With Gameweek 6 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 transfers, differentials, bench order or anything in between, Scout’s Deputy Editor will tackle whatever’s thrown at him.

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.

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.

    Best 3 to start from Estupinan, Chilwell, Gusto, Botman and Saliba for GW6?! Bit of a dilemma but surely Villa will score vs Chels? And potentially Chilwell benched again

      Estu Gusto Botman

      There’s a whole article on this

    Not sure what to do here atm...problem is that I like games from whole team for this gw. Have 2 ft can at least use one but for who? Any ideas?

    Onana
    Gvardiol Gusto Estupian
    Rashford Saka Foden Marc
    Haaland(C) Wissa Watkins

    Hennessy Gabriel Stzoboszalai Udogie

    0.6m itb, 2ft

    Hi Tom,
    Reckon chilwell to trippier is worth a -4 (already put mbeumo in for free)?

    Team is
    Pickford
    Chilwell Schar Dias
    Mbeumo Foden saka rash sterling
    Haaland Watkins

    Thanks a lot

    1. Robe Wan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I wouldn’t but I’m not Tom

    2. Charlie Price
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Go for it. Trippier will outscore Chilwell in the long term this season by more than 4 points.

    3. Household Waste
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Yep. Its quite a few weeks of high ceilings for Trippier

  7. Robe Wan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Hi Tom, thanks for this mate. I have two FTS and unsure of plan. Is Watkins to Alvarez the priority? Or moving on chilly to botman? Also would like to slide Maddison in somehow and maybe salah and not convinced by saliba either.

    Thanks! (That’s about five questions. Lol)

    Leno turner

    Chilly saliba Estu (kabore baldock)

    Rash. Saka foden mbuemo sterling

    Watkins Haaland (archer)

  8. ITS AMAD WORLD

    2 years, 2 months ago

    I had a dream that Rashford scored a hattrick against Burnley but he also got sent off. Should I get Rashford in for Son?

    1. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Take the hatty mate

    2. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No

  9. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Had 2fts

    Could have done

    Henry➡️Botman and brought in Mbeumo

    Instead switched to 343 with Botman in and Alvarez for a hit.

    Gonna come back to haunt me ain't it???

  10. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Wildcard
    Sanchez Aerola
    Estu Botman Kabore Saliba Cash
    Saka Salah Bruno Jwp Mbueno
    Alvarez Haaland Archer

    Tear it apart.

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez a really poor choice with Chelsea's upcoming fixture swing. Don't like the Bruno pick either

      1. Rojo's Modern Life
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        This.. Bruno is a clanger in this form

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Looks good. I'd want some Villa attack in there soon though

    3. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Sanchez > Flekken
      Bruno > Rashford

    4. Don Van Vliet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Mbueno? Really?

  11. S6
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hi Tom

    On wildcard, but cant decide om last def

    Espu og Gabriel

    Gabriel seems to be back and solid starter. Gunners have decent schedule coming. Espu is a safe pick, but not differential

    Flekken - Areola
    Botman-tripper-gusto-andersen- estu/gab
    Saka-salah-mbeumo-JWP-gross
    Haaland-alvarez-Eduard

    1. Prison Mike
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Cash better than both imo

    2. S6
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Can see Gross needs replament now.
      Have Diaby on my mind

  12. Prison Mike
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Estu or Udogie on wildcard?

    1. Oasthouse FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      I went Udogie on mine

      1. Prison Mike
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Better long term fixtures

  13. Philosopher's Stones
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Best Martinelli replacement?

    *Have Saka, Bruno, Maddison, Sterling

    1. camarozz
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Mbeumo or switch to 343 with Alvarez etc (like I did)

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 2 months ago

        Already have Alvarez too 😀

  14. FootballRookie
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on this please to get Botman in...

    A) Saliba to Botman
    B) Estu to Botman
    C) Udogie to Botman
    D) Leave it be and play the original 3

    1. Bumbaclot
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Leave

  15. Thomas Docherty
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hi Tom
    If the rest of the Team is fine, would a 4 point Hit to go:

    Chilwell, Ake, Jackson to Botman, Schar, Alvarez

    be reasonable if I had three Man City players?

    1. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Double new defence is overkill

  16. bigmacs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Who to bench?
    Fleckken
    Dias, Estu, Botman, Gusto
    Maddy, Son, Saka, Mbuemo, Foden
    Haaland

    Areola, Jackson, Chilly, Wissa

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Start Wissa, bench Gusto

    2. Frank Henderson
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Wissa x Gusto

  17. mdm
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Son to Rashford or save FT?

  18. Alan The Llama
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Hi Tom,

    What's your favourite crisps?

    Many thanks

    Onana
    Chillwell - Gusto - Estupinan
    Salah - Maddison - Sterling - Mbuemo - Saka
    Haaland - Alvarez

    Turner - Udogie - Baldock - Fodder

    1FT, 0,5itb

    Looking at saving FT this gw and asses Chillwell next gw. And then probably do moves below:

    Chillwell -> Trippier
    Sterling -> Diaby

    Great fixtures for Newcastle and Villa going forward from next gw.

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      No way!

  21. Pringle
    • 12 Years

      Obviously.

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      For free, yes.

  22. Frank Henderson
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    A) 3-5-2 with Sterling
    B) 3-4-3 with Jackson

    Onana
    Akanji Botman Estu
    Rashford Saka Eze Mbeumo
    Julian Haaland

    B: Areola - X - Colwill - Saliba

  24. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    Jackson to Alvarez worth a hit?
    Or wait until next week?

    1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 2 months ago

      Jackson to a non playing fwd is worth an hit

  25. Bumbaclot
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    1. Pilgrim62
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Saka Son Maddison Sterling Mbuemo
    Watkins Haaland

    (Davies/Cash/Udogie/Muniz)

  28. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years

  29. The Wheeler Dealer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 2 months ago

    I know this sounds like a ridiculous question at this stage, but:
    Start
    A) Pickford
    B) Turner

    Fixtures say this should be obvious, but we all know pickford aint keeping CS lol.

  30. drughi
    • 16 Years
