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

317 Comments
Share

Gameweek 3 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is drawing ever nearer and there are head-scratching decisions for plenty of FPL managers as we approach the Saturday deadline.

With that in mind, we’ve got five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, to answer some of your conundrums 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.

    Hi Tom!

    Really stuck on whether I should make the following transfers to my team, hope you can help..

    Sanchez Ward
    TAA James Cancelo Perisic Williams
    Salah Saka Martinelli Neto Dasilva
    Jesus Haaland Archer

    I’m thinking of moving to a 3-4-3 formation with the following transfers which will result in a 4 point hit:

    Patterson in for Perisic
    Mbeumo in for Archer

    I don’t think I’ll ever go with 5 at the back so Patterson will be permanently on the bench and I will switch between a 3-4-3 and a 4-3-3 formation if I go through with the transfers. But should I??

      I would hold the transfer mate, no need for hits at this stage of the season for unless to put out a major fire like Darwin and you have already used a transfer

      Definitely Williams as think Forest will score against Everton and Williams will get a clean sheet and maybe a return.

      Then it’s tough call between C or D

      Newcastle look a better side than Wolves, but City are elite and Spurs are very good

    My threemiums- KDB, Salah and Haaland. I have 1 FT . Fires to put out- no Jesus, no Martinelli and no Reece.
    Option 1- Take a hit to get in Jesus for a 4.5 FWD and remove KDB for Martinelli or Dias?
    Option 2- Take a hit by removing Digne for James and Martinelli for Kulusevski
    Option 3- Roll the transfer

    Can u suggest a viable option please?

      No easy answers, arsenal look like they have plenty of goals in them, but so do kdb Salah and haaland. Diaz has looked sharp for Liverpool. Not having Jesus could be very costly. Good luck
