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 your latest drafts, specific players, differentials 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.

    • 9 Years

    1. Pickford Saliba
    2. Raya Porro

    (Trent Gvardiol have)

  3. 360_No_Pope
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    A) Raya, Munoz

    B) Henderson, Saliba

    Seen everyone going B, A’s better no?

    1. chilli con kone
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      A prefer A…but B is more flexible as you don’t lock funds in the keeper spot and Raya probably isn’t getting more points per million than Hendo

    2. thattreblefeeling
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      B

  4. MGD
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    What you think? Haaland and Salah-draft.

    Henderson
    Gvardiol - Porro - Quansah
    Salah - Gordon - Nkunku - ESR
    Haaland - Isak

    Matthews- Robinson - Barco - FWD-fodder

    1. MGD
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      lol and Eze in midfield as well. 3-5-2

    2. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      Nkunku would worry me week 1, is there a more guaranteed player you can choose and switch him in if he performs?

    3. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      Decent balance to say you've slotted them both in. Quansah the main risk

  5. John78
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    A) Henderson + Munoz

    Or

    B) Pope + Munoz

    1. GianniBanani
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      im A, but thinking about Sels

  6. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    My Scrabble defence:
    Konsa
    Quansah
    van Dijk
    Van der Ven
    Van Hecke

    a snip at 24m.

    1. Drosiah
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      A lot of faith in the Dutch

  7. nico05
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Please advise if you see if anything obvious. Any advice would be greatly welcomed please? 0.5 ITB
    Henderson
    Gabrial Gvardiol Martinez
    Nkunku Eze Rashford Saka
    Solanke Haaland Isak
    (Mykelenko Sangare Barco)

    A. Gvardiol + Nkunku - Walker(or any other nailed city def?) + Gordon/Jota if so which?
    B. Anything else?

    1. thattreblefeeling
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      I would upgrade Eze or Rashford to Jota with .5 ITB keep the rest

  8. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    A) Saliba
    B) Porro
    C) Gvardiol

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      A

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      That would be my order of preference

  9. SomeoneKnows
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Start ESR or Rogers?

    1. chilli con kone
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      Rogers

  10. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Had Eze from GW1 last season.
    Was absolutely usueles...

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      Don't say that! Ha ha

    2. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      I’m happy to go against him.

      Sure he’ll have a run at some point but at 7.5 I think there’s some better goal scorers.

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 24 days ago

        Who are you on?

        1. CABAYE4
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 24 days ago

          Between Jota and Gordon (see post below)

    3. Jaws
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      Same here. Always played well & gained general praise for assisting the assister.
      Eze under Glasner, a different animal though.

  11. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    A. Gordon & ESR

    B. Jota & Murphy

    I have Isak & Salah and would be starting both picks every game.

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      I've gone with B.
      Salah, Jota, Eze, Murphy and ESR.
      Can wild card Gordon in later if it really backfires.

    2. McGurn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 17 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      Jota & ESR?

  12. Jstap94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Raya, other 4.5
    Trent, Saliba, Gvardiol, Barco, Konsa
    Nkunku, ESR, Jota, Kudus, Gordon
    Pedro, Haaland, Solanke

    Aiming to build up transfers for fixture swings, hence spreading the money. All thoughts welcome!

    1. thattreblefeeling
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      If you are spending 5+ on a keeper, backup has to be 4.0m

  13. Mata of opinion
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

     Please let me know your thoughts:

    Henderson (4.0)
    TAA Gvardiol Barco (Robinson THB)
    Salah Son KDB Amad (Rogers)
    Havertz Solanke Isak

    1. bmor
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      Don’t believe KDB will start

      1. Mata of opinion
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 24 days ago

        Oh really? Any particular reason? Not been keeping an eye on preseason

        1. Obligatory
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 24 days ago

          I've got him in my team. He didn't start the Community Shield game so there's question marks over GW1.

          I'm keeping for now though.

          1. Mata of opinion
            • 7 Years
            2 years, 24 days ago

            Yeh same. Will switch to foden once he's up to speed

  14. bmor
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Pretty much done. Last player max 6.5m or under for fist 3 games

    A. MGW
    B. Mitoma
    C. Nikuku
    D. ESR and strengthen bench
    F. Find 0.5 somewhere and get EZE

    1. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      A

    2. Drosiah
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      C

  15. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Pick a combination-
    Keeper is Henderson

    A- Munoz + nkunku
    B- Saliba + ESR

    1. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      B

    2. bmor

      😀

  17. Pioorek
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    A: Jacob Murphy
    B: Smith-Rowe

    1. Obligatory
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      B for me

    2. bmor
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      A

  18. Fuddled FC
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Would you rather have

    a) Pope, Porro, Barco
    b) Hendo, Gabs, Robinson

    1. Obligatory
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      B

  19. GianniBanani
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    WYT?

    Henderson (Valdimarsson)
    Quansah / Munoz / Hall (Robinson, Mosquera)
    Salah / Saka / Murphy / Minteh (Winks)
    Haaland / Isak / Solanke

    Minteh - Solanke > Eze - Wood/Muniz?

    1. thattreblefeeling
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      I would keep Solanke

      Minteh - Saka > Bruno/Odegaard - Eze

  20. cutch
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    A) Gabriel + Romero
    B) Dalot + Pedro Porro + 0.5
    C) Dalot + Romero + 1.0

    1. bmor
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      B

  21. Count Olaf
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Any thoughts on the following
    4.0 GK for bench?
    4.0 DEF as fifth choice?
    4.5-5.0-5.5 FWD as an 8th attacker?

    1. Shipstontrev
      • 17 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      The one without Romero

  22. Barnaby Wilde
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Any chance of Carvalho starting for Brentford?

    1. thattreblefeeling
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      Super sub

  23. ididnt
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Flekken or Henderson as set and forget 4.5m keeper?

    1. thattreblefeeling
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      Henderson better defence

    2. GAMBIT
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      There was an article on here that suggested Flekken was the best choice. I am however going Henderson

  24. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    a) Garnacho + Joao Pedro
    b) Fodder + Solanke (promote 1. ESR or 2. Gvardiol from the bench?)

    1. Obligatory
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      Both good options imo so hard to call.

      I think having Solanke just edges it as it's safer.

      1. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 24 days ago

        Solanke is the one main risk i'm going without. thanks

    2. swervinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      B with Gvardiol

  25. The Mighty I
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Quite surprised that I'm not seeing double Arsenal defence in drafts.

    1. thattreblefeeling
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      Villa Spurs away in first 4

  26. Thanos
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Any Ipswich fans here? How would your team approach their match? Sit back and try to pray for a lucky goal or go there with full fervour?

  27. Bumbaclot
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    Hi all, I need help with this last bit:

    A. Trent/saka/solanke

    Or

    B. Gvardiol/salah/wood

    Thanks!!

    Trying to join a work league but it says invalid code. The code is published in a PDF so I would be surprised if it’s incorrect. Anything I’m missing?

  29. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 24 days ago

    A) Quansah
    B) Hall

    1. swervinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 24 days ago

      Hall easy

      1. corderz

    Tight - B I think Trent is too expensive
