With Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) almost upon us, 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, captaincy, 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.

    Chasing hard. How is this for a -4?

    Grealish. Jota > Eze. Kane c

    Struggling on what to do…2FT

    De Gea
    TAA Trippier Estupian
    Salah Rashford March Mitoma
    Haaland Isak Watkins

    Bench: Iverson, Grealish, Dalot, Williams

    A) Grealish -> Gibbs White (week punt)
    B) Watkins -> Wilson
    C) Dalot -> Botman
    D) Burn a transfer

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      D

    2. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      B. But if you want to buy Bruno fernandes later on, then maybe sell Dalot, but probably not for a Newcastle defender.

  6. Jönny
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    If one was looking for City team news leaks tomorrow, where would one look?

    Planning to roll transfer unless Grealish is benched.

    1. Nazz
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      what will you do with grealish?

      1. Jönny
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Probably another City midfielder!

  7. Bubbles1985
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    To save a few quid, is Dalot nailed? Or should I stick with Gabriel > Shaw instead?

    1. Bubbles1985
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Currently on this:

      Steele
      TAA Tripp Mings
      Salah[vc] Rashford Mitoma March
      Haaland[c] Watkins Isak

      Kepa Martinelli Gabriel Neco

      1. Nazz
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        nope go for shaw
        you are well set up for next gws whats ur strategy

        1. Bubbles1985
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Thanks.

          I'm thinking...

          Gabriel, March, Watkins - out
          Shaw, Bilva, Wilson - In

          -4 over the next 2 GWs

    2. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I would certainly go for Shaw. More upside

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Thanks, was just trying to save the 0.5m!

    3. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Shaw

  8. Nazz
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Play Mings or Trippier??

  9. AntonioM
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Brought in KDB on WC last week. Got IFT and zero IB.

    Got Botman as 1st sub. Assuming no reliable team leaks before deadline should I hold him or move him to Bruno who I omitted on WC ? Think KDB could also be a minutes risk at Everton in GW36 too {Already got 3 Bri & New)

  10. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Play Gabriel (flagged, new) or Burn (ARS, have Tripps)?

    Bench Mitoma, March or Watkins?

  11. joshphillips465
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Debating bringing Steele in, but not sure it’s worth it. Might just hold transfer for DGW. What do we think?

    Raya
    Trippier Estupinan TAA
    Mitoma Salah Grealish Rashford
    Toney Haaland Isak

    Ward Mings Mee Murphy

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I would hold. 2 FT's next week could prove to be valuable

  12. Kryptonite666
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Should I punt on Enciso or Welbeck?

    Need to deal with both Grealish and Jota

    so it will be Grealish + Jota to Fernandes + Welbeck/ Enciso for a -4

    Cant go Wilson as I already have triple NEW.

    1. Nazz
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      why do u feel u need to deal with grealish

      have u got another city player in mind for their double

      1. Kryptonite666
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Grealish will likely be benched this week.

  13. sergioaguero67
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Till gameweek 38

    Gabriel Jesus or Julian Alvarez?

    Please help

    1. No Kane No Gain
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Jesus

  14. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Use FT on Grealish to Mahrez or play March?

  15. undersarmy
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Overall Rank 26K
    Roll FT this week??
    Kepa
    TAA Dunk Mings
    Salah(vc) Grealish Mitoma Rashford
    Watkins Isak Haaland(c)
    Raya March Trippier Botman

    1. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I don't know but your backline looks like you're saying Trent sucks at basketball...

      1. undersarmy
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        Ha!!

  16. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Will Jota play?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Only Klopp knows. My guess is no, so likely transferring him out to Wilson

  17. No Kane No Gain
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Any fellow Jota starters this gameweek and praying?!

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      I'm trying to decide whether to start him or Isak .

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      As above I’m gonna get rid, to Wilson I reckon, brink Isak in the week after

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        You might actually get the same minutes this week out of jota and 1 from Wilson/Isak

        1. RICICLE
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          It’s possible but I really do not trust Jota starting, especially after that DGW farce

          1. George Sillett
            • 10 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            I like the idea of the Toon double up

            1. RICICLE
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 27 days ago

              Yeah it’s a sound enough move aint it, plus I am chasing big time! Need to try something.
              May do Jota + Tark > Wilson + TAA for a hit

      2. theplayer
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 27 days ago

        What's the thinking behind this?

        1. theplayer
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 27 days ago

          Wilson for 1 week I mean

          1. RICICLE
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 27 days ago

            I’d be keeping Wilson and adding Isak also for their Double

            1. theplayer
              • 12 Years
              3 years, 27 days ago

              Ah gotcha

              1. RICICLE
                • 3 Years
                3 years, 27 days ago

                Yeah I like the thought of going double attack rather than double NEW defence 🙂

  18. undersarmy
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    Might do Grealish to Foden.....good idea?? Y/N

    1. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      If there’s early news I think it’s a fun punt to swap G for Mahrez or Foden

    2. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      yes! for me it is.

    3. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Depends on your bench . Saving an FT could be very useful

  19. RogDog_jimmy
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 27 days ago

    I'm going rogue at the end of the season.

    MacAllister & Robertson > Foden & Bueno (-4).

    DDG
    Bueno, TAA, Stones
    Foden(vc), Salah, Mitoma, March, Rashford
    Haaland(c), Solanke

    Raya, Toney, Shaw, Botman

    Have fun with it all!

  21. JohnLoken
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Play Shaw or Trippier?

    1. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 27 days ago

      Need a poll on this one. Opposition says Shaw but Trippier has much more attacking threat and is playing at home. I've had Shaw in my lineup all week but I'll go with the magpie.

  22. mlsuspiro
