The next round of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is fast approaching, with the Gameweek 9 deadline just hours away.

If you’re after some last-minute assistance, five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, will be answering some of your questions over the next hour.

Team selection, transfers, triple captain: whatever’s on your mind, ask away.

Tom will 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, he 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.

    The last week kudus goal why the assist was not given to bowen?

    1. Studs Up
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Not the intended target was the verdict...deflected off VdV

      1. Zenith UK
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Which is absolute horse shite. Kudus even had to check his run so still reached the “intended target” as per rules

    Best free hit drafts?

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

    Better option for 3 GW :
    A) Bernardo
    B) Doku

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

      B) Savio*

  6. RedJive79

    A) Johnson
    B) Foden

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Damn I already transferred in Son. How long is he out for?

      1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Might play

        1. RamaJama
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          «Unlikely»

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

      Why replace with good fixtures?

    4. RedJive79
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      "Sonny's still not right, still not feeling 100%. He won't train today, so he's unlikely for this weekend and we'll see after that."

    5. RedJive79
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Doesn't sound like he'll play to me.

  7. Randaxus
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    I think Letstalkfpl Andy has lost his mind, he just said Chelsea is an "ok not terrible fixture for man united" I don't know what he is smoking be it must be good, I predict Chelsea will win 5-0.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Both are meh, especially defensively

      1. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        I think Chelsea are one of the best attacking teams in Europe, they went to Anfield and went head to head with Liverpool who I think are one of the best teams in europe, I think they have real quality and maybe the best player in the world with Cole Palmer.

        1. Hairy Potter
          • 10 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          That's some hyperbole, but fair play for voicing your opinion.

        2. Mayor of Flair
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Think Lavia has the potential to be the best DM this side of the galaxy

      2. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        meanwhile Man United have drawn 3 games in the europa league lol, they can't even win against teams from farmers leauges.

        1. Mayor of Flair
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          What's a leauge?

    2. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Chelsea have 0 wins and 6 league goals at Old Trafford in the last 10 years, it's a tough fixture for them despite the "banter"

    3. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Chelsea haven't won at OT since May 2013

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      It should be a close game if it’s at Old Trafford. Maybe he meant Chelsea aren’t great defensively?

      1. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        He said it was a ok fixture in general.

    5. Dammit_182
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I think on black box as pointed out Chelsea were near the bottom for expected goals conceded. United have been keeping clean sheets so I guess a 0-5 Chelsea win might be a bit far fetched. Chelsea seem to be a bit like spurs in having a great attack and relatively poor defence.

    6. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Both of you biased

    7. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$

      You are listening to him, so have you lost your mind too?

  10. balint84

    Maddison or Kulusevski?

    1. Mayor of Flair
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Kulu short term

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Maddison set & forget

      1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
        • 5 Years

        Forget about FPL points?

    Cheers

    1. Mayor of Flair
      • 11 Years

      B

  12. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Is Cunha worth the extra mil over Larsen ?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      He is on pens, but Larsen seem to be the actual striker. Cunha seem to play supporting striker/no10.

    2. Mayor of Flair
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Wolves are rubbish

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

      Both worth sod all, so I guess the answer is no

    4. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Overpriced POO

  13. bruuuno
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Joao Pedro > Jimenez -4?

    Have Son so wont have full team otherwise

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Yes

  14. Mayor of Flair
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Start:

    A. Konsa (BOU)
    B. Davis (Leif) (BRE)
    C. Delap (BRE)

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      A

      1. Mayor of Flair
        • 11 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Thanks a thousand

  15. The Red Devil
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Son to foden for a hit seems too much right? Just play Semenyo off the bench?

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Probably hold as its doesn't sound like a big issue and an eye on Son (c) in GW11

      1. The Red Devil
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Yeah & if he's out next week, can do a move for Salah even if for a hit?

    2. Fuddled FC
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I'm debating that myself..
      If there's a good chance he might be out next week also I think it might be worth a hit

      1. The Red Devil
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        But the issue is you'll want to sell foden soon as well

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

      Play Semenyo yeah... Villa struggling to keep a CS in PL matches.

  16. have you seen cyan
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Justice served on the son/Saka scoundrels

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Unless

      1. Hairy Potter
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Unless they get a leak that he's in fact fine to play...

        1. have you seen cyan
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Lol. Son 4 goals inbound

        2. chocolove
          • 15 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          No chance. "Wont train this week"

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Not a good follow up week for Son owners lost the assist then lost him

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        That's life

  17. Tinfoil Deathstar
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    £0.2 ITB and 3 FT's. Tempted by Palmer, but think I'll roll FT given only route is Salah who is probably best captain next week.

    Good to go? Could play Konsa over Gabriel/Trent, but feels wrong benching premium defenders.

    Flekken
    Trent - Gabriel - Lewis
    Salah - Mbeumo (vc) - Eze - Rogers
    Haaland (TC) - DCL - Wood

    Bench: Verbruggen; Minteh, Konsa, Bednarek

    1. Mayor of Flair
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I'd nearly start Konsa over Eze

      1. Tinfoil Deathstar
        • 5 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Nah, think Eze will reward the patience this week.

        1. Mayor of Flair
          • 11 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          You've got some serious patience!

  18. DagheMunegu
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 2 months ago

    Am I mad to prefer Salah over Palmer ?

    1. Tinfoil Deathstar
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      No. I think Salah scores more points over next 4. Would want Palmer from GW12 though.

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I chose to bring Salah in over Palmer, I think people are being short-sighted regarding Palmer's better fixture this week

    3. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I prefer Palmer this week (even as an NUFC fan), but Salah for the foreseeable

  19. Tonyawesome69

    Bukayo Saka, Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber not in training today ahead of Sunday's game against Liverpool

    https://x.com/SkySportsNews/status/1849770361476264085?t=HOtumHb0BnaP9XMnsouR2w&s=19

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      That’s Saka out then. I wonder how serious it is?

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      Cheers. That's him not playing Sunday then

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

      Worth noting reporters get access for the first 15 mins of the training session and the game is on Sunday

  20. Dammit_182

    I guess this is a popular question but….

    1) saka to palmer

    2) saka & Saliba to Salah & Collins

    (Defence currently Gabriel, ait nuri & tarkowski)

          Thankyou mate

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

      AC. Good chance both B and C concede but RAN's attacking potential is far higher

      1. 1912 F.A Cup Winners
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Cheers mate, A is locked and B and C are a toss up for exactly the reasons you state could go either way this decision

        1. TheBiffas
          • 5 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          Clean sheets are rare this season. I think you have to prioritize attacking threat

        • 8 Years
        1 year, 2 months ago

        Thankyou mate, currently have A and B starting, RAN’s attacking potential is making me give the decision between B and C an bit more consideration

        1. nico05
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 2 months ago

          I know what you mean just think A & B are the more solid picks overall personally

    Would you switch Saliba to Gvardiol and bench Gab or roll FTs?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I'd make that switch

    2. Gunners in Haaland
      • 6 Years

      Saliba to Gvardiol and bench Gabriel

    3. nico05

      I would

    4. XX SMICER XX

      Yes make the move

    5. Boz

      Thanks both

    6. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 2 months ago

      I would do the transfer, however, depends on the benefit of holding the FT i.e. future plans

          Cheers, would you hold Saka although he isn't gonna play? Just seems a lot of £ not playing

            I’m holding him but I had other fires to put out, what about Saka to Foden this week for a bit of fun and then Foden and Havertz to Salah and Raul for the hit next week when Salah and raul have decent home games??

              Not a bad shout ta all that mate, always the worry he doesn't start but could be worth a go

                  Yeahh I think it may be the best short term switch though. Cheers mate

    Who is the best Jota replacement short term (1-3 weeks - I have a WC ready to play!)

    A. B Johnson
    B. Rashford
    C. Kulu
    D. Bowen
    E. McNeil
    F. Bruno
    G. Semenyo (bench option, bank transfer)
    H. Diaz

    £8.6m ITB so priced out of Palmer

      A - Maddison is not a bad shout either

        Thanks, Spurs do feel like the team to target.
        I am tempted by Bowen however West Ham mixed form worries me

    Who scores more this week?

    A. Salah
    B. Foden

      A

    2. TheBiffas

      I fancy Salah to run riot against Arsenal's weakened defence, especially Zinchenko at LB.

      Salah by 2pts to 1

    Does Konsa start vs BOU?

      I think so, seems to be fit again.

    Garnacho or Mcneil on WC?

    It would mean downgrading THB(4.0m) to Taylor (3.9m) as my last bench option.
