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)

    TAA, Saliba, KWP (Digne, Webster)
    Auba (c) Lucas Moura, Saka, ASM (Burke)

      Looking fit.

    3. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

      No Salah?

      1. Mighty Banana
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        No Noble?

      2. Mother of Lucas
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        No thank you. Auba the only 12m for me at the start but he will change for upside chasing. Not having Salah allows me to have that strong front 3 which will also change for upside chasing..

    4. denial

      Nice. This is the kind of team that will score really highly.

  2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE

    Chances of Doherty starting?
    Seems to be in all the predicted lineups elsewhere apart from on here

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

      I think he will but can't say I'm sure.

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

      He'll start.

      7/10 g2g

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

    Pulisic or Havertz or Alli? Have Werner.

    Adams or Mitro?

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

      I was between Havertz and Alli.
      Picked Alli because dont want two unproven PL player and have Werner.

      Adams for me.

      1. barry custard
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        this

    2. Toked
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve sat on Havertz but I’m about 70% of the way towards switching to Pulisic as I’m feeling he’s guaranteed more minutes GW1

  5. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Have I missed something? Been busy for some days. Is Saiss actually considered to be at risk because of this Vinito guy?

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

      Who? I'd say Marcal could be a threat to his place

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No immediate threat.

  6. Snooze ya lose

    b) Davies

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Does it really matter, both either get CS or they don’t

    2. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Both seem like good picks.
      I quite like Dier though.

      Decent effort

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

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

      Is it not Gunn?

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Forster

    A) Pulisic / Calvert-Lewin / Adams
    B) James Rodriguez / Wilson / Ings

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

      A

  16. Uncle John from Jamaica
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Could you spare me a moment please for your thoughts on this side.

    Nyland/Steer (Appreciate neither play week one)

    TAA, Robbo, KWP. Mitchell, Burr
    Auba / Son / Barnes / Soucek / Bissouma
    Werner / Ings / Jimi

    £1m in the bank so next week I can do Barnes + Son to Greenwood and Rashford.

    Thanks.

  17. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Keane - Shaw - Davies - Justin - Vinagre

    Is this worth the risk of going without TAA?

    1. Uncle John from Jamaica
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      So much potential for just £7.5, I found it hard to overlook him.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Plan to go without for 4 gameweeks max, but I'm still 50/50 on it.

    2. AC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I like the idea of spending transfers minimally on the defence so if you are happy to go without TAA for say 8 weeks then why not

  18. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Just thought Smallbone might be a decent 4.5 short term punt with Armstrong knock

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Southampton fans don't seem to rate him but think he will start vs Palace.

  19. pjomara
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Why does Antonio have such high ownership?
    He doesn't have great stats from previous seasons

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

      he had a great end of season

    2. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I thought his ownership would be higher tbh, just the bad fixtures i guess

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

      Some of the best stats in the game post restart.

  20. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Final decision:

    A) Saiss and Soucek
    B) Vinagre and ASM

  21. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Will C. Wilson start??

    1. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’m confident

  22. andrinho
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Can't pick:
    a) KWP
    or
    b) Justin

    Have McCarthy already

    1. Uncle John from Jamaica
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      KWP safer long term option

  23. dee_top
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Guys, G2G??

    McCarthy (fodder)
    TAA Saliba Justin (Digne Mitchell)
    Salah (c) Auba Ward-Prowse Soucek (Bissouma)
    Vardy DCL Ings

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

    What people doing?

    A) Mane
    B) Salah

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

      Masalah

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

    Should I start Mitchell over Dallas? I should, shouldn't I?

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

      Yes

  26. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on this team ?

    McCarthy
    TAA/Davies/Vinagre
    Salah/Auba/Son/ASM/Soucek
    Werner/Ings

    4.0/KWP/4.0def/Brewster

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

      7/10 missing eve/lei coverage

  27. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    So what's the consensus on Vinagre after all? he is not in the predicted lineup on FFS

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

      oh FFS

    2. AC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Very tough decision to make should be good I assume for this week after that he’s a risk

    3. Tricky FC
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No idea yet. I feel he should play.

  28. Takedog1
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    soucek or Philips?

    hears Philips takes most free kicks and corners

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

    Not too templatey, not completely settled either. Did have Bruno till quarantine popped up, not willing to risk it. Got a full playing bench aside button due to COVId

    McCarthy | Button
    TAA | KWP | Justin | Lamptey | Ayling
    Aub | Son | Havertz | Rashford | Bis
    Mitro | Adams | Vardy

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

      £0.5 ITB

    2. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Different, but full of potential

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

        Thanks bud

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

    Really don't see why Havertz won't start

    Pulisic, maybe due to fitness concerns. But Havertz is so clearly above the alternatives (and also versatile) that it seems he has to slip right in

    Lampard will have his reasons either way, of course
