With Gameweek 35 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) on the way, 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 ‘doublers’, Wildcard picks, captaincy 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.

    On wildcard now..BB37…
    A. Ederson + Van de Ven or
    B. Onana + Gvardiol

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      can you afford walker?

  2. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Salah to Fernandes for -4 or give him one more chance?

    1. linkafu
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      As a Salah fan, I ll keep it till the end as I don't know if he will still be here next season. Let's trust the FPL KING and enjoy maybe his last FPL points!

    2. Don Fabio's gut feelin…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I'm giving him another chance, don't imagine he'll want to go out on a whimper and hoping Liverpool might react a bit now the pressures off. I don't much like fixtures for Fernandez after this week either.

    3. Feanor
      • 16 Years

      Does Salah even start?

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Nope

  3. linkafu
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Something worth a -4 in this team?

    Dubravka
    Gabriel Dalot Tarkowski
    Palmer Gordon Saka Salah
    Haaland Solanke Isak

    Kelleher Sarabia Smith Gusto

  4. Bruno Commando
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    On WC and considering the below 2 options - no Salah vs Salah. Will be keeping an eye on BB37.

    1) Salah, Dubravka, Ederson, VanHecke, VDV, Branthwaite, Maguire
    2) Bruno, Vicario, Petrovic, Romero, Dalot, Walker, Schar

    Rest of the team:
    _____ _____
    Gabriel _____ ______ _____ _____
    Son Palmer Gordon Foden _____
    Haaland Isak Hojlund

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    2. Sailboats

      1 year, 10 months ago

      2

  5. FootballRookie
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Which transfer would you prioritise?

    A) Gusto to Porro
    B) Darwin to Watkins

    Also.... Would you replace any of this midfield to bring in Odegaard?
    1) Garnacho
    2) Foden
    3) Son
    4) Bruno
    5) Palmer

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B TBH

      1 if you think a hit is worth it? No probably

  6. KeanosMagic
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Anyone think Haaland will actually play?

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      may come on but i doubt it

    2. linkafu
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Think he will

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Quite possibly.

    4. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      City eliminated from the CL by the Kings of Spain so there is a 64% chance he does start vs NFO imo

    5. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Off the bench.
      Maybe

  7. Jullepuu

    B) Jackson and Maguire

    My season is over so playing for a cup in a mini league.

    Using my free hit this week. What would you say the best team is?

    How many DGW players would you go for?

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      2
      Palmer and Son

    2. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Better SGW matchups to be honest.
      Dont fall for the trap

  9. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Gvardiol or Walker on a WC?

    Gvardiol stats seem a bit better attacking wise, but if Walker is deployed like he was the other night?

    Thanks

    1. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Walker for me

    2. leeboy104
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Prefer Walker

    3. Eric Banternaaa
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I think yesterday was a one off. Gvardiol allows you spread money elsewhere.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        All £0.4 of it!

        Splurge away!

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

      Walker just feel more nailed, even if he play deeper like before I’d still go for him

    5. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Thanks for the comments.

    Anyone else concerned about selling Salah for a -4?

    Whu defence are terrible

    1. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Yeah. But need funds to get a defender in

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Sold him on WC and not the least bit bothered.

      If he scores then good for him, but I replaced him with Bruno who is in much better form

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Plus if Everton can beat them......

      Gusto will be fit by GW37

  14. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A) Keep Salah (whu)
    B) Sell to Foden (nfo)

    1) Start Haaland (nfo)
    2) Start Muniz (CRY)

    1. Kinder Mbueno
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Tempted by B but unsure
      1

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B

      Probably 1

  15. Kinder Mbueno
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Play Saliba or Gabriel?

    1. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Gabriel

    2. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      G

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Well, wouldn't you play both if you had both of them?

      1. Kinder Mbueno
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        It's either bench one of those or Solanke

    4. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Gabriel

  16. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Salah has been below par in his final pl season. Considering selling for Son this gw. Egyptian flop

    1. Baps Hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      So has Son tbh. But extra matches may help. Salah got 3 pts instead of 1 or 2, for example.

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Already gone from mine.

      Think his time in my FPL team is up now.

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Thinking the same.

  17. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Current team for GW

    Pickford (Neto)
    Ait-Nouri, Gabriel, Branthwaite (Munoz, Reguilon)
    Palmer (C), Havertz, Saka, Son, L Diaz
    Mateta, Isaak (haaland)

    A Stick
    Or for -4 Diaz to
    B Foden
    C Bruno

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B for me

  18. Babec
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Cucurella or Disasi for Gusto?

    1. Rhodes your boat
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Have you got other defenders you can play? Not sure if it’s worth a sideways move despite him likely being out this gw

      1. Babec
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Not really as I would like to have triple Chelsea for both double gws. And all team almost set for gw37

  19. Rhodes your boat
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    A) richarlison
    B) Gordon

    1) watkins
    2) isak
    3) Jackson

    1. The Road to Turfdom
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I’ve gone B3. I slightly believe in coverage though

    2. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      B1

    3. Stig

      B2

  20. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Help…hard to believe CHE or TOT can keep a CS in next DGW…should I change my line up/bench order? Ederson
    Schar White Maguire
    Son Palmer Bruno Foden Gordon
    Haaland Isak
    Bench: Pickford Jackson VDV Gabriel

    1. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Looks decent

  21. tryf88
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Muniz to Mateta for -4? Have Eze and will need to bench Solanke likely

    1. tryf88
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Or Salah to Son

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        This one, although both appear right now to be as bad as the other.

      2. Kinder Mbueno
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Tom suggested this for me but I'm more tempted by Foden tbh

    2. Kinder Mbueno
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Will Mateta be as effective if Eze a doubt?

      1. Baps Hunter
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        Nope

        1. Baps Hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 10 months ago

          Or unlikely

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I have Mateta but fully expecting this hot streak of his to end.

    4. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Solanke has Brighton at home
      Probably should play him

  22. Nespinha
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Who would you pick?

    A) Cucurella or Maguire
    B) Johnson or Gallagher

  23. Malkmus
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Evening all. How is this WC looking ? BB37. Have 2.5 ITB but don't know how to spend it. Could do Son to KDB if he flops again.

    Petro (Onana)
    Porro - Walker - Schar
    Son - Foden - Palmer (c) - Bruno - Gordon
    Isak - Jackson

    Subs - Haaland, Maguire, Gabriel

    Ta!

    1. Stig
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Same team but I’m starting Maguire ahead of Walker this week

  24. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 10 months ago

    Why am i seeing Porro in WC drafts, rarely CS facing Chelsea & Arsenal?

    1. The Road to Turfdom
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Probably the second best attacking defender in the league though

    2. Weasel Boy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      I'm avoiding Spurs defence.
      I'm even unsure about Chelsea defense but have Petrol at mo

    3. Malkmus
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      Nobody really keeping CS, so all about attacking returns

  26. camarozz
    • 11 Years

    Think is the best I can do.

    Petrovic

    Schar/Porro/Walker

    Gordon/Palmer(c)/Bruno/Son/
    Foden

    Izak/Jackson

    (Vicaro/Mcguire/Gabriel)

    Chasing 50 pts but mindful of my rank also (147k) would love to break 100k.

    Schar/Mcguire/Vicario/Gordon/
    Walker/Bruno and Jackson my different players (as it stands ) to rival.

    Thoughts ?

    1. camarozz
      • 11 Years

      Btw he used his wc two wks ago we both have bb

    2. camarozz

    3. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      i think you have enough different players to your rival to perhaps beat him?

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 10 months ago

        That's my hope so I'm going for it I guess with those??

        1. camarozz
          • 11 Years

          He will prob get Jackson and Bruno tho surely one of them

    Rate this FH team:

    Petrovic
    Walker Dallot Schar
    KDB Foden Palmer (C) Son Gordon
    Isak Cunha

    Onana DEF DEF ST

    What changes would you make?

    1. ritzyd
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 10 months ago

      FH? I'd have 3x Chelsea and Spurs on FH, I'd also have Bruno too. Wouldn't have triple Man City.

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

    Which 1 to bench among these

    Foden Gordon Palmer Bruno Son
    Werner Isak Jackson

    1. ritzyd

      Werner easily

  29. OptimusBlack

    A- Play Both
    B- Bench Gabriel
    C- Bench White
