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)

  8. Begbie.
    • 10 Years

    Bottomed.

    Ryan, 4.0
    TAA, Mitchell, Saliba, Dallas, Taylor
    Salah, Sterling, Son, Greenwood, James Rodriguez
    Ings, Rodrigo, 4.5

    Thoughts? Fancy a 352 this year rather than my usual 343.

  9. ThorntonReed
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I have triple Southampton (McCarthy, JWP, Adams).

    JWP --> Pereira to mix it up?

    1. MoSalalalalalalalalah
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'd personally take out Adams. Only 6 goal involvements last season

      1. ThorntonReed
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Fair enough, but for who... Mitrovic?

  10. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Currently on A. Own Werner

    A) Pereira + Ings

    B) Havertz + Adams

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Mirkatldn
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A

  11. MoSalalalalalalalalah
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Think I'm done. Any obvious changes?

    Ramsdale
    TAA | Saiss | KWP
    Diangana | ASM | Auba (C) | Mane (V)
    DCL | Ings | Werner

    GK: Steer | Davies | Bissouma | Ferguson

    0.5 ITB

    GW2 - lngs > Martial
    GW3 - Auba > KDB

  12. adstomko
    • 8 Years

    Bottomed.

    % of Rodríguez starting vs Spurs?
    % of Pulisic starting vs Brighton?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone who answers is guessing based on no indication

  13. kevchenko
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I've just bottled it with Saka....

    Just no way he gets 90 minutes is there against Fulham - if he starts, Willian or Pepe will come on at some point.,.... if he doesn't start, just a cameo?

    ASM it is 🙁

    1. Mirkatldn
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Team Saka here. Reckon he'll have a good season.

      1. kevchenko
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Uh oh

    2. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I'm all over Saka. For better or for worse. I don't know what the kid has done to not deserve starts most weeks.

      1. kevchenko
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That is the problem, "deserves" doesn't translate to points!

    3. MidTableFantasy
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keeping will sell for a 4.5 fodder and stick on the bench if he doesn't start, he was great end of last season

      1. kevchenko
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Waste of a transfer though now?

  14. Jam0sh
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which trio you'd prefer:

    A) Havertz, Saiss, Adams
    B) Alli, Digne, Mitrovic

    1. Begbie.
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Mirkatldn
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B. Just. Not keen on Alli.

  15. KGFC
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Guys,

    1. DCL + ASM
    2. C Wilson + Doucoure + 0.5m

  16. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hi guys, any thoughts on my draft?

    Ryan
    TAA Egan KWP Davies
    Salah Auba Soucek Son
    Werner Ings

    Subs: Button Stephens Brewster Taylor

  17. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Structure wise do you think it’s better to have at least one 6-7m striker which you can move around or go heavier spending 17-18m (say Werner martial) across 2 and go with 5.5m mid?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Former imo, and that's what I'm doing. DCL & Adams.

      But I have JW-P and Saka.

  18. jumbob
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any comments on my team?

    McCarthy (Nyland)
    TAA, VvD, Justin, Mitchell (KwP)
    Auba, Salah, Alli, ASM (Bissouma)
    Ings, Werner (4.5)

    Thanks!

    Thoughts on my final draft?

    McCarthy
    TAA - Tierney - Justin
    Auba - Salah - Son - ASM - Soucek
    Werner - Adams

    Ryan / KWP / Lewis / Brewster

    1.0m ITB for GW2/3 flexibility.

  22. Stuck in the Mudryk
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A: Mitro
    B: Batshuayi

    1. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      a until b integrates

    2. northernmuppet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A.. B won’t get game time

    3. Bring back Rafa
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Probably A to begin with to see how Bat goes. But if nailed, Bat is better

  23. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Has Mark shared his draft team?

  24. northernmuppet
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    McCarthy (Steer)
    Robbo, TAA, Saiss (Justin) (Mitchell)
    Auba (c), Rodriguez, Havertz, Pereria. (Bissuoma)
    Werner, Ings, Wilson

    1) Too punty?
    2) Get back Salah
    3) Spot on!

    1. boroie
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2

    2. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't rush on Rodriguez besides that it's fine

    3. Jordan Stott
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No Salah takes guts & I like Rodriguez, but not for GW1

    4. Stuck in the Mudryk
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2

    5. northernmuppet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If I bring back Salah and move off Robbo and downgrade Ings to Adams.. squad not as soon

  25. Belli2007
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Currently have a couple of attacking double ups but will lose one in GW2 when I do Ings > Tony (have 0.5m in bank for this), it is risky, but too risky?

    Team is

    McCarthy
    TAA Vinagre Justin
    Auba(vc) Salah(c) Havertz Soucek
    Werner Adams Ings

    Steer Mitchell Bissouma Ayling

    1. northernmuppet
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’d do Adams to Wilson.. don’t need double Southampton strikers.

      1. Belli2007
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        But I then don't have the money to upgrade Ings to Tony

    2. Zimo
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wow we have the same starting 11 and gw2 transfer

      1. Belli2007
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I am very pleased to hear that....

        1. Belli2007
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          We could be top tomorrow

          1. Zimo
            • 6 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Haha hopefully! 😀

  26. boroie
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    A - Button
    B - Steer
    C - Nyland
    D - Other £4m GK

    1. Belli2007
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Steer probably starts for now

    2. Bring back Rafa
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Shouldn't matter too much, but if your number 1 GK plays for the same team as one of them it is a no-brainer to double up.....otherwise Steer

  27. Pep's Money Laundry
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who is the better pick here?

    A. Davies
    B. Dier

    1. Fer Fuch's Ake
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      a

  28. cutch
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who will be the Aston Villa goalkeeper? Is Steer nailed? Or is Nyland still an option?

    1. _Ninja_
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Possibly Martinez

  29. OldBenKenobi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Reece James a good shout against Brighton?

    1. Mirkatldn
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I like him, but not seeing other love. He's in my team

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        You think he starts?

        1. Mirkatldn
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I think he'll start most games this season

  30. Bleh
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    All done. GTG?
