Rate My Team

FPL Rate My Team surgery with five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman

The deadline for Gameweek 12 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is fast approaching and the questions are, as ever, coming thick and fast in our comments section.

Most of these are requests for advice on transfer dilemmas and it’s with that in mind that we’ve asked five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, to answer some of them over the next 90 minutes.

He’ll be on hand to reply to comments below the line of this piece and will get through as many as he can until the team news article goes up at 4.30pm GMT, with priority given to questions from Premium Members if there is a deluge.

As ever, you can chip in with your own opinions on the raft of RMT requests filtering through – and naturally, feel 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, which gives points projections for this weekend and beyond – an example of which is below:

Our colleague Will (aka TopMarx) has produced a guide to the Rate My Team tool which you can read here.

    Hey Gents, I had A.Armstrong the two gameweeks he returned. I'd like to get rid of him after Norwich. Play Livra or risk it with Armstrong?

        Thanks for the comment.
        I don't have enough funds.
        I've been looking at Liv > Dias and Antonio > Benteke.
        Dias gives me cover if Foden out and Benteke could haul just as many as Antonio?

    Steele
    TAA, Cancelo, James, Livramento
    Salah, Havertz, Jota, Raphinha
    Antonio, Toney

    Sanchez; Jimenez, Brownhill, White.

    2 FT 3.5 ITB

    A) Havertz -> Son
    B) Jimenez -> Wilson
    C) Jimenez + Brownhill -> Broja + Son (switch to 3-5-2)

    Was all set on A but not sure now after seeing the team news. Leicester have been poor defensively so Havertz could be worth keeping with Lukaku still out and a Jimenez benching seems like a decent possibility.

    Afternoon Tom or anyone else who may have a view on this. I know the Brentford lads aren't bad options this week but was all set for Mbeumo & Toney > Brownhill & Wilson with 2ft before Foden doubt which would give me the following 4-4-2. Just really like Wilson this week and beyond so Mbeumo sale only way to enable. Any thoughts? Leaves a weak bench is my only worry. Moves would give me the following team this week....

    Foster
    Trent, James, Chilwell, Cancelo
    Foden*, Mo, Jota, Son
    Wilson, Antonio
    (Sanchez, Livra, Brownhill, Gelhardt)

    How do we think Newcastle v Brentford is going to pan out?

    Wilson is tempting with my FT but also have both Brentford forwards

  8. Stefanrb

    Mbeumo to Son or Antonio to Kane?

  9. Gazzpfc

    Help

    Which 2 please

    Vardy
    Livra
    ESR
    Hwang

  10. xvavl

    2 years, 4 months ago

    Martinez
    Livra, Dias, TAA,James
    Benrahma, Salah, Raphinha, ESR
    Vardy, Saint-Maxim

    bench: Sanchez, Toney, Mount, Omoba

    1ft, £0.4 ib

    a) Would you do Dias->Cancelo & Mount->Gallagher (-4) or keep transfer
    b) 4-4-2 (as current) or 4-5-1 (with Mount in) and if 4-5-1 which striker?
    c) Bench feedback- is the order right?

    Thanks

    Need help

    Have Sanchez in goal with no back up, going to get in lloris, still have vardy, havertz and azpi which I’m not happy with.

    Would you take -8 to get in Kane or son?
