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

The deadline for Gameweek 27 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is fast approaching and the questions are, as ever, coming thick and fast in our comments section.

Most of these are requests for advice on transfer dilemmas or Free Hit drafts and it’s with that in mind that we’ve asked five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, to answer some of them over the next 60 minutes.

He’ll be on hand to firstly reply to requests from Premium Members in the Hot Topic below the line of this piece and will get through as many as he can until the next article goes up.

If there’s time, Tom will also turn his attention to other requests in the comments section.

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.

    -4 taken so far to get to the following:

    Foster
    Cancelo, Laporte, Ait-Nouri, Digne
    Son, Raphinha, Bowen
    Weghorst, Broja, Watkins

    Is it worth changing this to a FH?

    2 FH and BB left

      I would. Looks 'orrible to me :(. Really don't fancy that City defensive double up at all what with Dias out.

    Is King definitely out? If so, I may be forced towards Kane rather than Son who was my preference as I want to have at least 1 playing sub (will be relying on Sissoko instead of King as backup)

    I've had a study of Liverpool's fixtures between the CL 2nd leg (8th March) and their likely FA Cup fifth round (19th March).

    There are 4 games in that 12 day period - and the 2 games in between are Liverpool's DGW29 fixtures - bha and ARS.

    Whilst Salah probably plays all, I can very easily see any one of the backup brigade missing one of the DGW29 matches, most likely the bha one. So those looking to hold onto Robbo for instance for his "DGW" might want to reconsider, as could end up being only a SGW vs Arsenal.

    DDG
    Davies-Cucurela-Cancelo-Dowson
    Sancho-Bowen-Raphinha
    Jimenez-Watkins-KIng

    Bench - Ramsdale - TAA - Salah - Saka
    0.9 ITB

    Plan was King to Broja.
    But missing any Spurs or City coverage in the MID/FWD section.
    Also - is Watkins a starter now? Should I generally trust him...

    Hi Tom!
    my team right now is
    Sanchez
    Guehi Cancelo Dias Cash
    Bowen Olise Fernandes
    Edouard Weghorst Broja

    This is with the free transfer used. I am almost certainly wildcarding in GW28. Is it worth it taking a hit for Salah to Son or mahrez and play hi instead of olise, edouard or cash?

    Free hit gtg?

    Pope
    Bednarek, Roberts, Shaw
    KDB(V), Fernandes, Son, JWP
    Kane, Weghorst(C), Broja

    Matthews, Amartey, McArthur, Tsimikas

    Thanks 🙂

      It's from last week, isn't it?

    Looking forward to your opinions on this team.
    No hits taken, FT used, 5 DGWers, FHs in GW30 and GW33. No WC left.

    Foster²
    Alexander-Arnold | Cancelo | Robertson | Rüdiger² | Ait Nouri²
    Salah (c) | Mahrez | Son
    Dennis² | Broja² (vc)
    (Ramsdale | Gallagher | Bowen | 4.4m)
    0.7 in the bank.

    A) Good to Go.
    B) Gallagher > Fraser / Willock (-4) and bench Dennis².
    C) Something else.

    For option B, I am thinking Newcastle mids will score more than 8 points, enough to surpass the 4 points (?) of Dennis this week and give me an extra DGWer next week.

    Is Ait Nouri nailed? Need a 4.4 defender with a Dgw who plays in 30 as well

      No, he competes with Marcal.
