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.

    1. Pickford Saliba
    2. Raya Porro

  3. 360_No_Pope
    • 1 Year

    A) Raya, Munoz

    B) Henderson, Saliba

    Seen everyone going B, A’s better no?

    1. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A prefer A…but B is more flexible as you don’t lock funds in the keeper spot and Raya probably isn’t getting more points per million than Hendo

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

      B

  4. MGD

    What you think? Haaland and Salah-draft.

    Henderson
    Gvardiol - Porro - Quansah
    Salah - Gordon - Nkunku - ESR
    Haaland - Isak

    Matthews- Robinson - Barco - FWD-fodder

    1. MGD
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      lol and Eze in midfield as well. 3-5-2

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

      Nkunku would worry me week 1, is there a more guaranteed player you can choose and switch him in if he performs?

    3. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Decent balance to say you've slotted them both in. Quansah the main risk

  5. John78
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A) Henderson + Munoz

    Or

    B) Pope + Munoz

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

      im A, but thinking about Sels

  6. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    My Scrabble defence:
    Konsa
    Quansah
    van Dijk
    Van der Ven
    Van Hecke

    a snip at 24m.

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

      A lot of faith in the Dutch

  7. nico05
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Please advise if you see if anything obvious. Any advice would be greatly welcomed please? 0.5 ITB
    Henderson
    Gabrial Gvardiol Martinez
    Nkunku Eze Rashford Saka
    Solanke Haaland Isak
    (Mykelenko Sangare Barco)

    A. Gvardiol + Nkunku - Walker(or any other nailed city def?) + Gordon/Jota if so which?
    B. Anything else?

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

      I would upgrade Eze or Rashford to Jota with .5 ITB keep the rest

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

    A) Saliba
    B) Porro
    C) Gvardiol

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      That would be my order of preference

  9. SomeoneKnows
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Start ESR or Rogers?

    1. chilli con kone
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Rogers

  10. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Had Eze from GW1 last season.
    Was absolutely usueles...

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Don't say that! Ha ha

    2. CABAYE4
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I’m happy to go against him.

      Sure he’ll have a run at some point but at 7.5 I think there’s some better goal scorers.

      1. nico05
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Who are you on?

        1. CABAYE4
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Between Jota and Gordon (see post below)

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

      Same here. Always played well & gained general praise for assisting the assister.
      Eze under Glasner, a different animal though.

  11. CABAYE4
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A. Gordon & ESR

    B. Jota & Murphy

    I have Isak & Salah and would be starting both picks every game.

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I've gone with B.
      Salah, Jota, Eze, Murphy and ESR.
      Can wild card Gordon in later if it really backfires.

    2. McGurn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Jota & ESR?

  12. Jstap94
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Raya, other 4.5
    Trent, Saliba, Gvardiol, Barco, Konsa
    Nkunku, ESR, Jota, Kudus, Gordon
    Pedro, Haaland, Solanke

    Aiming to build up transfers for fixture swings, hence spreading the money. All thoughts welcome!

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

      If you are spending 5+ on a keeper, backup has to be 4.0m

  13. Mata of opinion
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

     Please let me know your thoughts:

    Henderson (4.0)
    TAA Gvardiol Barco (Robinson THB)
    Salah Son KDB Amad (Rogers)
    Havertz Solanke Isak

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

      Don’t believe KDB will start

      1. Mata of opinion
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Oh really? Any particular reason? Not been keeping an eye on preseason

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

          I've got him in my team. He didn't start the Community Shield game so there's question marks over GW1.

          I'm keeping for now though.

          1. Mata of opinion
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            Yeh same. Will switch to foden once he's up to speed

  14. bmor
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Pretty much done. Last player max 6.5m or under for fist 3 games

    A. MGW
    B. Mitoma
    C. Nikuku
    D. ESR and strengthen bench
    F. Find 0.5 somewhere and get EZE

    1. CABAYE4
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A

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

      C

  15. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Pick a combination-
    Keeper is Henderson

    A- Munoz + nkunku
    B- Saliba + ESR

    1. CABAYE4
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      B

    2. bmor

  17. Pioorek
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A: Jacob Murphy
    B: Smith-Rowe

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

      B for me

    2. bmor
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A

  18. Fuddled FC
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Would you rather have

    a) Pope, Porro, Barco
    b) Hendo, Gabs, Robinson

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

      B

  19. GianniBanani
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    WYT?

    Henderson (Valdimarsson)
    Quansah / Munoz / Hall (Robinson, Mosquera)
    Salah / Saka / Murphy / Minteh (Winks)
    Haaland / Isak / Solanke

    Minteh - Solanke > Eze - Wood/Muniz?

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

      I would keep Solanke

      Minteh - Saka > Bruno/Odegaard - Eze

  20. cutch
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A) Gabriel + Romero
    B) Dalot + Pedro Porro + 0.5
    C) Dalot + Romero + 1.0

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

      B

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

    Any thoughts on the following
    4.0 GK for bench?
    4.0 DEF as fifth choice?
    4.5-5.0-5.5 FWD as an 8th attacker?

    1. Shipstontrev
      • 16 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      The one without Romero

  22. Barnaby Wilde
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Any chance of Carvalho starting for Brentford?

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

      Super sub

  23. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Flekken or Henderson as set and forget 4.5m keeper?

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

      Henderson better defence

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

      There was an article on here that suggested Flekken was the best choice. I am however going Henderson

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

    a) Garnacho + Joao Pedro
    b) Fodder + Solanke (promote 1. ESR or 2. Gvardiol from the bench?)

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

      Both good options imo so hard to call.

      I think having Solanke just edges it as it's safer.

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

        Solanke is the one main risk i'm going without. thanks

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

      B with Gvardiol

  25. The Mighty I
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Quite surprised that I'm not seeing double Arsenal defence in drafts.

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

      Villa Spurs away in first 4

  26. Thanos
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Any Ipswich fans here? How would your team approach their match? Sit back and try to pray for a lucky goal or go there with full fervour?

  27. Bumbaclot
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Hi all, I need help with this last bit:

    A. Trent/saka/solanke

    Or

    B. Gvardiol/salah/wood

    Thanks!!

    Trying to join a work league but it says invalid code. The code is published in a PDF so I would be surprised if it’s incorrect. Anything I’m missing?

  29. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    1. swervinho

    Tight - B I think Trent is too expensive
