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

The next round of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is on the way, with the Gameweek 11 deadline at 13:30 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.

      Not sure I'd roll - but you are setting yourself up for a tough week the following with that move.

    3. Captain Mal
        8 hours, 9 mins ago

        I would roll, but if you insist on doing it, don't buy Porro.

          Robinson played great in last game. Think he is a season keeper for me.

        1. iFash@FPL
            8 hours, 6 mins ago

            Trippier is usually on the right (vs. Livramento); while Hall is mostly on the left.

                    Nice team
                    Aside from the defence :-/
                    Maybe upgrade that first

                    1. The 12th Man
                      • 11 Years
                      8 hours, 5 mins ago

                      The cheap defence has worked for a number of weeks now. Although Lewis to Dalot is consideration.
                      He rotates nicely with the other 4.

                    8 hours, 7 mins ago

                    Really hate taking hits, but if bruno+solanke score less than watkins+rogers+4 am going to have a horrible gameweek. Might do it.

                      8 hours, 7 mins ago

                      -4 for Spurs and Utd?
                      It's a wild gamble in my opinion, but who knows, you could win the lottery

                      Think defence is ok, not worth putting more money in it this year with hardly no cs.

                      Would save FT, team is gtg

                        8 hours, 3 mins ago

                        That team would be after the -4.

                        1. Captain Mal
                            8 hours ago

                            If you roll, consider playing Delap.

                              thats an option too.

                      Only Dibling on the bench.

                      A) Sell VdV
                      B) Sell Nedeljovic
                      C) Save and let Dibling come in if Palmer is out

                        Have 3fts.

                        Would u do

                        1)Greaves➡️Hall as cover for Palmer of he's out.

                        AND

                        2) Play Fab over Raya

                        Decide on Haaland/Salah swap over IB with 3 fts still.

                        Isak or Cunha for Havertz ?

                          Its a good question, this week Cunha but from 12 it's not clear cut imo. Isak v WH on the Monday night GW12 is an enticing pick & New have a great run coming up.

                            Yeah I might lean to Isak as more likely for bigger returns but I’m not totally convinced.
