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.

For today’s final RMT discussion we’ve managed to grab Mark’s current lineup…

DeGea, Elliot
Ivanovic, Caulker, C Davies, Debuchy, Hutton
Ramsey, Sterling, Mutch, Siggurdson, Young
Rooney, Costa, Giroud

So Mark has currently ditched the Bojan/Sigurdsson rotation and opted for three big-hitters up front. He’s turned down the option of Jovetic and backed Arsenal with three players, despite a testing opening to their season. He’s spent on goal threat at the back with Ivanovic, Caulker and Curtis Davies, whilst he’s banking on Ashley Young to help compensate for the loss of Juan Mata.

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

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Hey MARK,

    Is the pre-season tab still viewable anywhere, or is it gone now since the team news tab arrived?

    Need to make a last minute decision in Sterling or Coutinho.

        Cheers guys. Head deffo says sterling, but that spot the differential article has me thinking.

      Not really. He'll be a utility player this year. Read Bruce's comments that he'll change every player in his team that plays today for Thursday? On Hull official website, titled QPR team news or something. g

      Personally prefer Henderson- always seems to be a threat when on the pitch, Good link up play. I also read (think it was It was in the express) that Rodgers wants Henderson to get Into to the box more so hopefully better points opportunity.

      Hi sminky,
      Just my personal thoughts-
      O'Shea for PVA,
      Would you be willing to consider changing Haz to Fab which would free up £1m to address your defense more (Baird out?)
      Personally prefer Puncheon or Hendo rather than Siggy.
      Fletcher or Bojan rather than Austin?
      Good luck 🙂
