The next round of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is fast approaching, with the Gameweek 5 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.

Team selection, 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.

          Here's what Hurzeler said: “He will train today with the team and then we have to see how it’s going, if he can train fully, if he can do all the movements,” Hurzeler said of Pedro at his pre-match press conference on Friday morning. “Of course we won’t take any risk but he will be part of the training today.”

          1. nazrinn

  16. abaalan

    If not wildcarding in gw 6, when are other options to do so with fixtures swings etc?
    Thinking of rolling ft and having 3 to get in ars next week and hold wc.

  17. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Been waiting all wk for my Isak➡️Watkins transfer for free. That 0.5m is precious

  18. Nespinha
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Taking a -4 hit this week, no plans to WC soon. Pick one:

    A) Isak --- Havertz
    B) Gordon --- Mbeumo
    C) Gvardiol --- Konsa

    1. Paddy Gooner
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      B

    2. garriq
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      B

  19. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Bench order correct?

    Havertz VDV Lewis

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

    Can't do isak to Watkins for free
    How about isak Muniz to Watkins vardy for -4?
    Bench is sangare Johnson barco (no minutes basically)

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Yeah I like those moves.

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

        But a hit before WC doesn't seem right, but with bench injured doesn't seem like there are any alternatives

        1. The Big Fella
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          How many players will you change on your wild card? If just 4-5 don’t bother doing it yet

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

            Ohh no i think only 3-4 players will be same on my WC
            I took the hit

  21. Paddy Gooner
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    When will we know about Isak? I'd prefer to keep him and avoid a -4, however my other forwards are Haaland and Vini (who doesn't play) so can't afford to bench Isak either.

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Probably after the deadline.

  22. mojoindojo
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Wissa to
    1. Wood
    2. Welbeck
    3. Vardy

  23. garriq
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    is it worth -4 to swap out alisson?

    Bench is a throw away, so net net is looking at predicting a CS and hope for 2-3 points tops
