With Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) approaching, 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 which players to target and captain, differentials, injury doubts 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.

    For folks that can hold off the Watkins transfer until closer to the deadline.

      urgh, I just hate this but that's how it is. Another way for those who have nothing to do but surf the net all day to get an advantage over those who work, spend time with family and decide to switch off

      This is just annoying. Would rather not know and make the decision today.

  2. thom830g

    Son + Archer -> Alvarez + Mbuemo for free?

    1. Muller Reus Corner
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      Don't think so without looking at rest of team

  3. Prison Mike

    Best move?

    A) Bowen -> Mbuemo

    B) Watkins -> Darwin

    C) Both for -4

    1. ball c
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      Best move is A.
      For you, C is tempting too.

  4. Bishopool
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 days ago

    What would u do with 2 FTs and 0.3m?

    Areola (Turner)
    Saliba Porro Tripp Coufal (Reguilon)
    Salah Diaby Son Eze* (Nakamba*)
    Haaland Alvarez (Pedro)

    a) Eze, Son -> Mbuemo, Saka
    b) Eze, Reguilon -> Mbuemo, Lascelles/Taylor
    c) Eze, Pedro -> Mbuemo, Archer
    d) Eze -> Gordon/JWP/Palmer/Gibbs-White
    e) Eze, Porro -> Mbuemo, Mee/Tsimikas
    f)..?

    1. Bishopool
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      d) means I play Pedro as well.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      C

  5. Bishopool
    • 14 Years

    d) means I play Pedro as well

    So…
    Who’s the better pick for the Xmas fixtures.
    Sterling 3-5-2
    Alvarez 3-4-3

    1. Yordan Letchkov
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 7 days ago

      Was thinking about Sterling as well but just saw that he's on 4YC.

      1. ratski
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 7 days ago

        Interesting, didn’t spot that thanks. Might change my plans

  7. Yordan Letchkov
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 days ago

    2FT / 0itb

    What to do here? Have no idea and tempted to keep Bowen.

    Areola Taylor
    Cash Tsimi Gabriel Guehi Taylor
    Salah Saka Martinelli Bowen Mbuemo
    Haaland Watkins Archer

    I could do:

    A) Bowen/Archer to 4.3MF (Anderson even if injured)/Darwin
    B) Bowen/Archer to McAtee/Isak
    C) Bowen to Sterling
    D) Bowen to Doku
    E) Any random transfer in the defence as for example Guehi to Livramento

    Thanks for your opinions!

  8. SAKA AND EMILE SMITH ROWE
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 7 days ago

    Have Semenyo (AVL) 1st sub, don’t think taking Bowen or Watkins out for a -4 is worth it

  9. Gidi
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 days ago

    thanks for doing this. two questions.

    I have martinelli, son and saka (plus salah/gordon). Wondering if i really need mbuemo for any of these. martinelli seems easiest to lose. Do we really think Mbeumo is essential. i am tempted to roll my transfer.

    in defence have colwil, porro, guehi, tsimikas and livramento- which 3 to play?

  10. Vasshin
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 7 days ago

    Which is better with 1ft
    1. Anderson to Palmer (start bowen and have taylor 1st on bench)
    2. Bowen to Mbuemo (start taylor)

    Thanks

    Hi Tom

    I'm in a bit of a rut as to how I hone my squad ahead of the busy December fixtures. I feel I have a good nucleus but there's defintely room for a canny midfield recruitment, most likely at the expense of Rodrigo especially with the GW18 blank looming.

    Here's my current crop, and I have a spare 1.8m in the bank to squander and one free transfer ahead of Tuesday's fixtures:

    Areola, Sanchez
    Saliba, Digne, Mitchell, Mykolenko, Coufal
    Saka, Salah, Mbuemo, Douglas Luiz, Rodrigo
    Haaland, Watkins, Cunha

    If I showed Rodrigo the door at the time of writing I would have 7.4m to splash out.

    Thanks!
