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.

    Didn't play last year.
    Have watched no football in 12 months.
    No longer a member.

    This took 5 mins(if I decide to play)

    Henderson
    Gabrial Aina Qunsah
    Salah ESR G-White Jota
    Solanke Isak Haalland

    4m Robinson Rogers Johnson

      It looks like it took 5mins too.

        thanks! that's the idea!

          Result!

    Bailey, Kudos, Eze?

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

      Is this a new band name ? 🙂

  3. Lost in fantasy
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Will Pedro be a starter?

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

      Which one?

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

      If Brighton Pedro, yes looks that way, but may have competition develop

    3. Lost in fantasy
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Sorry! Yes, Brighton Pedro

  4. bobicek92
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Is it too risky going with two 4.0 defenders and two 5.5 midfielders?

    What do you think of this?

    Raya 4.0
    Gvardiol Porro Hall (Johnson THB)
    Saka Jota Garnacho CHO (ESR)
    Haaland Isak Solanke

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

      Yeah I would downgrade somewhere. Probably Solanke and/or Raya most obvious areas

    2. Falafel333
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      For saving that amount of money going with a lot of cheap players I think you could do better with the rest (try squeeze in Salah etc)

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

      Got 2x4.5 2x4.0 def and 5.5 and 5.0mids and totally fine with it.
      There are some really decent affordable players and 3/4 are on the bench and get to rotate.

  5. Mirec007
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Deffinitely. What do you think?

    Henderson (Fabianski)
    Porro - Robinson - Quansah (Harwood Bellis, Johnson)
    Saka - Son - Jota - ESR (Winks)
    Haaland - Isak - Solanke

    Triple Spurs is ok?

    1. Mirec007
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      And 0.5€ ITB

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

      Little light in defence for me but good team overall

      1. Mirec007
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Thanks 😉 was thinking about a defensive upgrade, but I'd rather have 0,5 ITB

  6. Snoop Udogie Dogg
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Have to have someone playing on the opening day, go Muniz!

  7. Falafel333
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    What do you guys think?

    Henderson (4.0)
    Saliba, Porro, Gvardiol, Quansah (Barco)
    Eze, Saka, Nkunku, Jota (ESR)
    Haaland, Isak (Joao Pedro)

    1. Cruyff's Eleven
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I would play Pedro over Kwanzi

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

    Fulham attack:

    Which is the best attacker from Fulham please - Muniz or ESR?

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Dunno but I suspect the half mill and not using a valuable forward spot gives ESR the clear advantage?

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

        Cheers David.

  9. PScholes18
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Trying again 🙂

    Which is better for the same price for the first 5-6 rounds?

    A: Eze + Muniz
    B: Jota + Pedro
    C: Andreas + Solanke

    Current team:
    Raya - Fabianski
    Gvardiol - Porro - Quansah - Robinson - Harwood
    Salah - Eze - CHO - Nkunku - Rogers
    Haaland - Isak - Muniz

    1. Falafel333
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      B for me

      1. PScholes18
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Thanks. Jota is really tempting.

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

    People expecting too much from the Spurs attack? Look at the fixtures...

    - Leicester have no forwards and the best defence last season of the three promoted sides. Likely to defend.
    - Everton had one of the best defensive records in the PL.
    - Then it’s Newcastle and Arsenal.

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

      Also six forwards competing for three places.

    2. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I reckon there's over 1 goal in each of the 1st 3 for Spurs.

    3. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      They will score goals, simple as that really

  11. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Why is Jota the pick for most over Diaz? Assuming no Salah..

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Better finisher.

    2. reto1989
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      jota play as a striker

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

      Diaz I think is LW. Jota LW or Central & brittle but explosive.

    4. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Jota matched Diaz's G+A last season despite 1,500 minutes less.
      Better finisher, better underlying stats, and is likely to play up front.

  12. sammiosammio
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    I'm stuck deciding between: A) Son, ESR and Joao Pedro or B) Bruno F, Gordon and 4.5m striker for the bench. Thanks!

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

    TAA + Rogers + 0.5m
    Or
    Gabriel/saliba + nkunku
    ?

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

    Hehe! We've all had spinning revolving doors last few weeks. Few hours til they're replaced by the bog standard cheapo box wood ones that Darwin banged into on the way out so many times last season.

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

    How is this for a Haaland + Salah team?

    Henderson
    Gabriel, Porro, Muniz, Quansah
    Salah, Jota, Murphy
    Haaland, Isak, Havertz
    (Fabianski, Rogers, Johnson, Sangare).

  16. Powers106
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Who to start? Thanks!
    A. Henderson (away Brentford)
    B. Areola (home Villa)

    I’m on B at the moment!

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

      Hammers defence been horrible (though my guess is it will improve when Kilman and others get it together)

  17. Jayjay87
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 3 months ago

    What do you guys think?

    Areola,
    Saliba, Quansah, Porro
    Minteh, MGW, Jota, Saka
    Haaland, Solanke, Isak

    Bench: Fabianski, ESR, Munoz, Robinson

    I like it. Any thoughts?

  18. jayzico

    1. Jayjay87
      • 1 Year

      Are there any in the game besides Gallagher?

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

      Antony

    3. Holmes
      • 12 Years

    4. jayzico
      • 14 Years

      L Paquita - bad spelling. Plays for west Ham

    5. Skalla
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Paqueta prob the best or Jota Silva but think there are better 5.5m mids so need to go there

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

    1) Best 4.0 DEF option?
    2) Best 4.5 MID option?

    1. reto1989
      • 3 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      DEF johnson
      Mid sangare

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

        Cheers!

        I'm afraid of Barco's and Wink's price drop potential. Those seem to be safer options

    2. SamH123
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Def Barco (BHA)

  20. mcraz
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Help please (A) Jota or (B) Gordon
    already have Isak and Salah

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

      Ive gone with Gordon with the same choice if that helps

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

    Think i'm set, any glaring holes?... aside from the lack of Haaland of which I'm well aware of the risks :O (kinda feel i'm alone in no haaland on here, which is quite scary)... Also loving the risk/reward of double ars at the back

    Henderson
    Gvardiol / Gabriel / Saliba
    Salah(c) / Saka / Eze / Gordon
    Isak / Solanke / Wood

    ((4.0) / Nkunku / Barco / Greaves)

    1. PScholes18
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      G2G

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

      G2g also have no Haaland 🙂
