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 your latest drafts, specific players, differentials 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.

    Saka Jota Eze Murphy
    Haaland Isak Solanke
    ****
    Bentley Rogers Konsa Robinson

    Just need Barco this week, and then Robinson and Konsa will be ready to come in.

  4. jack88
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Salah ESR Robinson
    Or
    Saka jota munoz

    1. Rassi
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      The one with Salah if you need him for captaincy.

  5. jayzico
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Solanke, Fulkrug, another and whom?

    1. Hooky
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Is this a band name?

      1. Mirror Man
        • 1 Year
        1 year, 3 months ago

        😆

  6. MIGHTY JOE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Current draft with 0.5 ITB. Any changes as you see or g2g?

    Raya
    Gvardiol Burn Porro
    Eze Saka Gordon Gibbs-White
    Haaland Isak Muniz

    Fabianski Rogers Barco Robinson.

    All feedback much appreciated!

  7. Tellloth
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    To Salah or not to Salah?

    A) Gvardiol, Salah, Eze, Solanke

    or

    B) Quansah, Jota, Kamada, Haaland

    1. jthmt
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      overall A more solid IMO

    2. Ze_Austin
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I've got all players from A and only Jota from B, who'll become Foden in GW2 as my City attacker anyway

  8. Reggie Nainggolan
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Which one better

    A) Henderson, Gabriel
    B) Raya. Munoz

  9. Bubbles1985
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Who to start in goal?
    I have Onana due to Munoz, but is this a coin toss??

    Thanks!

    Onana
    TAA Gvardiol Munoz
    Salah[vc] Eze Oneil Longstaff
    Haaland Isak[c] Wood

    Flek Robinson Winks Har-B

  10. jthmt
    • 3 Years

    turner, (henderson)
    porro, saliba, quansah, burn, (harwood-bellis)
    saka, eze, l.diaz, minteh, (ESR)
    solanke, haaland, isak

    0,5itb any suggestions?

    1. Bubbles1985
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Is Turner nailed?

      I had him in an early draft but have now upgraded to Onana...

      1. Merlin the Wraith
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Turner probably not even nailed to the bench. Go with using that 0.5 up on Pickford/Virginia.

        1. Bubbles1985
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Cheers.

          I have gone for Onana. See my comment above, any advice welcome!

  11. Count Olaf
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Palmer Bruno F Muniz
    or
    Gordon Rogers Haaland
    or
    Murphy ESR Haaland +1.5m

    Rest of the midfield/attack is Saka Jota Eze Isak Solanke

  12. undersarmy
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A) Murphy or B) ESR

    1. Conners
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Start with Murphy then do the switch later if it looks worthwhile. That's what I'm doing anyhow.

    2. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Murphy short term. ESR longer term.

    3. undersarmy

  15. Tmel
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Which one of these would you bench this week? (it's for draft team rather than regular FPL)

    Dias (che)
    Akanji (che)
    Munoz (bre)
    Roberson (ips)

    1. jthmt
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      one from city

  16. marpy016
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    G2G?

    Henderson
    TAA - Gabriel - Myko
    ESR - Saka - Eze - Jota
    Solanke - Isak (c) - Haaland

    Slicker - Robinson - Winks - THB

  17. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Think I'm set, appreciate any thoughts on team below if you can:

    Raya
    Gvardiol / Munoz / Quansah
    Salah / Jota / Rogers / ESR
    Haaland / Solanke / Isak

    Bentley / Robinson / Sangare / Harwood-Bellis

    0.5 ITB for GW 3 Jota & Solanke > Nkunku & Watkins

    1. jthmt
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      just unsure if you can plan for GW3 already

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        more just giving the option to get to watkins easily by keeping the .5 back.

        if things come up or need to change then that's fine too

    2. justmatt
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Nice team.
      Similar to mine but I have Porro, Saka and Nkunku or Munoz, Salah and Rogers.

    3. Tommyboy
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      The fact you will have Rogers, ESR, Munoz and Quansah starting almost every week should tell you everything you need to know about why it's absolutely not feasible to have Haaland AND Salah.

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        I'm not so sure.

        Quansah if plays is a good way into Liverpool defence. if he doesn't, I have Robinson as a back up
        ESR has great fixtures to begin with and if I WC around gamewekk 6 as planned then that will be fine. Similarly with Rogers.

        I think not having both is more of a risk

  18. Taff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Any comments much appreciated on this lot:

    Hendo (Turner)
    Gvardiol, Saliba, Porro (Quansah)(H-B)
    Saka, Jota, Eze, ESR (Sangaré)
    Haaland, Isak, Solanke

    1. FISSH
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Very close to my team.

  19. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Henderson (4.0)
    Gabriel Porro Robinson (Barco Johnson)
    Saka Jota Gordon Eze (Winks)
    Haaland Isak Solanke

    Bench too weak? Would like another 4.5m defender with a strong GW1 fixture (Hall, Quansah) funded by an Eze/Gordon downgrade maybe?

    1. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Or Porro > Munoz

  20. Nespinha
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    QUICKFIRE, A or B

    One benched

    A) Hall, Gordon (Winks)

    B) Gabriel, Minteh (Rogers)

  21. Aaa
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A - Eze, CHO + 4.5

    B - MGW, ESR + Rogers

  22. Catastrophe
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    How does this look please?

    Henderson
    Gvardiol, Gabriel, Hall
    Saka, Jota, Eze, Garnacho
    Haaland, Isak, Solanke

    (Fabianski, Quansah, Harwood-Bellis, Winks)

    - Hoping to cover Salah with Jota
    - Likely move Garnacho to Nkunku for GW2
    - Undecided on:
    Eze + Hall vs. ESR/Minteh + Porro (0.5M ITB)
    Gabriel + Garnacho vs. TAA + ESR/Minteh
    Gabriel + Hall vs. Zinchenko + Porro

    Cheers!

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I really hate Garnacho as a pick tbh even as a one week punt.

      United have just not shown enough and he's not had a full pre-season either. Just go for Nkunku right away if you really want him, but I'd punt on a 5.5m mid instead - Murphy, Kamada, ESR, Minteh

      1. Catastrophe
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Thanks. That would open up the likes of TAA, Porro etc. I just have a very good feeling about Garnacho...

    2. Mirror Man
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Nkunku isn't on Garnacho's level.

      1. Gommy
        • 15 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Bundesliga Player of The Year and Top Goalscorer across 2 consecutive seasons outweighs one overhead bicycle kick for me.

        ...but time will tell.

        1. Mirror Man
          • 1 Year
          1 year, 3 months ago

          It will.

      2. Catastrophe
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Think they are both very good options. If Nkunku nails a spot (as much as reasonable) and stays fit he should be incredible value

      3. Jaws
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Both are rubbish, playing for midtable dross

        1. Gommy
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Calling 6th mid-table is reaching a little.

    3. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Solid 9/10

      No 2 with ESR

      1. Catastrophe
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Thanks. As in, go straight with ESR over Garnacho?

    4. UnluckyXI
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Got 11 of the same so I like it.

      I've got Esr, Rogers and Porro with 2 4.0 def over your Winks, Garnacho and 2 4.5 Def

      1. Catastrophe
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Thanks. Yeah it seems the consensus is Garnacho -> ESR and use the money elsewhere.

  23. Diedhiou See That?
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A or B

    A - Nkuku & Munoz
    B - Eze & Anderson

    Morning

    Your help is needed please

    Who is the best 6.5 - 7 MF for this front 8 for the first few GWs (3 - 4) of the season

    Salah Saka ESR Jota xxxxxxxx

    Any ideas would be welcomed

  25. FISSH

    Good luck everyone.

    Team finally feels right to me.

    Henderson

    1. royals forever

      Solid 9/10

  26. They are eating the dogs
    • 3 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A) Diogo Jota+Haaland+4.5m mid
    B) Salah+Son+4.5m att

    1. UnluckyXI
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I'm on 1. But my last att/mid is Rogers at 5.0 not a 4.5

  27. Big W
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Diaz or Jota?

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Jota for me carries more goal threat but both solid options to start with

  28. RedJive79
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Which one please?
    A) Quansah (have 2 Pool)
    B) Hall (have 2 Toon)
    C) Myko

    1. royals forever

    Flekken
    Livramento Quansah Saliba
    Gordon Garnacho Jota Saka
    Joao Pedro, Haaland, Isak(c)

    Sanchez Gvardiol, Smith Rowe, Harwood-Bellis

    Good to Go?? Please be as critical as you like as i tend to start very badly and play catch up all season!

  30. brettg
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Not much chat about KDB, isn’t he a decent option with bobb / Foden/ grealish doubtful?

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      very under used in teams i'm seeing!
