With the clamour for “Rate My Team” opinions ramping up, we thought we’d not only provide a place to collate such requests, but also allocate a window and some FFS team members to address them.

The first Fantasy Football Scout Rate My Team Surgery will take place this evening with myself and Jonty joined by an array of moderators and contributors in a bid to answer the first batch of Rate My Team queries and player pick questions.

What’s more, for the later surgeries, we’ve recruited some real experts to help us out.

Next week’s sessions are provisionally booked in for Wednesday and Friday and we’re lining up a cast of former Fantasy Premier League champions to join us in giving their views on your queries.

We plan to run Google Hangouts for part of the session, allowing you to drop in and listen to the variety of nonsense being discussed as we go through the threads.

Tonight’s surgery is booked in for 9pm until 11pm UK time and we’ll be posting an article to host your queries an hour before we get online.

Keep an eye out for the article which will appear in the community section this evening.

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

    Emphasis on firepower than defence, thoughts please? 0ITB

    Speroni - Hennessey

    Williams - Lescott - Huth - OShea - Targett

    Hazard - Silva - Henderson - Wanyama - Anya

    Costa - Rooney - Kane

    1. The Albatross
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I had Costa in my team until this morning. I've decided I don't want to risk his dodgy hamstrings making me nervous every weekend and got rid. You've got no Arsenal players and of all the top teams they've got the best early fixtures.

    2. Sergeant Garcia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Downgrade Kane, and upgrade Wanyama or Anya. More firepower needed in the midfield 😉

      1. marcus2704
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I could downgrade Kane and upgrade on of the Midfielders, but the options would be around the 7M mark such as Chadhi or Cabeye. Would you really expect them to get more points than Kane over the season?

        Too many Arsenal midfielders, Id like Walcott but would probably settle with Cazorla or Ozil.;

  2. jimbo39

    please rate my team

    Myhill - guzan

    lescott - francis - bacuna - prodl - clyne

    ozil - fabregas - toure - tadic - holahan

    pelle - rooney - giroud

    Midfield is punty but this year ozil in his right position and if he continues like pre season hes a winner, fab is always good for a few golas and many assists and last year he had a quiet spell of about 12 games which is unlike him and if he avoided that he would have come close on points to hazard. ya ya free kicks and pens when aguero is out and lets not forget the season he had before last, tadic very punty but free kicks and pens, soton have decent fixtures, holahan will be involved in anything norwich produce in a kind early fixture list, probs giroud out for aguero fw3,

    rotated defence with clyne playing every game, i know lpool have some tricky away matches but i want a defender who can get assists at 5.5 dunno who else, was thinging kolarov but hes not a sure starter

    1. The Albatross
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'd rather have an Arsenal or Chelsea defender than Clyne

      1. jimbo39
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        who do you think arsenals highest scoring defender will be, and you reckon bellerin is first choice

    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Why is nobody going with Eriksen? Brilliant free kick taker and Spurs are having a nice run of fixtures b/n GW2 and GW7.

    1. Boydinho
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      if you want Spurs, Chadli is 7.0

    2. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Price is the issue as Chadli saves you a bundle

    3. Link
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Agree on their nice fixtures from 2 onwards. Not many Spurs in teams (I have Kane).

      Lots burnt by Eriksen last year - me included.

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      8.5m though... I'd prefer an Arsenal mid or Mata at that price. Eriksen frustrated me last season,

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I agree he is either one of the best or mediocre . Right place right time like Lukaku

      2. Sergeant Garcia
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        At the end of the season Eriksen was rlly poor. He has lost my credit there

  3. BarkKnight
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Fabregas and Costa or Hazard and Benteke?

    1. wilsonito
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. jernej93
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Benteke is still a big guess ... he did well at Villa, but so did Siggy at Swansea and he couldn't produce at Spurs 🙂

      So I would say A but Costa is injury prone and all this yellow cards 🙂

    3. meerlight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      i've been dwelling on that too. actually i have an extra player in the mix so as not to double up on pool:

      Fab costa milner, or haz benteke chadli

      1. BarkKnight
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        I'm swaying towards the first two but with Costa news last night I thought about changing. Think I'll stick with Fab and Costa for now.

    4. Link
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      B. Captain options in weeks 1 and 2 and I don't trust Costa and his hammies

      1. Dinamo Drachma
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        B

    5. The Albatross
      • 16 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      B for me

  4. shanebuckz

    Butland. Schmeical

    Cedric. Azpel. Williams Francis ward

  5. Boydinho
    • 11 Years

    Just checked in for the day, any thoughts about Caulker to Saints earlier today? Link if so

  7. Vatroslav

    What are your thoughts on Chester and Caulker for fantasy options? Had them both in GW1 last season.

    1. Wheato182
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Keeping a close eye on Chester to be added - praying he comes in at 4.5.

      1. Az
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        he'll come in at 5 i'm sure

        1. Wheato182
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          You think Olsson might make way????

      2. Frank Black
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Definitely 5M.

  8. Wheato182
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Can i get a RMT please guys?

    Speroni
    Azpil - Kos - Mings
    Hazard - Fab - Walcott - Richie
    Benteke - Rooney - Sakho

    Butland - Wanyama - Richards - Olsson

    Not sure about my forward line and think my subs might need another look at. Plan was to rotate my 3rd defender (Bournmouth, Villa and WBA) and rotate my keepers.

    1. Az
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. meerlight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      could be gold

    3. Sergeant Garcia
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go Fab > Mané, because Sou fixtures

    4. jimbo39
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I am still not convinced about benteke, I thinks hes amasing and a good signing for the reds but im gonna wait b4 puttin him in

      1. Wheato182
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Who would you go for in the 8.5 bracket?

  9. Az
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    A: Chadli (7.0)
    B: Siggy (7.5)
    C: Mane (8.0)

    ?

    1. olidooley
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Payet (7.5)

      1. Az

        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        i have literally no knowledge of payet whatsoever

        1. jernej93
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Above players all play in better teams, can't see West Ham being in top half under Bilic..

          C for me but Siggy is also very good prospect. Swansea will push for top8 IMO 🙂

    2. Wheato182
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go Mane cuz i like Southamptons fixtures.

    3. Bibelnissen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Money no issue?

      Then C.

    4. Jafooli
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      A. Extra 1m but might be rotated?
      B. Most nailed on of the lot
      C. Most exciting pick

    5. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Is there a spredsheet around with those that have paid and are in, talking about the 5£ league?

      C if money allows, otherwise A imo

      7/10, good effort. I'd get Milner in for depay and upgrade elsewhere, because Rooney provides enough United cover

      Barkley at 6.5 ?

    2. Louis99

      How cheap?

    3. jernej93

      What does cheap means .. under what value? 🙂

    4. Wheato182

      Puncheon @ 6 could be gold if Cabaye doesn't affect anything

    Considering I have aguero, Hazard and Rooney, I quite like this effort:

    Butland - Ruddy
    Mert - Cedric - Huth - Oshea - Turner
    Haz - Ozil - Milner - Chadli - Fletcher
    Aguero - Rooney - Deeney

    Thoughts?

    Well, that's my first RMT of the season. I'm sure I'll still tinker with that, but would be very cool to have your opinion on this.

    Schmeichel/Panti

    Hazard - Mane - Walcott - Henderson - Ritchie

    Rooney - Deeney - Sakho

    1. Louis99

      Do you have a plan for aguero?

      1. Red Star Toro
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Not really. I might go with cheaper GKs so I can afford Walcott + Rooney -> Kun + Chadli

        1. Louis99
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 6 months ago

          Good team imo

  18. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Mane has a lot of competition and may come off early now and again; but when you own a player capable of scoring a hattrick in two minutes and 56 seconds it doesn't really bother you 🙂

    1. Ziro Becomes One
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Surely that was a fluke?

      1. Ziro Becomes One
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 6 months ago

        Or a better question, did he score a brace in any other game? I guess once or twice.

    2. Lucy.
      • 12 Years

      Villa were really, really bad.

    3. Toast
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 6 months ago

      Hi Giggs...you seem a big Mane fan. Can you convince me to keep him over Milner? That extra 1.0 is proving quite useful at the moment:

      A. Sakho and Milner
      B. Wilson and Mane

  19. brankoz11
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 6 months ago

    Did anyone else watch the Chelsea game last night? I feel like Zouma might crack into the starting eleven if Terry gives a couple more bad performances and Azpiculetta might face the axe although theres no one really to replace him.. He got shredded by Pedro and was at fault for the whole.

    Obviously coming from an Ivanovic owner.. Damn Chelsea looked good, I honestly feel like stacking up on Chelsea, City and Arsenal players are the way to go. Even tho theres love for United and Liverpool I just feel like there isnt many goals in the clubs even tho people have rated their performances when you compare it to Chelsea or Arsenal even City they are on another level.

    1. Zero
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      It'll be Cahill that has his place at risk rather than Terry I would imagine at this stage. I'm with you about Chelsea, City and Arsenal though. I'm considering Silva and Sterling at the moment together but it damages the balance of the team.

      Considering 5.5 itb thats a pretty strong team! is the 5.5 to bring Aguero and Sanchez in?

    What are the thoughts on this. Think there is a good balance and lots of fire power:

    Butland, schmiechel
    Azpi, cedric, Francis, oshea, ward
    Haz, wally, sterling, hendo, anya
    Rooney, tekkers, sakho

      Anybody think of trying Wilshere? Think he score 2 gol last season v West Ham. 2 arsenal midfield and Giroud or Defender?

    Thoughts on Afellay for Stoke? Contemplating having him as my 5th Mid and Bojan as my 3rd striker.

      He sounds very injury prone. I would avoid at first. A 5.5m player is not easily replaced.

      I have good feelings for stoke so not bad idea

      I agree, I think he is very good value, not sure about doubling up though

    RMT would be much appreciated

    Butland McCarthy
    Morgan Mings Richards Sakho S Taylor
    Silva Hazard Walcott Sterling Ibe
    Rooney Deeney Ade

    Enough money for Rooney to Aguero, and Ade only if he moves to Villa

    Thanks

    Cannot decide, start GW1 with a very balanced team, maybe (probably) with Hazard as only "very expensive" player. Or go for bot hazard and plan for Aguero?

    First thing is that i have a picture so you don't have to look at me like im different xD

    What are we thinking of this team guys?

    Ruddy Butland
    Azpi Francis Huth Ward O'Shea
    Haz Wally Tadic Milner (Wanyama)
    Costa Rooney Sakho

    Pretty set on it , only queries are not having a city player in , but im not feeling them and there hard start and aguero will come in due course

      Personally, i'm not sold on Tadic or Milner. Tadic was a constant dissapointment last year apart from his mega haul and Milner's role in the team is unknown atm. I'd rather have Hendo at the same price, although Milner could come good in the future.

      Rest looks solid!

        Thanks mate, i know you could class Tadic as my 'punt' - and yeah i think milner has more of an attacking threat but hendo on pens so ill probs choose Hendog
