The Rate My Team Discussion

With so many of you seeking advice on their teams before August 16, we thought it would be prudent to run a daily community article to provide a dedicated focus for “Rate My Team” (RMT) requests.

Each day ahead of the new season, we’ll select one of the Fantasy Football Scout team and post up their own RMT request to open up discussion and encourage others to post their own. We’ll turn the comments over to you to provide a useful place for those seeking advice and highlight some of the key decisions under deliberation.

Please nudge those posting RMTs in other articles to visit this daily RMT article. Also, when posting requests, please remember to be courteous to those who take the time to help out. Equally, if you’re an experienced Fantasy manager with some views on initial line-ups, take time out to dip in and contribute – the Fantasy Football Scout team will be doing their upmost to offer their feedback as the discussion develops throughout the day.

The next Fantasy Premier League RMT contender is Alex Bowers, the winner of the Ultimate Fantasy Premier League Beta version 2013/14.

Krul (Foster)
Shaw – Lovren – Cameron (Davies, N Taylor)
De Jong – Lamela – Mata – Sterling (Sigurdsson)
Rooney – Costa – Austin

Alex is not thrilled about having Gylfi Sigurdsson on the bench for the first Gameweek so he is open to alternative suggestions for his fifth midfield slot. He is adopting a wait-and-see aproach regarding Chelsea midfielders, Arsenal and Manchester City. Is he right to wait?

Feel free to get stuck in with your feedback. We look forward to scanning your RMTs throughout the day on this article.

      Chambers is going to need a transfer out as soon as they have a full backline again, I don't like to plan transfers so early.

      Lots of money at the back with limited points potential for it IMO. Not keen on Debuchy's fixtures or Lovren's clean sheet potential. Davies may well rotate or even be behind Rose - wait and see.

      Really don't like Barkley but he could prove me wrong. Albrighton is injured so look elsewhere - Isgrove? (not a certain starter but big upside if he does play) Wanyama? Marney is the new 'safe' choice.

        A biased fan here, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Liverpool tighten up a lot this season. They looked really solid in pre-season to me, barring the United result.

      I think Bojan is bound to fail, and I believe strikers are crucial as they are "captainable." Also, 5.0 for a QPR defender goes against my grain, but I know Caulker is a thing around these parts.

      I like it but Zaba probably won't play GW1, having gone all the way in the world cup and Pellegrini having Sagna as backup.

      Also, question marks over Shaw. Wait and see with him, 6.0 is too much for a risk.

      Good midfield and forwards (rethink nugent IMO) but I think def is too shaky
      Luis may not start initially. Wilson may not start regularly
      2 4 mil defs is too many without security. if neither starts you are going to be spending points on transfers to try and sort that out
