The 2023/24 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season is almost upon us, with champions Manchester City visiting newcomers Burnley in tonight’s big kick-off.

As a result, the questions on team drafts, specific players and differentials are coming thick and fast in the comments section, so we’ve asked 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.

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 â€˜Rate My Team’ tool available in the Premium Members Area.

    Looking to the long term with this one, with 1 mil ITB for any adjustments

    Tell me Im not mad! (3 5 2)

    Pickford (Turner)
    Gabriel Tarkowski [rotate one of 4.0 enablers (Beyer Baldock Kabore)]
    Saka Eze Salah Bruno Rashford
    Haaland Pedro (Osula)

    1. Patrick Cobbold

      Your keepers rotate well over the first few weeks
      Your midfield looks good
      I ended up taking Pedro out in fear of rotation, and brought Vini in to allow for Son instead of Odegaard in midfield to make a nice pair of differentials in Son and Bowen
      Your defence is very bare you could upgrade one of the 4.0 to Rico Henry for 4.5 (Beyer)

      My squad is in the message box above yours. Give me a roast

    Gakpo or Darwin?

      • 14 Years

      Darwin imo

    2. Nokanenogain
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Gapko. Darwin likely to be on bench more

    Good afternoon all you wonderful people. We’re looking to recruit two new members to our Maniacs FPL Whattsapp group. We’ve been running as a group of friends for over 6 years now and can boast a top four finish amongst our ranks. Three of our members are in the Top 100 for lifetime overall ranks. We’re looking to broaden our knowledge base on Burnley, Luton, Brighton, Brentford, Forest, Palace, Villa, Everton, Sheffield Utd and Wolves. If you support any of those clubs, are into hardcore FPL and looking to make some mates and have a laugh. Send me an email with a little about you to simonalcroft@outlook.com. Have a great season everyone.

    Think I’m fairly set on this. Would appreciate your thoughts.

    Johnstone
    Stones, Gabriel, Estu, Mings
    Salah, Saka, Rashford, Eze
    Haaland, Watkins

    (Turner, Baldock, Baptiste, Archer)

    1. Patrick Cobbold
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Possibly Pau over Ming's for same price and a replacement for Baptiste with the possibility of more minutes

  7. The butts
    • 15 Years

    Is it worth upgrading from Anderson (Newcastle) to Caicedo (Liverpool) as my 5th midfielder

    1. Jeremy Corbyn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Lol

  8. Muckylil

    Hi people Ive never played this before so need some help please. Question is are you best having cheaper substitutes so uve got more money to spend on playing team ?

    1. Patrick Cobbold
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Hi there, it's better to have a bench of cheaper players likely to get playing time than "dead" players
      I'll give you my bench as an example
      Gk Turner Should be first choice for Nottm For costs 4.0
      Fwd Vinicius 5.0 forward playing for Fulham back up to Mitrivich
      Def Gjard Man City Def waiting to see what part he plays in Pep roulette
      Def Pau Costs 4.5 playing for Villa for fixtures rotation when fixtures improve
      That leaves me 81.5 million to spend on my first 11

  9. Hairy Potter
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    This look okay? I've got 2.0 ITB

    Johnstone
    Gabriel Estupinan Tarkowski
    Saka Martinelli Rashford Jota
    Haaland Watkins JPedro

    Turner Chilwell Anderson Kabore

    Plan with the 2.0 ITB would be to either upgrade Sarr to a 6.5 mid or JPedro to Gakpo/Darwin/Jackson after seeing how teams looked in GW1.

  10. NotsoSpursy
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    A) Eze
    Or
    B) Mitoma

    Both have ok fixtures

    1. Patrick Cobbold
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Eze longterm

  11. Dr_AhmedE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Martinelli or Odegard. ?

    Salah versus rashford team?

    1. Patrick Cobbold
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Odegaard minutes

  12. Bevan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Pickford
    Shaw, Chilwell, Estu
    Rashford, Saka, Marti, Trossard
    Haaland, Watkins, Jackson

    Bench: Turner, Garnacho, Tarkowski, Kabore (0.5m in bank)

    1. BlueEddy
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Looks good. Personally not a fan of Pickford. I like the Trossard pick...if he plays...

      1. Bevan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        That's fair, I'm kinda hoping Dyche does his thing at Everton this season. Also got the rotation with Turner.

        1. BlueEddy
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          He seems to be the pick of the 4.5 keepers but I've been burned with him in previous seasons... Good luck!!

  13. BlueEddy
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Going without Salah scares me, but u think I can get a more balanced squad this way. What do you reckon?
    Steele/Sánchez
    Estu Gabriel Chilwell (Labore Baldock)
    Sala Ode Rashford Madison (Anderson)
    Watkins Jackson Haaland.
    I'm tempted to go for jota or Darwin instead of Watkins/ Anderson. What do you think. Gtg? Any changes? Cheers and good luck everyone!!

    1. muggaz

      i'm having Salah because incase he goes well, he is much harder to shoe horn in than cover out.

      1. BlueEddy
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        True, but will Salah, Joao Pedro and, say, Richarlison outscore Odegaard, Watkins and Maddison?

  14. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Steele to start but goalkeepers rotation on the horizon.

    Seems important enough news

    "RDZ confirms Steele will start in goal, but plans to rotate keepers throughout the season"

    1. BlueEddy
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Thanks for that!! Having Robert Sánchez in will hopefully cover that. If Kepa leaves for Bayern, he will be Chelsea's No 1...

  21. Joesandover
