GW17 Chip Poll

Rate My Team

30 December 2022 175 comments

With Gameweek 18 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) nearing, five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman is here to help with your pre-deadline dilemmas for the next hour.

Whether it’s questions on Reece James (£5.8m) replacements, differentials or anything in between, Scout’s Deputy Editor will tackle whatever’s thrown at him.

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

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.

SIGN UP HERE FOR ALL THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO WIN AT FPL!

What are people expecting from Brighton v Arsenal? It's looking like I'll have to play White if Dalot is still unavailable but I'm expecting it'll be a tough game and that Brighton will score. 11 goals in their last 4 and they tend to play well against the top sides. Thinking of chancing playing Cash instead

  I bought In Robertson as I think Liverpool should batter Lei, I think Brighton will score so in the same thinking boat..

  More chance of an attacking return from Cash, but slimmer chance of a CS.
  
  I think I'd play White.

  Most likely I do think Brighton will nab 1, but I'd still give White a much higher CS % than Cash (maybe sth like 30% / 15%). Think Villa will concede 2+ so you'll really need an attacking return. I would go with White

  Probably B. I'm more tempted by Ream, than Azpi (as a GW19 punt)

I did the restart with 1.2m ITB. James replacements:

A. Robbo (Tsimi worries me, can't afford Trent)
B. Botman
C. VVD (more ITB no rotation risk)
D. Cucurella (rotation risk)

Current Squad:

Ederson
Trips - White - *James*
Rashford - KDB - Almiron - Salah - Martinelli
Haaland - Nketiah

Who to bench out of the following:

a) Foden
b) Andreas
c) Nunez
d) Rashford
e) Odegaard

Andreas underlyings and fixture is causing a headache.

Is Adams -> Mitrovic worth a hit, particularly if that implies moving Andreas Pereira to the bench?
