FPL Rate My Team surgery with five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman

Postponements, Covid outbreaks, injuries, rotation, quick turnarounds – it’s the most wonderful time of the year, alright.

Yes, another festive Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek is almost upon us and this one is proving to be perhaps the trickiest of the season so far, not helped by Brentford v Man Utd being called off and six Premier League managers not holding their pre-match press conferences until after Tuesday’s deadline.

As is always the case, the comments section of our site is filled with requests for advice on transfer dilemmas and team help. So we’ve asked five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, to answer some of them over the next hour.

He’ll be on hand to reply to comments below the line of this piece and will get through as many as he can until the next article goes up, with priority given to questions from Premium Members if there is a deluge.

As ever, you can chip in with your own opinions on the raft of RMT requests filtering through – and naturally, feel free to ignore the article subject matter and talk about any other wider FPL topics that you’d normally be musing on.

Don’t forget that, if it’s an algorithmic answer you’re after rather than an opinion-based one, we also have a ‘Rate My Team’ tool available in the Premium Members Area, which gives points projections for this weekend and beyond – an example of which is below:

          From what I saw v Brighton, I wasn't massively keen, but it's impossible to judge after just one match. I also don't think Ings will be a week-in, week-out starter, but could be wrong.

          Gerrard doesn't really play with out an out wingers though, at least he hasn't done so far, they are always quite narrow.

            With the FBs providing the width, Watkins likely to be playing closer to the CF/ Ings isn't too bad an option to consider especially if Ings drops deep to create space for Watkins to run behind

        This isn't true, vaccines can prevent infection. But of course they do not prevent all infection.

        The point about Omicron is that two jabs will give you no protection at all from infection. Whereas a booster will significantly improve protection.

          Can - but largely don't. Look at the 3rd wave in Israel post double-jab when Delta hit.

          Also 2 jabs against Omicron does provide protection - the question is all about when you were double jabbed. If it was a year ago - this is different from 2 months ago.

            Yes, I am talking about with three jabs, the all-important booster. It gives you some protection from infection, whereas the latest science is that you have zero or next o zero protection from infection with just two jabs. A 'sitting duck' was the phrase used by the BBC correspondent today.

            All of th above refers to Omicron, I should say.

                Most likely they are making it up as they go along although I did get covid 3 months after my second jab. It’s the second time I’ve had covid. The first time (when unvaccinated) I felt very rough for a week and then took a second week to recover. The second time I felt a bit rough for one day and took a second day to recover, tbh I’ve had colds that have been worse.

                  Probably because you're young? There is good data out there, but honestly anything Omicron related is early days. That's really bad luck man. In any case you're probably very well protected given you've had it twice and 2 shots.

                    I suspect I’m older than the vast majority on here! I’m absolutely no expert but my guess is that antibodies based on previous infection are better than vaccinations. I say this because my partner who has a much more healthy lifestyle, is vaccinated but hadn’t had covid before was rough for a week yet I was fine after a day or so

              False. There are studies which state that two doses will provide 50+% protection against the new variant. I'm guessing its because omicron has the same make-up of the original virus..

              I understand it raises protection from around 10% on average to 70%. For those with double Astra Zeneca jabs

              How can they possibly have enough data to support this? It's normal that most detected cases are symptomatic because thats why people get tested (generally). How do they know that there are zero asymptomic cases with Omicron without tonnes of data to support it?

                they are just saying that two vaccines don’t protect against catching Omicron, it’s down to the number of nodules that this variant connects to, they are many and different to the ones that the vaccines have targeted to protect - vaccines were quite targeted against previous strains but this one is different.

                Think of a shin pad protecting you against a kick on the shin and the only kick you can get is on the shin, then all of a sudden you can be kicked in 10 different places as well as the shin - the shin pad ain’t going to protect against a kick in the knackers

      Several factors:

      - early data suggests that Omicron is significantly more contagious
      - Winter is more conduicive to spread
      - vaccines only partially stop transmission / reduce symptoms

      He was named on the bench and wasn't needed as it was comfortable for Arsenal for most of the game, so I don't think you can read too much into his minutes in the last game.

      Whether Arteta will want to change a winning team is another matter.

    TAA - James - Reguilon*
    Salah (c) - Bernardo - Gallagher - ESR* - Cornet*
    Antonio - Dennis

    Foster* - Ronaldo* - Dalot* - Cancelo*

    I'm willing to play this gameweek without any bench players, because I refuse to sell them. Therefor it's really important to have 11 other starting players. Apart from possible extra games being postponed, these are the players that might not start:

    Cornet
    Reguilon
    ESR

    Arsenal and Spurs have nice fixtures (and double or triple gameweeks) coming up, therefor I don't want to sell and prefer to risk a blank. So basically I should just sell Cornet for a hit. The midfielders below 7.1 that caught my attention are Bowen and Gray. Both have nice fixtures coming up. So what do you think?

    a) Cornet > Bowen (-4)
    b) Cornet > Gray (-4)
    c) Cornet and Reguilon to ... and ... (-8)
    d) Cornet and ESR to ... and ... (-8)

    Or Livra to a 5th playing defender?

    Would you keep Vardy hoping the game won't be called off ?

    Also, would you play Raph or take a hit to remove him ?
