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)

    Do we think Douglas will feature....?
    Could be a useful 4

    1. Keano
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3 years, 7 months ago

      He'll share minutes with Alioski when Dallas isn't available at LB (could be when Dallas is required at RB or in midfield). Could get a start at Anfield if Bielsa puts Ayling at CB, but even still I think Alioski is slightly higher in the pecking order.

  2. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years

    ramsdale number one for the blades right ?

    1. Jonny HOW SON?

      GL my good man 😉

      i think im set aswell... just want the deadline to pass

      1. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        No more tinkering

        See u on the other side!

  4. Jdpz
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Havertz or Pulisic?

    1. Front 442
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Toss a coin!
      I’m on Havertz

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Pulisic will get 30 mins I'd guess this GW, Havertz will start. Both start against Pool. Pulisic just edges it long term for me, but both good picks.

      1. Ser Davos
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Any insight on the FUL gk situation?

        1. F4L
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Its a weird one because Rodak really was our best player last season alongside Mitro, so its a bit bemusing we've gone all out to get a top keeper in, instead of just cover.

          My guess is Rodak will be given the chance at the start of the season to prove himself, and then it becomes performance depending on who starts. So I wouldn't put Rodak or Areola in, neither are guaranteed to be starting.

          1. Ser Davos
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Just as I thought, many thanks

  5. _Ninja_
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Best option here?

    A Son/Wilson
    B Kane/ASM

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

      Could go either way but A

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

        Cool, on this currently. cheers

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

          What’s the team looking like?
          Going rouge at the start - Salah less 🙁

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

      50/50

  6. Moxon
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A). Hames + Mitro
    B). Alli + Soucek?

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

    A) Ings
    B) Lacazette

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ings

  8. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Repost for comments please

    McCarthy
    TAA Egan Davies Justin
    Salah Aubameyang Son ASM
    Werner Ings

    Button Mitchell Bissouma Brewster

    1. Good to go??
    2. Anyway of getting this to a 343 without ruining the balanced team??

    Thanks

    1. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Very nice team. Only way would be to have 3x4.5m at back along with Mitchell and Soucek over ASM. Then you’d afford a 6m forward (basically my team now!)

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

        Thanks mate yes the dilemma is essentially

        1. Egan Davies ASM Brewster
        2. Vinagre KWP Soucek Mitrovic (or other 6.0)

        1. Pat Bonner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          It’s tough as probably better balance with 1. I’m also considering downgrading son to Ali to upgrade defence

    2. Dank Squid
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      1. I have to say yes, as my team is almost the same
      2. If you like the balance, do you really need a 343? I also have two 5.0 defenders, have a feeling many will be spending transfers changing their 4.5s quite soon

  9. jimmyabs1987
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else thinking with Doherty coming in Kane will get way more service in the box? i just can’t ignore him with those fixtures.

    Also, when you take salah/mane out, it’s incredible how much depth your team can have!

  10. Will J 256
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Which three do you prefer?
    Ings
    ASM
    Davies

    Adams
    Pulisic
    Justin

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      First 3

    2. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A for sure

  11. MGD
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Think I’m set.

    Ryan
    TAA - Davies - Holding - Justin
    Auba (c) - Salah - Son - Barnes - ASM
    Werner

    Nylund - Mitro - Mitchell - Davis

    0.5 for Son ti Rash next GW.

    Gtg?

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

    Rmt
    Mcarthy | button
    TAA, vinagre, justin, ayling, mitchel
    Auba, barnes, bruno, asm, havertz
    Werner, dcl, adams

    Any tips? Vinagre a real doubt?
    0.5 itb
    Can do barnes to jwp and vinagre to digne/Doherty

  13. WE GO FOR IT
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Ryan | McCarthy
    Trent | Doc | KWP | Lascelles | Ferguson
    Salah | Auba | Greenwood | ASM | 4.5
    Kane | Mitrovic | Adams

    0.5 ITB

    Any suggestions?

    Went for Greenwood as a differential United attacker. I think he starts given that Sancho deal doesn't look like happening and he played well in games like in project restart! Of course, I can switch to Rashford/Bruno later on. I plant to downgrade Auba to KdB and Kane to Werner going forward. So, money won't be a problem! Can downgrade Doc to Davies for the extra million as well!

  14. james 101
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Okay. Final team. Gtg?!

    McCarthy.
    TAA Robbo Egan
    Auba Havertz Alli SaintM
    Werner Ings Mitrovic

    (Steer Saiss Stephens Mitchell)

    1. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      0.5 in the bank for the obvious move next week

  15. Dosh
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A. Werner + Son
    B. Kane + Havertz

    1. diabydoesgallas
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A. Just

      1. Dosh
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I really like B but scared of Werner ownership

        1. diabydoesgallas
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Go with your gut mate!

    2. james 101
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Werner and Havertz?

      Werner and Alli?

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A. Gives you a nice 0.5m to upgrade elsewhere as well!

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

      Impossible to choose at this point

    5. Dank Squid
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I know two long-lived companies named Werner & Son, seems to be a successful combo.

  16. diabydoesgallas
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    TAA + Robertson locked in for the season. Let’s go!

    1. The 12th Man
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      same here. well until the first WC anyway.

      Any thoughts of the triple up with VVD?

      1. diabydoesgallas
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Personally no.. the heartbreak when you lose 3 clean sheets thanks to a deflected goal is too much!

        1. Ser Davos
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          but the weeks when it pays off. Impossible to get green every week

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

      Same here but going Salah less

    3. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, as long as Robbo reaches 180 he's a great pick.

  17. JURGENAUT
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Will these guys start?

    A) Doherty
    B) Mitchell
    C) Vinagre

    1. Mother of Lucas

  30. Danstoke82
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Hi all, quick question;

    Which keeper combo?

    A) Ramsdale + 4.0
    B) McCarthy + Ryan rotation

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      a

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

      B if there’s a Covid positive you are covered be careful of Ryan could be a Martinez bid from Brighton

    3. Salah_Fingers
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A

    4. JELLYFISH
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldn’t get Ryan...Brighton have bid for Martínez by all accounts
