Ninja_
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Hi mate, its template as usual. Not sure on def (apart from TAA obs) 2 of Dier, Egan, Shaw

        Salah, Auba, Son, Soucek (Biss)
        Werner Wilson Adams

        Hows your team looking?

        1. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          6 years, 1 month ago

          My front 8 exactly same as yours

    4. Karan_G14
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Saiss over all of them I feel.

      1. _Ninja_
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah Saiss is a great pic

    5. g40steve
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Egan, Saiss, Keane

      1. _Ninja_
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Hi mate, never really thought of Keane tbh. The other 2 i'll likely have.

  19. the vanisher
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A. Ramsdale - KWP
    or
    B. McCarthy - Egan

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Jonny HOW SON?
      6 years, 1 month ago

      b

    3. VinMar
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Gone A so i can rotate kwp and shaw

  20. DeadStarComing
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Does Kelvin Phillips really take most of Leeds free kicks and corners, as per the set pieces tab?

  21. Gazpilicueta
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Quick question, any 4.0 defenders looking like they will get minutes this year?

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Ferguson

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      It's always difficult to know at this stage. There's always one that emerges eventually.

    3. Rains of Castamere
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Mitchell at the start. Ferguson in a few weeks.

    4. Yome
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Douglas

  22. Right In The Stanchion
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Salah is such a boring pick. Bad form from both him and Liverpool. Tricky fixtures and they don’t destroy teams anymore.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      6 years, 1 month ago

      form is temporary, class is permanent

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I agree. He is a boring pick. Trouble is, if he simply scores a penalty and you don't own him, it's trouble.

      1. Right In The Stanchion
        6 years, 1 month ago

        If Liverpool are stale and get a 1-0 win you’re quids in

      2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        6 years, 1 month ago

        depends if the player you pick instead also scores

    3. KEN YA DIG IT
      6 years, 1 month ago

      See you tomorrow when he bags a hattrick

  23. pundit of punts
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Best 4.5m mid?

    Bissouma or Reed?

    1. g40steve
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Got Reed low ownership

  24. Mother of Lucas
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Okay, trick question...

    A) Lucas Moura
    B) ...just kidding there is no one I want more than Lucas Moura 🙂

  25. Mr. Mystic
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Why no love for Lascelles/Newcastle defence?

    1. Mother of Lucas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Stripes don't match the rest of my outfit.

      1. Ser Davos
        6 years, 1 month ago

        WBA's barcode is optically lovely. Worth a Diangana Pereira double up

      2. KEN YA DIG IT
        6 years, 1 month ago

    2. beric
      6 years, 1 month ago

      They're rubbish

  26. GOATMEAT
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Reece James worth of risk first gameweeks?

    Ot better opt with Egan or Saiss or .....?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Tommy Egan

    2. Mother of Lucas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      ooo Saiss sounds sassy 😉

  27. S.Kuqi
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone willing to gamble with Pulisic? Would rather have him than Alli

    1. DRIZ ✅
      6 years, 1 month ago

      good punt

    2. Mother of Lucas
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Alli ever wanted was to be in your team :'(

  28. Captain Vantastic™
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Is Reece James nailed on?

  29. YoungPretender
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A) Son, Egan & DCL

    B) Alli, Vinagre & Ings

  30. cuppatea78
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who to bench?
    A) KWP
    B) Justin
    C) Soucek
