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.

    Is this G2G? Felt a Mitoma + Pedro double up would be too much but still transferred Mitoma in.

    Hello All!

    The games are coming thick and fast, with players getting injured and mass first teamers being benched. With that being said. Who would you bench this week?

    A) Wissa (H v Newcastle)
    B) Cunha (A v West Ham)
    C) Rogers (H v Southampton)
    D) Isak (A v Brentford)
    E) Semenyo (A v Ipswich)

    1. jonnybhoy

      Tough probs C

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      It’s between Rogers and Semenyo for me, can’t decide

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

        Semenyo effectively played full back last time out. Not looking great.

        1. Samsonite
          • 3 Years
          12 months, 4 days ago

          Doubt it’ll be the case in the easier fixtures they have coming up

  4. jonnybhoy
    • 13 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    What to do below? 1FT / £0.8 ITB. Between A and D atm

    Pickford
    Gvordiol Mazraoui Timber
    Saka Palmer Salah Bowen
    J Pedro Cunha Jackson

    Fabanski VDB Rogers Robinson

    A) Gvordiol to TAA
    B) Gvordiol to Virgil
    C) Pickford to Sanchez
    D) Roll

      1. jonnybhoy
        • 13 Years

        Even if it means being priced out of TAA - got exact cash atm

  5. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    1 FT 1m ITB

    Fabianski
    Gabriel Gvardiol RAN
    Salah Palmer Saka Mbeumo Rogers
    Jackson Pedro

    Flekken - Wood Greaves Faes

    Roll this GW, then sort out 2/3 from RAN, Mbeumo, and Wood next GW?

  6. Sprinterdude

    I finally transferred out Haaland and bought in Salah last night so you can expect Haaland to start hauling and Salah to drop off. Every time I get Salah I break him and I mean every single time I bring him in it happens which is why I held off for so long this time

      Or Liverpool game gets called off....

    In 2014 Everton home game was cancelled because of high winds(80mph):

    ^^ "The decision was made less than 45 minutes before kick-off and after both sides had named their line-ups."

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years

      The latest (from an hour ago) Met Office advice is to cancel outdoor events in the amber warning area, which includes Liverpool.

      Around 10 mins in.

    2. Captain Robert Hatch
      • 14 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      What were the winds in mph when Tim Howard scored a goal in 2012?

  8. NejiHyuuga01
    • 8 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Weather or not , the King will get his goal and assist regardless

  9. Egg noodle
    • 15 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    What do we think of AWB? Is he a rotation risk?

    1. Egg noodle
      • 15 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      (seeing that Emerson got rotated on the other side in midweek)

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      Prob not. But not a good cleansheet prospect.

    3. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      I'd give him A Wide Berth

      WHU play a high line and leak goals for fun. Lopetegui could just have one game left

  10. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Raya/Fab
    Porto/Timber/RAN/Lewis/4.0
    Mo/Palmer/Saka/Mbuemo/Rogers
    Cunha/Pedro/Solanke
    .1 ITB. 3 FTs

    Is is time to move on from Dom and Mbuemo and who do you see as alternatives?

  11. FPL Equilibrium
    • 4 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Who would you bench?

    A) Ait Nouri (A v West Ham)
    B) Colwill (A v Spurs)

  12. BBC_TF

    • 15 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Hi Tom

    Is it worth a -4 to get TAA and Semenyo for Mbeumo and Ait Nouri?

    Feels to me like it could

    1. xuwei
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 months, 3 days ago

      Heck no.

  13. GreennRed
    • 14 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    For now the game goes ahead. On the west coast here there's a red alert tonight, expecting >90mph winds. Granted that we're naturally tough but ye'll be grand with 60-70mph winds on the mainland 😉

      You in Mayo? Whereabouts?

      1. GreennRed
        • 14 Years
        12 months, 4 days ago

        Ballyhaunis is home. Galway city tonight. Living in Meath. Breezy enough driving down. Dubs would say it's a hurricane 🙂

        1. Mirror Man
          • 1 Year
          12 months, 4 days ago

          It's not bad here at all. Might get there later but usually weather reports are exaggerated this side.

        2. denial
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          On Mayo/Galway border here. It's fairly blowing.

  14. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Pick one defender to bench

    A - Konsa (not one single CS this season but decent fixture)
    B - RAN (Horrendous defensively, likely to concede at West Ham but may find a lot of space against a poor WHU defence)

    Henderson
    Timber - Gvardiol - RAN
    Salah - Palmer - Saka - Semenyo
    Cunha - Jackson - Pedro

    Valdi - Konsa - Winks - Mosquero

  15. Do I Not Like Orange

    My defence absolutely stinks & is definitely my weak link. Who is the best budget/mid-price oprltion, and who to bin first?

    Robinson RAN Konsa Rico VDB

  16. rokka222
    • 2 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    My front three is Joao Pedro/Chris Wood/Cunha...I have 3.9 ITB...which forward would you move to with 2 FT? Jackson? Havertz? Isak? Keep them?

    1. My name is Maradona
      • 2 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      It's actually not a terrible front three, but Jackson and Isak are good options to think about.

      1. rokka222
        • 2 Years
        12 months, 4 days ago

        I decided to go Wood -> Watkins...and captain Watkins! After reading your post, I decided I ranked them 1. Watkins 2. Jackson 3. Isak in my mind. I save all my transfers for MID/FOR players and just make sure I have starters for DEF/GK because it's impossible to predict anything + no bonus. Thoughts?

        1. My name is Maradona
          • 2 Years
          12 months, 4 days ago

          It's a good way to go.

  17. Meta12345
    • 1 Year
    12 months, 4 days ago

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

    1. Kaneyonero
      • 9 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      My VC just in case

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      Watkins too inconsistent imo

  18. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Who is everyone VC'ing in case the King can't play?

    A - Palmer
    B - Cunha
    C - Saka

    1. Disco Stu
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      C

    2. My name is Maradona
      • 2 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      On the same boat, but C makes the most sense.

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      A

    4. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      A

  19. Game...Blouses
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Mbeumo --> De Bruyne for free?

    Yay or nay?

    1. My name is Maradona
      • 2 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      Easier fixtures for City, so worth the risk. Problem is the rotation, but I'd take potential production over that.

    2. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      Yay.

  20. Gazzpfc
    • 9 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Help

    Play Lewis or Trent -4???

  21. balint84
    • 9 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Isak or Jackson?

  22. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Ugh, I'm going to have to get up at 5:50am to check the weather in Liverpool.

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      God bless your eyesight.

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

      I'm flying from LPL at 7:30 tomorrow so I'll be sure to let you know

  23. My name is Maradona
    • 2 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Worth trying to fit Rogers in the lineup given his favorable matchup at home against Southampton.

    Divided between Georginio, Wissa, and Joao Pedro to bench.

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

      I would its Southampton everyone targeted it last game week for good reason and Chelsea has crazy xg and for 5 away against them with a rotated squad.

      I think people are underestimating what villa might do at home against them after just putting 3 past Brentford I am surprised people aren't targeting the fixture more this week

  24. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    2FT.. 1.1m.... Best move here?

    A. Myko/Mbeumo -> TAA/Semenyo
    B. Myko -> Kerkez
    C. Save FT

    Raya
    Gabriel Lewis Hall
    Salah Palmer Saka Rogers
    Cunha Jackson Pedro

    Muric Mbeumo Greaves Myko

  25. Jack Burton
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Any reason not to get in Gabriel I know he's flagged did Arteta say anything regarding the injury, thanks very much

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      I wouldnt risk it.

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        12 months, 4 days ago

        Cheers mate just checked he's not trained thanks for reply Good luck

    2. Jet5605
      • 11 Years
      12 months, 4 days ago

      I 100% don't trust what comes out of Lego head's mouth and so I wouldn't be buying Gab until he's already started a game and plays at least 60 mins

      1. Jack Burton
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        12 months, 4 days ago

        Yep just checked not risking it one of the liverpool lads I think Thanks

  26. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Call the game off right after Salah scores 🙂

  27. Skogen89
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Play pedro or Rogers?

  28. rokka222
    • 2 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    I know others have posted this. But, why invest anything in GK or DEF this season (I have nobody above 4.8)? I put all my energy, thoughts and resources into the front 8 players. Why invest in unpredictability and no bonus points? Surely they will have to fix the bonus system next season, right?

  29. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Cant remember a match postponed but still played the same GW.
    Seems this would be a simple one to do due to teams location.
    Unless the ladies have the field Sunday

  30. TheGrumpyManager
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    12 months, 4 days ago

    Good ebening managers.

    Bruno + Havertz (-4) -> Isak & Semenyo (or any other 5.5 mid)
