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)

      dunno, but he's not guaranteed to be ahead of Ward even when he is

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Double Saints defence not ideal

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yay

  5. gauzah
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Tempted to bottle Vardy pick. Werner has 50% ownership almost. If Vardy flops and Werner goes nuts I will be in deep water.

    1. BENOIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      jVardz for me. Proven

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

        He is going to score surely!

    2. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      You can always have both 😀

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      If Vardy has a party & Werner fluffs it you will be sailing & Werner will be firesale

    4. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Be brave. Go Vardy

  6. Klaren

    McCarthy
    TAA Tierney Justin Vinagre
    Salah Auba Son Soucek

    (Steer, Bissouma, Ayling, Vassilev)

    Any ideas on where to find 0.5 in this team?

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

      One of the 4.5 def to Mitchell

  7. Will J 256

    Salah, Son, Auba, Havertz, Soucek
    Werner, Mitrovic

    Walton, Ferguson, Brewster, C Taylor

  8. Mackans

    Thoughts on my team??

    McCarthy
    Trent Justin KWP
    Salah Auba Son Havertz Soucek
    Werner Adams

    Bench: Steer, Dallas, Mitchell, Davis

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

      Nice team. Defence is a bit light but mid and forwards are great

  9. LFC4EVER
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    In DRAFT leauge, Pick 2:

    1. Greenwood
    2. Van De Beek
    3. Mount

    Already got Werner and Pulisic.

    Cheers

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

      No other UTD assets? Then those 2 surely

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

      1

      1. FortunesAlwaysHiding
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        1

  10. C'mon the Fylde
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    How does my team look?

    McCarthy
    TAA VVD KWP
    ASM Soucek Salah Aubameyang Son
    Mitrovic Werner

    Nyland, Mitchell, Douglas, Wickham

    1.5m itb

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

      Don't fancy double Soton defence myself, would go with Justin/Vinagre. Liverpool double up in defence for me too. Rest is solid

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

    Thoughts?
    0itb. Would you change Greenwood to Soucek and play him over Justin? Would leave me with 2.5itb so can get any ManCity or ManUtd player next week.

    Johnstone
    TAA Robbo Vinagre Justin
    Salah Son Pulisic
    Jimenez Richarlison Nketiah

    Button Mitchell Bissouma Greenwood

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

      Looks good. You confident on Nketiah? Tempted to go for him over mitro

    2. stat sifter 888888
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Like the differentials fellow canary and yellah'. Vinagre (in particular with Marcal) and Nketiah are gambles though. Like Everton but will Rich get as many as DCL if DCL is further up the pitch? I would also tentatively suggest Adams instead of Nketiah but up to you. I reckon Pulisic might come off the bench but long-term it's a great pick that I agree with instead of the Werner cover that I have rn. However, does have a lot of potential.

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

    Sack it....think im locked in.
    Decided im not stressing about planning transfers for Gw2 or 3 as every yeat we all do the same and it goes balls up.
    So conceding myself to wildcard Gw2.

    As such, my GW1 team is

    Mccarthy
    TAA KWP Bavies
    MO (A)uba Havertz Alli Keita
    Werner Antonio

    Peacock Buur Mitchell Vasilev.

    Rolling with it....see you all on the other side 🙂

    1. Hay Number 2
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Welcome to my every season

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

        same story every year....plan transfers for 4 weeks or so then BAM! Week one someone hauls and its back 5obthe drawing board. Feels better if you just accept the early wildcard 🙂

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

      Your bench worries me.

      1. Hay Number 2
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed

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

        not bothered with my bence as its a one week team....im 85% sure im WC'ing saturday afternoon

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

    Some pretty ropey teams from the experts there, IMO

    There's hope for us all yet...

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

      I know, not a single one of the picked Lucas Moura.

    2. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      That's because they aint experts 😉

  14. dshv
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Last push g2g?

    Mccarthy (nyland)
    Taa davies justin (taylor mitchell)
    Sala son auba soucek asm
    Werner callum (davis)

    Gw2 Son to bruno 1.5
    Gw3 Auba/salah to kdb

    Have 0.5 itb, opinions please

  15. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Go for 352 (Soucek) or 442 (Egan)? Or maybe 343 with Mitro over ASM?

    McCarthy/4.0
    TAA/Davies/Viangre/X/X
    Salah/Auba/Son/ASM/X
    Werner/Ings/X

  16. threeputt

    A. Rudiger 5.0

      C. James

  17. Teror
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Have I gone too big in defense? playing 442

    TAA - Saiss - Dier - Taylor - Dallas

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

      looks good for 442

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

      That defence isn't good enough to be starting 3 alongside TAA every week imo

    3. pingissimus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Decent

  18. OLLY G
    • 7 Years

    Is this team GTG ?

    Mcarthy ( Steer )

    TAA - Saliba - Davies ( Shaw, Mitchell )

    Salah - Auba - Son - ASM ( Bissouma )

    Werner - DCL - Mitrovic

  20. The Left Duke #3

    McCarthy (Button)
    TAA Davies Saiss (Mitchell Taylor)

    Looking good or any tweeks?

    1. Francescoli

      I like the Saka punt

  21. FortunesAlwaysHiding
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Fabio Silva...one for the future or likely to feature regularly?

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

      future probably

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

      future. Expect Jimmy's minutes to be hurt this year though.

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

      No way he will score well this season. Too young and Nuno doesn't tinker much. Sub appearances at best.

  22. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A) Havertz and Soucek
    B) Alli and ASM

    1. Manani

  24. SADIO SANÉ

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

    Have a £4.0m (mitchell) and £0.5m itb or have a £4.5m (taylor/ lamptey)? Others are taa, awb, dier and james.

    I do have 4 x £5.5m mids so there will lots of rotation based on fixtures. Auba, Vardy, kane, werner, taa as premiums being the goal I’ve backsolved.

    Anyway £4.0m and money ITB? Yay or nay?

    1. jam sandwich
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      dont do 4x5.5 rotating mids please - go for 1/2 tops, 2 big hitters and a 4.5/5

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

    How nailed on is Saliba?

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

      70% of the time he is nailed, every time.

  27. Hay Number 2
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone else annoyed that the Manchester clubs ain’t playing this weekend

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

      No

      Adds to the fun.

  28. Jones Town
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    If having a 4.5 striker, which is the best one do people reckon?

    1. Hay Number 2
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Doesn’t matter they’re all going to score extremely low, bench warmers

  29. Tabbara

    McCarthy Button
    Saiss Taylor TAA Mitchell Justin
