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.

    Ferran Torres

    "The player has signed a contract for the next five seasons, until 30 June 2027, and his buyout clause has been set at 1,000 million euros."

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      Who is Ferran talking about?

    1. tiger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      What! Too many unknowns this season

  11. tiger

  13. KANTEnders

    Bale rested?

  14. diesel001

    No scenes today. FPL website was fine. Only got yourselves to blame for your transfers now.

    1. DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Some people will always find someone or thing to blame but themselves

  15. Rainer

    Just a shame the site didn't go down again to see the tears & turmoil.

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Any more Spurs updates? 😉

  16. FER FUSCH AKE

    Went Kane{C} wish me luck.

  17. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    I think the site crashes for those that are not on 5G and have not had their BOOSTER JAB. #JustSayin

  19. Mr. O'Connell
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Feels like a season-defining/ending week

    Lost 3 Arsenal
    No Salah
    (C) benched
    No bench to fall back on
    Starting on -8

    1. PocketZola
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      whos benched?

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      How you know your cap is benched?

    3. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Who did you cap?

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Just on the wind up with Son (c). Nothing credible to say he's benched... yet. Another stinking gameweek ahead tho no doubt.

    So they upgrade the servers now!

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I think it was all those FH chips.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm assuming it was a deluge of last-second free hits that crashed it. Not so many played today.

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Less people free hitting all at once

  21. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Panic. Went Son to Jota(C) last minute.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Same here!

  22. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    So Son owners sold Salah due to his blank only for Son to now blank!

  23. JariL
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    First WC used! Ended up with:

    DDG
    TAA / Cancelo / Reguilon
    Salah (C) / Son / Jota / Maddison / Bowen
    Antonio / King

    Sanchez // Emerson / Broja / Livra

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Decent

  24. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    TAA cap lets go

    1. Zladan
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Let’s go! I was so close to removing it from him as deadline approached but I held strong.

      24 pointer incoming.

    1. Zimo
      • 5 Years

    2. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 11 Years

      Big loss in fairness.

    3. Utopsis

  26. Gooner97

      I went Son to Jota(C) because of this.

  29. raymonds
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Had to use Wildcard. Ended up with Kane C.

    Bad news for Ferran Torres captainers...

    https://twitter.com/ManCity/status/1475821421867814917

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years

      Good news for Man City attacker owners. One fewer players to worry about getting Pep'd by.

    2. fantasist
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      He will score a lot of goals when back fit. Shame we won't see him reach his potential in FPL.
