Fantasy Football Scout users have submitted an excellent set of polls to help our preparation for Double Gameweek 32.

The questions range from chip strategy to how much we should trust Manchester City and Chelsea with their fixtures.

Not surprisingly, the most requested poll centred around which of the chips is best to play in this expanded round of fixtures.

Forever in Our Shadow, Trippier Hazard, Sebes Gusztav, Nimith Enzo, Ohlsay, Nat Kane Cole and PEP_TALK all wanted to know about this one.

Jimmy Hendrix and de quiney were both keen to challenge the thinking on Free Hitting in Double Gameweek 32, suggesting Blank Gameweek 33 as an alternative option.

We had a poll from Studsy25 who wanted to know the best way of preparing for Double Gameweek 32 for those without the Free Hit or Wildcard chips.

Another hugely popular question concerned the best way to capitalise on Manchester City’s two matches, against Fulham (away) and Cardiff (home).

DMil, BBC_TF, Toblerone52, Fossit, Karsa, LosBlancos, PEP_TALK and Masteryeoda all submitted some great polls on this subject, so we combined them into one.

Given their unpredictable nature in recent times, Scout users want to know what the consensus is on Chelsea, especially their defence.

This poll came in from Beercalona, Tomthewise1, Podorsky, The Beer Baron and Dusan Citizen.

Another popular poll concerns to what extent we even trust the Double Gameweek itself.

Forever in our Shadow, BKrisztian, Leakyman and Pamino all wanted to know how many single Gameweek players would be present in our squads for Double Gameweek 32.

BenjoBD takes that question one step further to identify how many Liverpool players will be present in our Double Gameweek 32 squads.

Of those who have two matches, it does look difficult to cram all of the premium heavy hitters in.

For that reason, Saint & Reevesy, AdAdityan and FFSBullets want to know which of those we are most likely to leave out.

Finally, Diverpool wants to know to what extent Scout users are worried about rotation ahead of the FA Cup semi-finals.

Manchester City, Brighton, Watford and Wolves will be participating in the competition’s last four stages several days after their midweek Double Gameweek 32.

        Looks good mate only suggestion might be to swap de gea for kepa and upgrade duffy?

      Are we all accepting the fact that no matter which manc attacking player we pick they are likely to start 1 bench 1?

        Of course not. Plenty will start both.

            The ones you don't pick probably.

              I'm dead certain it will be the ones I don't pick, to be honest.

    3. Rahulio

      Which 2? Struggling to decide.

      A) Ederson + David Luiz
      B) Kepa + Laporte

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        A

      2. Niho992
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        B. Ederson and Kepa will surely play both games. Laporte will surely play both games. Luiz wont.

          • 11 Years

          Luiz won't or Luiz probably won't? You seem to know both Pep and Sarri quite well.

          1. Niho992
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Yes. Sarri is family friend

              • 11 Years

              And Pep? Someone you do on the side?

                Nah. Laporte is just 10 times better than other City CB and he will rest in fa cup

      Damn I'm enjoying this FH.

      Just made one with Lloris, Sane and Jota as my differentials and its beautiful. Can't wait to decide on the worst one and regret it instantly. Night night

      thoughts?

      1. Niho992
        • 7 Years

        A and not even close.

      2. Ruth_NZ
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        A but find someone better than Milivojevic. If Palace don't get a penalty it's probably 4-5 points and that's it.

      3. Jammyfpl
          6 years, 11 months ago

          A 10000%

        • Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          A

      4. Scratch
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Kane with 1.7% of the captain poll.

        what?!

        1. Niho992
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Im not even considering to have him. Too expensive and i have no intention to C him. So why to have him?

          1. Scratch
            • 16 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            Because he's one of the best players in the game and has a decent record vs Pool? And given the chance of Aguero / Sterling rest he's a great captaincy option.
            Easily the 2nd player in my team this week after Aguero.

            1. Niho992
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              And he is overpriced IMO. Sterling, Aguero,Pogba,Hazard... all more essential than him.

              1. Scratch
                • 16 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                So get all 5.

        2. Red Card Rockets
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Go watch the last three matches of Liv v Spurs on YouTube, there is reason to have him

          1. Niho992
            • 7 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            He missed one penalty last game and scored one. Wow. Bunch of points.

      5. Red Card Rockets
        • 11 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        Bats or Pedro on Free Hit?

        1. thegaffer82
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Pedro would be an awesome pick if I thought he'd play both games. But with Willian & CHO waiting in the wings, it's a bit far fetched to think he will play both.

          So Bats I guess, but I'm not sold on him either

          1. Scratch
            • 16 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            It's not so much being sold on Bats as being sold on how sh!te Huddersfield are 😉

        2. Ruth_NZ
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Pedro. Won't play 180 but will probably get 120. That's enough, given the fixtures (and is probably as much or better than the likes of Jota and Deulofeu will get).

          Batshuayi also a decent pick but Spurs (a) isn't an encouraging opportunity.

        3. Saint Steve-O (@EliteFPL)
          • 11 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Bats

      6. skinner
        • 15 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        You would have to be crazy to not use Triple Captain on Aguero or Sterling in GW32. They are likely to score 30 points

        1. Niho992
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          You have FH?

          1. Ruth_NZ
            • 11 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            I do, and I agree with him (though 30 is optimistic). I'll be playing TC rather than FH this week.

            1. Niho992
              • 7 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              If you have 7-8 DGW players then ok

              1. Ruth_NZ
                • 11 Years
                6 years, 11 months ago

                6. There's only one that I'd like to have and am missing. I like my SGW players. 🙂

        2. thegaffer82
          • 14 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          I'm using mine on Kun [not played the international games,so more chance to start both than Sterling]

          Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to be able to play it in such nice fixtures on a FPL legend. But really wish I had FH instead to be honest.

          FH31 stunk to high heaven. This week will be ok with 8/9 DGWers, next week I'm screwed with only 5 players.

          If I could go back I'd choose FH this week and maybe use my TC on Mane/Salah v's Hudd, or even a Brighton player

      7. Manumana

        Do u think Ashley Young will start both Uniteds game ? Thx

        1. Scratch
          • 16 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          Yes, though Smalling seems the safer option.

        2. Niho992
          • 7 Years
          6 years, 11 months ago

          No. I think Dalot will start one.

          1. thegaffer82
            • 14 Years
            6 years, 11 months ago

            This

            Dalot has actually been really good when called upon

            1. Manumana
              • 9 Years
              6 years, 11 months ago

              Thx a lot

      8. thegaffer82
        • 14 Years
        6 years, 11 months ago

        It's not been a great international break for those of us who chose the FH31, TC32 strategy. The FH was an absolute mare, and could have been even worse had I not lucked out on Mane capt over Salah. Now most of my DF is flagged going into next week.

        ..............Fab
        ...Kola - Shaw* - AWB*
        Pog - Son - Sterling - Mane
        ...Kun[tc] - Jimi - Rash*
        Bench - TAA* - Bennett - Punch
        1FT & .9 ITB

        Do you think I should do Kola > Luiz to up my DGW contingent to 9? Was originally planning on saving a transfer as looks like I'll only have 5 players for BGW33 as things stand?

        A] Kola > Luiz
        B] Save transfer
        C] Something else

        1. Scratch
          • 16 Years

          They're only phantom international-break injuries

                      Luiz if frees up a City attacking slot

                    Doherty ---> Azpi (-4)
                    Jonny ----> Schlupp (-4)

                    Thoughts on these moves lads, Doherty and Jonny likely to play 1 game in GW 32/33
                    Azpi and Schlupp likely to play 3 games.

                    Surely will pay off?

                      If taking hit I'd also consider Tomkins for Schlupp as his position in the team is not 100% nailed. Has competition in every place he can play.

                        Actually scary how similar the FH teams are on the RMT thread

                          6 years, 11 months ago

                          Lukaku will be the ultimate differential

                          1. bigbudgie
                            • 11 Years
                            6 years, 11 months ago

                            you would say that, you have him!
                            We had this conversation right?
                            Is he fit though?

                            1. Amey
                              • 7 Years
                              6 years, 11 months ago

                              He he.
                              He was included in the Belgian camp but sent back home. I read somewhere that he's training alone.
                              So, I'm hopeful he'll be fit. Need him for both my team & United's sake because Rashford seems to be knackered atm

                              1. bigbudgie
                                • 11 Years
                                6 years, 11 months ago

                                Rashfords just had the int break off though

                                1. Amey
                                  • 7 Years
                                  6 years, 11 months ago

                                  Yeah.
                                  Rest/ Injury layoff Could be good for both of them. If both are fit I'd still get Lukaku though, he is in great form so ....

                          Fabianski and TAA -> kepa and schlupp
                          or
                          Fab and Robbo -> kepa and PVA

                          Both for -4 thanks in advance guys

                                Could free up a lot of money just downgrading JWP to a 4.2 if he’s just going to be on the bench

                                  and lowering one of those Chelsea Defenders...Chelski haven't are up and down...no clean sheet vs CAR/BHA the first time around either

                                £1.4m without weaking your XI

                                Could also do AWB -> Montoya for another £0.2m, safe to say your XI will play at least 1 match but leave you with a doubler in case someone gets injured warming up or some such.
