Team Reveals

Fantasy Football Scout’s best FPL team reveals ahead of Gameweek 1 deadline

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)

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Son -> Havertz/Pulisic
      Mitrovic -> Wilson

      Something I would consider

      Good to go as is tho. GL!

      1. james 101
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks mate.

        Have considered most of that!!

  6. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Most of the guys linked above have Nyland over Steer..

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Me too.

      You have thoughts on this, mate?

  7. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Is a defence of TAA, Davies, KWP, Justin too weak of playing 4 at the back?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No.

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        So you think it’s fine?

    2. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      We don’t really know yet

      May be ok

      It is just a spend decision. If you feel the bonus elsewhere makes up for it then it’s fine mate

      1. TheDragon
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Gives me a front 6 I’m really happy with

        Saah, Auba, Son, ASM
        Werner Ings

        0.5 in the back for Ings to Martial and Son as a placeholder for Chelsea midfielder in GW4 onwards

        But I hate playing 4 at the back!

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Solid thought process mate.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      For the long term it's too weak (Justin)
      Should be fine to start with tho!

  8. MarkFLR
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Very close to 5m players guess thatll be just under 6m come 11am tomorrow

  9. Hangman Page
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What a load of rubbish.

  10. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Arsenal under arteta are not all out attack, if they score first they tend to sit back and absorb pressure rather than go for 2 or 3. Auba has good fixtures on paper and could well smash it if he gets lucky but the way Arteta sets out his team worries me

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Who is your skip?

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        right now kane but has been on auba previously. Just not sure on either

        1. james 101
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Auba for me. Pretty reliable generally. Kane could be awesome. Or. Not.

    2. Hangman Page
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think they’ll head in the right direction under Arteta but I agree, they underwhelm going forward. Saka is a bright spot though, looking forward to seeing how he develops.

      I was actually just wondering how much Chelsea are going to miss Willian this weekend what with Ziyech out.

  11. yamms_schmitz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    2nd keeper - Button or Nyland?
    5th defender - Taylor or spurs defender (Doherty, Davies, Dier)?
    3rd striker - Calvert-Lewin or Adams?

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Nyland going by the guys on the article.
      Doherty.
      DCL

    2. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Button
      Taylor

    I can't see any of team reveals.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      most likely they wont be the same teams tomorrow 😉

      1. Gazamiseh4eva
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah gotcha, I still can't see them though. Think my account has a glitch

  13. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A) Son + Wilson
    B) Kane + Saint Maximin
    C) Alli + Wilson + 1m to upgrade elsewhere (needed)
    D) Alii + Ings

  14. Rinseboy
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    First RMT I think from me. Tell me straight if this is terrible?

    Mccarthy
    Saiss TAA Justin
    Auba Havertz Alli ASM Soucek
    Ings Werner
    Steer Martial Taylor 4.0 def

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes. No salah

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        yep could be a disaster. Back to the drawing board I guess. Salah the funds killer!

    2. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      You are good to go

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years

        thanks

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years

      Not terrible at all!

      1. Rinseboy
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

  15. S.Kuqi

    1. KEN YA DIG IT

      Its all about the cash

    2. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Tis a business these days

    3. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Have always bought membership but might not this season.

      1. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Ya said last season I was done... but here I am again as a member

  16. Catastrophe

    A) Wilson, ASM & Egan (KWP, Mitchell, (fodder))
    B) Wilson, Mitrovic & Taylor (KWP, Mitchell, Bissouma)

    1) Egan (Bissouma) (4-4-2)
    2) Soucek (Taylor) (3-5-2)

    Cheers!

  17. How I met your Mata
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    interesting the scout thinks Aurier will start over Doherty

    1. kennethrhcp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      On still going doh

      1. Apwilkin
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I think I will too. Jose seems to really like him. His upside is way higher than that of Davies or Dier on that back line too. Ive got KWP on the bench if push comes to shove.

        1. kennethrhcp
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Agreed. GL

    2. sirmorbach
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      This is ruining my day. Should I ditch Doherty?

      1. kennethrhcp
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Take the risk with doh

        1. sirmorbach
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Let's do this. Cheers!

  18. TheDragon
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Salah hattrick would be amazing - one time!

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He'd still only get 1 bap

    2. Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Wet dream

  19. beric
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Where's TM/Whats the last man standing league code?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      It should be in his profile

      1. beric
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah...thats why im asking for him

  20. 2's Kompany 3's M…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Might have been answered elsewhere but who is the Arsenal GK going to be?
    Is Martinez going to another club?

    Thanks.

  21. QUEN
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    So Bruno our GW2 to isolate

  22. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I’m actually thinking of going without Mo Salah. Is this crazy? The funds spreads a lot further going without

    1. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not crazy.

    2. KEN YA DIG IT
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      You will need a big sofa then

    3. Pogboom
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Same mate! Team becomes much more balanced without Salah but the thought of missing out on him is scary AF.

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Try going without Auba instead and you get the same balance

    4. Eastman
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I have held Salah for every game since his first Liverpool appearance and done well. I have this year started without him. I need the funds and wanted Auba who I wanted to captain. He may come back in but don't want two 12m players.

      1. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Not having him allows so much more and I guess if he hits it running then I’ll just need to swap out Aubameyang somewhen it hit an early wildcard. I’ve always owned Salah but the one time I ditched him he scored a hatty away at Bournemouth.

    5. Apwilkin
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’m sticking with Auba and Salah for the first 2 weeks (hope to hold 1 FT). Whoever looks more appealing after that will stay. Ill ship out the other one for GW3. Will have a better sense of all the new assets in the league. Mini WC with 3 transfers for -4.

      1. Eastman
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yes it's probably the safer plan. Feel like a change of tactics

      2. Danstoke82
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Perfect. Cheers for the advice!

  23. RossoneriHammer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on my team much appreciated!

    Ryan
    Walton

    TAA
    Doherty
    VVD
    Justin
    Walker-Peters

    Salah
    Aubameyang
    Saint-Maximin
    Pereira
    Soucek

    Wood
    Adams
    Werner

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Martinez might be off to Brighton. Otherwise gtg

  24. gomez123
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    ASM or Soucek....and dont say both

    1. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      ASM imo.

  25. Egg noodle
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Who is nailed? ZOUMA or RUDIGER?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I don't think Lampard knows

  26. Ludde
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Where can I find the teams that are available for premium members?

    1. JohnnyRev7
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      If you mean league codes... in the members area. Otherwise I don't know what you're asking.

  27. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Best 4.5 defender for the first two gameweeks?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Justin

    2. denial
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Justin probably

  28. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Davies or dier

  29. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Areola anyone ?

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Has quite the perk

  30. cuppatea78
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Who should I bench?
    A) KWP
    B) Justin
    C) Soucek
