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)

      think pepe might start, that's the rumour

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

    Pulisic or Havertz? I know Pulisic isn't fully fit for GW1 to start but he'll be Chelsea's best asset IMO.

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

      Going with Havertz.

      Not sure can say Puli "will be" the best. Kai has amazing quality and so does Ziyech and Werner.
      Last season Puli was the best simply because Chelsea didn't have anyone of his quality in the team. Now there are 3 others. Its a wait and watch for verdict IMO.

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        this

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I have chosen Pulisic, So go Havertz. 😉

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

        Consider it done! 😉 GL.

          Good luck to you too, Berbs. I wish you a great Season. 🙂

    3. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I agree, I have havertz at the moment as he can play across many positions. I was surprised by his stats, I always thought he wasn't involved so much in the attacking play.

      I think if he starts he might get 60-70 mins which puts me off slightly

    4. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      pulisic is PL proven. I think with the current circumstances and those injured chelsea players thatdont feature Frankie will need him for sure in the starting lineup. I think he is gonna start

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        This.

    5. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not tempted by Mount?

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

      He will also be Chelsea's most injured asset

    7. pundit of punts
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Show us the team

    8. Flaming Flamingo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'd say Havertz is more likely to start but I would still go Pulisic. Will save you a transfer down the line, if nothing else

    9. Ser Davos
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Can you go botb Berbs? Think it'll pay off with patience

  5. PattBrofield
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A) Doherty and Mitchel
    B) Tierney and Vinagre (or other 4.5)

    1. Shark Team

      b with Justin

    3. Manani

      a is like 1.5m more expensive, I assume u mixed it up?

  7. abaalan
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    - If Soucek is on my bench this week i should just replace with a 4.5 mid?
    - Somehow ended up with 0.5 ITB (1M if i do above) - any suggestions?

    Mccarthy, 4.0
    TAA, Lascelles, Mitchell (Lamptey, Taylor)
    Auba, Son, Havertz, ASM, (Soucek)
    Kane, Werner, Adams

    1. Shark Team
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      great no Salah team. Improve your def by buying some Tottenham for Lamptey(not nailed plus difficult start)

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

      Yes, and buy a defender

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

      Yes, if you aren't playing Soucek home to Newcastle, no need to have him.

      He's in this week for me, then Sub 1 for the rest of his life until West Ham play some dross at home.

      I'd get a 5.0 defender in for Lascelles though, loads of good options 🙂

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

    Vinagre or Justin?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Justin, Vinagre could be benched but Justin will start most likely

    2. Indio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Justin

    3. Shark Team

      justin for the start

  9. Nightcrawler

    1. TONEY HONEY

      Barnes

  11. Shark Team
    • 6 Years

    Those of you who were not here asking for help before some days then it will be really difficult my friends now that the comments come and go VERY FAST

  12. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Just removed Havertz for Pulisic...

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

      will he start?

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      interesting, he is in contention. Maybe off the bench but who knows

    3. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Got a feeling you will regret that. Havertz is not having a return from injury 'managed'

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Think he will get 20-30 minutes though, Lamps needs him against Pool next gameweek

    Saliba or Holding?

    1. nico05

      Holding

    2. Nightcrawler

      Holdiba

    3. Pep Roulette

      I can't decide! It's so confusing!

  16. Leeroy357
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Any thoughts?

    McCarthy - (Nyland)
    TAA - Davies - Vinagre - Dallas - (Mitchell)
    Salah - Auba - Pulisic - Ward-Prowse - (Bissouma)
    Werner - Martial - (Davis)

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

      Like the Pulipick

  17. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Salah OR TAA?

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Trent

    2. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Neither,not differentials

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

      TAA

    4. TONEY HONEY
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Salah, I think TAA won't get near last season's statistics. Lack of KOP will affect him more.

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

      Depends if you have a good captain. TAA is the only player I had all last season and unless he gets injured he is probably the only player I have a this season as well.
      But if you want to captain one Salah averaged 8.2 points and TAA 6.2 at home last season.

  18. TONEY HONEY
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    After long hours of effort, this is the outcome. Would u pls RMT? Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks

    Mc Carthy
    TAA, R.James, Coleman (long term use)
    Auba, Salah, Son, Havertz, Barnes
    DCL, Mitrovic

    Extremely weak bench (Nyland, Mitchell, Douglas, Brewster) but transfers are for this, right? I can easily swap Barnes with a 5.5 and get a third forward etc.

    Thanks again

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

      James is not nailed
      Really like the rest tho!

      1. TONEY HONEY
        • 6 Years

        Thanks!

    2. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      James and also Coleman are not guaranteed starters imo, so you could struggle to get 11 out some weeks. I like their potential for sure, but James will definitely be rotated and I have a feeling Kenny is going to compete with Coleman for starts too. Other than that I like it.

      1. TONEY HONEY
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks so much. I have 10m for 2 defenders, who do u suggest?

  19. Slim25
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Best option to complete the team?
    A: Ings, Puli/Havertz & Son
    B: Salah, Alli & Adams

    McCarthy (Button)
    TAA, Egan, Davies (Shaw, 4.0m)
    Auba, *******,*******, Barnes (4.5m)
    Werner, ******, Mitro

    Cheers guys!

      1. Slim25
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Who starts out of Havertz & Pulisic

  20. FPLPiggy
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    is Matt Targett 100% nailed for villa?

    1. Phil's Stamps
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes, and he rotates well with Taylor too. I'd have him over Vinagre and Justin as I wouldn't want to waste a transfer on a 4.5 defender. You should pick KWP before him though.

  21. Skengzema
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    £17m on two strikers, who should I go for?
    (or £23m if I take away Mitrovic)

  22. WVA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Where is Martinez going? Villa, Brighton, somewhere else?

    1. The Count of Monte Cristo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldn't imagine Brighton as they are one of the few teams down there with a solid GK already.

      Ryan has been very good for them recently and don't think Martinez would go somewhere where he would not be guaranteed a start. Villa seems most logical.

  23. Burger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Pulisic likely to start GW1?

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

      50/50

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

        Thanks, seems too risky then

        1. The Count of Monte Cristo
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I'd say so but long-term he is a solid pick.

          Read earlier on this page for good discussion on this topic.

  24. Hairy Potter
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Still tinkering. Any thoughts on this for the first few GW?

    McCarthy, 4.0
    TAA, Saliba, KWP, Ayling, 4.0
    Salah, Auba, Mane, ASM, Soucek
    Ings, Wilson, 4.5

    Plan is Ings to Martial for GW2. Then WC in GW3 to get the team I want going forward.

  25. MrCloppity
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Any thoughts ?
    McCarthy
    TAA Robertson Walker-Peters Davis
    Auba Mane Saka ASM Son
    Werner

    Nyland, Mitchell, Wickham, Davis,

    GTG??

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Looks good. Saka might not be a guaranteed starter though.

  26. Mongreloid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Team reveal because I’m bang on trend:

    Mccarthy (Nyland)

    TAA, KWP, Justin, Davies (Mitchell)

    Auba, Salah, Son, ASM (Bissouma)

    Werner (Martial, Davies)

    Is the 4-5-1 enabling Martial 4-4-2 daft?

  27. Phil's Stamps
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Play

    A) Soucek
    B) Saiss

    1. Gazza2000

      Both?

    2. kevchenko

    Vaedy cap, Kane, timo werner VICE

    in own private league think this will total well

    1. Tinmen

      You loaded mate ?

  29. The Habib Beyes
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I'm not one to believe in the "covering" of teams, but if you had £6mil to spend on a striker, and you already had Ings, would you go Mitro or Adams?
