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)

    Any news about whether Saka starting or not starting?

  2. tokara
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Noble vs Socuek?

    They should get equal points by end of season right?

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

      think Soucek will have more pts personally.

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

      As a West Ham season ticket holder this won’t be even close - Soucek is the real deal & Nobes probably won’t start the majority of the season.

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

        Thanks buddy, appreciates this.

  3. akhilrajau
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    McCarthy
    TAA,Davies, Justin
    Salah,Auba,Son,Saint-Maximin
    Wilson,Werner, Adams
    Bench: Nyland, Bissouma,Mitchel,Johnsone

    Which is good for this
    A. Wilson ( good fix but asm there)
    B. Antonio (diff fix but looks good for gw1)

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

      C. Mitrovic

  4. Jems Reds

    Hi Guys

    Good to go?

    McCarthy (Steer)
    TAA, Van Dijk, Egan (Mitchell, Taylor)
    Salah, Aub, Alli, Podence (Bissouma)
    Werner, Mitro, Adams

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

      Like Podence if he is nailed

  5. as33
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    RMT please:
    McCarthy
    Taa, Justin, Egan, Davies
    Salah, Auba(c), Mane, Pereira
    Mitro, Ings

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

      Bench must be nice

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

      Ings to Werner, make the compromise in defense. Mitro to Adams

  6. Canali
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Think I am pretty happy with this for now - any comments welcome

    RMT (0.5 ITB)

    McCarthy (Steer)
    TAA Vinagre Justin (Shaw Ferguson)
    Salah Auba Son ASM (Bissouma)
    Werner DCL Mitro

    Realise there is no cover at defence in GW1, pretty confident on Vinagre starting, Nuno is anti rotations and has often taken a while to bring in the new players.
    - Shaw saves a potential transfer (alternatively Davies may be better anyway?

    Hardest choice was between Son + DCL (0.5 ITB) or Alli + Ings.... can be persuaded?

    Thanks!

  14. The Red Devil
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Couple of defensive issues
    For Leicester fans, what's the situation on fullbacks? Castagne ready to start? Who drops out for him? Justin or Thomas?
    For spurs- who's more nailed? Davies or Dier?

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

      Great questions here. Hopefully get opinions

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

      Justin looks like he should start i think. Davies the better pick for me- just slightly more exciting

  15. hb
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What do people think - are Saka and Bellerin going to start this weekend?

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

    Have Werner/ Ings (who I will move to Martial).
    Best 6.0 ATT to join them
    Nketiah
    Adams (So'ton double up/move to Jimi)
    Ayew
    Other

    Cheers

    1. Lebowski85
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Mitrovic to start with. Adams if you are feeling punty

  17. HD7
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A)Mccarthy Egan
    B) Ramsdale KWP

  18. 420king
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    What's wrong with this team?

    McCarthy
    TAA, Davies, Egan, Justin
    Auba, Salah, Son, ASM
    Werner Adams
    (4.0, Taylor, Reed, 4.5)

    1. 420king
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      2m ITB

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

      The 4 and 4.5 on bench

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Well who would you go for if you didn't want Mitro?

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

      Every player in my team should have opportunity to make money and be playing backup

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Well if Brewster gets loaned out...

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

        people have different strategies, seems like you're pegging down every post with fodder

    4. GreatCarragherReef
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      2m in the bank for son to Bruno? I would try and get 3m there in case you want to do Adams to Martial

      1. 420king
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, Son to Bruno was the plan. Very difficult to get an extra mil and still have a good enough defense for 4-4-2 I feel
        Thanks!

  19. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A) Alli + Shaw/Dier
    B) Pulisic + Vinagre

    Pick one? cheers !

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

      A easily

  20. GreatCarragherReef
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    And it all comes down to:

    A) DCL + Coady/Davies/Egan

    B) Mitrovic + Justin

    Any thoughts? currently on B

    1. Mo Mane No Problems
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      B

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

      Wow- i got it mixed up haha

      A) DCL + Justin
      B) Mitro + Coady/Davies/Egan

  21. FPL Doctor
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    A) Son + Adams (rotating McCarthy and Ryan)
    B) Alli + Ings (McCarthy and 4.0)

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

      B for me- Ings can be easily moved to Martial

  22. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Is there any viable playing forward under 6m?

    1. GreatCarragherReef

  23. Vovhund
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Rate this team and plan please:

    McCarthy-Nyland

  26. Goodricke
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    I've been away from this game for 2 or 3 seasons. Had 2 children, no sleep and seen precious little premier league football (prioritised Leeds!!! MOT) anyway. I don't have time to research as much i used to, so can't tinker too much. Only decided to have a crack at this game today, so, after 2 hours, i have this:

    Schmeichel
    Koch, TAA, Vinagre, Cedric
    Auba, Zaha, Havertz, oriol Romeu
    Werner, Kane
    Martinez, Rodrigo, Lundstram, Egan

    so?

    1. Lebowski85
      • 11 Years

  28. FFhell
    • 4 Years

    McCarthy (Nyland)
    TAA, Egan, Dier (Taylor, Mitchell)
    Salah, Auba, Son, ASM, Soucek
    Werner, DCL (Brewster)
    1.0 itb

    Plan Auba and Son to B Fernandes and Sterling for GW2.

    Too heavy in midfield?

  29. stefanbkanev

    McCarthy

    TAA Davies KWP

    Salah Auba Son Soucek ASM

    Werner Mitro
