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)

  1. Neves say Neves
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    A) Ben Davies, James Rodriguez/Greenwood, Wilson
    B) Doherty, Harvey Barnes, Adams

    JRod or Greenwood (can bench greenwood gw1)

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

      A

    2. Moderately content penguin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Might not get many minutes at all with A week 1

      1. Neves say Neves
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Davies will defo play, Wilson is the only fit striker in Newcastle. I was worried more about doherty not playing as spurs havent sold Aurier yet and Doherty only started training on the 8th

        1. Moderately content penguin
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Rodriguez is dubious imo
          JoeLinton not about?

  2. allaboutthemagic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Havertz maximillian or son soucek?!

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

      First

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

      Son + Soucek for me

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

      A for me

    4. AC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Havertz and Max more chance to move around If one fails

  3. Sterling Archer
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Are people open to taking hits gw2? I think ppl holding 2mill itb or benching United players, in theory if you go all out gw1 u cud easily score over 4 points more to cover the hit!

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      It’s a debate that is long running

    2. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Yep, happy to do a -8 if needed

    3. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I'm going 100% all out btw and treating it like a FH

      No issues with hits at the start here*

    4. Garth Marenghi
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Wildcarding also an option

    5. AC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Open to everything except wildcard at this point

  4. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    Salah or Son. Who do you fear more of not having? My team has come to this. If I go the Salah route than Havertz is in.

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Son isn't that scary as a wingback

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        He's a baby-face Assassin !
        Use your words carefully

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

      I don’t fear not having either

      I’d rather have sarah if they were priced the same

      As it is I dropped him for a lot extra elsewhere

    3. Clintymints
      • 17 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Alli is an option and also saves pennies

      1. Mother of Lucas
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Do they let Alli go in net when they concede a pennie? What does Lloris think about this?

    4. Amey
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Fearing an about Mou attacker ??

      Nahh

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

      whats the full Havertz Salah team?

    6. AC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Salah all day every day

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        thanks all

  5. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 9 months ago

    ... HERE. WE. GO:

    McCarthy
    Davies TAA KWP Mitchell
    ASM Son Salah Auba
    Ings Kane

    Nyland Reed Douglas Davis.

    G2G or nah? Cheers and gl!

    1. JURGENAUT
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Is Mitchell nailed? I'm thinking of starting with him too

      Otherwise G2G

    2. MJF
        5 years, 9 months ago

        One of the better of the 1,053,000 RMTs I’ve seen.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          You've seen less than me then 😀

      • nobwak
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Looks good to me,

    3. Dybala10
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Is there anything in it between Dier and Davies? Appreciate they are both kind of underwhelming, but the consensus seems that Davies won’t be a marauding full back. Is diet better for baps and going up for corners?

      1. Clintymints
        • 17 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        They're both grim

        better off with Dier but who knows

      2. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Will Sanchez and Toby be permanently consigned to the bench?

        Sess and Rose much less likely to feature

        The documentary suggests Dier isn't nailed but perhaps the later episodes will reveal more

        Could be a 5m Phil Jones bargain

    4. nobwak
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      How's she looking?

      McCarthy, 4.0
      TAA, Vinagre, Digne, Taylor, Mitchell,
      Auba, Salah, Alli, Saka, Soucek
      Mitro, Werner, Wilson

      Downgrade Digne to spend money elsewhere, or roll with it?

    5. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      If I decided to rotate McCarthy and Meslier, I’m just going to bench points right?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Currently have Johnstone and Button but my fear is if a WBM game is cancelled over COVID that I should have back up

        1. Ser Davos
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Wouldn't they both lose out?

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Aye sorry that’s what I’m getting at, is it safer to have keepers from different teams

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

        Never rotate keepers in my opinion - they can haul in the least likely of games

        1. Samesan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          A loooong time ago I calculated home and away points averages for all keepers, and found they were pretty much the same, with save and bonus points negating the fewer clean sheets. But this was just for one season and really over a decade ago, so I wonder if it still holds true. Anyway, it would back up your point.

      3. AC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Not necessarily the issue is they are both playing away and then home which doesn’t give you the best rotation.

    6. Mother of Lucas
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Which Premier league player currently has the longest hair?
      I don't know the answer to this but my guess is Andy Carroll.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Random. Better than endless FPL questions though

      2. Ginkapo FPL
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Luiz or Gendouzi

        1. Mother of Lucas
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          They would have to straighten it!

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

            how does that make it not long

            1. Mother of Lucas
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 9 months ago

              ...to compare it

      3. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Bale resembles Rapunzel atm

        1. Mother of Lucas
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          I would climb up that 😉

      4. Amey
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Have you seen Bale ?? 😀

      5. Ze_Austin
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Bring Bale back, for the locks

      6. nobwak
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Nathan Ake or Alex Iwobi. It's surprising how much shorter hair becomes when it's dreaded.

      7. Mother of Lucas
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        I wonder what the answer is.
        Why don't they have this data on transfermarkt!?
        Maybe it is somewhere in the member's section....

    7. JURGENAUT
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Is Mitchell going to start for first 2 weeks at least? If not, how long is he expected to start?
      Same question for Vinagre...

      Cheers all

    8. WARIO
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Best midfielder at 6.0 or under?

    13. Mother of Lucas
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      Hector Bellerin would be my favourite player if he changed his first name to Lucas.

    14. kevchenko
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 9 months ago

      I think I'm down to this decision:

      A) Werner and Havertz
      B) Salah and Che Adams

      Help 🙂

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

        B for GW1

        A for GW3 onwards

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        B

    15. MJF
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Did I read that there’ll be an improvement to the members area this year?

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          There has been. I’m not in it for the first time ever

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

            Ha joinin the cheap seats 🙂
            Welcome

      • HollywoodXI
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        GTG?

        McCarthy
        Trent Robbo Doherty
        Salah Auba Pereira ASM Soucek
        Werner Ings

        Steer Mitchell Johnson Davis

        1. Moderately content penguin
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Well done - great side.

          Not sure Doh is worth it over Davies. Might take time to acclimatise etc.

          I'd turn Pereiera into a 7.0 - interesting price point that within reach of lots if you downgrade a 12.0

          1. HollywoodXI
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Thanks. I’m torn between Doherty and Davies. Surely Doherty is superior but there are question marks as to whether he’ll start.

        2. In FPHell
          • 11 Years
          5 years, 9 months ago

          Out of interest, how would you plan on getting one of the 8.0 - 9.5 mids if they’re firing?

          1. HollywoodXI
            • 11 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            Downgrading either Robbo or Doherty and upgrading Pereira probably. I’ll likely WC early so not too stressed about that tbh.

      • royals forever
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 9 months ago

        Are there any final changes that you would make to this team

        McCarthy Nyland

        TAA Davies Egan Justin Ayling

        Aubameyang Son Barnes Livermore Havertz

        DCL Wilson Ings

        1.5 ITB

        Any ideas would be welcomed

        Are AZ and Jonty organizing any cash leagues ?

          McCarthy
          TAA Saiss Justin
          Salah Auba Havertz ASM
          Werner Ings Adams

          (4.0 Ayling Bissouma 4.0)
          0.0m

          Plan for GW2:
          Salah & Ings/Adams ➡️ Bruno & Martial/DCL

          Would you downgrade Saiss to KWP to have 0.5m in the bank?

          1. Scapegoat Salah
            • 9 Years
            5 years, 9 months ago

            I think I would yes, be handy for those price changes, maybe consider Ryan as keeper unless you don’t mind the double up
