The 2022/23 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season is almost upon us, with Arsenal visiting Crystal Palace in tonight’s big kick-off.

As a result, the questions on team drafts, specific players, captaincy picks and differentials are coming thick and fast in the comments section, so we’ve asked five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, to answer some of your conundrums over the next 60 minutes.

He’ll 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, Tom will also turn his attention to other requests in the comments section.

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.

    morning all

    it's the day to rip your team apart and start again:

    Ward (sanchez)
    Trent, cancelo, james (neco, patterson)
    salah, son, mount, martinelli, aaronson
    jesus, mbeumo (dervisoglu)

      Good morning! And no my team is actually final from yesterday (I think.. still some hours to go).

      Looks good, I'm liking the balance of the team, and the Mbuemo pick. Breath of fresh air. Easy to switch around players if needed as you got a good spread of price-points to chase once the season starts.

        I’m little bit concerned about the midfield but will see how it turns out.. i wanted Son more than Kane but i was 0.5 short

    Really in two minds about the situation with Leicester's keepers. Putting them both in at £4m and saving £1m from the downgrade from Ramsdale seems to make sense, but then can't really find anywhere that the extra money is useful.

    I'd expect the price of whoever starts in goal for Leicester to increase, so might be a way to quickly get some added value early in the season.

    Or, just stick with Ramsdale rather than potentially ending up with just having £1m in the bank when season kicks off.

    1. swervinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Tough one - I've compromised and gone with Sanchez for the rotation with Ward

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      it's the not being able to get two of Vardy/Maddison/Barnes/Castagne/Justin for me, all nice picks - even KDH might be better this year (with Ndidi holding)

    3. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It's a decision you have to make in isolation to whatever anyone else is doing imo...

    4. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ramsdale. Better defence for now though Leicester's should be better than last season. If Maddison deal goes through Dubravka could be Leicester keeper.

    5. Markanmies
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I have been tinkering the same.. That 1.0 could be very useful after few gameweeks, but Leicester defence could be shaky and thinking Ramsdale receive much(?) more points than Ward/Iversen...

    6. Eyes of Blue
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah I don’t think Leicester will keep too many clean sheets in the first 8 either. I’d say it’s best to go with another keeper and have Ward as backup for now.

            Cheers mate

        2. Eyes of Blue
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          A for me. Prefer Martinelli to Rashford and Sanchez & Ward rotate well first 8.

      7. Rmonfries
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ward/Iversen + R James
        or
        Ward/

        1. LarsV
          • 3 Years

          Ward/

      8. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Where would you save 0.5 off this team?

        Ederson
        TAA Robbo Cancelo Trippier
        Salah Mount Martinelli Bailey
        Kane Jesus

        1. swervinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Robbo - James

        2. Lebowski85
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ederson

        3. AdamJ91
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ederson to Mendy, Ramsdale or Pope.

        4. G-Whizz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ederson ➡️ Ramsdale

          If you still want double City defence then do Trippier ➡️ Walker?

        5. Eyes of Blue
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah downgrade Ederson.

      9. Lebowski85
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Heres one for you......

        Currently on Saka Neto and Sanchez. Worth losing Sanchez to give me Mahrez and Martinelli?

        1. Lebowski85
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          To be clear, Ward would be my perma keeper

        2. tikka mo'salah
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Nah, I'd stick, even if I don't like the look of Neto and Wolves.

        3. Eyes of Blue
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I wouldn’t say so no. Mahrez too much of a rotation risk and Sanchez & Ward rotate well first 8.

      10. fivetothree
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hi all - just joined first time here

        RMT please

        Ramsdale, Ward
        TAA, Robertson, Walker, Cancelo, Neco
        Salah(c), Mount, Martinelli, Bailey, Andreas
        Kane, Jesus, Greenwood

        My only debate is whether to move Ramsdale to Sanchez, then upgrade Walker to Perisic?

        1. swervinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Nope - hold off on Perisic

        2. FPL failure
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Very similar to mine. Wouldn't get Perisic, but am toying with downgrading Ramsdale to upgrade Walker to James

      11. AdamJ91
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Mendy or Ramsdale?

        1. swervinho
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Rams

        2. Eyes of Blue
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Ramsdale

      12. JohnnyBGoode
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Current team:
        Ramsdale (Ward)
        TAA, Cancelo, James, Perisic (Nico)
        Salah, Diaz, Kula, Mahrez (Andreas)
        Jesus, Toney (Greenwood)

        My plan is to rotate Kula with other 8m players (or downgrade if one of the 5-6.5m midfielders catches fire). I'm also keeping an eye on Mitrovic as a possible replacement for Toney if he can capture his form from last season. My dilemma is that I have a feeling Robbo will out-perform Diaz. If I put Robbo in, who do I take out and who do I replace him with in midfield?

        1. AdamJ91
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          No Haaland or Kane, might need a rethink.

          1. JohnnyBGoode
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            That's deliberate. I think forwards are over-priced and there is more value in defenders and midfielders...especially as I will likely captain Salah almost every week...

            1. Nuka Girl
              • 9 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              I'm giving this approach a go. I have even gone a step further with only one forward.
              Bench is naff though.

        2. Eyes of Blue
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I’d do James to Robbo & replace Mahrez with Martinelli.

          1. JohnnyBGoode
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks - I'm not keen on doubling up attackers from the same team (except Liverpool). As I already have Jesus I was steering clear of Martinelli and Saka

            1. Eyes of Blue
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 4 months ago

              Maybe Neto then? Or Bailey?

              1. JohnnyBGoode
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 16 Years
                3 years, 4 months ago

                Yes, I had them both in my earlier drafts - it's probably paranoia, but I'm often wary of those who do well in pre-season!

                1. JohnnyBGoode
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 16 Years
                  3 years, 4 months ago

                  Good idea, though...oh hang on...if I get Robbo its Diaz that has to go, not Mahrez...

                  1. JohnnyBGoode
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 16 Years
                    3 years, 4 months ago

                    OK, so here's the choice.

                    Team A (above) or Team B:

                    Ramsdale (Ward)
                    TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, Perisic (Nico)
                    Salah, Son, Neto, Bailey (Andreas)
                    Jesus, Toney (Greenwood)

                    So, it comes down to which will score better:
                    A: James, Kula, Mahrez, Diaz
                    B: Robbo, Son, Neto, Bailey

          Upgrade your defence - Dias or Robertson (if you can find another £0.5m)

        Imagine a few are pondering something similar. Best final picks and why? Thanks!

          not a huge Neto fan really (Wolves scored 38 last season and Jimenez is injured) and Perisic has bib theory hanging over him, so A

          Tough, really tough but with that gun you're holding to my head I'll go A because it gives you double Liverpool defence (?) and 3 of their assets for a million less...

        I see people picking ward and iverson but iverson isn’t showing up in the squad list for me?

            Also because it’s iversen a horse! Is that what you were getting at!?

          buying a new computer/phone will fix that!

                Well I’m going for the Leicester double up, what could possibly go wrong!

                Don’t really need the .5 but it can stay Itb

        Hi Tom

        How do you rate this Threemium draft?:

        Sanchez (Ward)

        Jonny / TAA / Gabriel / Cancelo / Veltman

        Salah / Son / Bailey (Andreas / Cafu)

        Kane / Jesus (Greenwood)

        Transfer Kane>Haaland or Son>KdB GW2

          Gabriel gets booked a lot. I would consider moving to Walker or Zinchenko.

        Salah has 60% ownership but is in just about every team on FFS ... the group think in this one is strong 😉

        Thoughts ??
        Sanchez
        Walker, TAA, James , Doherty or Gabriel.

          I think I am but it’s just that first game!

          Kane to Haaland GW 2 is an option but risky..
