With Gameweek 34 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 questions on transfers, Free Hits, differentials 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.

If you’d like to receive an email notification letting you know when future RMT Surgery’s are live, you can now do so. When editing your profile, under ‘Alerts & Notifications’, you’ll find a section on ‘Email Notifications’. In there is an option for ‘Rate My Team Surgery’, check that box and you will receive an email letting you know when the surgery is about to go live.

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.

  5. Jimmy Boy
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Who is more nailed for DGW out of Lindelof and Wan-Bissaka? For my bench boost 5th defender

    1. Bobby Digital

      3 years, 1 month ago

      Lindelol

  6. Bishopool

    Ederson* (Iversen)
    TAA* Estupi* Dalot* Tripp Zouma*
    Salah* Grealish* Rash* March* Andreas*
    Haaland* Jota* Solanke

    * - dgw players

    What would you do?

    a) BB
    b) TC Haaland

    1. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      BB looks good

  7. Mr Tin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Saka/Grealish v KDB/March on FH? Currently on the latter but risk of KDB limited minutes?

    1. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I thinl theres a risk of a KDB benching, but who knows..

    2. Mclarke1985
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Latter for me, kdb will score points even with limited minutes

    3. Keep calm and hoof me the b…
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      KDB March far stronger. Ask yourself which of those you'd rather your ML opponent had

      1. Mr Tin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah that's where I'm at. Overthinking it probably. Thanks all.

  8. For Fuchs Sake
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone else got the TC on Haaland?

    1. Rantallion
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Everyone who still has the TC chip, I imagine.

  9. Rojo's Modern Life
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Saka Martinelli Raya Zinchenko

    To

    Rashford KDB Steele Lindelof

    For -12... Chasing 50pt deficit in ML, no one has KDB (yet)

    1. pablo discobar
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Captain Salah

  10. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) TAA*, Shaw* (-8)
    B) Robertson*, Dias* (-8)
    C) TAA*, Botman (-4)
    C) Robertson*, Lindelof* (-4)
    D) Dias*, Botman

    Cheers!

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      TAA, Dalot an option?

      I went that way since I was a bit short on funds to go Shaw.

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers, nope it would still be for a -8 unfortunately

    2. Hy liverpool

      C.

      1. Catastrophe

        Cheers

  11. Deulofail
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Robertson a good pick or Tsimikas makes him too much of a risk?

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Too much of a risk in my opinion

    2. Keep calm and hoof me the b…
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm more tempted by Stones or Shaw I think

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I think he's a solid pick, would be surprised if Tsimikas starts

      1. Hy liverpool
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Vs fulham, tsmikas might start if robbo doesn't subbed off early vs tottenham.

  12. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Guess Im the only one debating Isak vs Martial… lol

  13. Mclarke1985
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you take a -4 hut to bring in jota (for toney)? I have one free transfer but would need to swap zinchenko for lindelof to free up the funds. Seems a reasonably safe bet given loverpools fixtures but brentford do also have a good fixture thus week

    Steele raya
    Zinchenko, trent, trippier, Mee, stones
    Salah, rashford, mitom, march, grealish
    Toney, haaland, watkins

  14. GC123
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    KDB’s flag has been removed? Sounds promising

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Took it off him and gave it to Jota.

      1. GC123
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Lol. Yay me!

    Alright Tom hope you are doing well this double gameweek weekend. A quick question regarding if you still had your free hit and triple captain chips to play after wildcarding GW33 wold you triple captain this gameweek and hold free hit for either GW36,37,38? Team is at the moment Ederson, Veltman, Robbo,Shaw. Salah,Rashford, Mitoma, MacAllister and Grealish. Haaland and Isak. Bench Iversen, Watkins,Trippier and Toti. 1ft and 1.9m itb

  16. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which Better 5 on FH ?
    A) Steele + Lindelof + Robbo + Stones + Bruno
    B) Ederson + Estupinan + Shaw + Mitoma + Jota
    C) Steele + Lindelof + Coufal + Bruno + Jota
    D) Steele + Shaw + Akanji + Bruno + Isak

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I feel D more Different than the rest

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Really close, A or B seems to have more upside with the likes of Robbo & Mitoma

    3. GC123
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      D

  17. 50ShadesOfGray
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Why is everyone going for Isak over Wilson?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Younger

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      This week is isak turn to cook.. Both of them are pushing each other.

  18. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Worth bringing in Enciso for Ferguson on my FH for this week? I can't afford Stones, Walker worth a punt? If not, best defender up to 4.8m?

  19. FPL Equilibrium
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Ake - VVD for free
    B) Ake - Dias for Free
    C) Watkins & Ake - Solanke and Trent -4

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      C

    2. Mr Tin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      B

  20. 50ShadesOfGray
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Team A or B?

    De Gea
    Trippier Stones Estu
    MITOMA Salah Martinelli March Grealish
    Haaland WILSON
    (MARTINEZ, Lindelof, WHITE, Watkins)

    1. Mr Tin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B Definitely

      1. 50ShadesOfGray
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Me and my fat fingers love pressing post mid way through

  21. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    On FH. Play:

    A) Trippier and Grealish (3 games)
    B) Stones and Mitoma (4 games)

    1. Keep calm and hoof me the b…
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B by a country mile for me

  22. Roshen
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Current team:
    Raya
    Tripp, Shaw, Est
    Saka, Grealish, Rash, Mitoma, Mac Allister
    Haaland, Kane
    Kepa / Castagne, Chilwell, Watkins

    Have 2FT, moves I consider:
    a. Saka + Watkins -> Salah + Greenwood
    b. Saka + Kane -> Jota + KDB (no money for Salah)
    c. Chilwell + Saka -> TAA + Gakpo
    d. Chilwell + Watkins -> TAA + Isak
    e. Chilwell + Saka + Watkins -> TAA + Salah + Alvarez (-4)

    a. looks appealing to me, cause it leaves almost no question about who to bench and maximize starting team value

    any thoughts?

  23. CheesyZoot
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What’s the Jota news? Just saw he’s flagged….

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Knock to the back. Hopefully he plays.

    Any help here would be massively appreciated or better suggestions.

    Kepa
    Tripp/ Shaw/ Gabriel
    Saka/ Grealish/ Martinelli/ Madds/ Mitoma
    Watkins/ Haaland
    Ward/ Toney/ Chilwell/ Tarks

    2FT/ 2.9 ITB/ Using BB

    A- Thinking of Ward, Saka, Madds and Watkins to Steele, Salah, Rashford and Ferguson for -8

    B- Or -4 to keep Madds instead of Rashford. Feel he’s about to find form again for Leicester’s run in and need some further payment for my loyalty other than assist in last game!

    Watching Liverpool's twitter handle for training pics and videos and I couldn't find Jota in any of them..not conclusive though
