With Gameweek 10 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 Tottenham Hotspur’s change in schedule, captaincy, differentials or anything in between, Scout’s Deputy Editor will tackle whatever’s thrown at him.

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.

    Watkins most transferred in player...Brace yourselves, 2pts incoming.

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

      He was last week too

      1. Merlin the Wraith
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Think both the early ko & most transferred in myths both busted last week

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

    Doing Archer/Maddison -> Watkins/4.4m

    Who's the best fodder mid to get, McAtee who can get the odd assist or Nakamba who play's 90 every week?

    Areola
    Trippier Cash Tsimi
    Salah Son Maddison Bowen Gordon
    Haaland Alvarez

    Turner Udogie Archer Kabore

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

      I'd get McAtee

    2. marcos11
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      McAtee

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      McAtee

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

      Cheers all

  3. RomeluAndJuliet

    Need to get Salah. What is the best way with two FTs?

    A) Diaz, Son -> Salah, Palmer
    B) Diaz, Trippier, Bowen -> Salah, Gabriel, Palmer
    C) Diaz, Maddison. Trippier -> Salah, Gabriel, Gordon
    D) Diaz, Trippier, Alvarez -> Salah, Gabriel, Archer

    1. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Tough, i'd maybe go C

  4. Ibralicious
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I'm counting on Darwin outscoring Watkins & Son outscoring Saka...

    In for a wild weekend.

  5. hbyart95
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    take a -4 on udogie or play with only 2 defenders potentially?

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Udogie should play

    2. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Surely do one of your -4 on non playing def

      1. hbyart95
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        kabore and lamptey, no value in them.

        1. jonnybhoy
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 5 months ago

          I wouldnt for a hit kd take the risk

    3. ImageChange
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I have a similar decision. Going to leave it for now. If I'm online close to deadline and it leaks he's not playing I'll switch to tsimikas or gabriel

  6. Weaselpie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Final decision on WC:

    Mitoma, Gordon and Guehi, or
    Bowen, Adingra and Maguire

    1. mahone24
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      b

    2. RomeluAndJuliet
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A

  7. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    On a WC, which one? :

    A) Saka and Maddison
    B) Martinelli and Son

    1. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      A just but Son seems essential

  8. Domo
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Genuinely torn;

    Trip > Saka

    or

    Porro > Mitoma

    Both free with JWP out and Tsimikas in.

  9. Maarrrr17
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    hi all, deadline is 6:30 am here so its midnight tinkering and need some help.
    Is this worth a -8 ?

    Doku, Mbeumo, Álvarez > Bowen, Palmer, Watkins ?

    Doku was a failed punt.
    WC has been played a few weeks back.
    Current gw10 team would be

    areola
    burn, tsimikas, porro
    Salah (c), Son, Madison, doku, mbeumo
    Haaland, Alvarez

    Thanks for any help, im brain dead.

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

      No. Mbuemo and Alvarez still first class picks. Just switch up Doku.

  10. dansmith1985
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Choose one

    A)Maddison and Lamptey to Bowen and Tsimikas
    B)Maddison and Porro to Saka and Tsimikas

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

      B. But personally I'd hold onto Maddison.

    2. Maarrrr17
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      b

  11. FantasyClub
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is it worth doing JWP ➡️ Mitoma for free if it means benching Alvarez?

    1. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No

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

        Thanks. I should probably do Botman ➡️ Tsimikas or Gabriel eh

    3. FantasyClub
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      My current team

      Areola/Flekken
      Tripp/Cash/Udogie/Estu/Bot
      Salah/Saka/Son/Diaby/JWP
      Watkins/Alvarez/Darwin

      1FT 1.0itb

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

        Might be an argument for JWP to Mitoma and then bench Diaby. Spreads the risk a bit.

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

          Nice point made there actually. LUT at home though is hard to bench. Would you say prioritise moving BOT since Udogie is a doubt?

    4. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      no, am in a similar position, I am rolling and getting Mitoma next week

  12. marcos11
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    On WC:

    a) Neto, Mitoma and Archer
    b) Alvarez, Palmer and McAtee

    Will probably need two to start most week

    1. Dannyb
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      B

  13. Dannyb
    • 8 Years

    Everyone and his dog will captain Salah in my ml this week, so should I cap
    A Son
    B Darwin
    C Diaz
    D Haaland

      Haaland hates Man U. Best choice this GW.

  14. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Bench Ward-Prowse or Romero.. Tough decision

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

      Bench Romero

  15. Ray Kinsella
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hi everyone. Quick question.

    Haaland / Palmer / Adingra
    Or
    Diaby / Son / Wilson

    It’s wildcard time…

  16. Mufc202020
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you keep for one more week?
    A) Almiron (wol)
    B) Richalison (cry)

    Thanks

  17. HAMMERTIME107
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    A - Saka in this team 3-5-2
    B - Saka out for Watkins change to 3-4-3 and maybe improve JWP/Gordon

    Areola
    Cash | Udogie | Trippier
    Salah | Saka | Gordon | Son | JWP
    Haaland | Alvarez

    Turner | Kabore | Archer | Lamptey |

  18. Yozzer
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    I already have Watkins, Salah, Son, Saka, Salah so happy in that respect

    Just trying to decide my last spots. Any thoughts appreciated

    A Trips, Adingra, Alvarez, Chuk
    B Bowen , Gueie , Alvarez, Cash
    C Cash, Gordon , Wilson, Palmer
    D Trips , Mitoma, Gordon , mubama

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

      I think Trippier is essential

      1. Yozzer
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks I have value tied up in him so will probably keep him.

        Tough choice between the two options he is in though

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

      I have all of those guys plus bowen en alvarez (on wc).

      Trippier is good but I got to play the fixtures.

    3. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Always nice to have double Salah

      I think B gets the most points over the next 6 GWs or so, due to fixtures and the defensive rotations it gives you

      Bowen + Cash to Palmer + Trippier around GW15. Guehi to Colwill in GW16

  19. The Legend Squad
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Afternoon, pondering Maddison to Saka for a -4 to target a weak and disrupted Sheffield Utd. Any thoughts? I will do the transfer next week anyway, so it’s a pure bet that Saka will outscore Maddison by 4 points or more.

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

      Same conundrum and think I’m going to hold

    2. Deer-in-headlights
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Because Saka plays Newcastle next week its debatable whether he outscores Maddison these two weeks. I'm probably waiting until GW12.

      1. The Legend Squad
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah, I think that's sensible. My worry is price rises, as have exact funds for the Saka to Maddison move now after the suprise Saka rise last night.

  20. FFLNeanderthal
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Should I be worried with no Salah and if so how best route getting him? 2FT and £1.0m ITB

    Areola
    Porro Cash Trippier
    Son Maddison Diaz Diaby
    Watkins Alvarez Haaland

    Subs: Johnstone, Taylor, Andersen & Neto

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

      Son and Diaz --> Salah and whoever is best with what money you have left

      1. FFLNeanderthal
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        that is what i am thinking - maybe Cole palmer for exact money?

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

          Yeah, I have Palmer

          I'm not playing Palmer though (first on bench for me) so idk

  21. Heavy Cream
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Doku and Palmer or Hee-Chan and Szoboszlai?

    Or a different combo of the four please!

  22. Ray Kinsella
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Hi everyone. Quick question.

    Haaland / Palmer / Adingra
    Or
    Diaby / Son / Wilson

    Thanks

    1. teddy.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

      Are you playing all 3? If you are then B but if you're benching some of them then A

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

    Bench 1 (or bench 2 and play Dan Burn instead):
    1) Gordon (wol)
    2) Palmer (bre)
    3) Mbuemo (che)

  25. C_G

    im playing Lascelles over Udogie, good or bad idea?

    1. Udogie-style
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Play Udogie with Lascelles first bench?

      1. C_G
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        i dont want Udogie getting anything under 60 mins

      2. I Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 5 months ago

        This. Would imagine Udogie either starts or misses out completely.

    2. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      Wolves look more threatening than Palace, although Newcastle are a much tighter side defensively than Spurs. Go with your gut

    3. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      I think I'd start Udogie on the assumption he either starts or doesn't play

  26. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Start Porro or Burn!

    RMT for GW10? Any changes that could improve the team?

    Saka Salah Maddison Bowen
    Alvarez Haaland Watkins

    Turner Palmer Lascelles Taylor

  28. Udogie-style
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 5 months ago

    Is Saka essential this week and if so who to sell to free up cash?
    A) Son
    B) Haaland
    C) Maddison and Bowen (could afford Douglas Luiz, Palmer or Gordon as other replacement mid)

    Cheers.

    1. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 5 months ago

      No, I'd say any of those you are looking to sell could match or better him

    3.8mil to 1.5mil after 2 weeks with WC team, worth trying with Watkins (c) or play safe with Salah?
