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.

    Who has the weaker defence, LUT or SHU?
    And who do you think is harder to break down with a low block?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      LUT

    2. Waltomade

  2. Frenchie_88

    Who do you bench?

    One of: Tsimikas, Trippier, Porro, Cash

    One of: Mitoma, Son, Gordan, Diaby, Martinelli

    1. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Tsimi, Gordon, but not easy choices

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      T and M for me

  3. Nespinha
    • 10 Years

    Which is the better option?

    Diaz or Darwin?

    1. antis0cial
      • 9 Years

      Darwin but still risky minutes wise

    2. DRIZ ✅

      Need Arsenal cover for SHU

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

        Suggestions? Feels wrong to take -4 for defence, and can't see any other way to their attackers than transfering out Son/Maddison.

        1. Warby84
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Lose Maddison

  6. I Member

    WC good to go? 0.0 left back.

    Areola
    Cash, Gabriel, Tsimikas
    Salah, Son, Saka, Bowen, Palmer
    Haaland, Watkins

    Strakosha; Archer, Taylor, Guehi.

    1. D.Glynn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'm unsure if I need to WC but that would be my exact team. Looks good to me

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      0.0 for a left back is dirt cheap

      yeah, looks great

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Haha cheers.

    3. SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years

      Excellent. On wc and have the exact team except coufal guehi.

  7. D.Glynn

    Stuck what to do with 1 ft, 0.3 itb.
    Current team
    Turner Pickford
    Cash Tsimikas Udogie Kabore Guéhi
    Salah Son Diaby Bowen Bruno
    Haaland Alveraz Mubama
    A. Bruno to Saka

    Or C. Wildcard to this
    Turner Areola
    Cash Taylor Gabriel Tsimikas Udogie
    Salah Son Saka Bowen Palmer
    Haaland Watkins Archer

    1. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Does downgrading Bruno to fodder and doing Mubama to Watkins work?

  8. Fernandito

    Flekken Areola

    still cant decide

      Need Arsenal cover for SHU

  9. C_G
    • 10 Years

    is Haaland a differential (C) this week? I was set on Digne haha

    1. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah i'd say so going by comments and cpt poll

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

      Digne?? :0

      Haaland is far from differential but yes i doubt he will be the most captained this week. Maguire and Onana though... I know they did well mid week but still them 2 vs Haaland should produce goals

  10. _Greg
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    I'm joining you none-Haaland owners by benching him this week.

    Get up, come on get down with the Haaland!

    I can see inside you, the sickness is rising
    Don't try to deny what you feel!

    I'm not sure why I have Disturbed - Down With The Sickness playing in my head here...ah well...

    Want to get a strong midfielder in & akanji out, saka, Douglas luis or Maddison. Happy to take a -4/-8

    Thoughts?

  13. TanN
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Benching headaches this week I really can't decide

    Bench 1:
    a) Saliba
    b) Burn
    c) Cash

    Trippier is a definite starter, Udogie flagged so taking a spot on my bench

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      i think this almost easyer decision than captaining salah

      1. TanN
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        ? Would you bench Burn then

        1. JIMMY TUGGINS
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          i think burn yes

    2. Babit1967

      B

    3. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years

      A or B

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

      Burn has been benched thanks all!!

    Any thoughts on the WC draft?

    0.6m itb

    Areola
    Cash*-Gabriel-Tsimi
    Salah-Son-Saka-Mitoma*
    Haaland-Watkins-Alvarez

    Strakosha----Lascelles-Taylor-4.3

    One thing I'm considering is downgrading Cash to Pau and then upgrading Mitoma to a Bowen or Martinelli

    1. Tanaka'd
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I'd keep Cash and Mitoma personally

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed

  16. hogree
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    A. Foden + Morris --> Saka + Archer (-4)
    B. Foden --> Martinelli
    C. Foden + Porro --> Saka + Lascelles / Maguire (-4)

  19. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Need to use a transfer;

    A) Maddison > Martinelli (already own Son)
    B) Porro > Gabriel

    1. Babit1967
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I contemplated A but Maddison is on fire & quite capable of outscoring Martinelli so maybe B if u had to do one

    2. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

      B

        1. DRIZ ✅
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Yes clean sheet poss for Gab along with bonus/goal/assist possibilities.

  23. The Happy One
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Rate my (hopefully final) WC10 draft. Low team value means weak AF bench. Planned transfer Cash > Estupinan if he comes back in the next couple weeks. 😀

    Areola
    Cash - Trippier - Tsimikas
    Salah (C) - Saka - Mitoma - Gordon - Bowen
    Haaland - Watkins

    correct bench order? Palmer over Mbeumo? I think Guehi plays 90 minutes and Gusto is an iffy starter.

    Sanchez
    Saliba Gabriel Porro
    Salah Son Diaby Palmer
    Haaland Alvarez Watkins
    Bench Turner, Mbeumo Guehi Gusto

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

      I'll still place Gusto ahead of Guehi. Guehi's more likely to get negative points due to his opponents. Might even take Gusto's 1 point - if he's subbed in for James late in the game - over Guehi's 0 or -1

      I trust Chelsea's attack more than Brentford's right now, yes

      Great team. Good luck

  25. Goro Majima
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    If we get word Udogie starts...Burn + Maddison to Lascelles + Saka? Means I can keep Son. Thanks.

    1. Simon69
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Holding Son sounds like a good plan.

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

      Lascelles might only start 2 more games, while there's absolutely nothing wrong with Maddison as an asset this season

      Will you be able to perma-bench Lascelles from GW11? if so, then yeah

      If not, Burn to Gabriel/Tsimikas/Hammers/Guehi (okay, Guehi's better done next GW) due to fixtures, then use your next 3 FTs to work in Maddison to Saka for GW12 and skip Saka's game vs Newcastle

      1. Goro Majima
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks, I might need Lascelles to get at least GW 12 as a starter. Perhaps too risky.

  27. Simon69
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Bruno + Maddison > Saka + Mitoma with 2fts, or just prioritise Saka for this GW?

    Areola

    Trippier - Porro - Cash - Zinchenko

    Salah - Son - Maddison - Diaby

    Watkins - Darwin

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

    1. JIMMY TUGGINS
      • 7 Years

      salah is best
