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 players, captaincy, chip strategy 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.

      good luck.

  2. _Greg

    Amad to Mbeumo (c) for free?

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

      Not yet...

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

        obviously not before 11pm ha

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Free transfer yes, captaincy no

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

        I know Tony but it's either Gordon, Son, Jota, Diaz, Havertz or Isak otherwise!

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Son at CF stands out from those options

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

            it's currently on Son but James Planet FPL really put me off earlier.

            1. Tonyawesome69
              • 6 Years
              1 year, 3 months ago

              As a Spurs fans, he's generally quite pessimistic on Spurs

    3. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Yes

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

        nice.

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

    All my headaches start next week... Don't know if that's a blessing or a curse...

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

      Having saved a transfer in week 2, feel like it's going in week 3. Holding transfers is hard!

  4. FC Hakkebøf
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    I have one FT if I wildcard this week, do I then have one or two FT next week?surely only one, right?

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

      I don't know, the rules would suggest two?

      1. FPL Blow-In
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Just one. You carry the transfers you have, you don’t pick up an additional one

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      1FT - the WC/FH essentially uses the 1 free transfer given in that GW.

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Thanks all

  5. No Luck
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Palmer or Watkins for the next 3 or more GWs (short to medium term)?

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

      Palmer fella.

  6. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Will Madueke rise again tonight for the .1 profit or no?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Could be close tonight but likely tomorrow

  7. adstomko
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Which defence would you choose on WC?

    A) Trent - Davis - Nedeljkovic (2 x 4m bench)
    B) Trent - Lewis - Nedeljkovic (2 x 4m bench)
    C) Van Dijk - Lewis - Davis (Dunk - Nedeljkovic)

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

      C with Robbo

  8. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    1. Will Gordon drop in price?

    2. Will Madueke rise in price?

    1. Dr.Acula
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      1. maybe
      2. as above

  9. @FPL__Engineer
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Nkunku to Madueke stupid or no brainer?

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

      Stupid as Madueke is a rotation risk just like Nkunku. You think he'll be scoring hat tricks every week?

      1. @FPL__Engineer
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Underatand the point but who is his rotation risk? Seems a system change this year with Cole central displacing Nkunku where we expected Palmer wing Nk central

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

          Palmer can play AM or RW. Nkunku can play CF AM or LW. Felix can play AM LW RW CF. Neto can play RW or LW. Jackson can play CF or LW. Sancho might be coming in as well and he can play LW or RW.

          There's competition for all places, including RW. Same risk for Madueke as there is for the likes of Jota at Liverpool I reckon.

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

            Exactly. So rotation risks all over the place at Chelsea. The only player I'd be comfortable owning is Palmer.

          2. @FPL__Engineer
            • 5 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            Thanks - Point taken

    2. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      stupid

  10. ☈☾
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Is Jebbison going on loan?

    1. FPLamateur
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Already gone to Watford on loan

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Jeb end

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

        lol

  11. Nightf0x
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Start jota or bruno ?

    1. Dr.Acula
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      no way of fitting both?

    2. FPLamateur
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Surely got to be worse options than that. Think both could get points

      1. Nightf0x
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Isak

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

      Bruno, home fixture

  12. Warby84
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Raya Fabianski
    Trent AA Robertson Robinson (Lewis Faes)
    Salah Saka Palmer Smith-Rowe Rogers
    Wissa Watkins (Pedro)

    Thoughts on my WC could go Robertson/Wissa to Myko/Havertz?

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Do not get Mykolenko.

      Nice team!

      1. Warby84
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        4.4 but I’m sticking

  13. FPL Blow-In
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on this WC draft please?

    Flekken
    Robinson, Konsa, Milenkovic
    Salah, Palmer, ESR, Semenyo, Rogers
    Haaland, Watkins

    Vlad, Pedro, Estupinan, Mazraoui

    Thank you

    1. Dr.Acula
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      ouch the 3 premiums leave in a chink in the armor huh?

    2. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      - Estupinan seems like a bit of a punt as we don't know how Kadioglu will fit in
      - Mazraoui starts are unclear after IB when Shaw is expected to return

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Thanks folks

    4. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      would rather punt 4.5 Kadıoğlu than Estupinian

  14. Dr.Acula
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Isak captain tickling anyones fancy? hes scored in their last 2 fixtures.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Isak/Newcastle haven't looked great so far this season though. Fine fo own but better captaincy options i.e. premiums

      1. Dr.Acula
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        yeh that fair, problem is i wanna live a lil. hmmm

    2. _Greg
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Gordon was rested and did well in this fixture last season

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

    Raya
    Saliba Porro Guardiol (Andersen, Barco)
    Bruno Eze Salah Jota (Rogers)
    Havertz Muniz Izak

    1. Save
    2. Izak, Bruno -> Palmer, Wood (-4)

    1. FPLamateur
      • 1 Year
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Save but would arguably go Rogers over Muniz

    2. Hanz0
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Save.

      Am in similar spot with working out who to bench from Eze, Rogers and Muniz.

      Do also have Rogers benched currently, but its a tough call!

  16. Wheato182
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Which one chaps?

    A) Raya + TAA + Greaves
    B) Flekken + Robbo + Gabriel

    1. Dr.Acula
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      i like A better

    2. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A

      1. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        I'm going with A, but with Robbo

        - Robbo has looked great and there's 1m not .5 often the case in the past

        - that 1m itb will prove useful quickly if the likes of Rogers/ESR aren't reliable enough and we need to upgrade elsewhere

        1. Wheato182
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 3 months ago

          Interesting, I may do that as well and then upgrade Greaves to a 4.5 and pocket the other 0.5

          1. Ser Davos
            • 10 Years
            1 year, 3 months ago

            I'm sticking with Greaves as a set and forget. That's where the 1.5m in total comes to

    3. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Raya/Robbo/Trent for me

      1. Wheato182
        • 13 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        If only i had the funds.

  17. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Salah vs Man Utd could be a complete gravy train....cappo over Haaland anyone?

    1. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      I’m going Salah

    2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Not over Haaland for me, but still a great option

    3. Dr.Acula
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      man utd fan here. silently hoping for an upset. a guy can dream they say

  19. Jafooli
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Rogers, you better return this GW...need reasons to keep you.

    About 20 would suffice...

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

      Actually, same with you Eze...and Isak, for that matter...

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        I'm doing Isak to Watkins if Isak blanks

    2. Dr.Acula
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      i need bruno to do something

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

    WC pretty much locked. Rip it apart:

    Raya
    Trent - Davis - Nedeljkovic*
    Salah - Palmer - Saka - Jota - Rogers
    Watkins - Havertz
    (Lis - Greaves - Faes - Jebbison)

    *Will upgrade GW7 & downgrade Trent to Virgil

    1. Shaker66
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Good team

    2. Warby84
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Downgrade Jota in order to improve defence (ESR/Semenyo)

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

    Is Vestergaard nailed on?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Looks it. He’s my 4.0 of choice for some home fixtures

  22. Hanz0
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Who would you bench?

    A.) Rogers (Lei A) - plays for better team and has better fixture
    B.) Eze (Che A) - higher xG, on pens, Chelsea conceded 2 vs Wolves

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      A

  23. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    Would you WC to change from this frontline to the new one?

    Team:
    Saka Jota Gordon Nkunku
    Isak Haaland Solanke

    WC:
    Palmer Salah Gordon ESM Minteh
    Haaland Pedro

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      Could also pick up Eze for Gordon

    2. Hanz0
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 3 months ago

      If you didn't WC, how would you line up?

      I'm assuming you would transfer out at least one of Solanke or Nkunku?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 3 months ago

        Would ditch both for sure. Not sure who I can afford though

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

    Neto(GK) to Arsenal is a bit unlucky to the 2.5% owners, lose your main GK and a Arsenal slot in one go

  25. Dunlop
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 3 months ago

    What is your view? Hold a transfer to Gw4 and try and get Saka in?

        Nope, just the original

    Thoughts on this team?

    Raya
    TAA Robinson Konsa
    Palmer Jota Diaz Rogers
    Haaland Watkins Jackson

    4.0 Faes Harwood-Bellis Winks

    Jackson is somewhat of a gamle, but merely temporary place holder for Solanke.

    Diaz can be switched to Gordon/Eze if need be.
