With Double Gameweek 37 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, team selection, 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.

    Reguillon to Dunk/Livramento/Dalot worth a -4?

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Do you think Bournemouth will score?

  2. elpiratacordobes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Which option is better?
    On BB and just 1ft, 0.6 its.
    Need to get rid of 2 non- playing defenders on Maguire and Schar.

    a) Burn + Romero (already have Porro)
    b) Livra + White (already have Gabriel, and not too sure about playing time for Livra)
    c) Something else?

    Thanks for your replies.

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years

      Can you do Burn and an Everton defender? Wouldn't want to double on Spurs defence. Then that potentially leaves you 2 Arsenal options to bring in for next week

      1. elpiratacordobes
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Sorry, forgot to say it cannot be a City, Chelsea or Everton defender.

  3. waltzingmatildas

    Watkins to
    A) Jackson
    B) Wilson

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      A due to minutes risk for Wilson with 2 games so close

    2. elpiratacordobes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      A for me.

  4. El Presidente
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Do you think it's worth doing Dubravka to Ederson for a hit? I have a feeling Howe going to give Pope the chance to prove fit to go to the Euros...

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I'm on a BB

    2. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I think Dubravka is a risk especially as last home game and Howe might well want to give Pope some minutes. Not sure Ederson is the best Man City option though

  5. Rico123
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Lose Bruno for a hit on BB (would be a second hit as already need to take one to sort defence injuries) or play and hope

    A. Play Bruno
    B. Bruno > Richarlison (-4)
    C. Bruno > Arsenal mid (-4)

    Already maxed on Chelsea, Arsenal, City

    1. agueroooooney
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I'm between A and B, wouldn't get a single gameweeker for a hit

    2. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      For this week alone B is probably the best option but for 38 the Arsenal midfielder will be near on essential

    3. elpiratacordobes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I would not take another hit to remove Bruno.

    4. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Why? He trained so may or should play? I wouldn’t bother

  6. agueroooooney
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    With the latest injury updates, who needs replacing?

    A) Schar
    B) Bruno
    C) Both

    Is Trippier an option?

    1) Yes
    2) No

    1. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      A 1

    2. OneDennisBergkamp
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      A1

    3. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Agree A1 - I'm going Trippier on my FH this week

  7. Tonyawesome69
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Potential/current Richarlison owners...

    Not in the Brazil squad due to calf injury

    https://twitter.com/goleada_info/status/1788955981126230218?t=RSglxHQAFHZEt1S1_qA0zA&s=19

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Oh interesting - Thanks as always Tony

    2. The Red Devil
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Holds fire on Bruno to richarlison

  8. Here is Cash, give McGinn
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Which one is better for bb and next gw?

    A) Joao Pedro-Bruno-Gusto
    B) N. Jackson-Gordon-Romero -8

    Romero can be any defender under 5.1 no chelsea, city or newcastle

    1. ct mariner
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Probably B - as all 3 in A have some risk (although I am hanging onto Gusto as I have other fires to fight on my BB) - JP just flagged

    2. The Point About It Is
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Pedro doubt for this gameweek - ankle

    3. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      B especially as Pedro is now a doubt

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

    Dunk or Cucurella?

    1. Radulfo28773
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Cucu

    2. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Cucurella out of the 2 - what about a single game week player that would be useful in 38.

    3. elpiratacordobes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Cucurella for me

  10. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Garnacho or Gordon?

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

      Gord

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Makes sense

    3. The Point About It Is
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      seriously?

    4. Radulfo28773
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Gordon of course

    5. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Gordon

  11. juicewagz
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Start Garnacho (two home games) or Haavertz (MUN A)?

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

      i always lean for the doubler, but could be close!

    2. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Havertz

  12. Henning
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    On Bb , would you replace Fleeken for a hit.
    Other keeper is Petrovic

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Depends on how many you've got form each team etc. and whether you think Bournemouth will score

      1. Henning
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Petrovic
        Gvardiol Porro Gabriel
        Gordon son Palmer Foden
        Haaland Isak Jackson

        Fleeken Garnacho white Burn

        1. notlob legin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Yes I think I would then

          1. Henning
            • 11 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            Ok. Thanks

  13. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Os Lewis Hall nailed?

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Not now Trippier is back - Livramento or Trippier could easily play left back

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Yeah probably right

  14. TanN
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    GTG?

    Petrovic
    Burn Romero Gvardiol White
    Madueke Palmer Son Foden
    Haaland (C) Isak

    Pickford Saka* Solanke Zabarnyi

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Nice team but I'd still consider playing Saka over Madueke if we get further news he's fit

      1. TanN
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Cheers nigel

  15. Rassi
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    So Richarlison has a calf injury according to Dorival...

    1. Rassi
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Dorival jr. aka the Brazil manager

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Here we go again..

    3. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Unreal news

  16. CelticBhoy1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Chances of Saka starting?

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      75% to 80% I'd say

      1. Evasivo
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        That’s pretty high given the amount of bandaging on his knee. Not saying you’re wrong but …

  17. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Last spot in my team:

    a. Gabriel
    b. Gusto
    OR
    c. Cucurella (sell Gusto for -4)
    d. Burn (sell Gusto for -4)
    e. Livra (sell Gusto for -4)

    ???

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      A

  18. Malinwa
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Who will replace Schar, to have 11 DGW
    1FT - what to do?

    Ederson
    Dalot - Porro - Branthwaite
    Palmer - Son - Foden - Gordon - KDB
    Jackson - Isak

    Raya - Watkins - White - Schär*

  19. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Any of these worth a hit?

    A) Havertz -> Bruno
    B) Richards -> Burn/Trippier/Porro

    Cheers

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      A sounds mad, I have been considering the oposite lol

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Nah. I am even contemplating if a, is worth it for free!

  20. thepirates
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Got some headache here… BB active and 1 FT.

    Duvbraka
    Dunk - Gusto - Gvardiol
    Son - Palmer - Gordon - Havertz - Garnacho
    Haaland - Isak
    Onana - Alvarez - Porro - White

    Inital thoughts was Garnacho/Havertz & Alvarez to Jackson and Foden for -4. Now Duvbraka and Gusto might be bigger issues. Any suggestions appriciated!

    1. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years

      Gusto & Alvarez to ??? & Jackson

  21. Malinwa

  22. Hart-ake
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    ok to bench boost triple Arsenal (Gabriel, white, havertz) and Pickford. Or would you look to upgrade any of them?

    1. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yes. United are awful.
      You will want triple Arsenal next gameweek aswell

  23. Hanz0
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Who scores more?

    A.) Doughty (Whu A) + 4
    B.) Dunk (New A, Che H)

    Is -12 crazy? Worried about minutes for the 3 below

    OUT: Dubravka Gusto Saka
    IN: Raya Burn Richarlison

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Read up - Richarlison is now an injury doubt

  25. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Who would you prefer to own this GW?

    A - KDB
    B - Isak

    1. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      If chasing KDB if not Isak

    Just answered as many posts as I can on this page (might be the previous page now) to the best of my knowledge. What continually puts me off doing this is there have been no thanks form anyone - if you want advice give it to others and always say thanks!!! How long does it take??

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years

      Thanks 🙂

            • 9 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            Nearly the same as me - could be a match!!!

  27. Erez Avni
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Schar, Morris and Gusto (maybe 2 games between them) to Burn, Gvardiol and Jackson (2 games each) for a -8 sounds logical?

    or just Schar and Morris to Gvardiol and Wilson for a -4?

    BB37

    Petrovic
    Gabriel Regulion Doughty
    Foden Palmer Saka Son
    Isak Haaland Morris

    Areola Granacho Gusto schar

  28. Berna1985
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Dalot or Romero? (have already Onana and VVN with BB)

    1. PompeyUpNorth!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Romero for me. He’s due a goal imo

    2. notlob legin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Romero

  29. F4L
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    how important do you think it is to own Salah in 38 (Wolves h)?

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Could be gold.
      But Arsenal, City and Spurs could all be good too. I'd rather have 9 of those.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        cheers. would be at the expense of Arsenal attacker/coming in for KDB.
