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.

    Anyone considering Cherki? I don’t think I’ve seen him in any teams, but if he plays where Scout predicted lineup has him, he could be a steal.

      Too much of a rotation risk with pep-ball.

    Who is everyone's pick of the 5.5m mids?

    1. sthelenslad92
      • 10 Years
      7 months, 16 days ago

      I had been on Anderson but I'm sweating with Forest signing at least 1 centre mid, might switch to Adingra.

    2. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 months, 16 days ago

      Anderson - Steady Eddie.
      Reijnders - Punty.

      Take your pick.

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      7 months, 16 days ago

      I've got Anderson Reijnders double up

    4. Revival

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 months, 16 days ago

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 months, 16 days ago

          If you can downgrade players like Murrilo to Williams, Tarkowski to O'Brien, Porro to VDV etc? Might scrape up some funds?

        • 8 Years
        7 months, 16 days ago

    So you're sitting down and thinking you'd like fried eggs for breakfast. It's one of those days where you're just like 'yeh, i'm going for it'.

    How many do you fry and consume?

    I'm on 8

  21. Sun Jihai

    Interesting Salah is basically on every single one of the expert reveals on here but only 54% total ownership

  22. KieranKA
    • 4 Years
    7 months, 16 days ago

    Sarr vs Kudus?

    1. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    6.5 mid quandary. Thank you peeps

    1. Count of Monte Hristo

        Which Sarr? Thanks

    2. Thicksolidtight
      • 3 Years
      7 months, 16 days ago

      Rice! Georginio also available for 6.0 and is hopefully replacing Welbeck as first choice to start up front (at least that's what pre-season has implied).

      6.5 is a tough price point, i've flirted with a few. Sarr looked like he was up for it in the community shield

      1. Benedict_Alexander_Arnold
        • 1 Year
        7 months, 16 days ago

        Appreciated

  26. AD105
    • 9 Years
    7 months, 16 days ago

    Shall I do Sarr > Rogers and if so, where do I find the 0.5?

    Sanchez
    Murillo Porro Diouf
    Salah Palmer Bruno Sarr Reijnders
    Watkins Pedro

    Dubravka Richards Esteve Kroupi

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      That’s 99% my team don’t rip it up.

      Ankle injuries don’t heal overnight, if weak could be first tackle & off.

      To quote ‘Nuno’ Assess 🙂
