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 to go then?

      3 years, 7 months ago

      Steer won't start if that matters

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Suppose Nyland wont either? If so then i'm going to just stick with the lesser owned one

  2. Nightrain_
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Mitrovic fans, ready for the last minute decision to ditch him for Nketiah ?

    Same price but playing for the top 3 contender this season instead of playing for the whipping boy, backed with a splendid hattrick result vs Kosovo. Arteta should play him ahead of Lacazette

    Could be a nice bandwagon in the first 2 GWs against FUL and WHU and a great double-up with Auba.
    If he bagged couple of goals, could see casuals driving his price to 6.4 in GW3 and with Mitro blank (not seeing a goal against ARS and lee), I'm seeing a potential 0.1 drop, so a nice 0.3 profit.

    If Nketiah blanked or doesn't start right away, you don't lose much as he's the 6th or 7th attacker anyway. Early bird gets the worm

    Opinion ?

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

      It's a no brainer !
      Mitrovic

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

        Whos gonna provide him the service? Struggling to see it

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Reports suggest Laca starts.

    3. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Not sure what happened to my comment above. It said:

      *laughing face* when Laca starts

    4. Rolls-Royce
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Mitro is gonna prove an insane value over the course of the season.

  3. Teahupo'o
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    G2G?

    McCarthy
    TAA Davies Vinagre
    Salah Auba Havertz Alli ASM
    Werner Mitro

    (Button, Brewster Justin Mitchell)

    1. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I would start Justin over Vinagre this week, but only just. Otherwise looks set

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers

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

      Button Brewster Mitchell Vinagre either won't start or questionable job security

      1. Teahupo'o
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Thanks

        Not many options in relating to those (4.0 gk, 4.5 fwd 4.0 def 4.5 def)

        Could swap Vinagre out for Taylor. if anything.

  4. Bad Kompany
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Last question. Is Bissouma nailed?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yes but subbed off early most weeks. Has more potential than the other 4.5s

      1. Bad Kompany
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers! Is Reed on Fulham nailed?

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Would say he's more nailed than Biss but won't get you any attacking returns. Biss has some attacking threat at least

  5. Torres76
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Sky 409 now. Bought another player? A new keeper..and they still want Declan Rice. Crazy spending!

    1. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Who?

      1. Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Chelsea for Mendy

        1. Stockport Hatter
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Ooh interesting! Their defence may be worth monitoring a as well now.

          1. Nice to Finally Michu
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Waiting on Chilwell's fitness and Silva's integration into the team and then we're off
            Hopefully by then Reece is nailed

            1. Torres76
              • 14 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Looks like Kepa will be sold off. He is pants but doesn’t help with dodgy centre half’s

  6. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Mooorning lads!

    Anyone on the Kane train?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Just hopped aboard courtesy of BigManBakar's podcast.

      1. Rolls-Royce
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Mou strikers have historically done well. Expecting a 20+ season from him and the fixtures look juicy.

      2. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        What did he say?

    2. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      If I wanted a Spurs DM I'd get Hojberg

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

      The man let me down too many times when i had him, i miss the Kane of old.

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

      Im considering a Kane + Werner up top

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        That's what I've done.

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

          Mind sharing your team? Im still tinkering and need inspiration

  7. Threat Level Midnight
    • 5 Years

    Give me your top 2 4.5 defenders. Yes, I know it's been everywhere but this is my last decision.

  9. Bishopool
    • 12 Years

    Choose one!

    a) Kane
    b) Vardy
    c) Werner

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Dad...aka Kane

    2. Stockport Hatter
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      C

    3. Nice to Finally Michu
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      C but can't knee jerk sell a player like Werner. He's a set and forget - i've learned from missing two hat tricks of his over the last two years in fbl

      1. Torres76
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Timo Werner

        1. Nice to Finally Michu
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          indeed

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

    Justin or holding

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

      Justin if any

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Might only get one game out of Holding, if Saliba is better and Luiz recovers. Might get 3 out of Justin.

      1. Torres76
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Leicester were pants after that Liverpool battering last season. Let’s hope they are on it in 20/21

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

        is ricardo that close?

    3. Clintymints

      Awesome

  11. Amey
    • 5 Years

      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah good luck mate! So many options this year so should see many different teams. I think I prefer it that way. I’m still twitching to change but think I’m going to stick as I’ve made no changes since Wednesday.

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

        Yeah ...
        I agree

  12. PepSala
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    B) wilson and Vinagre

    Last choice

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

      B with someone else than Vinagre

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      B

  13. shady4revr
    • 9 Years

    My captain is Mitchell, am i on weed?

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      More than weed

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

      You must be playing wrong fantasy game 😀

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

      Is this one of lowest scoring wins leagues?

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

        Then he'd be on Auba !

  14. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Best one week punt...
    Son, Ings or Firmino?

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

      None actual punts imo but Ings for me.

    2. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Ings

  15. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Well I've considered everything, here we go!

    McCarthy (Steer)
    TAA - Davies - Vinagre - KWP (White)
    Auba - Son - Pulisic/Havertz - Rodriguez (Reed)
    Werner - Vardy (Brewster)

    Good luck!

  20. The Final Boss
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Guys saw some videos on West Brom periera. Very good player in terms of fpl as well..I think it is better to spend 0.5m over asm especially when he is on set pieces as well..Currently I am having asm because of fund issues.

  21. Bishopool

    Good morning and help!

    Need to delete last seasons ML but delete button won't do it. Started a new one with new players. Now all the old ones are in the old league too which is pointless.

    Care to advice?

        Aaaand now it did! 😆 Cheers mate!

        Didn't work on my phone but IPad did the job.

        Time for another one TM, you ready?

  23. S.Kuqi

        Doh! Hiw can i be so dumb haha! Cheers TM!

  25. klopptimusprime
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Best $6-7m mid

    On Zaha atm, and planning on holding for 4-5 game weeks

    1. Pukki Party
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Zaha is a good pick. Can swich to Leicester players or downgrade to Fraser.

  26. Torres76
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    So many choices in midfield this year. Going to be crazy fitting in the top picks

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

    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?

  28. shady4revr
    • 9 Years

    RMT
    McCarthy/Nyland
