Gameweek 2 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is drawing ever nearer and while most of us are content to roll a transfer, that won’t be the case for everyone.

So whether you’ve got a Gabriel Magalhaes (£5.0m)/John Stones (£5.4m) dilemma, are considering a Liverpool move or doing anything in between, five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, will be here 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 ‘Rate My Team’ tool available in the Premium Members Area.

    1. trafalgarlaw
      • 6 Years

      Im bench Mitoma this week for Richarlison

    Reposting as didn't get any comments previously.

    Turner
    Chillwell Gabriel Estu
    Salah Rashford Saka Martinelli Garnacho*
    Haaland Pedro

    bench: Johnstone Udogie 4.5 4.0

    A) save FT
    B) Garnacho to Enzo

    I was planning on saving FT but United were poor, and I'm not sure Garnacho keeps his place. Having 2 FTs would be nice to have more flexibility with future transfers. Played around with fpl.team, I don't need to do anything in GW3 unless I want to sell Salah.

    Thoughts?

    1. Old and Slow
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      As raw as Garnacho looked.... I'd roll the ft. Don't trust him or Enzo, to be fair... But for 5M... You are rolling the dice anyway.

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

        yeap, true. Not really a high upside move unless Enzo moves to 10.

    2. PL Ball
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Save the FT imo and reassess later. United looked better with Sancho on, but Garnacho is a solid impact sub too and could still get you something from the bench.

      And Enzo probably isn't exactly an upgrade tbh.

    3. DayOldBlues
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Who are the 4.5 and 4.0?

  4. PL Ball
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    A) Mbuemo (FUL H)
    B) Joao Pedro (Wol A)
    C) Watkins (Eve H)
    D) Maddison (MUN H)

    Bench one

          Estupinan ACL injury confirmed with that statement.

        Strong. G2G!

  6. TochanMama
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Bottomed..

    To bench or not to bench Stones?

    Turner
    Gabriel | Stones | Estu
    Rashford | Maddison | Saka | Mitoma | Martinelli
    Haaland | Watkins

    Onana | Henry | Baldock | Osula

    1. Old and Slow
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think I would actually pick Henry vs Fulham...

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

      I wouldnt mind starting Henry, even for Gabriel if you want to play Stones

      1. TochanMama
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        That's what, Stones might just end up with a 20 minute stint towards the end of the game, I doubt he got any playtime midweek.

    3. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I just read on the presser news Stones is out

  7. House Frey Wedding Planner
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Who to start:

    A - Shaw
    B - Gabriel

    1. Old and Slow
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B... All day long

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

    Any idea what to do with Trossard?

    Knew he came with risks so leaning towards starting him against Palace, but do worry about minutes... missed the drop too.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Hold for this week, see what happens.

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        He's in my team, hoping he starts.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm tipping him to lead the line on Monday

    3. Old and Slow
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      You knew he would be limited in minutes, but I bet he still gets a fair number of goals coming in late this season....

    Poch on Chelsea goalkeeper search: 'We'll assess all options'
    Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino on whether Chelsea are in the market for a new goalkeeper:

    "That is a good question because we are thinking of that.

    "We are exploring all of the situations and possibilities on the market.

      I see DDG has been turned down by Real.

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        In the same way I got turned down by Margot Robbie

        1. Brimble82
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          She turned you down too. I'm sorry man, it's tough isn't it.

          1. x.jim.x
            • 11 Years

            It’s as if she never wanted me in the first place!

    A Mings > 4.0 (to afford Gabriel to Chillwell next week)

    B Mings and Gabriel to Chillwell and 4.0 for -4pts

    C Silva > Maddison

    1. Patrick Cobbold

      Huzzah!

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        That settles it for me, Estupinan out for -12.

        1. Bartowski
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          I sold him last night for Robin Van Persie.

          1. JBG
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Good transfer that tbf.

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

    My GW2 Lineup

    Turner
    Chilwell, Pau, Estu
    Bowen, Eze, Rashford, Saka, Maddison (VC)
    Haaland (C), Jackson

    Bench: Onana, Gvardiola, Gabriel, Vinicius

    Transferred in Maddison for Son, have got 1.5 m in bank for GW3

  14. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Need a James replacement as I have no bench.

    Current defence
    Onana Turner
    James* Chilwell Estu Saliba Beyer

    James ->

    A) Colwill
    B) Gusto
    C) Henry
    D) Shaw
    E) Udogie
    F) Other?

    1. DayOldBlues
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Is this for a hit?

      1. AnfieldLad
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        No hit but no bench so need to make a transfer to field 11. Beyer to Gusto or Baldock is an option

        1. DayOldBlues
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          What's the rest of your team?

          1. AnfieldLad
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            Onana Turner
            Chilwell Saliba Estu James* Beyer*
            Salah Saka Rashford Foden Nakamba*
            Haaland Pedro Archer*

    2. Brimble82
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B. He'll be in everyone's teams within the next couple of GWs. May as well get in there early

    3. Bartowski
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      It's a shame you can only swap for a defender as Wood would have been useful with that particular predicament...

      1. AnfieldLad
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Wood ?

    More Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino on Reece James' injury: "It's not abut a few days, maybe a few weeks. The good thing is it is not a big issue. The big thing now is to try and anticipate problems and be sure that when he starts to play again he's fully fit and stronger than he was before."

    James to chillwell for -4 seems unnecessary?
    Got Henry and balddock otb

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      yes

    2. JBG

      Just start Henry and get Chilwell next GW

    3. Bggz

        Damn.

    4. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'd play Henry without hesitation.

  18. Hazz

    2 years, 4 months ago

    Another heads-up RE: James (Gusto buyers).

    International Break is after GW4. Two weeks after than till GW5.

    You could end up with Gusto for just GW2-4 (good fixtures in fairness although WHU tricky) if it's only a few weeks out for James.

    If you plan to WC after 4 then less of an issue.

  19. Definitely not sleeping
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Bench one:

    A. Pedro
    or
    B. Garnacho

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

      B

  20. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you bench GW2?
    A- B. Fernandes (vs Tot)
    B- Richarlison (vs Man U)
    C- Martinelli (vs Cry)
    D- Watkins (vs Eve)
    E- J Pedro (vs Wol)
    F- Jota (vs Bou)

    Onana (areola)
    Gabriel/Estu/Chill (Shaw/Beyer)

    I have 1.0.

    A: Play Eze over Wissa, no FT
    B: Transfer Maddison for Eze
    C: Transfer Turner for Areola
    D: Stay with this, no FT

  26. swanseag55
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Hi Tom, do I swap Foden to Diaby or hold for two transfers next week? Can see Diaby going up in price and a great fixture v Everton and think will hold him long term but as you know data is important.

    Cheers
