Rate My Team

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 one of the trickiest of the season so far, not helped by Arsenal v Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leeds United v Aston Villa being called off.

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 right up until deadline.

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.

    Kevin De Bruyne looked like he was flagging in the second half of the 6-3 win over Leicester

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Means he was exhausted

    2. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      He was tired and shagged out after all that running back to his own half after Man City had scored.

    a) panic and take lots of hits
    b) flap and end up doing nothing ithrough indicision
    C) prepare a strongly worded email
    to FPL about how their site crashed and and it ruined your season

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Fair. I left King first bench but perhaps one of my starters will get rotated/dropped and have the decision made for me! Good luck
