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

333 Comments

The next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline is less than 24 hours away, so there are transfer decisions to be made for millions of us ahead of Gameweek 35.

The questions on player purchases, captaincy picks and chip strategy are coming thick and fast in the comments section, with this week’s Double Gameweek 36 announcement concerning Manchester City presenting another challenge to our medium-term planning.

And so we’ve again asked five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, to answer some of your posers 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.

        I will be yes.

        I’m leading my cash ML by a slender margin and second place has Coutinho. Should I bring him in to cover?

      That's all three of those extra players producing and those that they're replacing blanking, just to break even. It's a gamble. If you're chasing in a ML , it might be worth it. If you're leading, it's not worth the risk.

        Yeah that’s what I thought thanks. I’m done for overall but leading a few cash monthly leagues my minimum 20pts so was kind of blocking but also for end of season. Maybe just two of the transfers will be sufficient.
