The next round of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is fast approaching, with the Gameweek 9 deadline just hours away.

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, triple captain: 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.

    The last week kudus goal why the assist was not given to bowen?

    1. Studs Up

      Not the intended target was the verdict...deflected off VdV

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Which is absolute horse shite. Kudus even had to check his run so still reached the “intended target” as per rules

  5. Kantelele
    • 3 Years

    Better option for 3 GW :

    1. Kantelele
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      B) Savio*

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Damn I already transferred in Son. How long is he out for?

      1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Might play

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          «Unlikely»

    3. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Why replace with good fixtures?

    4. RedJive79
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      "Sonny's still not right, still not feeling 100%. He won't train today, so he's unlikely for this weekend and we'll see after that."

    5. RedJive79
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Doesn't sound like he'll play to me.

  7. Randaxus
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I think Letstalkfpl Andy has lost his mind, he just said Chelsea is an "ok not terrible fixture for man united" I don't know what he is smoking be it must be good, I predict Chelsea will win 5-0.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Both are meh, especially defensively

      1. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I think Chelsea are one of the best attacking teams in Europe, they went to Anfield and went head to head with Liverpool who I think are one of the best teams in europe, I think they have real quality and maybe the best player in the world with Cole Palmer.

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          That's some hyperbole, but fair play for voicing your opinion.

        2. Mayor of Flair
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Think Lavia has the potential to be the best DM this side of the galaxy

      2. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        meanwhile Man United have drawn 3 games in the europa league lol, they can't even win against teams from farmers leauges.

        1. Mayor of Flair
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          What's a leauge?

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Chelsea have 0 wins and 6 league goals at Old Trafford in the last 10 years, it's a tough fixture for them despite the "banter"

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Chelsea haven't won at OT since May 2013

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      It should be a close game if it’s at Old Trafford. Maybe he meant Chelsea aren’t great defensively?

      1. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        He said it was a ok fixture in general.

    5. Dammit_182
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I think on black box as pointed out Chelsea were near the bottom for expected goals conceded. United have been keeping clean sheets so I guess a 0-5 Chelsea win might be a bit far fetched. Chelsea seem to be a bit like spurs in having a great attack and relatively poor defence.

    6. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Both of you biased

    7. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

    Maddison or Kulusevski?

    1. Mayor of Flair

      1 year, 1 month ago

      Kulu short term

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Maddison set & forget

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo

    1. Mayor of Flair

      B

  12. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Is Cunha worth the extra mil over Larsen ?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      He is on pens, but Larsen seem to be the actual striker. Cunha seem to play supporting striker/no10.

    2. Mayor of Flair
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Wolves are rubbish

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Both worth sod all, so I guess the answer is no

    4. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Overpriced POO

  13. bruuuno
    • 7 Years

    Joao Pedro > Jimenez -4?

    Have Son so wont have full team otherwise

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes

  14. Mayor of Flair
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Start:

    A. Konsa (BOU)
    B. Davis (Leif) (BRE)
    C. Delap (BRE)

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      A

      1. Mayor of Flair
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Thanks a thousand

  15. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Son to foden for a hit seems too much right? Just play Semenyo off the bench?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Probably hold as its doesn't sound like a big issue and an eye on Son (c) in GW11

      1. The Red Devil
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yeah & if he's out next week, can do a move for Salah even if for a hit?

    2. Fuddled FC
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I'm debating that myself..
      If there's a good chance he might be out next week also I think it might be worth a hit

      1. The Red Devil
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        But the issue is you'll want to sell foden soon as well

    3. JBG
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Play Semenyo yeah... Villa struggling to keep a CS in PL matches.

  16. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Justice served on the son/Saka scoundrels

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Unless

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Unless they get a leak that he's in fact fine to play...

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Lol. Son 4 goals inbound

        2. chocolove
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          No chance. "Wont train this week"

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Not a good follow up week for Son owners lost the assist then lost him

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        That's life

  17. Tinfoil Deathstar
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    £0.2 ITB and 3 FT's. Tempted by Palmer, but think I'll roll FT given only route is Salah who is probably best captain next week.

    Good to go? Could play Konsa over Gabriel/Trent, but feels wrong benching premium defenders.

    Flekken
    Trent - Gabriel - Lewis
    Salah - Mbeumo (vc) - Eze - Rogers
    Haaland (TC) - DCL - Wood

    Bench: Verbruggen; Minteh, Konsa, Bednarek

    1. Mayor of Flair
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I'd nearly start Konsa over Eze

      1. Tinfoil Deathstar
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Nah, think Eze will reward the patience this week.

        1. Mayor of Flair
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          You've got some serious patience!

  18. DagheMunegu
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Am I mad to prefer Salah over Palmer ?

    1. Tinfoil Deathstar
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      No. I think Salah scores more points over next 4. Would want Palmer from GW12 though.

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I chose to bring Salah in over Palmer, I think people are being short-sighted regarding Palmer's better fixture this week

    3. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I prefer Palmer this week (even as an NUFC fan), but Salah for the foreseeable

  19. Tonyawesome69

    Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber not in training today ahead of Sunday's game against Liverpool

    https://x.com/SkySportsNews/status/1849770361476264085?t=HOtumHb0BnaP9XMnsouR2w&s=19

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years

      That’s Saka out then. I wonder how serious it is?

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Cheers. That's him not playing Sunday then

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Worth noting reporters get access for the first 15 mins of the training session and the game is on Sunday

  20. Dammit_182

    I guess this is a popular question but….

    1) saka to palmer

    2) saka & Saliba to Salah & Collins

    (Defence currently Gabriel, ait nuri & tarkowski)

          Thankyou mate

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      AC. Good chance both B and C concede but RAN's attacking potential is far higher

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Cheers mate, A is locked and B and C are a toss up for exactly the reasons you state could go either way this decision

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Clean sheets are rare this season. I think you have to prioritize attacking threat

        • 8 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Thankyou mate, currently have A and B starting, RAN’s attacking potential is making me give the decision between B and C an bit more consideration

        1. nico05
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          I know what you mean just think A & B are the more solid picks overall personally

    Would you switch Saliba to Gvardiol and bench Gab or roll FTs?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I'd make that switch

    2. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years

      Saliba to Gvardiol and bench Gabriel

    3. nico05

      I would

      Yes make the move

    5. Boz

      Thanks both

    6. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I would do the transfer, however, depends on the benefit of holding the FT i.e. future plans

          Cheers, would you hold Saka although he isn't gonna play? Just seems a lot of £ not playing

            I’m holding him but I had other fires to put out, what about Saka to Foden this week for a bit of fun and then Foden and Havertz to Salah and Raul for the hit next week when Salah and raul have decent home games??

              Not a bad shout ta all that mate, always the worry he doesn't start but could be worth a go

                  Yeahh I think it may be the best short term switch though. Cheers mate

    Who is the best Jota replacement short term (1-3 weeks - I have a WC ready to play!)

    A. B Johnson
    B. Rashford
    C. Kulu
    D. Bowen
    E. McNeil
    F. Bruno
    G. Semenyo (bench option, bank transfer)
    H. Diaz

    £8.6m ITB so priced out of Palmer

      A - Maddison is not a bad shout either

        Thanks, Spurs do feel like the team to target.
        I am tempted by Bowen however West Ham mixed form worries me

    Who scores more this week?

    A. Salah
    B. Foden

      I fancy Salah to run riot against Arsenal's weakened defence, especially Zinchenko at LB.

      Salah by 2pts to 1

      I think so, seems to be fit again.

    Garnacho or Mcneil on WC?

    It would mean downgrading THB(4.0m) to Taylor (3.9m) as my last bench option.
