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.

      I don't mind the Shelvey pick, flying a tad under the radar I think. In general team looks alright but reconsider Ward, Pulis is gone now so they won't be as good defensively.

          Sigurdsson is a good shout, a lot of people have gone with him. As for the bench it's really your call, I just prefer having a bit more depth.

          Good job. Subs are subs. If you are sure your first 11 will start then subs can be ya nan, the dog and the little shit living next door. Cheap is the best option! I would do a bit more reseach on your subs to ensure their prices wont drop and screw you over later on. Once you got a 4.0 down to even 3.9 but can slip to 3.8 in some cases you will find it hard to get them out. Just my opinion. Nice front 7 but defence may need a little work?

    My initial instinct was to go with Ben Davies as Spurs should get a fair few clean sheets, no?

      No Rooney is bold, but I guess you can always swap one of Sturridge/Costa to him if need be. Looks pretty good although I question Liverpool/Arsenal's early fixtures from a defensive stand point.

      I like the team. I would change zamora for a lower percentage owned striker because if he's just a bench warmer, which he looks to be, and loads of people take him out his value will go down.

      Azpil still not 100% so it's a risk that could pay off.

      Play 3-5-2

      1.5 to improve elsewhere

      Bojan will honestly be the biggest flop. 3/4 goals in 23 goals in the dutch league? Teams regularly score 4+ in a game in the Eredivisie.

      When Jovetic played he was class, Dzeko will score goals but Jovetic will be more clinical and is looking to have a monster season, definitely a sleeper

        I also agree, but chambers can be changed for Neil Taylor who has 2 home games against west brom and burnley, good cleansheet potential there. Maybe swap blackett for james? Shaw is out for longer, unless young would cover LWB and valencia came in for RWB, maybe that's something you should look into.

        Terry/Cahill is still debatable, mine is changing all the time

        Nice! Liking the same Lovren and Terry picks 🙂

        Also liking Stuuridge instead of Costa, could pay off big time.

        you playing Bojan every week?

          Nah I'll rotate with Siggy. Young wont stay forever but an early punt to gauge the field. Im a lpool season ticket holder and i think Sturridge will rip it up this yr. i think Costa could start slow, I'm hoping lol.

            Yeah i thought you'd be rotating, a popular choice it seems so good move.

            I however will be playing Siggy and Diouf every gameweek, should i feel uncomfortable with that you reckon?

            Cool, i need to become a season ticket holder really, and i support Man U lol.

            Also, i think Costa will do well, just a case of who scores more, Costa or Sturridge.

              Siggy not at all, he'll be a nailed on starter as long as they keep Bony and Swans do ok. Dioufy time will tell as you know, can be shipped easily enough with a midfield downgrade a few weeks in tho.

                Yeah i suppose, suppose its the occasional sacrifice of rotation i guess, haha yeah i like the Caulker partnership with Terry and Lovs.

                Yeah that makes sense really, can just hop on to the third in form striker should one emerge if Diouf flops, really hoping he will slot a few away though, at the very least get a mere price rise out of him.

      Nice team, your team looked almost identical to mine last night. I also had no mata and was covering United midfield with Young and opted for Silva. I now have both young and mata in my team. I think Silva tends to perform better when everyone else is, especially sergio.

      Lose bojan for a bench warmer and go 3-5-2. 3 or 4 goals in the Eredivisie in 24 apps when teams regularly score +4 goals a game, simply dog shit standards. The hype will soon be underwhelmed and his value will crash. Worst bandwagon of the year!

      Good luck with the mata decision, I hope he gets injured if im honest!

      Costa is worth having in your team I think, will spear head the attack so worth having for sure. I don't like the 442 formation though, clean sheets are notoriously hard to predict, especially early on. Consider upgrading wanyama to Siggurdson so he can rotate with Bojan.

      Swap Myhill for Gilks both 4.0, but Gilks has less ownership, more likely to become No. 1 and Burnley are decent defensively, plus he rotates well with Begovic.

      I'd take Ward out now as Palace have lost Pulis.

      Moore.

      Davis isn't nailed on right now.

      If you downgrade Sterling for Tadic,then do Ward to Naylor then you could upgrade Wanyama to Siggurdson and Siggi rotates perfectly with Bojan. If I did my math right.

      I think you can get by with Krul and another 4.5. I know Foster rotates well with him, does Guzan? Evans is an injury doubt and not worth that risk for wk1. I'd definitely downgrade a midfielder to upgrade Bojan - probably Barkley b/c cost and fixtures.
