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)

  5. French Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    How can I set my team in the transfer tab for players to be in descending price order
    Eg: Salah - Auba - Son

    Everytime I transfer out a player to change his position and then retransfer in the player position on the line Automatically resets.

    Stupid question but I m sure someone on the DZ must know ?

    1. Mengo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Not liking rashy on bench and 1.5 itb

      1. thepeen555
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        That's probably to add bruno in place of son. 1 FT rather than multiple

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I know. Not a fan of that strategy

    McCarthy
    TAA Vinagre Justin
    Auba Son Alli Havertz
    Werner Ings Mitro

    Steer Lamptey Bissouma Johnson
    0,5 itb

    Plan is Son > Rash after gw1

    1. Soto Ayam
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Mitro to Adams?

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

        Why you think I Should have both Ings and Adams?

        1. Soto Ayam
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          I think Adams is better than mitro. Change ings to martial to if you like in gw 2

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

    Thoughts on this?

    Leaves 2.0 ITB for Salah & Adams > Bruno & Martial in GW2 (or GW 2 & 3)

    McCarthy
    TAA Davies Vinagre
    Auba Salah Alli ASM
    Werner DCL Adams
    (4.0 KWP Mitchell Bissouma)

    1. the dom 1

      like it 😉

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        sorry - not liking the DCL pick, lol

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

          I'm still not sure on him. Not wild for GW1 and he was awful after lockdown but with his run of fixtures from GW2 and being supplied by Everton's new midfield, I feel he could be a real surprise package...

          1. the dom 1
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Get Wilson over DCL i think?

    Mccarthy
    TAA dier Robertson
    Auba Son harvertz saint-maximin
    Werner Mitrovica Ings

    Button Mitchell fergunson bissouma

    0,5M to upgrade Ings to martial

  15. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Which 4.5 mid has the greatest potential to score the most points this year... is it Gordon?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'm on Gordon

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

        do you think there's a chance he gets the LW position?

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Will start GW1. I think he will feature heavily even if he's not a regular starter, and he's like an injury away from getting lots of minutes.

          just my hunch but he's my 5th mid

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

            yep similar thought pattern to me.

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

      Romeu, thank me later

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

        points mate not yellows

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

        I am a Southampton fan and within a month a CM will be signed and Romeu will be back to his bench position.

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

      Only of Everton get several injuries in midfield

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

        why does everyone think Gordon is a CM. He will play LW.

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Burke. But will he though? Probably not.

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

        I'm pretty sure SHU will be signing another ST before transfer window closes.

  16. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A or B?
    A. Son, Vinagre
    B. Alli, Mitrovic
    Good luck all 🙂

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I'm on B

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

    Vinagre nailed?

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

      Nuno said the new signed LB/LCB will be eased in

    2. lb_23
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No, definite uncertainty

    3. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Will start this week but uncertain in the longer term.

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No. Not nailed on. Nailed on means he will 100% start. He is definitely not that. I'd put his chances at 50/50.

  18. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Who to get from Spurs ?
    A- Kane

  25. Mini Mahouse
