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)

    Non-template RMT. Any views?

    Mccarthy, nyland
    Taa, dier, awb, reece james, mitchell
    Auba, keita, saka, asm, doucoure
    Kane, Werner, vardy

    I’ll call it Big at the front, big at the back, upside chasing, anti-price point strategy (BaTFBATBUCAPPS) if it works

    1. Herman Toothrot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Reece James is going to be in plenty of teams before long.

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

        Hope so. It was more the 7 £5m - 5.5m players across def and mids that Was why I said it was different.

      2. timPgoodwin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

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

          Not entirely sure but he could be immense value and if he isn’t then I’ve loads of other £5m ish players who can play. He can then stick on the bench without me needing to transfer him given low-ish value

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

      Very similar to mine.

    3. UnitedFan
      • 8 Years

  10. nach248
    • 7 Years

  13. UnitedFan
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    2 quick questions:

    Boly or Tierney as set and forget?

    Ferguson likely to be a starter for Palace when he returns?

  14. Pedersen
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Martial or Havertz? Having Bruno and Werner already (gw2)

  15. Delph & Safety
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    How many times is everyone captaining Salah during the 1st six GWs?

    Maybe once, twice, is he worth it for that price?

    Or am I just overthinking..,.

    1. Fudgy
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Just because you won't captain him doesn't mean he won't score goals

      1. Delph & Safety
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Good point.

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

      Don't be misled by FDR alone.

      Pool vs CHE & ARS will be high scoring matches and I think Salah may have less than 50% EO which would make him a nice "differential".

  16. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Seen Lukaku threw his toys out of the cot over his Fifa rating 😆

  17. amonito
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    1. Lascelles Mane (KDavies) in 3-5-2 (with Soucek)
    or
    2. Doherty Son Nketiah in 3-4-3 (if Nketiah doesn't play, Soucek covers him)

  18. Alisson WondHaaland
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    With the news Bruno could be in quarantine (and hence miss GW2), looking to take him out and shift funds:

    Mccarthy Steer
    Trent Davies Justin Ayling Ferguson
    Salah Auba ASM Bissouma (Bruno)
    Mitro Werner Adams

    What changes would you make?

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

    A Alli Soucek Dier or
    B Son Bissouma Ayling/4.5

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

      * or C Havertz Bissouma Dier

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

      B out of those

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

      mate what do you think if this? Not tempted by Kane? easy switch to any other striker too?

      Steer Mccarthy
      TAA Justin Doherty Vinagre 4.0
      Auba Salah ASM Soucek 4.5
      Kane Werner Adams?

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

        To be honest there is a lot of value in mids priced 7.5 to 9.5m. I would rather have an Alli/Son/Havertz as a price point to jump on form mids. Plenty forwards 6- 7 m to move about that could do well.

  20. HaffNanner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Fed up of worrying about terrible 4.5 defs so ended up with this. Thoughts?

    Ramsdale
    Trent Robertson Doherty Saiss
    Auba Salah Pereira
    Werner Calvert-Lewin Adams

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I like it a lot! Heavy defence tempts me

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago
