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.

    Raya, Fabianski
    TAA, Gabriel, Lewis, Mykolenko, Greaves
    Saka, Luis Diaz, Mbeumo, Semenyo, Rogers,
    Haaland, Solanke, Wood

    I have 4 FT 0 ITB

    Should I do:
    A) Saka & Luis Diaz > Palmer & Johnson
    B) Saka, Luis Diaz, TAA, Semenyo > Palmer, Son, Van De Ven, Buonanotte
    C) Saka, Luis Diaz, TAA, Semenyo > Palmer, Johnson, Konate, Buonanotte
    D) Saka, Luis Diaz, TAA, Solanke > Palmer, Son, Gvardiol, Raul

    1. EnterJakari
      • 5 Years

      I'd personally stick with A and save those FT's

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

      A is fine

    3. Dutchy FPL
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      A

    4. jacob1989
      • 3 Years

      Son is injured

  2. Orion

    Salah to Foden for free? Then bring back Salah for next GW? Thoughts ?

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

      I fancy Salah against the Arsenal defence and Foden is a risk as he may not even start.

    2. jack88
      • 4 Years

      Lol no way. Waste of transfers

    3. TheBiffas

      Madness.

    Bottomed..

    Garnacho or Mcneil on WC?

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

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

      McNeil

    2. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Mcneil

      1. nico05

        This!

    3. Bggz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      mcneil

    4. Dutchy FPL
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I might be crazy.. But, Garnacho. Both have good fixtures, but i've got the feeling that McNeil just outscored his xG a lot. Garnacho looked lively against Brentford and I could see a haul coming. But have to be fair, not a McNeil fan. He did good this season so far though..

    Good afternoon everyone. quick question.
    PLAY TWO from.

    A) Aint Nouri ( A ) Brighton
    B) Van de Ven ( A ) Palace
    C) Van de Berg ( A ) Ipswich

    Thank you

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      AC

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

      If Palace can score against anyone, it's Spurs.

    Capt palmer or haaland this week?

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

      Haaland odds are better.
      Palmer if you like to gamble

    2. jonnybhoy
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Haaland

    3. jacob1989
      • 3 Years

      I am on tc haaland

  6. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Hi guys with the Son news it puts my wildcard down to these options to finish it? What would you rather?

    Pickford
    XX RAN Robinson Gvordiol VDB
    XX Palmer Mbuemo Rogers McNeil
    XX Haaland Jimenez

    A) Gabriel, Foden and Cunha
    B) Aina, Foden and Watkins
    C) Aina/Mazaroui, Salah and Larsen

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

      C

  7. jack88
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Play
    Milenkovic (lei A)
    Or
    Mykolenko ( ful H)

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

      Milenkovic, easily

  8. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Son being out is actually a win for Saka holders. They now can move in one clean move from Saka > Palmer or Johnson rather than having gone Saka > Son > XX.

    That's 2 transfers saved. If you value each transfer at 4 points. It actually probably means Saka holders from last week win long term if they had rolled and had someone come off the bench for Saka even if that's only 1 point vs switching to Son.

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

      With how low-scoring last week was, Son's 8-pointer would have gone a long way

    2. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Thoughts on Semenyo Saka Diaz Havertz to Johnson Foden Palmer Larsen -4? Been thinking about Salah over Palmer but then can't have any Spurs mid.

    3. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yeah but now just everyone will get palmer. His goals won't be so relevant soon unless u c him.

      1. Bggz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I'm c Palmer

    4. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      Your genius has now bounds.

  9. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    What do you think of this WC team?

    Flekken Fabianski
    Gvardiol Gabriel Robinson Ait-Nouri Van den Berg
    Palmer Johnson Foden Mbeumo Winks
    Haaland Raul Wood

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

      Looks good, only question marks are around Gabriel and Foden for the short-term.

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

      I wouldn't bother with Gabriel, rest is solid

    3. Jolly Good
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Keleher?

  10. LosSurenos
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Saka/Solanke to Palmer/Strand Larsen for free? Could also aftord Cunha.

    Already have a mid of Foden Mbuemo Johnson

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

      Cunha worth the extra imo

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

      Can you not afford Saka > Palmer straight swap?

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

        Unfortunately not, 0.7 short.

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

          Any other possible downgrades other than Solanke?

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

            Gabriel to 5.5 DEF, or Gvardiol to Lewis maybe. Less inclined for the latter

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

              I'd rather sell Gabriel tbh

    3. Peter Haddock
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      I think Cunha can wait a week and play Solanke if you can afford the Palmer move in isolation

      1. Peter Haddock
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Ah sorry just seen you can’t

  11. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Anyone else on here brought Kulusevski in this week?

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

    worst of all worlds: i held Saka last week, then moved early for Son this week.

    half tempted to sell for Foden for a hit now

    1. Qaiss
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Who’s on your bench

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

        Robertson

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

      Unfortunate commiserations

  13. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Looks like foden will start given Pep says that De Bruyne, Doku, Grealish and Walker are all out for Man City.

    1. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      We already knew that. It's still Pep. I'm worried as a Foden and Lewis owner. Best game of the season, and both might be benched 😮

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Both will start

        1. jacob1989
          • 3 Years
          1 year, 1 month ago

          Lewis will definitely start. Foden my guess 75%

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

      Not necessarily with Nunes doing well at LW.

      Expect Savio RW and 3 central spots between Gundo/Bernardo/Kovacic/Foden. Gundo and Bernardo was subbed off early and Kovacic 20 mins off the bench

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Just my opinion. Foden best midfielder imo and looked good midweek.

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

          Unfortunately best midfielder may not suit what Pep tactically wants for his setup

  14. Jolly Good
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    I’ve got 3FT.

    Plan is to do Havertz to Wissa this week followed by Saka to Salah next week.

    Should I get Salah this week instead and play him instead of Semeneyo?

    I.e. is Salah vs Ars expected to get much more points than Semeneyo vs Avl?

    Also the flexibility of carrying additional FT next week

    1. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Yes u might as well get salah now

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

      Deffo do this week mate Arsenal defence will be vulnerable

  15. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 1 month ago

    Which one would you go for?

    1) Palmer Foden Johnson -4 (Larsen benched)

    2) Salah Foden Larsen -4 (Buonanotte benched)

    3) Palmer Foden Wood

      Surprised no love for 1

    5. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      Personally I wouldnt be benching Buonanotte this weekend he’s on form and probably their best outlet for goals

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        I didn't make the moves yet so it's more about possible transfer options

    Any news about WellBack?

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      ‘It’s still early to say if he can play or not, but he will train today and then we will see afterwards how the training session went and we will make a decision,’ the German told a press conference on Thursday.

      ‘Danny got hit on his nerve and then when you get hit on the nerve you don’t feel the leg for amount of time. It’s very painful and it’s still painful. We have to make a check today in the training session, make a lot of treatment for him.

      ‘Our physios are working every hour with him to make him fit for the game. This will be the challenge for us but hopefully everything will be good.’

    Juicy green arrowww

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      they might be forced to play Semenyos/Rogers/Rowes which is worse

    3. jacob1989

      I too did 2 early transfers. Luckily it was palmer and ait nouri

    4. Letsgo!

      I did that but no problem!. All sorted.
      Thats the way to play. Chill

    Thoughts on this team, right bench?

    Flekken
    TAA, Lewis, Pinnock
    Palmer, McNeil, Johnson, Mbeumo, Rogers
    (H)Haaland, Solanke
    Fbs, Havertz, Mykolenko, Ait-Nouri

    TIA

    1. ljuta zena
      • 9 Years

      Myko instead Taa

      1. kysersosa
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 1 month ago

        Yeah, thats a shout. RMT Has Myko ahead, Im just not sure if thats taking into account Arsenals recent defensive woes. I think it's a coin toss on CS potential, but TAA has more attacking return potential.

      I'm a huge Kulu fan. Can afford both him or johnson.. going kulu. Looks like it'll be his season this year.

    5. kysersosa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 1 month ago

      You know with Lulu you're getting 90 min. I think him are Johnson are good choices, with Johnson being more explosive. Kulu 0.5 cheaper though. Kulu if it enables a shield such as Palmer, Mbeumo or Haaland and Johnson if you have those covered.
