The next round of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is on the way, with the Gameweek 15 deadline at 11:00 GMT on Saturday.

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, captaincy: 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.

      Close, but clean sheet odds have WHAM just.

    Was planning on RAN & Lewis > TAA & Gabriel this week (2ft).
    Would you do both, just one, or neither and wait for next week?

    Raya
    Lewis RAN Hall
    Mbeumo Salah Palmer Saka Rogers
    Cunha Joao

    Fabianski, Wissa, Colwill, Faes

      Good moves IF Gabriel starts and the Merseyside game isn't called off. ... Wait till morning if i was you and then possibly Timber instead of Gabriel?

  5. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Tom. Hall 1st sub if Gab out or get Kerkez/Gomez for free for Lewis ?

    Also ended up with Amad as 8th attacker to afford Jackson have Bruno also. Which one should I play ?

    Thanks in advance

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      Dare I say it, but it might be a good fixture to start Lewis in. Should start and Palace don't score much.

    This would be amazing for people who didnt spunk their TC on 6 point haaland

    That possible postponement of the Everton Liverpool game has completely spooked me. Have exact money for TAA but have to buy today before he rises so I won't know about any postponement. Gah. If I wait the chance has gone, possibly for a long time.

    1. theplayer
      • 12 Years

      But TAA isn't rising tonight?

      1. Drizzle
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        He definitely is according to live fpl

          -16 and -17 on FPL statistics and fantasy football fix

          Difficult one for the predictors given that TAA is coming back off red flag.

  9. Tonyawesome69

    12 months, 4 days ago

    Everton v Liverpool still on.

    Likely change if Met Office upgrade the amber warning to red

      Surprising.

      At the time of writing, the peak wind speeds predicted tomorrow for Liverpool are slightly higher than those predicted in Plymouth.

    2. F4L
      • 10 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      trent to score twice direct from corners

    3. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      Championship games including Argyle have been called off for fan safety and PL games are likely to follow.

  10. pekson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years

    Hi Tom, wood to Joao Pedro or Evanilson?

  11. Tommy Template
    • 11 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Why would the merseyside derby be off? The two Championship games are off because they are in the risk areas and it involves significant travel for the away side and fans.

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      That's probably a timing thing, announce early so they don't travel.

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      Lot's of Liverpool fans traveling from London and other parts of the world.

    3. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      Also factor in logistics with workers and security

    4. Conners
      • 6 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      And lost revenue is in no way a factor.

  12. Big W
    • 7 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Bench?
    A) Wood
    B) Mbuemo

    1. Bleh
      • 8 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      B

  13. Bleh

    12 months, 4 days ago

    Who to bench?

    A. Rogers - SOU (H)
    B. Cunha - WHU (A)
    C. Semenyo - IPS (A)

    1. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      Tough one. Probably C, although Southampton like to spoil things.

    Sels (fab)
    Gabriel konate konsa (lewis robinson)
    Saka palmer salah rogers (mbeumo)
    Cunha isak pedro

    Which ?

    A) roll ft, start lewis for konate, gw16 mbeumo konate to timber 7.0 mid.
    B) konate to gomez
    C) sels to keleher/verbrugen

  15. Meta12345

    Assuming liverpool game goes on, am I mad captaining watkins ahead of salah?

  16. Amartey Partey
    • 6 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    I think it's all but guaranteed that Salah blanks this weekend and Palmer hauls when everyone but a few captain him.

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      More likely to be the opposite after everyone's too scared to give him the armband

  17. Elideus

    Hello help please. Play two defenders:
    A - Colwill
    B - Hall
    C - Ait-Nouri

  22. DandyDon
    • 7 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    So i finally have transferred in Salah and out Haaland after this weeks captain disaster. Fallen from 80k to 1.5mil persisting with City! Hopefully that gets me some sympathy here with responses!
    I have used my FT's but would you take a hit to fix this dodgy looking defence, if so who is the best to sell and what are the best options?

    (Raya in goals)
    Porro Pinnock Lewis - Ait Nouri Johnson

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years

      Can you reverse it for a -8?

      1. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        12 months, 4 days ago

        haha. i was so positive he'd outscore Salah at Newcastle midweek. Happy to go Salah and Watkins over Haalnad and Bruno this week though...

  24. FC Hakkebøf

    What to do with 2 FT here?

    Current team:

    Raya
    Lewis Hall RAN
    Salah Palmer Mbeumo Rogers
    Haaland Solanke Pedro

    4.0 Colwill Faes Winks

    A) Haaland + Rogers to Isak + Saka
    B) Haaland + Mbeumo to Isak + Saka
    C) Save FT and reaccess
    D) Something else

    1. Super John McGinn-
      • 13 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      B

  25. elvishorde
    • 1 Year
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Would you play Hall or Ait-Nouri? Hall faces Brentford at home while Ait-Nouri..well Wolves

    my other two are Timber and Lewis

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      I'd play Hall all day

    2. Super John McGinn-
      • 13 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      Hall

  26. Pornchef

    Chelsea fans or anyone with any insight know if Madueke is likely to start Vs spurs this weekend. Was taken off fairly early and got top rating last game and full bonus points but Sancho and Neto could easily start

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 6 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      Not in scouts predicted lineup

      “With Noni, I have personal relation in terms of he can do much more. He can do much more. The moment he starts to score or assist and is happy, he starts to drop a little bit and the reason why he was not playing [against Aston Villa] is because I do not like the way he trained.

      “He has to understand that he has to train every day good. He has to be ambitious. If he scored one tonight, he has to go for the second one and the third one. He has to be ambitious. He has to give more assists.

      “But overall, he is doing great, he is doing fantastic. He is doing even better in terms of numbers – assists and goals. Noni has to understand he has to work more because he can be much, much, much better.” – Enzo Maresca on Noni Madueke

      1. Pornchef
        • 1 Year
        12 months, 4 days ago

        Thanks I really want to start him over Mbeumo against that Spurs defence but it's definitely a risk he'll start

  27. -GK22-
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Start Sanchez for 2 or fab for 2?

  28. Kane Train
    • 10 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Please help . Which option?

    A) Haaland > Watkins
    B) Save FT, then do Haaland & Milenkovic > Watkins & TAA next week
    C) Save FT

    Raya
    RAN / Milenkovic / Greaves
    Salah / Palmer / Saka / Rogers
    Larsen / Haaland / J.Pedro

    1. Super John McGinn-
      • 13 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      B

  29. Sprinterdude
    • 4 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Good evening, I'm really sorry everyone but I finally transferred out Haaland and bought in Salah last night so you can expect Haaland to start hauling and Salah to drop off

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      or Pool game to be called off for fans safety given that it's schedule to be played in the worst of the storm (70mph winds according to the Met Office)

  30. Ribus
    • 12 Years

    Play:
    A) Mbeumo (NEW)
    B) Strand-Larsen (whu)
