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)

      Good night
      I’m signing off.
      I’ve had enough of Son or Havertz!
      Good luck

        Son all day long. Havertz has barely played yet.

  2. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A) Wilson, ASM & Egan (KWP, Mitchell, (fodder)).
    B) Wilson, Mitrovic & Taylor (KWP, Mitchell, Bissouma)

    1) Egan (Bissouma) (4-4-2)
    2) Soucek (Taylor) (3-5-2)

    Dallas or Ayling?

    1. Coys96
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Dallas

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

        Would like one of them as cover for Saiss vs. City.

    2. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I’ve switched to Ayling. More nailed and his stats were based off less games due to injury. I’m keeping my eye on Dallas though as he has played OOP before.

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

      Im going for Ayling. Leeds fans are saying he's the better pick

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

      Difficult to separate. Think Ayling has a playmaking role effectively whilst Dallas always has a role in the team somewhere, sometimes in midfield

  4. Coys96
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    1) Redmond & 4.5
    2) Doucoure & ASM

  5. DontPiqueTooSoon

    Open to comments - Salah less approach. 0.5ITB

    Joshua Bull fpl declared winner 2019/2020 - discuss maths and fpl.
    Has a dry sense of humour as well. I enjoyed it and don't even like Maths!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzEuweGrHvc

    Amused me some good bits in it captain player on fixture - transfer on form.
    I got to be honest and thought no Maths algorithm in the world would have predicted how he won!

        Exactly! Fecking Mathematicians and champion Chess players. People who enjoy stuff like that for fun!
        If I played for 1000 years I don't think I would even come close to winning fpl now. I am a gut player instinct! No chance.

  11. SomeoneKnows
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Any suggestions for a 9.5 max 1 week midfielder punt?

    Currently on Son but thinking perhaps Barnes?

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

      Stick with Son!

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I think I am settled.

    Only need to decide between

    A) Salah and Soucek and Bolly or
    B) Son and Havertz and Saiss

    hmmm...

    Please share your opinion. Thanks,

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

      Salah Soucek and Saïss

    2. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Thats tough
      I have Salah

      But when you present this.... I'd say B

      But ........... if you have Werner.....? ,maybe not

    3. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'm on B

    4. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      B outscores I would say

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        B outscores but Salah will be captain for many in GW1

  13. Pat Bonner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What’s this premium membership? Thought ffs would be making enough from all the plugs for gambling sites

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      it's amazing. support the site.

      1. Pat Bonner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        I’ve been a member for 10 years, is that not enough

      2. Hay Number 2
        • 12 Years

        Sold I’m in

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

    A) Justin + Willian + Ings
    B) Doherty + Son + Adams

    A gives me more flexibility.

    1. FPL Daniel

      Willian not nailed

      You could go Davies to save money

    3. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Easy B

  15. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Is Vinagre a starter?

    I have Taylor, but still have 0.5 spare

    Reluctant to go for KWP as I have McCarthy in the sticks.....

    Whats the thoughts? I could go Saiss I guess

    Also have Justin back there too. Is there a 4.5 I am missing out on?

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

      I always goes with best option regardless of double up. So kwp

  16. Tempestic
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Does anyone know where this shout for Podence starting LWB/LW over Vinagre has come from? Why has it not come up before and is it likely?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      it's a risk afterall. i sold vinagre

    2. Klaren
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      He might start LW if they play 5-2-3 but LWB is nonsense. It was one of the first teams I looked at in the team news and stopped looking as soon as I saw Podence there.

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

        Surely Vinagre would still play then in 5 at the back no?

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

    A) Robertson & ASM + 0.5

    B) Saiss & Alli

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years

    Gah. Thought I was done. What’s this about Brighton about to but Martinez?

    1. Bourbon, Pot Still or Islay…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Eh?

      Ditching Ryan? Surely not. He's decent

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Brighton?

      There's loads of teams with right ropey keepers, but they aren't one of them.

    So stressed out feel miserable. No doubt Salah punishes me deservedly tomorrow.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      sell son and get him then

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

        I don't own Son

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

      stressed out for what? just pick a team you are comfortable with and enjoy the rest of your evening.

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

        True I stopped enjoying fpl ages ago

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

          I think you need to put things into perspective. There are a million things more important than FPL.

          FPL is supposed to enhance your enjoyment of the game. If it fills you with dread and fear no good. Try to distance yourself away from the game, focus on things you are looking forward into the day less FPL related. I used to feel like this, I took a step back 2-3 seasons ago. It helps greatly, I still play the game but I am now less emotionally invested in the game

          1. George Sillett
            • 8 Years

    3. FleckyT
      • 6 Years

      Get some quality sleep. Put salah back in your squad and sleep tight. Set your alarm and take salah out again.

  26. Atimis

    Go for:

    1. 352 Soucek
