Rate My Team

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

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.

    I keep going round in circles here! What do you think:

    Ward /sanchez(b)

    James/TAA/Cancelo/Digne/Williams(b)

    Salah(c)/Martinelli/Diaz/Rashford/Andreas(b)

    Kane/Jesus/Archer(b)

    I'm undecided over Diaz verus Robertson, going for stronger goalie or just leaving it as it is. Plan to transfer Kane to Haaland for GW2.

    GK: Sanchez / ward
    DEF: TAA Robertson Walker Botman
    MID: Salah Bailey Neto
    FWD: Haaland Jesus Kane

    Got a few ideas of transfers between Botman/Bailey in the first gws.
    Im ok with playing a bit more risky due to an early WC.

    GK - Meslier - Forster
    DEF: Robertson, James, Digne, Ben White, Nico Williams
    Mid: Salah, Son, Saka, Mahrez, Bailey
    Fwd: Jesus, Johnson, Archer
    ...and I'm leaving 0.5pts in the bank

    I'm still debating the makeup of my midfield 8's - might change Saka for Diaz at the last minute.. And I'm like to shift Son for KDB early, perhaps upgrade Bailey for someone like Rashford a downgrade elsewhere after gameweek 3

    but whaddya think? Am I crazy to leave out Cancelo? Should I be taking Rashford or another over Bailey? I'd have to downgrade Johnson, who's a bit of a luxury, but he's guaranteed to play 90m if anyone else goes out, and could be a sleeper pick for the season, I think...

      Rashford is an odd one for me. He looks absolute gash and a shadow of the player he was. I would not go near him over anyone for the next few weeks and judge from there (hat-trick incoming).

    Looking to replace Perisic/Odegaard

    Cash/Bernard Silva
    Zinchenko/Coutinho
    Robertson/Bailey

    Any thoughts or other options?

      Robertson/Bailey. Robbo has been slept on a bit this season, still very good. Bailey looks sharp.

    Hello! RMT:

    Ward
    Walker / TAA / James / Romero
    Salah (c) / Son / Martinelli / Bailey
    Haaland / Jesus

    Romero is there until Doherty is back to fitness.

    G2G? Is Perisic looking ok to start?

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Robbo - Cancelo - Perisic - Trippier
    Salah - Saka - Bailey
    Haaland - Jesus

    Ward - Andreas - Murphy - Plange
