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)

    Will Adams get a similar return as Ings?

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      HahhahahahHHhAhHhahahahA

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If only it was that easy.

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

      no. Ings will beat him by 10+ goals (Southampton fan)

    4. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Obviously not. You can say: If Ings scores in 2 out of 3 games, Adam will score in 1 out of 3.

    5. jaguar shark
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Less

    6. All about the galacticos
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      the clue is in the price

    7. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why not? Ings had a freak season, Adams looks good

    8. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Like for real, one guy almost won the golden boot, the other couldnt displace Shane Long

      Love preseason!!!

  2. Puntillimon
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    a) havertz + robbo
    or
    b) salah + taylor (burnley)

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Puntillimon
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Alrdy have TAA

  3. Bad Kompany
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is Alli nailed?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Probably.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Should be

  4. Canadian Football
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    HEy DZ...best 9.5 GK combo?

    1. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Lloris

    2. Jude Rooney
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Doesn't seem like the DZ this morning!

    3. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ramsdale McCarthy (if rotating)

      Lloris Button (if not)

    4. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Ramsdale Mccarthy for 38 GWs

    5. Francescoli
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No need to spend more than 8.5 😉

    6. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why on earth would you spend that much

  5. Jude Rooney
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Think he will become first choice but got a feeling Doherty won't start GW1 anyone agree?

    1. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why?

      1. Jude Rooney
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Not kicked a ball for Spurs yet

    2. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Its football not rocket science, really depends if Mou wants to make a statement to Aurier.

    3. ivantys
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would be more confident if he cost more

    4. Sahil.....
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you want a spurs defender go for davies his nailed

      1. Jude Rooney
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He is but Doherty will be granite in the Aurier role

  6. Logic
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Seems Adams is ahead of Mitro. But why?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Because Southampton > Fulham

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

        +1
        But not enough talking about Michy

      2. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        this

    2. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Because he scored 2 in the last gameweek everyone remembers

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

    Which is a better pick ignoring price?

    1. Bowen
    2. Soucek

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

      bowen

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1

    3. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bowen, no doubt

  8. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Very interested in knowing laterisers team.

  9. SpagBol
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    It's legit so close....

    Which option and why?

    A) Salah + Alli + Vinagre
    OR
    B) Son + Havertz + Robbo

    p.s already have TAA

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

      A, easy.

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

        why A?

    2. The Son-dance Kid
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go B. In my opinion:
      Salah outscores Son
      Havertz outscores Alli
      Robbo outscores Vinagre by a country mile
      Depends on rest of team of course.

  10. FPLteacher - Season 15
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Howcome I see so many Adams in teams? No cash? Spot filler?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He’s good and has the fixtures?

    2. TorresMagic™

  11. Sprunty
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Alright, an Aussie trying to get a team together did some quick research but don't really know the buys and who to get budget wise or form wise any help appreciated

    Pope / Ryan

    Wan-Bissakka / Lowton / Ayling / Vinagre / Lewis

    Auba / Salah / KDB / Noble / Stephens

    Werner / Rodrigo / Mitrovic

    Thanks in advance!

    1. The Suspended One
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      If you are Aussie ditch pope and go Ryan all the way

      Not keen on noble or Rodrigo

      1. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ryan could play second fiddle to Martinez if the rumours are correct.

        Avoid the headache and go McCarthy and Steer.

        1. The Suspended One
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I highly highly doubt Brighton is paying 20mil and 100k wk for Martinez

          1. The Suspended One
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            Remember this time last night Giroud was leaving Chelsea for juve

  12. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    well this is it :

    ryan (walton)
    taa tierney lascelles (taylor mitchell)
    auba salah(c) perreira soucek (bissouma)
    vardy werner wilson

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years

      Good luck!

    3. FPL_Crisis

      3 years, 6 months ago

      I’ve got both

  14. OptimusBlack
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Who to get ??
    A - Adams
    B- Mitro
    C- DCL

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      C

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B

    4. The Son-dance Kid
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B (as third striker)

  15. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Lascelles or Justin?

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

      lascelles

    2. FPLteacher - Season 15
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Justin for me...

  16. Francescoli
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Which of these two players is most nailed: Holding or Saliba?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      H

    2. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Saliba long term. Holding doesn’t fit into Arteta’s plans notwithstanding the decent performances in the short term.

    3. Rust Cohle
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Arsenal’s matches are kinda garbage after the first two GWs. I wouldn’t want either.

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

        two tough matches, but holding and saliba are cheap enough to bench

      2. Francescoli
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I’m looking at an early gw3-4 wildcard so am trying to attack the first two fixtures.

        1. NABIL - FPL otai
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Nketiah then 😉

  17. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    A. Saiss + Bissouma or
    B. Vinagre + Soucek ?

    Worth getting Soucek for the season despite of the fixtures..?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B. Live a little

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I don’t see Ben White in any teams. Isn’t he the next big thing? At 4.5 may be a good shout? Potter’s Brighton aren’t that bad

      I don't love Brighton's first 4 fixtures.

      Can't see any clean sheets for them in first 5 games

        We'll see 😉

      He's the reason I'm getting Ryan

    Who else is going without any spurs players

      I got 4 of them lol

      Definitely considering it. Only Son is tempting me.

    McCarthy
    TAA | Vinagre | Burr
    Auba | Salah | Alli | ASM
    Werner | Ings | Wilson

    Nyland | Mitchell | Gordon | Taylor

    Are Vinagre and Burr too risky together for just a week...? Maybe it is if neither Vinagre nor Burr play but I can't see that happening (hence why I am picking Vinagre), so surely it is no more dangerous than those covering Taylor with Mitchell as he's my sub?

      Team looking nice but that defence, transfer waiting to happen

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

        Taylor on the pine, Ferguson to come in

  28. germanyozil10

    A) 4.5 def + Wilson
    B) Davies + Mitrovic

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

      A

    Antonio or Mitro?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mitro, WHU fixtures are dreadful to start with

    2. germanyozil10
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Mitro

    3. tinear

      Interesting. I went with Mitro. Read an earlier comment up top going with Antonio. And I doubt my decision

      i'm going with antonio, but getting him straight out in wk2
