The international break is finally over and with the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline closing in ahead of Gameweek 13, five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman is here to help with your FPL dilemmas for the next hour.

Whether it’s questions on transfers, 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.

    Areola
    Saliba Cash Lascelles (Baldock, Al-Dakhil)
    Salah Saka Martinelli Bowen Adingra
    Harland Watkins (Archer)

    Gw14 plan: Adingra > Mbeumo

    This week:
    A) Cash>Ajer
    B) Cash>Ward
    C) Cash to other 4.5 def (please specify who)

    Must bring a 4.5 def in before tonight as cash will drop and I need mbeumo next week.

      B

      Or, a punt on Toffolo?

      Id probably start Baldock for Lascelles also

        Thanks! Also forgot to say I will use wc1 in gw19 so I am rlly tempted by Brentford for lut and shu as blank doesn't matter for me. Does this change anything? 🙂

        1. Stimps
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 12 days ago

          Ajer sounds good then

  2. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    On WC.. Pretty much set on most spots except for 3

    Areola _______
    Gabriel Tsimikas Mitchell Baldock Porro
    Salah Son Saka Palmer ________
    Haaland Alvarez Darwin

    A) 3.9 GK + Mbeumo

    B) Sanchez + Eze

    Which one would you prefer? Leaning towards B since I have palmer on the bench to cover ezes tougher fixtures (plus he had a better fixture this week and a game in 18)

    1. Bobkat
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      A

    2. Westfield Irons ⭐️
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Depends on your plan for GW18, if you go A you will have 3 players blanking and 5 players in one match (LIV v ARS). Unless you Free Hit in GW18 you could struggle with a dodgy bench as well

      1. Valar(Keith)
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 12 days ago

        Cheers. Sanchez and Eze it is 🙂 .. bit wary going one keeper on WC anyway

  3. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    If we get news that Alvarez is benched- would you remove for a -4?
    Solanke probably the option here..

    Areola.
    Beyer, Trippier, Cash.
    Salah, Luiz, Mbuemo, Son, Martinelli.
    Haaland, Alvarez.
    Flekken, Archer, Tsimikas, Kabore.
    0ft, 0.2m

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      I wouldn't for a -4. Archer can come on

      1. Sgt. Schultz
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 12 days ago

        non-owner but really wish Marti gives u a big Juicy Green Arrow this gw

  4. NJ MetroStars
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    0.7 itb, 2 fts.

    1 - going mitoma to mbeumo but what else would you do (if anything)?
    2 - start taylor or pau? (assuming no additional d transfers)

    THANKS!

    areola
    tripper, gabriel, taylor
    salah, saka, bowen, gordon, mitoma
    haaland, watkins

    • 11 Years

    A lot of people seem very keen to bring in mbuemo against arsenal. Hmm

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Wish I had him. Can see him scoring.

    2. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      More keen for future GWs I'm sure, some pushed a week early due to injuries.

      A striker on pens for a top10 team. Rarely a terrible shout.

    Anyone else having issues scrolling up and down on desktop / laptop, using this site?

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      1. Well you know, Triffic
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 12 days ago

        Na lol. I am using a desktop and mouse and it's messed up.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 12 days ago

          I use a desktop and mouse during the day (while at work) and have the same issues on that, which is why I assumed it was just me

    2. Prinzhorn
      • 4 Years

    E other

    Don't want to touch the rest of the team

    Salah Son Saka Martinelli Mbeumo
    Haaland Alvarez Archer

    1. ritzyd
      • 7 Years

      I dislike all those moves

  10. tim
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Start Cash or Tsimi?

    Areola
    Guehi Lascalles X
    Son Saka Diaby Salah

    Cheers!

    1. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      I'll go Cash

  11. Prinzhorn
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Play safe and get Saliba (zzZzz-pick)
    or
    Take a educated guess and get Ait-Nouri

    1. ritzyd
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      James

      1. Prinzhorn
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 12 days ago

        Never again

  12. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Would you do Saka, Alvarez to Haaland, Palmer with 2 FT's? Not ideal but the best way to get Haaland back

    1. Prinzhorn
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Not this week

  13. davewg59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Is Zinchenko a starter for Arsenal?

    1. I Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Rotation risk.

  14. Slurpy
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Start Nketiah or Archer?

    1. Cheese Crunch
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Nketiah minutes not secured, seems Jesus is back

  15. gomez123
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Start A) Palmer or B) Adingra

    1. Cheese Crunch
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Palmer, the pens alone make this is a no brainer imo

      1. gomez123
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 12 days ago

        Thanks

  16. Manani
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Bowen to Saka?
    My only bench is Beyer

    1. Cheese Crunch
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      don't love it this week

  17. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    So based on the presser, the news about Bowen having water on the knee seems a load of polony.

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Presser wasnt very clear was it? Just that he hopes he'll be available.

  18. Cheese Crunch
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Chris Wood worth a cheeky punt?

    he'd be 3rd Fwd, rotating between Haaland and DCL

    1. The Road to Turfdom
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      I really fancy him for a few weeks. Unsure re DCL though

  19. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Think I will save transfer this week and hope for the best but not feeling confident at all. Captain haaland or Bowen ? Cheers

    1. Cheese Crunch
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      (C) Haaland 10/10.

      1. Ajax Hamsterdam
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 12 days ago

        Cheers

  20. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Which looks better?
    A) Cash, Mitoma to Saliba, Eze
    B) Cash, Mitoma to Guehi, Mbeumo
    C) D.Luiz, Mitoma to Coufal, Mbeumo

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      For this week A but longer term I'd want Saliba or another Ars Def plus Mbeumo.

  21. Sebbo29
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Yo folks what to do here would appreciate some advice.

    Shall I just roll it out or bring in some DEF for Kabore or Gusto to get some cover in case Cash is out?

    Areola (Pick)
    Trips / Gab / Cash (Kabore/Gusto)
    Salah / Saka / Palmer / Eze / Bowen
    Watkins / Haaland (C) (Archer)

    Bench Archer?

    1 FT, 0.3 ITB

    Thanks guys!

  22. Lukakus talking
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Not sure what to do here, seems early to get rid of Diaby against Spurs' high line, and Bowen could be fit, but don't want to burn a transfer. 2FT, 1.1ITB

    Areola (Turner)

    Trippier - Guehi - Cash (Branthwaite, Taylor)

    Salah - Son - Bowen - Diaby - Palmer

    Haaland - Alvarez (Archer)

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Cheese Crunch
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      GK upgrade? Turner to Sanchez or Johnstone

      1. Lukakus talking
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 12 days ago

        Thanks v much. Have Guehi so Sanchez might be a good shout.

  23. TochanMama
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Thoughts about Kudus for Mitoma considering Bowen has some knee issues?

    1. Cheese Crunch
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      i like it

    2. TochanMama
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Apparently, Kudus is also expecting a price rise and Mitoma a price drop..

  24. DagheMunegu
    • 5 Years

    Bench 1

    A Tsimikas
    B Cash
    C Branthwaite (have Pickford)

    • 4 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Now.as Estupinan is probably out until January,.is anybody considering Lamptey?

    He is still flagged but already back to training.

    1. Cheese Crunch
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      weary of brighton assets in general.

  26. Evasivo
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    I’m a big fan of Ansu Fati (in real life) but as an FPL asset …a gamble, but I play the game for fun so why not!

    Has anyone else had him of their watchlist?

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Yea keeping an eye since he arrived at Brighton but just don't trust his minutes yet.

  27. Jon Snow

    1FT 2.5 itb
    Turner, Flekken
    Cash*, Guehi, Burn*, Tsimikas, Baldock
    Saka, Son, Bowen, Gordon, Eze
    Haaland*, Alvarez, Watkins

    C) Other

  28. Why do I do this?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Having a disaster lads - got a new phone and now my Authenticator codes (from activating that 2fa nonsense) are coming up as “incorrect codes” when I try to log in. And obviously I can’t login without it to turn it off so all a bit of a mess!

    Anyone had the same?

    What’s the best email address to contact to get it sorted?

    1. Why do I do this?
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Little pop as bottomed before.

      Anyone any ideas?

        I don’t use the code thing though, just face recognition so it’s probably no help. Maybe using a different device might help.

  29. TochanMama
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 12 days ago

    Cash vs Tottenham
    Tsimikas vs City
    Tarkowski vs United

    Which one do I start?

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      tark

    2. Lukakus talking
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Cash. Should get some joy against Spurs' high line

    3. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Cash

    Best Transfer Decisions with 1.4 ITB and 1 FT?
    a) Save
    b) Cash to Saliba
    c) Morris to Solanke

    Leno
    Trippier Gabriel Udogie
    Son Saka Bowen Mbuemo Gibbs-white
    Haaland(c) Alvarez

    Trafford Morris Cash Tsimikas

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 12 days ago

      Morris to Solanke then start over Gibbs White
