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)

    Why do people not fancy Greenwood?

    1. Mother of Lucas
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not my type hun

    2. Ballistics
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Will probably miss GW2

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

      Not playing wk 1, might be quarantined or punished?

    4. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He's in my team.

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

      Not got a game and training on his own

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

      United seem pretty determined to buy Sancho to bench/rotate him

    7. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Other than those girls in Iceland you mean?

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

      I do, but not from the start. But I already got a plan to get him in.

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

      They're jealous..
      Of not getting those .... 😀

    10. Optimus.
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Too young and virile for me

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Bring em old

  2. mrtapio
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What are their chances of starting GW1:
    A) Pulisic
    B) Havertz

    1. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      35
      80

    2. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      45
      95

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

      30
      90

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

      Pulisic- 50%
      Havertz- 95%

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

    McCarthy (Button)
    TAA, KWP, Justin, Mitchell (Taylor)
    Salah, Auba, Son, Havertz (Bissouma)
    Werner, Mitrovic (Brewster)

    0.5 ITB so I can do:
    GW2 Son > Rashford

    Solid plan? Any suggestions for improvement?

  4. Weasel51
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A) Salah + DCL

    B) Havertz/Pulisic + Kane

    Thanks

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A

  5. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Do you think Saiss can be risked for the first 8-10gws or better to get Coady?

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

      Way more upside with Saïss so I’d go with him every time

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

        This

  6. Manani
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    those stats since restart looks pretty convincing for Adams. Might switch out Mitrovic for him last minute

  7. Kristobal
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Thoughts on Bellerin?

    Arsenals first choice RWB?

    1. Mother of Lucas
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Beautiful player and an even more beautiful person.
      I love his compassion for animals and his passion for the environment x x x

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

        What you been smoking

        1. Mighty Banana
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          That's more than smoke going on there.

        2. Mother of Lucas
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Smoke is bad for the environment :/

  8. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Martinez not travelled with Arsenal squad. Transfer imminent it seems.

    1. el polako
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not travelled where ? On the Tube ?

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

      London traffic isn't the best and wouldn't have imagined they would have to travel overnight for a 30-40 minute drive.

  9. Easy Cheesy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Why no predicted line up? Surely the most useful week to have it up to date?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      too busy making youtube videos unveiling teams

  10. ElliotJHP
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Draft so money no object !

    A Doucoure
    B Fleck
    C Harrison
    D Klich

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A

  11. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    The fact is no one knows who will perform best tomorrow. I'm playing it safe and gone for Werner for the massive ownership and Auba as captain because of the big lead he has in the poll.

    I'm giving proven points scorers Vardy and Jimenez places in my team and gambling Vinagre will play.

    1. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Good shout
      Do you know where this shout for Podence starting LWB/LW over Vinagre has come from? Why has it not come up before and do you think its likely?

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Not sure. Podence normally plays further up.

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

      what does your midfield look like ?

      1. The Polymath
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Soucek, ASM with Salah and Auba
        Reed on the bench.

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

    Okay. Final team. Probably. Gtg?!!

    McCarthy.
    TAA Robbo Egan

    4. g40steve

      3 years, 7 months ago

      Got nine of those 😉

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

    Just took part in my main draft league. Ended up with
    Ederson,Leno
    VVD,Doherty,Davies,Dier,AWB
    Sterling,Rashford,Pulisic,Foden,Bowen
    Wood,Adams,Nkietah

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good!

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

        poor forwards but concentrated first picks on Sterling,Rashford and Pulisic.
        Think ill be playing one up front most weeks.

  14. waltzingmatildas
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Think I'm done. Too wimpy to go without mane. Hope Werner can wait until gw3.

      nice team. confident with Pulisic playing?

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Think he'll get some minutes, and he can do damage from the bench.
        Cheers! GL

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

      Is Pulisic fit?
      Would sway my team massively

      GL.

      I keep saying the same....

      McCarthy
      TTA, Davies, KWP
      Auba, Alli, Havertz, Rodriguez, Soucek
      Werner, Wilson

      Nyland, Martial, Mitchell, Taylor

  15. Better Call Paul
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Sheffield holding out for a rhin brewster transfer top of the wishlist, I may put his in as my 3rd striker and hope a transfer materialises

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

      Here's hoping

  16. Maddamotha
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Will Jusin start?

    1. Maddamotha
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Justin

    2. Better Call Paul
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      It’s looking more Likely yes

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

      Yes

  17. Razmataz
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Why have people gone off Vinagre?

    1. Better Call Paul
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Rotation risk

  18. Totalfootball
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Is oskar buur a starter ?

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

      Only if Traore is unavailable

  19. Optimus.
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I'm surprised Scoutpicks didn't have Bruno on the bench like loads on here have

    1. Duffy Dunk
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Haha true, it'd be funny seeing the "strategy" of paying a lot for a blanking player being promoted.

  20. Rhodes your boat
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Pick 2

    A) vinagre
    B) Justin
    C) holding

  21. sthelenslad92
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Who's the best 4.0 GK?

    1. Vazza
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      They are all likely to be non starters with the exception of Nyland/Steer (until either Heaton returns or Villa buy a new keeper). So take your pick mate.

  22. Duffy Dunk
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Have had Saiss for days but heard/read somewhere that he's not that nailed.
    What's the deal?

    1. Tempestic
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Pretty sure Marcal's a LCB not a LWB

  23. ADucksBehind
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Calum Wilson & James Rodriguez
    Or
    Son & Saka

    To make the starting 11

    1. Yes Don
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
