The next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline is fast approaching, so there are transfer decisions to be made for legions of us ahead of Gameweek 4.

With that in mind, we’ve got 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 ‘Rate My Team’ tool available in the Premium Members Area.

    Between Mads for 352 or Watkins for a 343. Thinking more long term, leaning Maddison but 3 forwards seems a nice change up to maybe make some ground. What do you think?

    1. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Think there's enough cheap fwds, you could pick 3 to rotate and also have Maddison

    Have exact money for Shaw > Trippier

    Make the move tonight after deadline before Shaw drops in price again?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Could just do it now if you have a free transfer to use?

      1. corderz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        No would cost me -4

        After 6:30 it'll be free

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          It's way too risky to make the transfer tonight with an international break ahead

          1. corderz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 5 months ago

            I know, but will be priced out if I don't.......

  6. tique

    Hey guys benching headache.

    1. tique
      • 11 Years

      1. BremerHB
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Would do the same.

  7. janlu0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Who to bench?
    Ederson
    Gusto Estupian Romero
    Salah(V) JWP Saka March Mbeumo
    Haaland(C) Wissa

    Areola Alvarez Saliba Botman

    1. tique
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      You probably just got him but jwp benched for Alvarez

    2. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Id want Alvarez in first11

      bench March or JWP

      1. tique
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Bench March

  8. dekikide
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Having some Bench Headaches...

    Bench Udogie or Estupian?

    Bank - £3.1m

    Areola (Leno)

    Chilwell, Udogie, Walker (Estupiñan, Cash)

    Saka, Sterling, Mbeumo (VC), Rodrigo (B.Fernandes)

    Antonio, Haaland (C), N.Jackson

    1. The Biscuitmen
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Udogie

  9. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Everyone selling Rashford is going to be fun.

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Fun for those who sold Rashford I hope... 😆

    2. El_Matador
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Here's hoping 🙂

    3. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Rashford's going to roast Partey.

      Hojlund is set to get minutes too. The Denmark manager gave some big hints...

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I don't think Hojlund coming in is just suddenly going to be a good thing. He will take them some getting used to

  10. MrHi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Currently Have
    Ederson
    Chilwell ESTUPINAN Henry
    Foden Saka Maddison Sterling Mburmo
    Haaland Jackson

    Sub: Watkins, Saliba, Kabore

    2 questions:
    ESTUPINAN vs Saliba

    1. MrHi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      And Watkins vs: ???

    2. BremerHB
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Estu over Saliba
      Watkins on the bench seems right in that squad.

  11. kennethrhcp
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    bench 1

    A: Colwill (NFO)
    B: Estupinan (NEW)
    C: Mitoma (NEW)

      1. kennethrhcp

        thanks

  12. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A: Rashford, Bruno or Martinelli to Maddison?
    B: Start Udogie or Estupinan?

    1. BremerHB
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A: Martinelli
      B: Tricky. Probably Udogie.

    2. RealSocialDads
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A. Not Bruno, probably Martinellu
      B. Tough, I've got a similar dilemma below - currently benching Estu

    3. kennethrhcp
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A: one of the United lads if you must
      B: so tight. CS vs possible attacking returns

      I've been zero help

    4. neerajpant007
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A: Martinelli
      B: Udogie

  13. RealSocialDads
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bench one:

    A. Gusto
    B. Udogie
    C. Estu

    Already playing Chilwell and playing Isak if that makes any difference

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      C

  14. BremerHB
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Fernandes or Rashford on WC?

    1. Wobbles
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Bruno

    2. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Pens give Bruno the edge for mine

  15. mcflyjohn
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    So, my team is buggered. Bottom of my ML 800,000 overall (terrible punt on Richarlison)

    Where do I start?

    Onana / Areola

    Estu | Botman | Chilwell ¦ Odugie (Beyer)

    Salah | Mbeumo | Mitoma | Saka (Bruno)

    Pedro | Haaland (McAtee... I thought he was the City lad on loan)

    1 FT £0.6.ITB

    1. SamH123
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      800k after 3 weeks isn't really buggered
      play Bruno over Pedro i would have thought

  16. SamH123
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Fati Haaland Nunez is my dream front 3 if the first and last nailed their spots

  17. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    It's approaching the time of year where I get absolutely outraged that there is a shitty international break just 4 games into the season. Ridiculous.

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Something different to be outraged about. A change is as good as a rest.

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Haha I agree... so boring imo.

    3. RockLedge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Completely agree. It’s honestly the low point of the season.

    4. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I love internationals. Players from a different clubs mixing together into one team is basically fantasy football. Look forward to seeing Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane linking up.

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        It's just a ridiculous time to have it. Domestic teams are just about finding their feet and we're getting some entertaining football then all of a sudden there's a 2 week break. So unnecessary imo, we get plenty of international football as it is without this Nations League rubbish

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          Actually its a Euro qualifier isn't it... but the sentiment remains 😆

    5. Cheeky Reijnders
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years

      WC regret? 🙂

  18. waldo666
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Martinelli to...

    A) Maddison
    B) Sterling
    C) Mbeumo
    D) Save FT

    G2G?

    Onana
    Gusto Estu Henry
    Bruno Maddison Sterling Saka
    Haaland Jackson Wissa

    Turner Rashford Baldock Kabore

    1. waldo666
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldn't bench Rashy

  20. Erez Avni
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who’s a better asset from a fixtures perspective?

    A Maddison
    B. Mbeumo

    1. Bale11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

  21. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    RMGW4WC

    Flekken, Areola
    Walker, Andersen, Chilwell, Gusto, Udogie
    Saka, Maddison, Bruno, Mbuemo, Sterling
    Wissa, Haaland, Alvarez

    2.8 ITB

    Is Alvarez more at rotation risk, given recent signings?
    Could bin Gusto for Jackson.
    Is Ederson worth it, over Walker? Never really liked Ed as an FPL pick

    1. Hanz0
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think Gusto > Henry and Wissa > Jackson.

      Even if you decide to bench Jackson this GW.

      If he scores 1-2 goals with Bournemouth next you will likely want him but be locked out due to Gusto.

      I also would be tempted by Bowen in place of Bruno if you don't mind booking a transfer next week.

      1. DARE TO BISCAN
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        I am tempted by Jackson (definitely wouldn't bench at home to Forest).

        Possibly switch Gusto to Cash and bench. Already have Flekken, not sure on a double up (would also block future BRE moves).

        I think I'll keep Bruno and bench. Would want to play front 3 this week, so Bowen would be a benching headache - would mean Saka/Mads benched

  22. Wobbles
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Fati to Brighton confirmed.

    1. Wobbles
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      If he performs anyway near his WC form he could be a very good signing. Hope it's true.

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Finally Casemiro will get some help

  23. HighestPeake
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on
    Rashford ---> Maddison
    Gabriel ----> Udogie
    2.9 mil left in the bank after this

    1. HighestPeake
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Or Rashford ----> Foden

  24. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Play 1:

    A. Joao Pedro
    B. tarkowski
    C. Anderson

    1. Bale11
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      c

  25. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Start?

    A Estu (NEW)
    B Baldock (EVE)

    1. TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Estu

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

  26. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Start Baldock or Saliba?

  27. Gooner Kebab
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    What are Salah owners thinking, now an offer has been rejected?

    1. Retro
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      See below. Tempted to stick for this week on the basis that if he plays he's a good asset...

  28. Retro
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is the best thing to roll the FT with this lot so that I have 2FT after transfer chaos and international break?

    Areola
    Gusto, Henry, Chilwell
    Mbuemo, Salah, Rashford, Foden, Saka
    Haaland (c), Jackson

    Turner, Beyer, Baldock, Osula

    1. Saka White Rice
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      yep because what would you do otherwise Rashford to Maddison/Sterling? I'd roll I'm not convinced Rash is a bad option

    2. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Save to have 2FT makes sense

  29. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Would you do Mitoma to Foden/Sterling for a hit?

    1. Bubz
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No
