Whether it’s questions on transfers, team selection, chip strategy 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 should I sell for Son please?

    Plan is to not FH.

    A) Gordon
    B) Richarlison*

    Annoyingly 0.1 short of Hwang to Son.

    From a Konsa, Solanke, Hwang, Porro and Richarlison owner! Thanks!

    1. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Apparently Richarlison is out for 3-4 weeks which includes the blank so I'd ditch him

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Sell the injured one

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B

    4. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      What an odd question

  2. agueroooooney
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    A) Senesi
    B) Doughty

    Not using FH29

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I did B

      1. Belli2007
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Tricky... think A has better fixtures but both DGW in 28 and B plays in 29......A is also on 8 yellows so if he gets one this weekend then worried about missing 2nd match in 28

    3. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Might play Taylor and reassess next week

  3. Ha.
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    1. Dalot > Senesi (bench Dawson, play Isak)

    2. Jota > Son (Salah placeholder, play Dawson, bench Isak)

    1. The Iceman
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      2

      1. Belli2007
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        definitely 2

        1. Ha.
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          thanks

  4. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Is senesi still the best bmouth defender even with a looming suspension? Is there anyone else worth getting from their defense?

    1. Ha.
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I remember when Costa had a looming suspension

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

        Haha.. i kept him through that entire period

      2. ViperStripes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        "Looming suspension"... Sniggers at the back

      3. theplayer
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Great memories. I had him for all his hauls while many people were't getting him due to 1 yellow away from a suspension which never came.

  5. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Start 2 of these please

    A. Cash
    B. Lamptey
    C. Estupinian
    D. Doughty

    Currently on A and B, Cheers and good luck

    1. The Iceman

      AD

  6. Ballito

    Paul Tierney in charge of Forest vs Liverpool tomorrow! Guaranteed Forest win!

  7. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do here? Just used my ft on son. Plan to deadend into bgw29. V weak Defence and no cover.

    Dubravka (areola)
    Gabriel reguilon taylor (estu porro)
    Son saka foden gordon (richarlison)
    Haaland watkins solanke

    A.....estu to doughty - 4 . (Bench taylor)

    B....richarlison to bowen - 4 (bench solanke)

    C....both for - 8. Sets ne up v nicely for bgw29. Bench solanke

    D....no hit

  8. JabbaWookiee
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Sweating on Solanke! Which of the following to do...

    A) Take a -4 and go Hwang to Douglas Luiz / Ross Barkley (makes it easier to get Salah back)
    B) Take a -4 and go Hwang to Son (more difficult to get Salah back)
    C) Risk Solanke not starting but avoid the hit (although bench is only Charlie Taylor and Estupinan!)

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

      Sir. Please do not sweat on the Solanke.

  9. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Seems like it's a Son love in here, but I like the look of Bowen and can get Son next week.

    1. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I have both

      :-]

    2. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Son's fixture next week is bad

  10. Mizzzza
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Hwang and Trent to Son and Senesi (bench back up for Solanke), no other bench.
    -4

    Or Play Neto?

    So, basically -4 for Son over Neto and someone on the bench.

  11. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Diaz or Bowen? Thinking Diaz. Bowen had 6 blanks in a row prior to his hat-trick!

    1. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      (FH29)

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Guess when I sold him

  12. boc610

    "little chris horner sat in the corner s exting his career away"

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

      Something about a pageboy cap?

  13. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Dubravka (Areola)
    Trippier Gabriel Doughty (Branthwaite Estupinan)
    Kdb Foden Palmer Saka (Garnacho)
    Haaland(c) Toney Solanke

    1 FT, 2.5 in the bank

    Gonna be doing all of the following transfers over the next few weeks. Which one do I prioritise for this week?

    A) Estu to Senesi
    B) Dubravka to Neto
    C) Kdb to Son
    D) Trippier to Saliba/White

    (All of the above frees up cash for Foden to Salah in GW 30/31 so will mostly be doing all of them)

  14. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Hmm. My app just updated Pau to fit to play & Udogie to 75%. Interesting. Might hold off on Estupi > Doughty (-4),this week.

  15. Definitely not sleeping
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Considering Solankes MRI results, bench one:

    A - Solanke
    B - Palmer
    C - D Luiz

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

      C

  16. Sharkytect
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Is kiwior too much of a risk?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yes Zinchenko is back

    2. ididnt
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Hwang >
      A. Son
      B. Bowen
      C. D. Luiz

  17. Sprinterdude
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Right starting 11?

    Areola
    Gabriel Saliba Bradley
    Son Luiz Foden Saka
    Watkins Haaland Solanke

    Bench - Dubravka, Richarlison, Moreno, Doughty

  18. melvinmbabazi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Play Garnacho or Colwill?

  19. Forcella Boys
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Is Son a must get ? I have Jota & Richarlison but was looking at either ;

    A. Son & Luiz or
    B. Bowen & Kulusevski

  20. WVA
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    People keep suggesting benching Palmer, am I missing something?

    1. Mother Farke
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Madness. Brentford look a ahambles.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I think people literally just look at player prices and think that represents the truth

      2. Belli2007
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Depends who else you have starting ahead of him.....

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

      I wouldn't

    3. Scalper
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      With so many injuries, who are you playing instead??

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        KDB Saka Foden Bowen
        Haaland Watkins Solanke

  21. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    How’s she looking?

    Neto
    Gabriel Branthwaite Pau
    Saka Ødegaard Neto Son
    Solanke* Haaland(c) Watkins

    Sa AitNouri Garnacho Maguire*

    No hits and loads ITB

    1. WVA
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      What was your move? No KDB Foden or Pool attack?

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Sold salah for Son.

        Can’t have it all

  22. Cluckfuster
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I have a rule of never taking a point if I can field a starting XI.

    However, I now have Richarlison (out), Zinchenko and Gvardiol (50/50) and Darwin (75% chance of playing).

    Is now the time to take the hit or will any of those maybes play?

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

      Depends who you're getting and what your plans are

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I think Darwin and Zinchenko will get some minutes

  23. The Train Driver
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Could've afforded KDB, got Barkley instead. Am I crazy?

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

      I think I'm doing Haaland > Morris in GW28. I may have been drinking from the same water source

  24. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Estu to a Bournemouth defender or save ? Cheers.

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

      For free? Yeah

  25. haywooddiablo
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Want Son in my team for Hwang. Need to free up 1.2 mil. Need to do Trippier for Saliba/Senesi or Walker for Branthwaite or Taylor (needs to be a 4.2 defender or cheaper).

    Thoughts?

    1. kellamergh
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Senesi is on 8 yellow cards.
      Go for the other Bournemouth defender. Zabarnyi.

  26. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I need to bench one...

    a) Palmer
    b) Solanke

    1. kellamergh
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      B

  27. kellamergh
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Anything worth a hit?
    I think I'll be FH in GW29. I can only get to 8 players without a hit.

    Leno
    Gabriel Doughty Branthwaite
    Saka Foden Odegaard Palmer Son
    Haaland Watkins

    Turner Solanke Porro Taylor

    1.5m itb

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

      GW29 - 8 players, no hit is alright I reckon

      1. kellamergh
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Would you stick to 8 players or take a hit or 2?

        You've got me thinking now.

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

          Depends on the players. You'd want Toney v Burnley, for example. I'm planning on a hit for 2 Luton players in GW28 - my thinking is the double makes up for it a bit. Probably a hit GW29 for Son & Toney. That would make 9 for me.

  28. Make United Great Again
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    47 point gap to claw back. In my experience it’s doable, but I need to start finding consistency in my ML.

    Anyone else chasing in their ML?

    1. kellamergh
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Me. I'm 23pts from top.

      1. Mainoo Magic
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yep 44 off top

        1. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Achievable

      2. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Right in the hunt.

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

      47 is doable with doubles, blanks and chips to play. Have a small lead in my work league. Other leagues (multi top 1k, etc), I'm not too fussed about. I'll just do my best, without stressing too much

      1. Make United Great Again
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yep still a lot to play for. ML leagues is all I care about tbf.

        Hope you smash that work league!

    Looks like FH in GW29 it will have to be...I only have 3 currently playing that week 😀

    1. Make United Great Again
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Same here

      1. tiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I was trying to see if there was any way round it, but nothing that wouldn't end up much worse overall in terms of points and how much wreckage I would have to do to the team.

      2. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Snap.

        Maybe I'm too old skool but I really don't see the issue in using FH in the week it was designed for.

        I guess it's dgw fever for most.

        1. tiger
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Particularly this time as some of those players in GW29 are not ones you want around that GW...so it does make sense, depending on what your team looks like of course.

        2. Make United Great Again
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 1 month ago

          With you on that. I have 3 players playing. I will FT for a full squad and capitalise.

          Then plan for the DGW (which we’ll have weeks to prepare for)

    2. BOATIES FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 1 month ago

      One more than me!

  30. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Dubravka (Turner)
    Senesi Gabriel Pau* Taylor (Porro*)
    Saka Foden KDB Palmer (Hwang*)
    Watkins Haaland (Archer*)

    4 players currently flagged, already used FT. 2.6 ITB so not enough for Hwang > Son. 1.8m OR so chasing! Help!
    A) Hwang > Diaz / Bailey / DLuiz / Havertz? (WHO?!) -4
    B) Porro + Hwang > Bradley + Son for -8
    C) Archer > Muniz -4 (a random punt)
    D) Wildcard this week
    E) Do nothing more
