Rate My Team Surgery with five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman

With Double Gameweek 37 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) almost upon us, five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman is here to help with your pre-deadline dilemmas for the next hour.

Whether it’s questions on Marcus Rashford (£7.2m), potential rotation at Manchester City and Brighton and Hove Albion, bench order, or anything in between, Scout’s Deputy Editor will tackle whatever’s thrown at him.

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, Tom 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.

    Hi Tom, bench Toney, sell Trip & Rash for Shaw & Bruno. Or keep Trip, go without Shaw and do Toney & Rash to Martial & Bruno? Thanks

    Leading ML by 25 points right now. Isak to wilson for -4 to block my opponent?

    1. LC1
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Yeah why not

    2. StellaMan
      • 11 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Sounds a sensible move

  11. Dakers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Who scores more?
    A) Wilson (LEI)
    B) Enciso (SOU MCI)

    1. nolard
      • 10 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Wilson, although I like Enciso.
      Both players on form.
      City is tough. Leicester are poor.

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        While I agree with you, City have looked most vulnerable when they make lots of changes. Brighton seem a bit fatigued but if they turn up against a second string’ side, they’re good enough to cause an upset. My worry with Brighton is rotation and tiredness

    2. Rinseboy
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      prefer Wilson

  12. WibblesTeam
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Ederson Kepa
    Estu Shaw Trippier Gabriel Botman
    Bruno Mac Mitoma Odegaard Grealish
    Haaland (c) Kane Jesus

    Playing Bench Boost, 1 FT, 0.7 ITB. Odegaard to Rashford? If not, then what to use the FT on?

  13. StellaMan
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Thoughts on this - have one FT and don't mind a hit

    DeGea (Steele)
    TTA, Stones, Shaw (Guehi, Trippier)
    Salah, Mitoma, Mac, (Willock)
    Holland, Alvarez, Kane

    Like to get Marhez/Gund in but means Stones gets cut

  14. Dušan Citizen
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Wanted to C Bruno to catch some rivals in the mini leagues, but with all those Chelsea defs injuries plus title celebration, I can see Haaland scoring hattrick easily.

    1. Free Hat
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Same. Switched armband back

  15. sulldaddy
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    So Martinelli news changing any predictions or rosters?

    Im probably finally gonna sell, held since week 1, great value. But need players if gonna have dead weight, may as well be as cheap as possible

  16. Stimps
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Who to play?

    A) Isak
    B) Eze

    1. KDB4PREZ

      A

  17. Bobby_Baggio
    • 13 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Afternoon all. 0.2m ITB & 0FT. 70 points behind leader so I know its unlikely.

    Edersen
    TAA - Estupinan - Dalot
    Salah - Rashford - Mitoma - MacAllister - Bruno(TC)
    Haaland - Alvarez

    (Iversen) - Wilson - Trippier - Coufal

    A) Dalot > Varane/Lindelof
    B) Save
    C) Anything else

  20. KDB4PREZ
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    If leading 20 ML by points with Bruno&Isak vs Grealish/marhrez&Wilson for 2nd and 3rd place. So do I..

    A) -4 Isak>Wilson to cover
    B) Hold Isak and hope my pair outscore them

    1. Eyes of Blue
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      B

  21. Vpan
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    I thought having KDB and Grealish in a City double would be ideal but...
    And no United, what should I do?

    A) KDB -> Bruno

    B) KDB + Ode -> Bruno + Mahrez

    C) Ode -> Rashford, keep KDB

    1. Eyes of Blue
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      C

    Best choice for triple captain this week?

    1. Tcheco
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Have fun & choose Bruno

    2. Eyes of Blue
      • 2 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Ideally you’d want someone who, fitness permitting, will definitely play twice. So Bruno could be a tempting pick.

    3. nolard

      haaland

  23. nolard
    • 10 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    Got these doublers, wondering if I should do some changes to them:

    Steele, Mitoma, Mac A
    Dias, KDB, Haaland
    Rashford

    Another City for KDB?
    Another Brighton for Steele/Mitoma?
    Bruno requires moves.

    NB! On a BB.

    1. Deer-in-headlights
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      1 year, 5 months ago

      Not worth a transfer to ship KDB for another city mid as it could be counterproductive.

      1. nolard
        • 10 Years
        1 year, 5 months ago

        thanks!

  24. Deer-in-headlights
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    1 year, 5 months ago

    For the remaining games:
    A. KDB + Bruno (no Rash) (-4)
    B. Rashford + Bruno (no KDB)

    Best combo?
