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)

    Soucek or Periera and why?

    3. Sanchit

      Not the same price

  2. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Lascelles or Lewis?

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

      Lascelles

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

        is that because you think Lewis may not start initially or do you think Lascelles is the better option longterm?

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

          Lewis might not start
          Over time, might be the better pick

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

      Lewis

  3. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years

    1. Sanchit
      • 8 Years

      Imagine pages are flying in DZ
      What happens when people wake up!

    Ryan
    Alexander-Arnold, Robertson, Walker-Peters, Justin
    Aubameyang, Saka, Soucek, Salah
    Kane, Vardy

  5. JURGENAUT

    Soucek or a 4.5 defender?

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

      Defender

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

      4.5 def. WHU fixtures. avoid.

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

    G2G? £0.0 ITB

    McCarthy / Steer
    TAA / Egan / Lewis / Mitchell (Shaw)
    Salah / Auba / Son / ASM (Bissouma)
    Werner / Ings (Brewster)

  7. Saka Punch
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Last decision:

    A) ASM & Alli

    B) Soucek & Havertz

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

      B, but Alli and Havertz may cameo.

    2. 007 [RoboKlopp]
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Sou and Alli + 0.5m

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

      ASM and Alli by a lot.

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

    1) Captain Auba in GW1 and GW2
    2) Captain Salah in GW1 and Bruno in GW2

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

      you need Auba.

  9. davies
    • 9 Years

    Gtg?

    1. Rodgers's CHARACTER
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Auba for mane or salah

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

        this.

      2. Alonso The Great Midfielder
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        agree

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

      Don't need rotating keepers... saves 0.5
      Son to Alli
      and DCL to Ings and your team looks much better.

      1. Gabbiadini
        • 6 Years

        or Jim seeing you have Adams

  11. Uncle Gamst
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Just need to pick a 5.0 midfielder, so that I have the option of bringing Fernandes in GW2

    Who would you choose as a player that has the potential to be a surprise package, play regularly and perhaps increase in price?

    Many thanks

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

      Your demands from a 5 million mid are too high

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

        I know 😉 give it your best shot

    2. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Ceballos

    3. MrZ

      De beek

      1. MrZ
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Sorry but for 5m the best wouldnbe soucek. For .5m more I'll consider doucoure

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

        he's 7.0.

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

      I don't think that exists. Murphy at Newcastle may have been an outside shout before they added Fraser.

  12. Rodgers's CHARACTER
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Digne or Tierney or Azpi?

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

      Maybe Davies? Better fixtures

      1. Rodgers's CHARACTER
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        have him

    2. GoonSquad

      Digne

    3. Alonso The Great Midfielder

    2) Pulisic
    Which one from these ?

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

      A... would like to know the same
      Pulisic the better option which is why I wouldn't pick a Chelsea mid until after GW2.

    2. Clintymints
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      B 1

  15. Jafooli
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    First choice Fulham GK?

    1. Rodgers's CHARACTER
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      No body Know better choose Ryan , Mccarthy or mesiler

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

        yes, we do. Areola will be the no.1. He hasn't moved to Fulham to sit the bench.

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

      Probably Rodak but...why?

    3. The Knights Template
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Is Areola moving there?

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

        he already has. And yes it will be Areola.

        1. The Knights Template
          • 10 Years

          Thanks

      Cheers all...

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

    Which one?
    A) Ings + Davis + KWP
    B) Mitro + Adams + Saiss

  17. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Gonna be some crazy price changes in GW2
    5m players with casuals at peak engagement
    Rush to get Man Utd players (in particular due to the huge global gambade) and Man City players
    Huge casual bandwagons for any player that does well in GW1 and becomes 'essential'
    Bruno will be a 10.8m player very quickly

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

      Agreed.

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

      P.s. gambade = fanbase
      Better go to bed!

  18. Nespinha
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Rate this defense (3 playing)

    TAA Tierney Stevens Mitchel Ferguson

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

      Bit too weak in the back-up department with both Mitchell and Ferguson. Thoughts on Boly over Tierney?

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

        I would go for Tierney, Arsenal have been looking better every game

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

      Too weak

    3. TorresMagic™

      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      Really rate the 1st 3.
      Not too confident in SHU.

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

          Oh arsenal, I'll punt Tierney now, can change to 5.5 in two games if needed

      2. Nespinha
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Was trying for 3 big team defenders and see how it works out. Had Dier before

        Alternative is Justin and vinagre / KWP

  19. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Think I’m set and feeling good 🙂 ...

    McCarthy
    Egan TAA Doherty Lascelles
    Aubam Barnes ASM Pulisic
    Werner Ings
    (4.0, Martial, Burke, 4.0)

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

      Reckon Burke with be a starter for us? I'm still optimistic that we get Brewster

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Eventually Yh, I’d hope so. And yhh me too, really want dennis but ain’t gonna happen. Is hard to believe we haven’t signed a clinical striker yet but do think mousset will have a lot more to offer this year

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

      Burke in your team? You're not Chris Wilder are you?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Bench fodder for now, OOP when he plays so a good option

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

          He's certainly got pace, just no idea what to do with it. Maybe Wilder can do something with him where everyone else has failed.

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

      no Salah?man..sure you’re no ordinary player here..man..all I’m doing is follow the crowd

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Nahh, don’t fancy him for the first 3 fixtures. Could hurt me massively though but risk I’m wiling to take

      Ramsdale England U21s gk lol

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

        Thought there must be a reason since Wilder apparently rates him now, thanks

  28. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Salah-less Squad locked in I think...

    Going with 2 teams this season, one my firsts and then this as an alternative approach... bit of an experiment I guess

    McCarthy
    TAA Robertson Vinagre
    Aubameyang Havertz Alli ASM
    Werner Vardy Adams

    Nyland Mitchell Bissouma Ayling

    Is this good to go??

    Thanks all and good luck to you

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    If you were looking for a 5.5 def who could play every single week who would you go for?

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Wan Bissaka probably...maybe Aurier if he was sure starter

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

      Stevens?
      I don't really like the 5.5 defenders.

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

      AWB from next week, otherwise, Stevens or Boly? Or Egan/Davies and bank 0.5

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

      Tierner or boly.
      But you can get the same potential with .5m less

    5. GoonSquad
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Tarkowski, Maguire, or Van Aanholt once healthy.

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

      Tierney maybe?

      But I’d probably do Enda Stevens
