With so many of you seeking advice on their teams before August 16, we thought it would prudent to run a daily community article to provide a dedicated focus for “Rate My Team” (RMT) requests.

Each day ahead of the new season, we’ll select one of the Fantasy Football Scout team and post up their own RMT request to open up discussion and encourage others to post their own. We’ll turn the comments over to you to provide a useful place for those seeking advice and highlight some of the key decisions under deliberation.

Please nudge those posting RMTs in other articles to visit this daily RMT article. Also, when posting requests, please remember to be courteous to those who take the time to help out. Equally, if you’re an experienced Fantasy manager with some views on initial line-ups, take time out to dip in and contribute – the Fantasy Football Scout team will be doing their upmost to offer their feedback as the discussion develops throughout the day.

The next up is our fixtures specialist Roscola.

Begovic – (Gilks)
Azpilicueta – Evans – van Aanholt – (Wisdom – Bartley)
Mata – Fabregas – Ramsey – Sterling – Sigurdsson
Rooney – Costa – (Zamora)

Roscola admits his team has a major flaw in that it is potentially benchless. He says though that he’s happy for QPR striker Bobby Zamora never to play, because this is a 3-5-2 that reverts to four at the back for first sub. He believes that there are more points available in the budget bracket in defence than further upfield. Sticking with this basic strategy he is looking for advice to find extra funds to invest in his bench. Downgrading Chelsea’s Cesc Fabregas to Manchester City’s Samir Nasri is one option he is considering.

Feel free to get stuck in with your feedback. We look forward to scanning your RMTs throughout the day on this article.

    Is it too risky to play 4-5-1? Its actually really easy to create a well scoring team, but I'm not sure if its too risky to miss out on all the attacking options.

      It can be if you get the right balance between mid and defence and you have the best forward in the league.

    Debating dropping Pelle for Bojan and upgrading Tadic or Eriksen

      Pelle to Bojan and upgrade Tadic would be a solid move IMO also maybe look at Debuchy rather than Kosc to save .5? I'm a bit unsure on your defence, as you say maybe pick up a 4.0 for say simpson and then upgrade Yoshida

    Almost settled on a team, just some fine tuning left...

    A) Koscielny & Davis
    or
    B) Debuchy & Shelvey/Mutch/Noble

    Koscielny is less of a card risk than Debuchy but Shelvey would alternate nicely with my third striker Bojan...

      Wouldn't be sure about Distin. Everton don't have the easiest start and at 36 he could soon be replaced by Stones, no? There are better options for that 5.5, I think.
