The next round of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is fast approaching, with the Gameweek 14 deadline at 18:00 GMT on Tuesday.

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, 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.

FOLLOW TUESDAY’S LIVE TEAM NEWS HERE

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.

    2. rvp786
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      depends on your bench cover and your overall team but just based on that info maybe not

    3. Traction Engine Foot
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      I was considering it for Jackson but think I will hold off

      Don't think Greaves will start 2bh.

      Greaves

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 2 days ago

        Do not lay a curse upon me, egg

        1. _Greg
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 2 days ago

          you don't have any Liverpool defenders, may as well play Isak over Mbeumo.

          1. Deulofail
            • 9 Years
            1 year, 2 days ago

            Putting aside the Liverpool defenders that I don't have for a moment, what would be the reasons to play Isak instead of Rogers?

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      I'd start Isak over Rogers

    3. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      I have Digne. I don't think he will start 3 in a row so I've benched him

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 2 days ago

        Okay, so you think I should bench him for Mazraoui away at the Emirates?

        1. Yozzer
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 2 days ago

          Since you put it that way... Tough one. If Digne benched then it's likely he comes on late. No saying he will be benched btw just would make logical sense

    Don't forget all the games are on prime video next few days, lovely stuff for Amazon Prime customers.

    Ipswich vs Crystal Palace (1-1)
    Leicester vs West Ham (2-1)

    1. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      I just got a free trial there!

      But I'm European so it doesn't really affect me, we get all the games streamed anyway 🙂

  8. Tsumo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 2 days ago

    Buy Semenyo or Kluivert?

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      Kluivert always seems to be subbed on 75. I'd go Semenyo.

    2. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      Semenyo

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 2 days ago

        Nice Arshavin pic 🙂

        1. Tsumo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          Thanks. Loved that guy!

            It's a shame he's now just a big fanboy of Putin.

    3. Philosopher's Stones

      Schade

    4. Traction Engine Foot
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      Semenyo

    5. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      Kluivert tempting me because if the penalties but think both are great for the money.

    6. Dogs Of War
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      Kluivert on pens

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 2 days ago

        Pretty much all he really offers, though.

  9. Sid07
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 days ago

    Any news on Isak?

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      Fit to play.

      1. Deulofail
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 2 days ago

        Is that so? How do you know?

        1. Deulofail
          • 9 Years
          1 year, 2 days ago

          Oh, that he said he is https://x.com/AndyKerrtv/status/1863634904086421833

          1. _Greg
            • 15 Years
            1 year, 2 days ago

            the magic of reading yah.

  10. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 2 days ago

    Would you play Fab over Flekken or Hall/Greaves over Lewis/Myko?

    About the GKs, honestly I could bet against tried AV, for sure can see Leo scoring at home against that WH.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      Think Leicester score one, first game with new manager normally leads to at least a goal right? Greaves maybe but probably just Lewis/Myko

    2. Joke Insurance™
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      Just imagine your GKs vision is accurate! You can then post this link after both teams have played and go, “see, I told you so”.

    Confucius Say before becoming master fisherman, must first become master baiter

    1. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      I do love to acquire all the fish. then in turn use them as bait for the big whale (Trent)

    2. Joke Insurance™
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      Well, that’s debatable.

    3. AIRMILES
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 2 days ago

      Confucius comes in handy.

      1. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        1 year, 2 days ago

        Or in a tissue.

    Which moves here?
    A) Foden, ESR, Mbuemo, Solanke > Palmer, Mitoma, Kudus & Wissa
    B) Foden, ESR, Mbeumo & Solanke > Palmer, Kluivert/Amad, Bowen & FWD up to 6.2m (Wissa/Delap/Evanlison)
    C) Similar to A&B but keep ESR and upgrade VDV or Harwood Bellis

    PEP (On Kevin De Bruyne update) He is closer [to full fitness] and [has been] even better in the last few days.

    PEP (On John Stones injury update) He's not close, no. Still, he is injured - he has an injury to his feet. I don’t know [when he will be back] but, I would say, not next week.
