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.

Kicking off today’s RMT discussion is Evs.

DDG, Gilks
Ward, Terry, N.Taylor, Wisdom, Bruce.
Ramsey, Mata, Fabregas, Sigurdson, Wanyama
Jovetic, Rooney, Costa.

A Chelsea defender is a must for Evs, should he downgrade Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas to Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen and get a 6m Chelsea defender or downgrade Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez to his team mate Aaron Ramsey to give himself 6.5m to spend.

Recently Tottenham’s Ben Davies had been ousted from his team, as again uncertainty with Danny Rose continues. Which is the best route into the Tottenham defence? Stevan Jovetic is a short term punt. Who should he replace him with should he fail to cement a place in Manchester City’s starting XI?

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

    Pantilimon / Myhill

    Terry - Jones - Caulker - Chambers - Van Aanholt

    Fabregas - Ramsey - Mata - Siggy - (Boyd)

              He's definitely nailed in, but despite being a fantastic player I'm not sure he will score well in this system.

              Maybe go with Young for Utd's favourable fixtures?

            @robcfowler not really. I picked Lamela over Eriksen because he is an early differential and may have found a new lease of life under Pochettino. Coutinho seems too lightweight for my liking and is unnecessary given I already have Sturridge.

        its interesting that you have avoided the £8m bracket for midfielders... Im stuck in the coutinho/eriksen/lamela trilemma and you've neatly avoided it - at your peril? I wonder...

            Fabregas - going to be way back in defence passing it forward to Hazard who will pass to Costa. Assisiting the assiter.

              I've left myself 0.5m leeway, so can either upgrade Eriksen, or downgrade Mata (have Rooney), or switch Nasri, if Sterling looks to be essential...

              I feel the 'pool might struggle this year though, so quite happy to cover everyone else and double on Utd to start.

                I like CP, but I feel more secure with home fixtures only, you know?

          My post got lost in the vortex. Reposting.

          Ok so here's the question:

          City is really weak in defense for atleast Round 1.

          I got this defense:
          Foster/Krul
          Jones, O'Shea, W. Brown (Collochini, Yoshida)

          Worth using Krul and Colochini for the first round?

          Because Sunderland facing West Brom and Im planning on rotating the above for atleast GW1-6..

          What do you guys think? Take a chance on Newcastle against City?

          Why would you risk Newcastle at home to the best attacking team in the league? When you have Foster to play.

          2 Sunderland defenders is so overkill, swap Brown for Chester

          RMT please guys and gals

          Begovic (Krul)

          Cahill Debuchy Jones (Ward PvA)

          Eriksen Coutinho Hazard Young (Mutch)

          Rooney Costa (Bojan)

          I feel like I need Ramsey in there, but genuinely believe Coutinho will be a big player this season.
