The final pre-season week before Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) Gameweek 1 deadline has been jam-packed with advice from Fantasy experts of all hues, as everyone (including Fantasy Football Scout, of course) tries to share their wisdom.

Frankly, reading it all can be a bit overwhelming, taking up a lot of time that FPL managers no longer have.

To help you out, Scout have collected 42 of the top Team Reveals together in one place, coming from former winners, pro pundits and our own staff.

Notes have been deliberately kept simple, allowing you to smoothly scan, but some have external links that add more information. Whilst we can’t guarantee it’s the answer to life, the universe and everything, it should give you a leg up into Gameweek 1.

    Not seen marmoush in any teams, anymore think he’s worth a punt ?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      I think he's overlooked/underrated, but it's still a Peptation risk.

      Yeah, solid player. Just not a shiny new toy and Man City have had very little pre-season

  3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    which is best
    1. Perri and Murillo

    What 4m goalkeeper will start this weekend?

        But he does not seem to be starting this weekend

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      Only Dubby

  5. Tonyawesome69

    It seems that those not following a particular chip strategy are quite fixated on GW1 and are not looking beyond that gameweek.

    The transfer window is open until after GW3 deadline

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      I removed Gakpo and Etikike for that reason

    2. ebb2sparky
      • 15 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      How do you know they dont have a particular chip strategy? I expect most of them plan to WC fairly early so only focus on the first few weeks.

    I have Ekitike (and Salah + Wirtz) and now I'm thinking of swapping him to Frimpong. Is it just the gameday nerves?

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Stuck now with Rogers being fit and wanted him from the start.

    Is Watkins and Rogers double up over kill?

    Which option:

    A) Neco - Rogers - Fulkrug

    B) Milenkovic - KDH - Mateta

    A has the fixtures even though I’ve been on B all week.

  13. Mighty Duck

    After Reijnders has quickly become a template pick, I consider switching to Malen in the same price bracket.

    1. Mr.K
      • 12 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      For starts I'd rather go for Malen as well. Don't have either though.

  14. Jrot94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    6 months, 23 days ago

    Teams are flying fast, anyone else going rotating 5 cheap defenders with upside? wait on expensive defenders until Pool/Arsenal assets get better fixtures and we see if RAN is nailed? Not seeing this strategy much, but I think I'm set...

    Effectively gets me Mitoma over Reindeer out of the gate

    Sanchez
    Neco VdV De Cuyp
    Salah Palmer Wirtz Rogers Mitoma
    Watkins Wood

    Afternoon,
    Final decision.
    A. Ndiaye ?
    B. Sarr ?

    Cheers

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      which Sarr?

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        Presumably the same price point Palace one.

        I'd go for Sarr

        1. shredder
          • 15 Years
          6 months, 23 days ago

          yep, thats the one.
          Cheers

      2. shredder
        • 15 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        Ah yes, Palace Sarr

    2. Mr.K
      • 12 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      I'd go Ndiaye but it's a coin toss.

      1. shredder
        • 15 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        i think i will do a coin toss actually and see if im happy with the result.
        I'll know then who I'd prefer 🙂

      2. shredder
        • 15 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        Ndiaye won the coin toss

        1. Mr.K
          • 12 Years
          6 months, 23 days ago

          Told you so!

  16. vincentwsho
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    6 months, 23 days ago

    Which is better?

    1) KDH + Murillo + RAN
    2) Rogers + Neco + Diouf / De Cuyper
    3) Rogers + Murillo + Gudmunsson

  17. Kno
    • 14 Years
    6 months, 23 days ago

    Which combo?

    A: vdv and wirtz
    B: porro and gakpo

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      A for puntiness.

      The chance of making a perfect team is basically zero. We're going to make many mistakes. We're going to get unexpected injuries that scupper our plans. But let's try to enjoy the journey all the same. Good luck everyone.

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years

        Cheers Moon madra.

    • Atimis
      • 9 Years

      Rodon or Gudmundsson?

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        Gud Mun

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          6 months, 23 days ago

          Any reason behind?

        2. GreennRed
          • 14 Years
          6 months, 23 days ago

          I have Rodon cos I think he looks more nailed on. Is Gudmundsson a better pick Freshy?

          1. Atimis
            • 9 Years
            6 months, 23 days ago

            Both nailed tho Gud playing full back could be better? Dunno

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      Who's going to be correct? AI or humans!

      The projections put Mateta as the better pick over the next 6 GWs, but J Pedro in a majority of teams.

      What do you think?

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        6 months, 23 days ago

        Mateta is safer due to xmins

    • thom830g
      • 8 Years
      6 months, 23 days ago

      Which one?
      A) Rutter + P.M. Sarr
