The next round of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is fast approaching, with the Gameweek 4 deadline at 11am BST on Saturday.

If you’re after some last-minute assistance, five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, will be answering some of your questions over the next hour.

Wildcard drafts, free transfers, points hits, captaincy: whatever’s on your mind, ask away.

Tom will 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, he 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.

    With so many potential risers tonight, I may be forced into an early WC.

    1. jayzico
      2 years, 1 month ago

      You'd be wise to ef all has risen this week. Most probably because tinkering with their own WC.

      That indeed means NOW is a cracking time to WC.

    Boys

    What's the news on Palmer please?

    1. Crunchie

      Hello mate. Was seen on training on Monday I heard (from here)

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Crunchie

        You're a star

        1. Crunchie
          2 years, 1 month ago

          no worries. Hope you had a good summer!

  3. Orion

    Worth to bring in Robertson for a hit?
    Or just play Lewis Konsa Robinson and save ?

    1. vova
      2 years, 1 month ago

      save IMO, all 3 are decent picks for this week

    2. jayzico
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Save. Defo. Why Robbo over Trent? Def worth finding that extra mill.

      1. Orion
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Short 0.5 for Trent

    3. Orion
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers guys

    Who to pick for 2nd keeper at 4.0? Is it worth getting fabianski due to areolas injury record or is it likely just to result in me owning the first 3.9 keeper?

    1. _Freddo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Fabianski is on his way to a rise so he’s more likely to be 4.1 then 3.9

      1. ebb2sparky
        2 years, 1 month ago

        If he doesn't get ahead of areola I guarantee he'll be 3.9 at some point regardless of whether he goes to 4.1 tomorrow

        1. _Freddo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          2 years, 1 month ago

          You think enough people are going to use a FT on a 4m keeper they never expected to start?

          1. ebb2sparky
            2 years, 1 month ago

            I don't know why his price would rise unless people genuinely think he has a chance of starting. I suspect it is mainly WC transfers so his price won't rise. Let's see.

  5. Peter Haddock
    2 years, 1 month ago

    With a lot doing Isak > Pedro to facilitate Saka > Salah, with already owning Salah is the same move worth it for Hall > TAA with 2FT?

  6. Jullepuu
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Any ideas? 2 free transfers and 0.0m in the bank.

    Henderson Lis
    Gabriel Konsa Robinson Myko THB
    Salah Jota Gordon Eze ESR
    Haaland Isak Jebbison

  7. _Freddo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Haaland will play but if he doesn’t, the Vc will surely kick in, either he will play or not at all, can’t see him being on the bench.

    On the WC with 3FTs in the bank, if there’s a leak, he’s going to become Watkins & Isak/Havertz/Jackson & bring him back after Arsenal.

  8. _Greg
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Make sure you have those vice captains correct Haaland owners! :mrgreen:

  9. Sailboats
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Go safe with Salah (c)? Or just leave it on Haaland.. hmmmmmm

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Salah !

    2. Sgt. Schultz
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Go Salah

    3. Sir Michael Taker
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I don't really get the thinking here. If he's on compassionate leave then he's probably not in the squad at all and you just VC Salah.

      1. Boss Hogg
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yep. He either starts or he's not in the squad at all.

  10. Silecro
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Palmer still a good option to buy?

    1. F4L
      2 years, 1 month ago

      for sure, doesnt have to play midweeks unlike the other premiums

  11. F4L
    2 years, 1 month ago

    chances of a Haaland in or out leak before the deadline tomorrow?

  12. Ask Yourself
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Right I think the WC is finally there. Thoughts please ? x

    Verbruggen
    TAA Robertson Lewis
    Salah Eze Semenyo Minteh
    Haaland Watkins Joao

    Flekken Rogers Konsa Mosquera

    1. Strike me a Gakpose
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I think you’ll regret not having any Arsenal & Brentford players in GW6

      1. Ask Yourself
        2 years, 1 month ago

        I will buy them with my FTs in GW6

  13. FootballRookie
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Looking at fixtures, thinking...

    Saliba to Robertson for free?

    Yay or nay?

    (No other Liverpool players barring Jota)

    1. F4L
      2 years, 1 month ago

      yea

  14. Mr. O'Connell
    2 years, 1 month ago

    For the next 4 weeks:

    Raya and ESR
    Verbruggen and Eze

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Verbruggen and Eze

  15. ididnt
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Gabriel, ESR, Havertz > Robbo, Eze, Pedro for free?

    1. Boss Hogg
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Looks sound.
      Presumably you still have your wildcard so you can get back on Arsenal later on?

      1. ididnt
        2 years, 1 month ago

        yes these are my 3 FT rolled and then WC GW6 for Arsenal triple up

        1. Boss Hogg
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Similar plan to me. Arsenal and Brentford in from gw6.

  16. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Who to VC?
    Jota
    Saka
    Madueke
    Gordon
    Isak

    Thanks

    1. Gudjohnsen
      2 years, 1 month ago

      I did Jota

      1. Weasel Boy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah hopefully he starts

  17. ididnt
    2 years, 1 month ago

    how does this look

    Henderson
    Robertson, Muniz, Robinson
    Salah, Jota, Eze, Rogers
    Haaland, Isak, Pedro

    (Fab, Porro, Johnson, Sangare)

    1. Boss Hogg
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Looks great.
      Porro is good cover if Haaland misses out and Pedro should get some minutes even if he starts on the bench. I would probably Porro over Robinson to be honest.

      1. ididnt
        2 years, 1 month ago

        reckon Welbeck over Pedro? can't quite bring myself to back Welbeck for some reason

        1. Boss Hogg
          2 years, 1 month ago

          Ferguson and Rutter threaten Welbeck's game time now. I wouldn't. But if you are going to get him then this gw is a good one to do it. Just have an escape route.

          1. ididnt
            2 years, 1 month ago

            seeing as this is a mid-term move I'll go Pedro

  18. mcsteely
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Gordon to Diaz, or roll FT?

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Yes for me

  19. Assisting the assister
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Play Garnacho or Rogers? Cheers for help!

    1. Meechum
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Rogers

  20. XX SMICER XX
    2 years, 1 month ago

    With Haaland potentially out I’m tempted to WC and bring him back in a few weeks time. I would have 5 transfers banked by then.

    Also means I can get Salah

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      2 years, 1 month ago

      If you sell, he will score a hattrick. If you keep, he will be out.

      It will be one of those ones

      1. XX SMICER XX
        2 years, 1 month ago

        Very true

  21. BusbySwede
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Robinson, Konsa
    Salah, Saka, Palmer, Rogers
    Watkins, Havertz, Pedro

    Flekken, ESR, Faes, Milenkovic

    Have 2 FT.
    G2G and roll transfer, or do Saka to Eze/Mitoma/Minteh/Diaz/Jota and bring Saka back in gw6?

  22. Boss Hogg
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Apart from Haaland and Salah, who do you think are the 3 best players to own this gw?

    I'll go with:

    Eze
    Mitoma
    Jota

    ???

    1. JÆKS ⭐
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Why Jota? Havent watched their games, wondering how his position on the field differs from Diaz and Salah.

      Personally I think Welbeck and Zirkzee are great shouts for just next week

      1. Boss Hogg
        2 years, 1 month ago

        2 good shouts there.
        Jota because I think Liverpool will create a lot of chances against Forest.

    2. Sir Michael Taker
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Eze
      Trent
      One of Brighton's mid/attackers

  23. EL tridente
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno and Saka to Salah and Semenyo/Minteh for free?

  24. Athletic Nasherbo
    2 years, 1 month ago

    I think we can all agree this is a tricky decision! Interested to hear thoughts, greatly appreciated.

    Play 1

    A) Robinson
    B) Saliba
    C) Gabriel

    1. Boss Hogg
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Could all be 2 pointers this week.
      Robinson maybe the most likely for a clean sheet and/or an assist.
      Arsenal could get one from a set piece, but I don't think they keep a clean sheet.

      Tricky.

    2. Sir Michael Taker
      2 years, 1 month ago

      Gabriel.
      - Every chance Arteta will try and play it tight and nick a good old 1-0 to the Arsenal's with half his midfield missing.
      - Spurs create a lot but couldn't finish a sandwich against Leicester or Newcastle.
      - Vicario is scared of high balls into the box from set plays.

  25. Kane Train
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Would you transfer Saka for Diaz?

    1. CoracAld2831
      2 years, 1 month ago

      No, but for Salah, yes.

  26. Sospeter
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Haaland flagged

  27. dbeck
    2 years, 1 month ago

    On WC

    A) Jackson and Lewis
    B) Wissa and Saliba

    Its the real dilemma of planning to keep pace with GW6 WC or going with there here and now.

  28. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Best VC:

    A) TAA
    B) Jota
    C) Palmer
    D) Saka

  29. Our Tiny Windows
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go?

    Areola
    Porro Lewis Robinson
    Gordon Jota Salah(v) Eze
    Haaland(c) Muniz Isak

    Or Isak Gordon to Palmer Pedro for -4?

  30. Boss Hogg
    2 years, 1 month ago

    Buy one, sell one:

    Buy:
    a. Trent
    b. Robbo
    c. Eze

    Sell
    a. Gvardiol
    b. Porro
    c. Madueke

    ???
