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)

    5 years, 3 months ago

    RMT:

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Doherty
    Salah Auba Perez ASM
    Werner Adams Mitro

    Steer Mitchell Bissouma Taylor

    GW2: Salah & Perez > Rashford & Son / Bruno & Alli
    GW3: Auba > KDB

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

      Template mostly so overall good

      Like Perez as a punt

      Doherty might not play first week

      1. Galza
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Is this Doherty not starting just hearsay, or is there any substance...?

        1. Barnabus
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          he's not played for spurs in preseason yet, played for ireland though so must have some level of match fitness.

          1. Galza
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks a lot.
            I thought there was more to it.

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

          Educated conclusions I suppose

          Mourinho gave nothing away at presser
          Doherty was away with Ireland didn’t play well according to fans
          Prob hasn’t trained much with the spurs team, no preseason there
          Aurier is still at the club think he will play instead given Doherty doesn’t seem settled

          That’s my opinion tho 🙂 I think he will start just not yet

          1. Galza
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers Quen.
            I do have bench cover, but just seems a bit of a waste.

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

              Yeah his good choice if he plays

              Could be doherty > 4.5 Brewster > 6m striker

    2. GE
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Hit in GW2, no no

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      It’s good- not so keen on Pérez but at price point probably one of better choices.

      1. Barnabus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        it's really him or JWP for a 1 week punt and I already have Adams from Southampton

    4. Hay Number 2
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Nice but a few punts in there for me, but I’m playing safe....

  2. jimmyabs1987
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    McCarthy
    TAA, Doherty, Egan (Mitchell, Vinagre)
    Auba, Barnes, ASM, Havertz (Bissouma)
    Kane, Werner, DCL

    1. kennethrhcp

      1. jimmyabs1987

        Yes I like it!!

  3. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Team now set- gtg? 0.5 m in bank for Ings to Martial. Template I guess but safe I hope to get decent start and flexible.

    McCarthy
    TAA Dier Justin
    Salah (c) Aubamayang Alli ASM Soucek
    Werner Ings

    Button KWP Davis Taylor

    1. Heiro

      Why Ali over Son

      1. dunas_dog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Would like him but not sure how to get the 1 m without weakening team oversll

        1. dunas_dog
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          * overall

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Looks good. Very similar to mine...would love son over Ali but just can’t stretch

    3. Salah_Fingers
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Great team more or less same as mine, I'm locking mine in now I've seen someone with the same/similar

  4. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    If you had to sacrifice one, who would it be?

    Auba
    Werner

    1. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Werner

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Werner

    3. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Werner. Auba 1st 2 games too good to not have him

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks all

    4. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Cmon man

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        It’s harder than it looks, Werner is 2.5m less - that extra money can do wonders.

    5. F4L
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Would want Auba for first 2, would want Werner long term

  5. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Pick 2 out of

    Alli

      • 15 Years

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        there was a picture going around showing pepe in starting lineup.

        https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EhqCyxHWoAAPJDR?format=jpg&name=small

        Nothing more than that but people stating it will be him and laca playing striker

  8. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Vinagre or holding?

    1. Iftekhar Mahmud Tonmoy

      5 years, 3 months ago

      Holding

  9. S.Kuqi
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Any mid for 6.0 or less who is better option than Mitro?

    1. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      dont think so

    2. DontPiqueTooSoon
      • 6 Years

      JWP

  10. Sanchit
    • 10 Years

  11. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    with Mo's old school league & Hay Number 2 popping up it got me thinking: any one seen Evs around here anytime recently?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not have been here in ages

      comfortably B

  13. ADucksBehind
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Calum Wilson & James Rodriguez
    Or
    Son & Saka

    To make the starting 11?

  14. FCSB
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Pretty much final dilemma:

    1. Egan Davies ASM Brewster (442)
    2. Vinagre KWP Soucek Mitrovic (or other 6.0) (343)

    Thanks, and good luck all

    1. ADucksBehind
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      1 by a distance

  15. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    It is coming to the wire. Which combo is better lads?

    A) Salah Van Dijk Vinagre Bissouma (Michel starts)

    B) Son Dier Saiss Havert (Michel on the bench)

    Please advise

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years

      A

    2. kennethrhcp

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        thanks, Kuqi, thanks, Kenneth. It's an unbalanced team but no Salah is risky

        anyone for Son and Havertz instead?

        1. S.Kuqi
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Got both Dalah and Havertz but no Son for me

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      VVD is a legend, such an exciting player to own...

    4. mo 10 years on FFS? Join my…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I'd go B all day with Davies instead of Dier

  16. Garfield1001
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Pick one:

    A) Son, ASM, Doherty + £1m
    B) Salah, Soucek, 4.5 defender

    Thanks

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I like Salah since Doherty might not start from the beginning. i have a similar dilemma with Salah, see above

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        Why do people keep saying Doherty wont start.......has something been said ?? What's the source ??

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          5 years, 3 months ago

          Fans think Aurier will start GW1

          1. jimmyabs1987
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 3 months ago

            I’m a fan and I don’t, no way Jose won’t play Doherty

  17. Ron_Swanson

    KDB votes for Ings to win PFA player of the year

    1. Ron_Swanson

    2. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      City players love a tactical vote. Silly and petty

  18. Mike2795647
    • 11 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Son & 6m defender (likely Doherty) or VVD and Havertz

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      A to start with I think.

      1. kennethrhcp
        • 15 Years
        5 years, 3 months ago

        ^this

    2. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I like the latter honestly but its certainly close and i think depends more on what you think of Havertz vs Son than what you think of the defenders

  19. Ballistics
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone going no LFC players all season?

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Surely that’s impossible to answer

    2. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Historically an FPL-winning strategy

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      😆

  20. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 12 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Hey all, I'd really appreciate the help with this one:

    Backline is TAA-Robertson-Shaw-XX-Ferguson*

    Have a spot for a 4.5. Right now i've got KWP slotted in there because he's most assured of starts from the 4.5s I think are most desirable. Justin's place I don't think is safe enough to justify the outlay but Vinagre is really intriguing me as he could come in and rotate quite well for United's bad fixtures and cover shaw.

    Am I having a laugh if I'm thinking Vinagre will be able to hold his spot for the foreseeable future? Is it best then to stick with KWP if i'm not planning an early WC and want to just set and forget my backline. Many thanks!

  21. WD27
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Willian expected to start? 8m to spend in MF

    1. Ron_Swanson
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah should start

    2. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Should do

    3. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      take the gamble. 20mins could still mean points

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      Not judging by rumours.

  23. TAT
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 3 months ago

    Below is my current team. What I just found out I can do, is Doherty > Egan, then next GW do Mitro > Martial if I want to keep Ings. Will that be too top heavy?

    An additional dilemma: should I be more worried about not owning Son or Ings ?

    McCarthy
    TAA - Vinagre - Doherty
    Soucek - ASM - Aubameyang - Salah
    Werner - Mitrovic - Ings
    (Button - Mitchell - Bissouma - Ayling)

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 3 months ago

      I like this team
      I would start with Egan or Davies instead of Doherty and if you can stomach it, start with Martial instead of Mitro and bench him GW1

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

        I recon Spurs will be good fixtures wise, but the amount of fixtures worries me. Safe to assume Davies will be an alright pick for the first two-three gameweeks? If going with a 5.0 def over Doherty, I can definitely see myself bringing in and benching Martial.

  24. Georgeyboy33

    Thoughts on this?

    McCarthy, Nyland
    TAA, Justin, KWP, Holding, Mitchell
    Auba, Salah, Havertz, Soucek, Bissouma
    Werner Kane Davis

        With quality around him, I'd go DCL.

    3. Dank Squid

      DCL. Scored a few in preseason, proving he can still do it. Should get some service. GW 2-4 fixtures look tasty.
