The Rate My Team Discussion

With so many of you seeking advice on their teams before August 16, we thought it would be 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 Fantasy Premier League RMT contender is Alex Bowers, the winner of the Ultimate Fantasy Premier League Beta version 2013/14.

Krul (Foster)
Shaw – Lovren – Cameron (Davies, N Taylor)
De Jong – Lamela – Mata – Sterling (Sigurdsson)
Rooney – Costa – Austin

Alex is not thrilled about having Gylfi Sigurdsson on the bench for the first Gameweek so he is open to alternative suggestions for his fifth midfield slot. He is adopting a wait-and-see aproach regarding Chelsea midfielders, Arsenal and Manchester City. Is he right to wait?

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

      As an Evertonian don't get barkley, Martinez will be a but cautious post World Cup and anyway his fpl return isn't great.

      Schurrle just back from World Cup, probs won't play and Albrighton injured.

      So, strikers and defence good just re shuffle the mid a bit

        -Dawson/Jones/Cameron all not nailed.

        -Sess blows hot and cold for a weak side.

        -Not sure on the goalkeepers either. I would not want to rely on Krul every week.

    In his usual bullish attitude Donkey United manager Marty McFarty has struck out at the Premier League for the way have have handled the start of this season “To have the first game of the new season whilst I am tripping the light fantastic in a field at Greenman Festival is completely irresponsible”. Risking the wrath of the PL further McFarty continued “to pick my team for the season 4 days before the kick off puts my team at huge risk to injury, transfer and selection news".

    Regardless McFarty has submitted the following team with, any final changes needed by the end of the day. “Im happy with my selection but any assistance whatsoever would be greatly appreciated” said the handsome, intelligent and hilariously funny 32 year old.

    Foster / Krul
    Shaw / Lovren / Wisdom / Clyne / Coloccini
    Mata / Sterling / Ramsey / Davis / Mutch (to be sold after GW1 for De Jong - money is in the bank)
    Bojan / Sturridge / Rooney

    Henderson Mata Ramsey Hazard (Siggy)

    I'm pretty satisfied cause I feel this squad can be rotated to a 3-5-2 or a 4-4-2 if necessary. Do you feel I could improve in any way?

    Speroni Green
    Cahil Evans Clyne Chester Chambers(for first game only)
    Mata Hazard Ramsey Sterling Siggy
    Rooney Austin Bojan

    This basically requires two of Siggy, bojan, austin, chester or chambers(or other 4.5) to play each week.

    Im not keen on the strikeforce obviosuly, but feel that siggy will do a good job, then one of the rest to play either up front or at the back

    Hi everyone, this is my second shot at RMT, think my team is getting a bit better;

    Begovic - (Myhill)
    Evans - Cahill - Ward - (Wisdom,Bruce)
    Ramsey - Fabregas - Eriksen - Mata (El Ahmadi)
    Rooney - Bojan - Costa

    Considering downgrading ward to change Eriksen->Sterling, but with Spurs having marginally better fixtures for the first 6 don't know if i should.

    Thoughts and advice, football gurus?
