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)

    Is Vinagre gonna start?

  8. Free Hat
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Lot of 5.5 with ASM and Armstrong.

    But after gw1 a fully fit Gudmundsson seems interesting as well.

    1. Birds of Prey
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Man, been there and got Gud and burned. Odd how many good 5.0-5.5 options but then nothing until 7.0, and even then just Mount and Grealish unless I missed someone. Brady was good to me once upon a time.GL to u.

      1. Free Hat
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, just really like him and Mcneil for value.
        They can tick along nicely when right.
        But for the moment still on ASM.
        Thx, GL as well!

    RP

    2 quick questions:

    Boly or Tierney as set and forget? Or maybe Digne?

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

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

      Boly

      Maybe, but not convinced

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Coady to save £0.5m and then you don't have to worry about Ferguson as you can upgrade.

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

    Any idea when the the man united and man city missing games are likely to be played?

    1. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Next year.

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

    Who is the cheapest striker who will get some game time?

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

      Bamford 5.5m Leeds

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

    Think I am happy with my team now finally! Might switch Vinegar to a different condiment though.

    McCarthy Martin
    TAA Doherty Vinagre Ferguson Mitchell
    Salah (C) Auba Ali Soucek ASM
    Werner DCL Mitrovic

    Look okay? Cheers

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      downgrade soucek and find someone to rotate with vinagre or get a spurs defender

      1. Qaiss
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        ignore the latter, so tired and didnt notice doherty

        1. Bob.
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Its getting late! Will have to swap Vinagre out whenever he stops starting but happy enough to start like that for now

          1. Qaiss
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            i know but if Vinagre is benched then you are screwed.

            1. Bob.
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              One of the Palace boys should step in then

  14. hankscorpion

    RMT:

    McCarthy (Steer)

    TAA KWP Justin (Dallas Mitchell)

    1. imtheboss

      Double up on Soton def could be troublesome! Other than that, looks decent!

  15. Wings Fan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Where to spend my 0.5m, if anywhere?

    Mccarthy - 4.0

    TAA - KWP - Justin - White - Mitchell

    Auba - Salah - Alli - ASM - Reed

    Werner - Ings - Mitrovic

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

      Spend in GW2.

  16. Boss Hogg
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    ASM
    or JWP

    ???

  17. beetlejuice
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Decided to ditch Mitrovic;

    Nketiah or DCL?

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

      DCL

    2. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'd stick with Mitrovic rather than either of those.

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

        Don't like the fixtures.
        DCL has good fixtures and Nketiah has high ceiling and good GW2 fixture which is important.

        1. Snevitz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Nketia averaged 2.6 ppg during the restart and he still beats DCL.

        2. Yank Revolution
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Fixtures are above avg.

      2. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Agree with this

    3. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      DCL

  18. Skengzema

    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Here we go we're leeds United
    We're gonna give the boys a hand
    Stand up and sing for Leeds United
    We are the greatest in the land

    Everyday, we're all gonna say, we love you leeds, leeds, leeds
    Everywhere, we're gonna be there, we love you leeds, leeds, leeds
    Marching on together
    We're gonna see you win
    We are so proud
    We shout it out loud
    We love you leeds leeds leeds

    What a time to be a fan at 40 years of age. It's been emotional in more ways than one and the few hairs i have left will be standing on end tomorrow at kick off. Wouldn't be possible without Bielsa, what an amazing character. It's been an amazing 2 seasons in the championship, hope all of you who haven't seen any live games enjoy this mad genius.

    Leeds are premier league.

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

      Hey Leeds fan... who is better:

      Ayling or Dallas?

      1. Gunners in Haaland
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Ayling

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

          Thanks!

      2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Not much in it mate. Dallas might get some time OOP later on in the season but personally I prefer Dallas goal scoring threat

        1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          *Ayling

    2. D-Fens
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      This is gonna be one hell of a ride! MOT

  22. Totti

    why brewster is appearing in many teams now?

    any news am i missing?

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Wondered the same

  23. Irish Villan 1985
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Son & Antonio

    Or...

    Kane & Soucek

    Thanks.

  24. TAT
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Which team looks better: the Martial team or the strong mid team?
    The strong mid team allows me to own Son, but leaves my defence very cheap…

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

    McCarthy
    TAA - Walker-Peters - Vinagre
    Aubameyang - Havertz - Salah - Son - Soucek
    Werner - Adams
    (Button - Mitchell - Ayling - Davis)

  25. L S P
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Last decision (I think):

    A) McCarthy + Justin
    B) Ryan + KWP

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A

  26. Kodap
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Pen down, what we thinking with this final draft?

    McCarthy
    TAA - Justin - Saliba
    Salah - Auba - Son - Soucek - ASM
    Werner - Ings

    Subs: Button, Mitchell, Brewster, Taylor.

    0.5m Itb for Ings > Martial GW2.

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Nice!

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

      Decent for short term.

      Justin, Salbia and Mitchell will probably all not be 100% starters though in a few weeks time and making defensive transfers is never optimum?

      As you only will need 3/4 at the back, maybe trim some money off Son (Havertz/Alli) and improve the defense?

      Agreed, and even some videos are old, I am sure they changed a lot..I see Ziyech in the team with no injury
