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)

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)

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)
