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.

    Henderson and Anderson or swap Anderson to which 4.5m defender, already have Robinson.

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

      Hendo and Hall

  5. Oz lotto
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Approaching deadline and the fingers are shaking!!!!

    Please assist with a brief spiel why if you can be bothered...

    A) Salah, Jota and a 5.0
    B) Saka, Gordon and Diogo
    C) Salah, Gordon and 5.0

    Plz note that the other 5.0 can't be Rogers as he is in already, as is ESR at 5.5

    I think I'm bound to Saka and just hold my breath...?

  6. Sprunty

    Have gone from not having a team without Haaland, to making a team with no Haaland, to back to a team with Haaland in the last 30 minutes. Why do I play this game.

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      to get Haaland

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

      Get Haaland

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

      To give yourself a short term twitch

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

      What made you go back to Haaland? Currently rocking without him

  7. Count of Monte Hristo

    *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?

    1. El_Matador
      • 14 Years

      You entering into private or public?

    2. Merlin the Wraith
      • 9 Years

      If you know the administrator of your work league contact him & confirm the code?

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

      Are you maybe confusing something like ‘0’ and ‘O’, or lower case ‘l’ with upper case ‘I’

      Admire the ballsyness of going without Salah and Haaland!

      1. Maraudingmane
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        +1 on that comment and G2G. Go well

  9. amsemp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Pick one for GW1?

    1) ESR - MUN (A)
    2) Brereton Diaz - NEW (A)

    1. Oz lotto
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      1 easily for 2 reasons.
      Fulham aren;t new boys and Newcastle are better at home than united

    2. Deulofail
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      1

    3. Maraudingmane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      yeah 1

  10. tmstrand

    Bench one

    Eze Jota Murphy Saka ESR
    Muniz Haaland Isak

    1. Conners

      ESR

    2. Maraudingmane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

  11. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    1.5itb, must be doing something wrong right? Any gaping holes or g2g?

    Henderson, Valdi
    Gabriel, Porro, Robinson, Hall, Barco
    Saka, Jota, Eze, ESR, Winks
    Haaland, Isak, Solanke

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

      Trying upgrading Winks

    2. Maraudingmane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Personally I would downgrade one of Robinson/Hall and upgrade Winks to 7 or 7.5 such as Gordon or if brave someone like Rashford or other punt you want

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

    Im thinking a double up in Liverpool defence is a good shout to start the season

    IPS, BRE, mun, NFO, BOU, WOL

    Where as an Arsenal Defence have

    WOL, avl, BHA, tot, mci, LCI

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

      Could easily downgrade Trent to an Arsenal Defender in GW5/6 too

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

      Fair reasoning

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

      Arsenal is a settled defence.
      Liverpool with new manager and not the best CB pairings.

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

    Think I am finally set? GTG?
    Raya
    TAA Porro Hall
    Saka Jota MGW Murphy
    Haaland Isak Solanke
    Bentley RobinsonWinks Johnson

  14. Besaid_Auroch
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A) Trent and Solanke
    B) Porro and Watkins

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

      A

    2. Maraudingmane
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      100% A

  15. The Wizard of Ozil
    • 15 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Keep coming back to this

    Henderson (Turner)
    TAA - Porro - Gvardial (Barco,Faes)
    Salah(C) - Nkunku - ESR - Garnacho (Winks)
    Isak - Haaland - Wood

    is it worth downgrading at the back for Solanke/Bruno

    A) TAA,Porro,Garnacho & Wood
    B) Quansah, Robinson, Bruno & Solanke

    1. The Wizard of Ozil
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      or Keep Porro and get Jota instead of Bruno

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

    Sels
    Pedro. Guehi. Quansah.
    Saka. Son. Eze. Diaz,
    Haaland. Isak. Pedro.

    Turner. Rogers. Pau Johnson.

    What sayith thee?

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

    Best city def besides Gvardiol?
    to
    upgrade Nkunku to Jota or Gordon?

    Thanks

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

      Upgrade to Diaz. But have a capable bench for the inevitables.

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

        Thanks. Would you do this to upgrade Nkunku to Jota or Gordon?

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

    I think Nkunku is really going to rip it at Chelsea and could be the FPL bargain of the season.

    Means ripping up my draft too, otherwise benching an expensive 6.0m player

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

      Any of Nkuku, ESR, Rogers, Solanke, Havertz and many more can make a embarrassing mockery of their price. That’s why I think it’s important to be flexible and not get locked in. I think teams without Salah/Haaland or even both can do much better than those with them.

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

      I've been thinking that all summer as well and then seeing 3 or 4 predicted line ups today they all don't have him in there... So I've now moved him out for Eze but it just feels wrong.

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

        It is wrong. You will want Nkunku for GW2 and Eze's fixture this week is BRE (a)

  19. SchluppsIDidItAgain
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Entering full panic mode.

    Which is better:

    A - Saliba, Nkunku, Sangare (Sangare perma bench)
    B - TAA, Rogers, Enzo (rotating the 2x 5m mids)

    Pls ignore the fact you prob hate Enzo as a pick

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

      I really hate Enzo as a pick.

      1. SchluppsIDidItAgain
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        What about as a person?

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

          even worse

  20. Sam (Team Sam)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    A) Trent and Rogers (rotating with ESR)

    B) Quansah and Eze (bench ESR)

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

    Raya
    Saliba | Hall | Quansah
    Saka | Bruno | Jota | Murphy
    Haaland | Isak | Solanke

    4m | Myko | Winks | THB

    Good to go?

    1. swervinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yes

      1. Moxon
        • 11 Years

        Cheers - good luck

  22. Sun God Nika
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Any Salah + Haalanders players about?
    Seem to be in the minority 🙁

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

      Most - Haaland + Jota
      Some - Haaland + Salah
      Few - Salah only

    2. WVA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Yep here, going cheap in defence to start with.

      Hendo
      Hall Quansah VdV
      Salah Saka MGW ESR
      Haaland Isak Solanke

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years

        Nice mine is

        Pope

  23. John Colby (C)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Mateta

    Surely with his form he starts this weekend and is being so overlooked as an FPL option? Edouard has been poor pre season.

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

      I want to believe - but I've just chucked him out for Havertz for now.

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

    How does this look?

    Henderson
    Gvardiol, Gabriel, Porro
    Saka, Jota, Eze, ESR
    Haaland, Isak, Solanke

    (Fabianski, Quansah, Johnson, Winks)

    Torn on the back 4:

    A) Henderson, Gabriel, Gvardiol, Porro
    B) Henderson, TAA, Gvardiol, 4.5
    C) Henderson, TAA, Gabriel, 4.5
    D) Onana, TAA, Porro, 4.5

    Cheers!

  25. Stechrisolfc21

    1 year, 3 months ago

    A) Muniz & Bailey
    B) Solanke & Rogers

    A or B in below team

      Similar to me - I worry 2 x Palace too much. Thinking about changing Hendo. Rest is GTG

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

        3rd best defence in the prem since Glasner arrived

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

          I have no idea on 4.5 keeper so gone with the best defence

  27. HAMMERTIME107
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Final decision! Please A or B?

    A - Raya, Quansah, Son, Havertz
    B - Areola, Saliba, Saka, Solanke

    I’m on A as I like to go slightly differential but worried B will haunt me!?
