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)

    I only just noticed the content of this article.

    Effectively paying for team reveals, the game's gone absolutely mad.

    1. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I retract this. I didn't realise there were YouTube videos, they didn't appear (I assume my page didn't load properly).

      Apologies.

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 13 Years

        you have to pay for team reveals on FFHub which is absolutely bonkers, who on earth is paying to see this?!

        1. goriuanx
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Might as well pay people to do your team at this rate

          1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I am sure there is a service for that

    2. Catastrophe

      😀

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      it's gone bonkers. Maybe some ego there, people thinking others actually care what they are doing...

      1. Catastrophe
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        those 10 teams would basically be a combination of all the players in and out of our drafts the last week!

        1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I kind of get the site doing free youtube content not that I personally am interested in peoples videos teams there must be people that are at this stage of the season.

          Other sites are only allowing people to see team reveals if you are a member or to pay for sign up. Absurd, who actually cares so much to pay to see someones team. Definitely feeding some egos there

    4. Blue&White85

      • 8 Years

      Thought the same in honesty.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        well it depends on the conversion rate. if some lads are willing to pay for team reveals that's it

    5. SADIO SANÉ
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      anything that encourages copying is not great in my book - a load of shite players will be a lot better this season

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I'm assuming if lateriser does really well so do about 5k others right there

    6. Blitzar
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I was very eager to see the team Darren Wiles has chosen to begin with.
      But unfortunately it's only for Members......

    7. noquarternt
      • 8 Years

      Just awful isn’t it.

  2. Danstoke82

    Really don’t know whom to captain, what’s the general consensus?

    A) Auba
    B) Salah
    C) Werner

    1. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      cant go wrong with A or B - down to luck.

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Im quite surprised at Salah being a distant second in the poll to Auba

      B

        Cheers all B it is

      is it a Scout slowly revealing their Team?

    Last minute shuffle based on no Werner...

    Johnstone
    Tierney Justin KWP
    Aubameyang (c) Salah Son JamRod Havertz
    Wilson Adams

    Button Mitrovic Egan Dallas

    1. soup natsi
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      why no werner? and why jamrod who prob needs five months to be match fit

    2. Catastrophe
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      no werner no....urgh

      I think you should put him back in

    3. Root
      • 12 Years

      It's definitely different.

    4. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

  9. nico05
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is Vinagre again looking like a decent selection? Or should i use my spare 0.5 to upgrade him to someone else?
    Current defence is
    McCarthy-TAA-Doherty-Mitchell
    Cheers

  10. mattk lfc
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Going without Auba just seems to enable such an upgrade in the team and £12m on a player I won't captain seems insane

    McCarthy
    TAA Digne Doherty Egan
    Salah (c) Son Havertz ASM
    Werner Ings

    Nyland - KWP Bissouma Brewster

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Get Auba. he will get 200 pts this year unless there is an injury

    2. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Without him as captain in GW2 you'll be sweating. Then bin him for KDB GW3.

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Agreed.
      Digne, Doherty -> Robbo, Davies?

  11. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A) JWP
    B) Doucoure
    C) ASM

    1. FPL Daniel

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years

    Salah needs to show us tomorrow that he is in decline and to blank asap

    1. soup natsi

      1. FPL Daniel

      • 7 Years

      No...but DCL

    2. Puncheon Guly

      Neither. Everton suck

    3. kevchenko
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      DCL

      Worse player, but 1.0 cheaper and the man they'll all be aiming the ball at.....

  18. kevchenko
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Looking to better my 3rd place finish from 14/15 - as if!

    I'm going for this:

    McCarthy (Button)
    TAA, Robbo, Saliba (Egan, KWP)
    Auba, Havertz, Saka, Soucek (Bissouma)
    Vardy, Werner, DCL

    1.0 ITB to be able to 'react'

    That could be a blank from either Vardy / Werner (to Martial) OR Havertz to Rashford.....

    If they perform well though I'll try and roll the transfer for GW3 which is a huge week, where I'll want Wolves and City players in. I'll almost certainly want Saliba and Saka out then....

    In GW2 Egan would come in for Soucek and I'll be 4-3-3.

    I see Saka and Saliba as a two week gamble....I am toying with ASM over Saka - I'll be switching Saliba out for a Wolves defender (to rotate with Soucek over the season)

    Any thoughts appreciated 🙂

    1. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Really like this. Arsenal punts may not come off but good cover and I think ASM overrated anyway

  19. KaBoZ: Kids,don't Drin…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best combo?
    A) Son + Wilson
    B) Kane + Saint Maximin
    C) Alli + Wilson + 1m to upgrade elsewhere (needed)
    D) Alii + Ings

    1. KGFC
      • 7 Years

      A
      D
      C
      B

  20. KGFC
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any Leeds fan around?

    Which is a better pick in terms of goal+assist threat?

    1. Ayling
    2. Dallas

    1. D-Fens
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think Ayling but it's close

    2. CC22
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      It's very tough! Ayling is probably slightly more secure of starts, and also has very good attacking potential. But the left back spot is probably Dallas' to lose, and in addition Bielsa loves him and plays him all over the pitch so he could feasibly get some occasional game time further forward in midfield/on the wing. I think both will do well over the season to be fair.

  21. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A) Egan & Havertz

    I'm thinking perhaps Adams for Mitro?
    Or other suggestions?

    I am probably going with this. Good luck to all - but not too much! 😉

    GW 1:

    Something old, something new,
    Something borrowed, something blue,
    A silver sixpence in her shoe.

    McCarthy
    Alexander-Arnold, Digne, Holding
    Aubameyang, Son, Pulisic, Ward-Prowse,
    Kane, Calvert-Lewin, Adams

      Seriously, what did you do with Doosra because that is a decent looking team

      I have a feeling sixpence will be great value this season. Not sure about old, he is getting on a bit.

      The rest looks great

          Good team. I really don't think that you ought to have Bruno on the bench.

          1. FPL Daniel
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            I want to save a transfer and have that 1.5m in play (Salah - Bruno). So be it. You can't have them all. No Salah is the main decision. Time will tell

  30. Big boy Bowen

    Best 4.5 keeper barring McCarthy?

    1. Big boy Bowen
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Preferably set and forget

      Ryan

    3. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

      ryan or leeds keeper

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        You’ve just made me think, Leeds keeper could be great for save points against pool!

      2. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Just checking, Meslier is first choice right?

    4. WVA
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What about Johnstone!?

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Possibly, not sure West Brom is a punt too far though
