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

The deadline for Double Gameweek 29 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is less than 24 hours away 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 chip strategy and so 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 first 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.

    Cancelo and Ramsey to Robbo and Martinelli (-4)?

    Gives me:
    Sanchez
    TAA Robbo Tierney
    Salah Son Saka Martinelli Raph
    Maupay Weghorst
    (Pope Broja Saiss James)

    Best mid upto 6.8 to replace Bowen?
    Ideally should play in GW30 as well as no FH available.

    Current mid - Salah, Son, Saka, D Luiz, Bowen

    1. waltzingmatildas

      Kulu, Martinelli, Odegaard?

      1. acidicleo

        maxed up spurs... will consider martinelli but that will max up arsenal as well..

    2. Bobby_Baggio

      Kulu

    Afternoon all. FH'ing in GW30 and still got another FH, WC and BB. 0.1m ITB. Thanks all

    DDG
    Lamptey - Cancelo - TAA - Rudiger
    Foden - Willock - Son - Saka - Salah
    Antonio

    (Foster) - Livra - Broja - Weghorst

    A) DDG > Ramsdale
    B) Cancelo + DDG > Doherty + Ramsdale (-4)
    C) Anything else

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I like A over B supposing you have money tied in Cancelo. After that can you afford to sell Antonio (+ Weghorst) for Laca?

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        No dont have money tied into cancelo 0.1m so could take him out and put back in. I could do for -8 Cancelo + DDG + Weghorst > Doherty + Rams + Laca

  4. Baps hunter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    R James and Ramsey out for?

    A) Kulusevski + Coady (exact money)
    B) Kulu + White (leaves 0.4 itb)
    C) Martinelli + Doherty (leaves 0.9 itb)
    D) Something else, what?

    I already have Kane, Son, Saka and Ramsey, so can get only one Spurs and Gunner. I rate Kulu far higher than Doherty, but Arsenal has better fixtures. Getting Tierney and Kulu would mean taking extra hit and downgrading Chris Wood(!) who has double this week.

      B

      I'd like to shift Ramsey too.

    2. Bobby_Baggio
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B not keen on Coady but like Kulu

    How many DGW players are people aiming for this week? Would 4 be enough or should I consider -4 or -8 to bring in another 1 or 2?

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

    Team GTG or any changes?

    Sa
    TAA Doherty White
    (c)Salah Kulu Saka Raph
    (vc)Kane Jimi Broja

    Foster Rudi Liv Ramsey

    1. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I’d play Rudi over White

  9. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Is this crazy?

    de Gea (Manchester United in poor form),
    van Dijk (maybe Covid),
    Bowen (injured) and
    Adams (poor form)

    ->

    Ramsdale (double game week),
    Doherty (double game week),
    Kulusevski (double game week) and
    Kane (double game week)

    for - 12?

    Thank you!

      Good moves

  10. Kingy109
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    For at least next 2 game weeks:

    A) Son, Broja, Jimenez
    B) Gordon, Che Adams, Kane

    ??

    What are Cancelo's chances of starting? Need him as part of BB.
    Thanks guys

  12. acidicleo
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Chances of these 2 starting?

    A) King
    B) Cancelo

  13. GoonerGirl
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Which moves look best for the coming game weeks and long term?

    A) Raphinha > Son and Rudiger > Doherty
    B) Raphinha > Kuluseski Livramento or Kilman > Doherty

    1. bso
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Just did B

      1. GoonerGirl
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, would love to have Son but I guess option B allows me to keep Rudiger and have money for other upgrades later on.

  14. The Tinkerman
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    A) TC Salah this week
    B) Save and TC KDB in DGW36

    City are likely to have better fixtures in 36 than Liverpool do this week.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      It's possible that the league is already won by GW36 though.

  15. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    What do people with van Dijk?

    Thank you!

    1. Corona is not good 4 U
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Do people think that he will play or that he has Covid?

  16. ksawhney

    What do you ll think about getting Foden in? I know he’s not playing in GW30.. but seems like a differential right now.. torn between getting in Raphinia or Foden for Bowen

    1. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      leeds are so poor ryt now...so foden imo..

      1. acidicleo
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        having said that i wud consider raph if i didnt have budget for foden.

  17. ksawhney

    Hi Tom, who do you think is a better replacement for Bowen - Foden or Raphinia?

    1. acidicleo
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      foden

    1. Buu
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      On a FH it’s a decent shout. Not sure I’d go there otherwise…
