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.

Kicking off today’s RMT discussion is Evs.

DDG, Gilks
Ward, Terry, N.Taylor, Wisdom, Bruce.
Ramsey, Mata, Fabregas, Sigurdson, Wanyama
Jovetic, Rooney, Costa.

A Chelsea defender is a must for Evs, should he downgrade Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas to Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen and get a 6m Chelsea defender or downgrade Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez to his team mate Aaron Ramsey to give himself 6.5m to spend.

Recently Tottenham’s Ben Davies had been ousted from his team, as again uncertainty with Danny Rose continues. Which is the best route into the Tottenham defence? Stevan Jovetic is a short term punt. Who should he replace him with should he fail to cement a place in Manchester City’s starting XI?

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

    Hi everyone, would appreciate feedback on the two potential outfield units to be paired with the same defensive unit:

    Defensive Unit:

    De Gea
    Terry Chester Wisdom Hutton Duff

    Outfield Option 1:

    Hazard Ramsey Mata Siggy Marney
    Rooney Costa Jovetic

    vs

    Outfield Option 2:

    Hazard Ramsey Siggy Young Marney
    Sturridge Rooney Costa

    Thought I was happy with Option 1, but now I think there is no point in putting in Jovetic since he is not nailed permanently and I am planning to bring Aguero in anyway, so might as well go with an expensive front 3 in anticipation of that...

      Hi ,
      have 1.5 mil in the bank, so looking for thoughts on what to do with that based on having:

      Mannone (Myhill)

      Debuchy Caulker Van Aanholt (Coloccini, Bruce)

      Fabregas Mata Cabella Ramsey (Noble)

      Rooney Costa Bojan.

        2 Sunderland players in your defence is a risk could rotate but will Bruce always start?

        I suppose Coloccini would rotate well if you have faith in Newcastle defending at home!

      Almost identical to mine except I wasnt convinced of Luis starting so went Caulker and spent the 1m on Hazard instead of Fab.

      As for your question, still unclear if Fab will be a box-to-box double pivot or full attacking mid, whereas Hazard will always be attack.
