With Gameweek 23 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 transfers, captaincy, team selection 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.

      If you've got him, you must think he is starting so surely you captain him?

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

        Why? What if I want to own him because I think he gets 60-70 mins but don't want to captain him because I think he gets 60-70 mins?

    Neto (Raya)
    Trent Estupinan Porro (Walker Van Hecke)

    2. sulldaddy
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Im debating Neto vs Raya myself.
      What makes you go to Neto?
      Better matchup, but worse defenders.
      Im back and forth TBH

  6. Alan The Llama

    South Korea awarded penalty in stoppage time

    1. Alan The Llama

      2 years, 4 months ago

      Hwang goal, Son assist

  7. Ian Davis
    • 16 Years

    Current team:

    Areola
    TAA/Gabriel/Estupiñan
    Palmer/Foden/Gordon/Saka
    Alvarez/Watkins/Solanke

    Leno/D Luiz/Branthwaite/Livramento

    A) Watkins > Haaland

    B) Livramento > Trippier / Walker

  8. lilmessipran

    Sonnnnn earns a penalty..come on

    1. Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Huge pen won by Son and Hwang Hee Chan converts it, they’ve done it again in the last minute

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

        As Oppa Gangnam style plays in the background

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

      And yes He Can. 1-1 game on

  9. TKC07
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Who would you bench from below mids:
    A) Gross (CRY H)
    B) Bowen (mun a)
    C) Saka (LIV H)

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B

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

      Never bench Bowen.
      A) Gross

  10. Erez Avni
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Areola
    TAA, Poro, Trippier, Estu
    Foden, Richarlison, Saka, Palmer
    Watkins, Solanke

    Turner Gabriel Son Archer

    A. Son & Solanke to Gordon & Haaland
    B. Son & Archer & Gabriel to Haaland & 4.2 mid & 4.5 deff for a hit (343)

    in the end its Gordon or Solanke minus 4 points…

    Cheers

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Feel like I may have seen this already, but I don't see a world that B makes sense

  11. wakenbagel
    • 4 Years

    90+'til South Korea equalise

  12. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Oh my god eff off South Korea FFS! Equalising in the last minute of injury time again. Just unbelievable. Still holding Son.

    Beautiful scenes for us Son sellers.

  15. Gudjohnsen

    Will Cash start?

    Other defenders Gabriel, Saliba, Trippier and Porro

  16. AARON-1

    Pedro and Gross --> Haaland and Gordon 2 FT

    Happy to captain Gordon with his almost unblemished home record of goals and assists.
    Happy to own Haaland and still have 5million in the bank. Reservations about captaining him, though.
    May switch Garnacho and Darwin last minute if I think the record breaking woodwork hitter might play. Don't want a 1point cameo, however.

    Areola
    Walker - Porro - Estupinan
    Saka - Foden - Palmer - Garnacho - Gordon (c)
    Haaland - Watkins

    Turner Darwin - Gabriel - Doughty

  17. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Best midfielder under 7.3 that isn't Palmer or Gordon?

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

      Richarlison maybe

    2. AARON-1
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Don't overlook Neto

  18. Tommo1212
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Differential Picks .......

    Rodri (returns in last 3) or D.Luiz (set pieces) ???

    Martinelli or Diaz ???

    Cheers

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Martinelli

  19. fish66
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Who to bench



    (a) Saka
    (b) Richarlison

    Playing KDB, Foden, Palmer, Haaland, Watkins, Solanke

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B

    2. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Playing 4 defenders?

    3. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Tough. Everton actually often pretty solid, but I think B just wins it for me

    4. Gudjohnsen
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Sorry I would bench Saka

    5. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      B

    6. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Foden for me. Almost same team.
      Bc Saka, Richarlison nailed.

      Foden,KDB,Haaland ...Who knows who starts

    7. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      a)

  20. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Which option makes more sense?

    A) Bowen > KDB this week and then Alvarez > Haaland next week

    B) Alvarez > Haaland this week, get KDB next week

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Wish I knew! I think A marginally

      1. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers!

  21. Unconstitutional
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Play Saka or Bowen?

    1. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Saka. On pen and better team

  22. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    2FT, 15.6 ITB:

    Areola - Dubravka
    Pedro Porro - Walker - Gabriel - Konsa - Kilman
    Saka - Foden - Gross - Gordon - Palmer
    Watkins - Alvarez - Archer

    Alvarez to Haaland??

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Thinking that move

  23. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Thinking Alvarez >> Haaland(C) with my first FT. Worth a defensive change with my second? Best option if so? Or I could do Salah >> KDB/Jota.

    Dubs

    Estup Gabriel Guehi
    
Foden Saka Palmer Gordon

    Solanke Watkins Alvarez
    (Areola, Salah**, Livra, Taylor)

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Might as well keep Salah if u kept that long

      Save ft

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Alvarez >> Haaland though?

        I’ve no idea what the Salah timeframe is.

        1. FF Dirtbag
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Hold Salah.

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I think yes on first FT. Second I would probably roll, at least you can comfortably bench Salah and having the 2FT next week could be useful with another week having passed

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Thanks mate. Yeah, seems a bit boring but perhaps sensible. Cheers

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Do both Alvarez to Haaland and Salah to KDB

  24. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Which one goes to the bench?

    A) Trippier (LUT)
    B) TAA (ars)
    X) Porro (eve)
    Y) Estu (CRY)

    1. Free Hat
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Porro

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

      Dang.. I would say Estu. Second would be Tripp.

  25. Free Hat
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    No idea who to cpt this gw...

    Palmer, Gordon?

  26. chelseachris88
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    What would you do? Wondering if I need Gordon or Toney.

    Dubravka
    Senesi - Estupinan - Pedro Porro
    Palmer - Foden - Jota - KDB
    Haaland - Watkins - Salanke

    Areola - Bowen - Zinchenko - Gabriel

  27. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Team atm...teying to work Mo or Haaland back in

    Raya (Sanchez*)
    Estupinan Trippier Porro
    Saka (c) Bernardo Bowen Palmer KDB
    Watkins Solanke
    BENCH Saliba Konsa Semenyo

    1FT over 6m ITB

    A Roll FT
    B Semenyo to Toney
    C Bowen to Gorden

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      I wouldn't worry about Mo, even if the double comes (which it looks increasingly unlikely) he then blanks and has a cup final - returning from injury he isn't going to be risked in the league around the final so I think it'll be 27 onwards you want him. I'd probably roll. Dunno who you would bench with B and probably scuppers the Haaland return. C maybe.

      Interesting captain choice...

      1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Go big....

  28. C0YS
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Have a bit of a benching headache this week:

    KDB Richarlison Foden Palmer Gordon
    Haaland Watkins Solanke

    Currently have Gordon sitting on the bench. Whom would you bench from this lot?

  29. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Nunez involved in training

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Pinging it off the woodwork, chipping over open goals, frantically beating 3 men before sending a cross into outer space?
      That kind of involved?

      1. theplayer
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Crossbar challenge

  30. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 4 months ago

    Thoughts on Liverpool double? What's the general consensus?
