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.

    Hey Tom,

    1 FT this week:

    A. Bruno > Havertz (play Isak and Jackson)
    B. Gordon > Olise (bench Jackson or Isak)

    Thanks!

      I'd be tempted by B, then bench Isak.

      Close call but Bruno looked great the other night and could easily get something at Brighton.

        Thanks for the response (even despite my own reply fail)!

    I am chasing 22 points… What should I do here… ? My team is:

    Pickford Areola
    Gusto Gabriel Walker Branthwaite 4.0
    Foden Palmer Son Havertz Salah
    Haaland Jackson Isak
    0.6 itb and TC chip

    Rivals team:
    Petrovic Onana
    Gvardiol VDV Porro Dalot Burn
    Foden Palmer Son Gordon Bruno
    Haaland Jackson Isak
    0.0 itb, no chips left

    I’m thinking of Salah TC and pray?

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 26 days ago

      Probably a good shout. Or maybe Palmer?

      • 10 Years

      Yup

  4. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years

    Best punt midfielder this final GW, can't be City, Ars or Chels

      Salah goes mad or subbed off early

    1 FT/2.9 ITB. Very small lead of 6 points in ML.

    My 2 keepers are Ederson and Kelleher

    A) take the 0 points in goal and get gordon out for Olise

    B ) use FT to get a keeper (ie Alison)

    C ) take a -4 to get Olise for Gordon and a keeper

    D ) take a -4 to get Mateta for Watkins and a keeper. (my other FWDs are Isak and N Jackson

    It’s a paid ML with cash prize so really want to keep my lead and win. Thanks in advance

    Who to sign this week? Selling either Gordon or Isak..

    a. Saka
    b. Olise
    c. Mateta
    d. Eze
    e. Wood
    f. Johnson

    ???

    1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 26 days ago

      I like B from those. But maybe A if we know he's fit

      1. No Kane No Gain
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 26 days ago

        Saka is always fit. The guy has been on yellow every gameweek this season and still plays. Gordon the same

        1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 26 days ago

          Yeah fair, I would expect him to play

    2. Malkmus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 26 days ago

      B. Villa will still be drunk

  9. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 26 days ago

    Gordon and KDB with only 1 ft. Who goes?

    A. Gordon
    B. KDB
    C. Both -4

    Probably bringing in Havertz, can't afford Salah. Muniz first sub if someone misses out

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 26 days ago

      Muniz is fine.
      I'd sell Gordon. I think KDB either starts or misses out altogether.

      1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 26 days ago

        Cheers that's what I'm leaning towards too

  10. Your Man With The Hair
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 26 days ago

    Son to Salah for free yay or nay?

    Petrovic
    Porro, White, Gvardiol
    Salah*, Foden, Bruno, Palmer
    Haaland, Jackson, Isak

    1. Plumbers Pan
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 26 days ago

      Who to C Man ?

    2. Malkmus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 26 days ago

      Son is in bad form, but Sheffield Utd away have worst def in league so you have to play him really. I think he'll prob blank but can't take the risk

  11. Malkmus
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 26 days ago

    Evening all. 1FT, 2.4 ITB. Current Tm: Any thoughts.

    Raya (Petro)
    Gabriel - Walker - Romero - (Burn - Porro)
    Son - Foden - Bruno - Palmer - Gordon
    Haaland - Isak - Jackson

    Which one, and Havertz or Olise?

    A - Bruno to Havertz or Olise, (Play Isak, Bench Gordon)
    B - Bruno to Havertz or Olise, (Play Gordon, Bench Isak)
    C - Gordon to Havertz or Olise, (Play Bruno, Bench Isak)
    D - Gordon to Havertz or Olise, (Play Isak, Bench Bruno)

    Currently thinking C with Olise...

    Ta!

  12. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 26 days ago

    Biggest decision you've had to make all season? Mine was FH29 or 34 as I luckily went for GW34. Another one was going for Gvardiol over Akanji

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 26 days ago

      Daddy or chips.

      1. Husky
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 26 days ago

        Chips

  13. Hanz0
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 26 days ago

    Chasing 11 points - whats the best option?

    A.) Gordon > Olise
    B.) Gordon > Trossard
    C.) KDB and Isak > Mateta and Salah (c) -4

    Options A and B keep the armband on Haaland.

    Ignoring defence my only real differentials currently are KDB and Saka

    Do we think Salah outscores Haaland?

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 26 days ago

      c.
      Might as well go all in for it.

    2. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 26 days ago

      yes C....best chance of overturning the deficit, although still unlikely.

  14. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 26 days ago

    Bench one:

    A) Isak
    B) Jackson
    C) Bruno

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 26 days ago

      a

    2. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 26 days ago

      A

  15. fish&chips
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 26 days ago

    Which option has the best chance of making up a 15 point deficit:

    1) KDB -> Salah (c). Play Gordon & Cucurella
    2) Garnacho & Gordon -> Olise & Johnson (-4), & captain Son & bench Cucurella

  16. drughi
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 26 days ago

    Play gordon or isak ?

    1. Fintroy
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 26 days ago

      Gordon

  17. The Ilfordian

    KDB seen in full team training ahead of WHU

    Five time top 1k finishes is an incredible stat !

  19. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 26 days ago

    Sadly I have to bench one of Bruno Isak or Jackson, currently on Bruno

  20. Ivana Tinkle
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 25 days ago

    Hello Tom and all, currently 49k. I’m 6 points behind my mini league leader. Team is:

    Petro (Pickford)
    Gabriel - Porro - White (Mitchell - Braithw)
    KDB - Foden - Palmer - Olise - Saka
    Haaland - Jackson (Isaak)

    So, question is who to Captain to make up the 6 points? Leader has Gvard, Son but no KDB or Saka and will probably captain Haaland??

    Thanks in advance
