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)

      Any input appreciated

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Son -> Havertz/Pulisic
      Mitrovic -> Wilson

      Something I would consider

      Good to go as is tho. GL!

      1. james 101
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks mate.

        Have considered most of that!!

  6. Weak Become Heros
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

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

    1. james 101
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Me too.

      You have thoughts on this, mate?

  7. TheDragon
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 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
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      No.

      1. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        So you think it’s fine?

    2. james 101
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 9 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
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 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
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Solid thought process mate.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

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

  8. MarkFLR
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

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

  9. MJF
      5 years, 9 months ago

      What a load of rubbish.

    • ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 9 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
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Who is your skip?

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

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

          1. james 101
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

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

      2. MJF
          5 years, 9 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.

      3. yamms_schmitz
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 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
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

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

        2. KEN YA DIG IT
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Button
          Taylor
          Adams

      4. Gazamiseh4eva
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I can't see any of team reveals.

        1. DRIZ ✅
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          most likely they wont be the same teams tomorrow 😉

          1. Gazamiseh4eva
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

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

      5. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

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

      6. Rinseboy
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 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
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Yes. No salah

          1. Rinseboy
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

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

        2. KEN YA DIG IT
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          You are good to go

          1. Rinseboy

            5 years, 9 months ago

            thanks

        3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Not terrible at all!

          1. Rinseboy
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            cheers

      7. S.Kuqi
        • 13 Years

        So now I have to pay to unlock regular articles 😐

        1. KEN YA DIG IT
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Its all about the cash

          Tis a business these days

        3. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Have always bought membership but might not this season.

          1. kennethrhcp
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

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

        2) Soucek (Taylor) (3-5-2)

        Cheers!

      9. How I met your Mata
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        interesting the scout thinks Aurier will start over Doherty

        1. kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          On still going doh

          1. Apwilkin
            • 6 Years
            5 years, 9 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
              • 15 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Agreed. GL

        2. sirmorbach
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          This is ruining my day. Should I ditch Doherty?

          1. kennethrhcp
            • 15 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Take the risk with doh

            1. sirmorbach
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              Let's do this. Cheers!

      10. TheDragon
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Salah hattrick would be amazing - one time!

        1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
          • 14 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          He'd still only get 1 bap

        2. Z
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Wet dream

      11. beric
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

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

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          It should be in his profile

          1. beric
            • 14 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Yeah...thats why im asking for him

      12. 2's Kompany 3's M…
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

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

        Thanks.

      13. QUEN
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        So Bruno our GW2 to isolate

      14. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

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

        1. UnitedFan
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Not crazy.

        2. KEN YA DIG IT
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          You will need a big sofa then

        3. Pogboom
          • 9 Years
          5 years, 9 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
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Try going without Auba instead and you get the same balance

        4. Eastman
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 9 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
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 9 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
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 9 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
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

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

          2. Danstoke82
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Perfect. Cheers for the advice!

      18. Ludde
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        1. People in Preston
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

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

      19. Pep Roulette
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Best 4.5 defender for the first two gameweeks?

        2. denial
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Justin probably
