With the international break behind us and Gameweek 30 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, 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.

    Best defender to pick from these two games?

    1. BRE v MUN
    2. AVL v WOL

    I see Paul O'Keefe has again gotten something wrong about Spurs injury news. Was already wary of him after the last few things he got wrong but just ignoring him now

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      ???

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        He said Richarlison was a concern with a knee injury going forward but he's fine

        1. g40steve
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          Ahh Salah, Palmer or Son Cap now ?

          1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            I'm sticking with Salah but all good options

  4. jack88
    • 4 Years

    Son/saka/solanke who would you sell tp get salah (-4)

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      If you are not using FH in 34 then it would have to be Son

  5. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    For those doing FH34 I think having Darwin in your team is a bad idea.
    1) He will not start the next 3 games and one of them is Man U.
    2) His underline data will ALWAYS be good but good luck getting a big haul
    3) Solanke is more reliable and will get more minutes. Front 3 would be Isak Haaland Solanke in my opinion amd then move to Jackson after GW34

  6. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Saka or Foden out for Salah?

    1. Legohair
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Foden

    2. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Saka if you have Son, Foden otherwise

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        How does Son affect the choice?

  7. Legohair
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Rate my WC team?

    Petrovic
    Udogie-Bradley-Gusto
    Salah(c)-Son-Gordon-Palmer
    Haaland-Darwin-Isak

    Onana,Lascelles,Saka,Gabriel

    1. Conners
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Very minor point but I think I prefer Branthwaite to Bradley, otherwise it looks good.

      1. Legohair
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Bradley will go at some point but i think i will not get Everton player,im pretty sure they will not have dgw37?

    2. Conners
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      He's good value though regardless of 37 and has some excellent fixtures coming up.

      I wouldn't base your picks on one dgw.

    3. Pep bites Kun
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Same as my own. I'm still fiddling a bit, but I reckon this is where I'll land.

      There is the much spoken about risk caveat of Bradley & Gusto losing their spots when TAA & Reece are fit, but it's a risk I'm willing to accept. Just need to keep a bit of cash itb.

      G2G from me

      1. Legohair
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Thats problem,i only have 0.1 itb.should o downgrade Gordon to Garnacho maybe to free some funds?

  8. GE
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    1) Foden -> Salah
    2) Watkins and Garnacho -> Salah and Muniz (-4)
    3) Save and do 2) next week for free

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      1 easy

      1. Mambino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        this

  9. BigKeith
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Botman to Ait-nouri for a -4 or play daughty/gabriel and do it next week?

    1. Conners
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Play Gabriel

      I think we're looking at a tight game on Sunday

  10. Manani
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Areola
    Saliba Gabriel Gusto
    Saka Palmer Foden Son
    Haaland Solanke Watkins
    (Turner Kerkez Reguilion Hwang)

    save FT?
    next week Watkins + Son > Darwin + Salah

    1. One for All
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Team looks good I would save

      1. One for All
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Kelleher
        Gusto, Zsbarnyi, Van Dijk
        Son (C), Salah, Palmer, Garnacho
        Haaland, Solanke, Muniz

        Areola, Saka, Alt Nouri, Gabiel

        How does this wildcard look?

        1.8 ITB, BB GW 34

        1. Manani
          • 14 Years
          1 year, 8 months ago

          for me Darwin is a 'must' for the dgw

          1. One for All
            • 7 Years
            1 year, 8 months ago

            Yeah will get him for dgw

  11. Steavn8k
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Is this move worth a -8 to bring in Salah? Thinking long term here.
    Foden, Doug Luiz & Estu -> Salah, Garnacho & Lascelles

  12. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Start one of

    A. Gabriel
    B. Maguire
    C. Doughty

  13. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Start Saka (mci) or Toney (MUN)?
    Man City def injuries made me rethink it

  14. Junks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Help needed!!

    1FT 4.5ITB
    Areola Turner
    Saliba Gusto Doughty AitNouri Taylor
    Saka Garnacho Foden Son Bowen
    Alvarez Solanke Haaland

    Should I WC this lot? Or wait a week? Im edging towards WC this GW??

  15. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Bench Saka or Garnacho?

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Same dilemma for me. I'm probably going to play Garnacho but it is a close one. Saka being on pens is making me hesitate a bit though

    2. boombaba
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Garn

    3. One for All
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Saka

    4. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I’m currently playing Garnacho

  16. adrianh2024

    1 year, 8 months ago

    Attacker Dilemna:

    A) Darwin
    B) Isak

    I was leaning towards B but I need to get Haaland back in my team with my free transfer next week which would mean a -4 to get Darwin in for Sheffield United.

    I cant get Gordon in the team either without sacrificing one of Saka/Son/Foden/Palmer/Salah

  17. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Hi gents, team is:

    Areola
    Gabriel - Branthwaite - Zabarnyi
    Palmer - Saka - Foden - Son
    Watkins - Haaland - Solanke
    _____________________________
    Dubravka: KDB: Saliba: Baldock

    Shall be dead ending into 34 and WC in 35

    Plan is to do KDB > Salah, but would you rather lose a forward or another midfielder to facilitate it?

    A) Watkins > Semenyo/Muniz/Mateta? (352)

    B) Foden > Garnacho/Sarabia (343)

    Suppose losing a mid would enable Darwin in also for the DGW.

    Thoughts much appreciated chaps! 🙂

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I would play KDB ahead of Saka and do the move to Salah next week, especially if you're planning to use a hit if you do those transfers this week.

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Yeah it would be for a -4 buddy, is Saka not expected to play?
        KDB doesn’t sit easy with me, is he expected to play d’ya know?

  18. KUNingas
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    WC30, FH44, BB37

    A) Gabriel
    B) Udogie

    If going with A, plan to Make Gabriel -> Udogie before GW36

    1. tricpic
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      FH44 not gonna get you many points

    2. boombaba
      • 12 Years

  19. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    a) Gabriel
    b) Daughty
    c) Gusto (-4pts)
    d) Bradley (-4pts)
    e) Lascelles (-4pts)

    1. leeboy104

    Dubravka
    Zab Porro Pau
    Son(c) Foden Richa Palmer

  21. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Leno
    Gabriel Zabarnyi Gusto
    Salah (c) Palmer Foden Saka
    Haaland Watkins Solanke

    thoughts on
    Kerkez > C.Richards?

  23. tricpic
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    This weekend only
    Haaland or Darwin

    1. Manani
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      darwin

    2. boombaba
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Dar

  24. boombaba
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Any changes need to this WC
    Onana Petrovic
    Schar Udog Lascelles Gusto Bradley
    Salah Madders Son Palmer Garnacho
    Haaland Darwin Isak

    Then plan would be FH 34
    BB with 15 in GW37

    1. BadaBing
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Double Newcastle defence? Replace Schar

      1. boombaba
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Lascelles is fodder until double game week 37

    2. I Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      No Arsenal is crazy imo.

      1. boombaba
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Madders becomes
        Saka for Luton at home

      2. boombaba
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 8 months ago

        Basically a one week punt Madders for Luton at home and then Saka for Luton at home and Saka stays until DGW37 and he becomes Foden with a double

  25. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Dubrvaka
    Tripper Gabriel Ait- Nouri
    Saka Bowen Foden Son
    Haaland Solanke Watkins
    (Kiminaski Garnacho Reguilion Doughty )
    1FT 0 ITB
    What to do ? Save FT ?

    1. boombaba
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Save and go to the bar

  26. TeddiPonza
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Start Gabriel or Maguire?

    1. boombaba
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      Slab nut

  27. Kabayan
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    A. Foden to Salah © (-4)?
    Or
    B. Keep Foden and Son ©

  28. Dthinger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    Foden + Robertson to Salah + Gusto is worth a hit, right?

    Team would be:

    Leno
    Bradley Gusto Ait-Nouri
    Salah Son Palmer Garnacho Saka
    Haaland Solanke

    Pickford Morris Saliba Estu

  29. Timbomars
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 8 months ago

    What is the general consensus on Bradley being nailed? Is there any chance he loses his place or is being rotated heavily by the time we get to DGW34? Wanna bring him in but only if he has that spot nailed!

    1. Dthinger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 8 months ago

      I don't think I'd bring him in.
