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

334 Comments
Share

With Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) nearing, five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman is here to help with your pre-deadline dilemmas for the next hour.

Whether it’s thoughts on Erling Haaland (£12.2m), the best three-week punts or anything in between, Scout’s Deputy Editor will tackle whatever’s thrown at him.

Tom will 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.

You can, as ever, chip in with your own opinions on the RMT requests filtering through – and naturally, you’re 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.

Who played the most minutes over the March international break?

        Each week people predict the line-ups, the ones at the top are the most accurate historically and are higher weighted for a 'skill weighted' average (the bottom bold row)

    Would you rather ply Barnes or Andrea’s?

      Haaland (C) and Salah (VC)

      If Halland plays he will haul. If he won't start he surely won't get any minutes so Salah will be the man.

    Estupinan and Bowen to Shaw and Rashford for a hit?

    Or just do the Bowen move and play Neco or Jonny?

      Same boat here with Estupinan as third defender and Bowen owner. For me that move is -4.

      I am leaning to Saka and White though.

    Trippier, Cancelo, Dier
    Salah, Martinelli, Foden, Andreas
    Haaland, Toney, Mitro

    Bench
    Guehi, Bowen, Emerson

    Trend seems to be get rid of Bowen
    do I

    A) Use my 1FT now and get someone in for Bowen and start him ahead of Andreas
    B) Roll the transfer ( Bowen has CRY, LEI, both at home GWS 15/ 16)

    Need advice for my team .. who to play .. I also have 1 free transfer .

    Pope
    Cancelo - Saliba - Trippier
    Salah (c) - A. Periera - Eze - Martinelli
    Haaland - Jesus - Toney
    SUBS :
    Anderson (Palace) - Gomez (Liverpool)- Gross

    I am thinking of transferring out (Gross) .. and getting one of Rashford or Foden .. but leaning to Rashford as he is in form and I think city will find it tough without Haaland
