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.

    someone said on the CPL forums that Guaita starts & Gallagher isnt in the team. I dont know how reliable this is but I'm only stating what someone else said.

    source is CoysFPL

    1. el polako

      We need a man in the stand to tell us who's at the ground.

    2. FPL_ UP_Down
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      If Gallagher is out that -4 for Jota make sense ?

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

      That's what I've seen from a different user on a Palace forum too.

    1. Taribo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Very similar to mine. I’ve gone for Sanchez & Lowton over Bachman & Lamptey.

      Plan to move Salah to KDB or Sterling, so will have cash to spare next week. Keeping an eye on DCL.

  10. Edinho

      Both! If you can afford it

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    cheap striker options is crap, no idea what to do

    1. FPLtfs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Broja is Ok if you need one.

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

      Expensive ones are also crap. Save money, buy cheap.

    3. Michelle Davin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Eduord

    4. Arteta
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      King is okay if you don't have Dennis yet.

  14. FPLtfs

    Captain:
    A) Kane

      • 3 Years

      Made my Ramsdale to Lloris transfer but it stalled for a good 15 seconds

    2. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      People still holding out are taking a risk. Make those transfers before it's too late

  16. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Son or Jota for captain?

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

      Son

  17. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Laca to Kane done. Do I go all the way and captain him or just stick with Son?

    1. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Made the same move, sticking with Son. Owning Kane differential enough imo

  18. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Dyche going to announce Covid in the Burnley camp and that they are pushing for United game postponement at 1:15pm just as the site crashes?

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Source or just guessing?

    2. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

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

    Which one to play?

    A) King (WHU)

  20. kenzo.

    No bad news about eduoard right

    1. Duke Silver ☑
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Has no players behind him 😆

  21. iL PiStOlErO
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Gtg or play Broja instead of Dier?

    DDG
    TAA Rudi Cancelo Dier
    Son(C) Jota Bilva Bowen
    CR7 Dennis

    3.9. Broja Tierney D. Luiz

  22. Johnnyblaze
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Bench one for this GW:

    A)Dennis
    B)James
    C)Broja

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      C

  23. School of Poch
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Probably playing with 10 because of Mbuemo doubt.

    Mbuemo > Maddison (-4) or wait till next GW and play 10 this week.

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo James Liv
    Son Jota Bilva Mbuemo
    Ron Antonio

    Bach White Hwang McArthur

    1. Johnnyblaze
      • 8 Years

      Not worth the hit

      1. School of Poch
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Seems to be the consensus. Thanks.

  24. DandyDon

    Hi Tom doing Lacazette to Antonio. Worth transferring out White or Livramento for a -4 to get 11 out and if so who’s a good option!? Only 5.2mil available (for white) so just short of affording Regulion.

  25. sirmorbach
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Friends, I apologise for insisting, but have to leave: Lloris over Ramsdale worth a hit or play with no keeper?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yes if you don't want Ramsdale longterm. Lloris has better possible DGW fixtures

    2. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I'm going no keeper as need 2 ft for next week

      • Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I'd do it

      • IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        A) Antonio
        B) King
        C) Edouard

    3. The Mighty Whites
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Captain Ronaldo or Son?

    4. jai1212
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Need to ship out Targett, these are the options:

      A. Mitchell
      B. Laporte
      C. Coufal

    5. It’s gonna Ben Mee
      • 10 Years

      Has the FPL servers crashed yet?

    6. banskt
      • 10 Years

      On topic RMT surgery.

      Ramsdale, 4.0m
      TAA, Cancelo, Lamptey, Rudiger, Dalot
      Jota, Bernardo, Son, Gallagher, Bowen
      Dennis, Watkins, Lacazette
      4.2m itb, 1FT

      No Salah. No GK. 10 players out with Lamptey (v chelsea) on bench but Gallagher potentially covid.
