Yet another Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline is almost upon us but Gameweek 24 is almost something of an afterthought, with many of us looking further ahead to the doubles and blanks that litter the landscape.

As is always the case, the comments section of our site is filled with requests for advice on transfer dilemmas, chip strategy and team help. So we’ve asked five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, to answer some of them in the next hour.

He’ll be on hand to firstly 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.

As ever, you can chip in with your own opinions on the raft of RMT requests filtering through – and naturally, feel 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.

    Thoughts on Maddison Antonio to KDB (c) Edouard -4?

    Or rather Salah straight in and/or keep Antonio?

    1. ILOVEBAPS
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Looks decent to me

    2. fish&chips
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Antonio has a decent fixture or could be tired. I wouldn't bother with the trades honestly and cap Jota or cancelo assuming you have them

      I think Antonio starts v Watford, so if it were my team, I'd try and avoid the -4.

      If you don't bring De Bruyne in, who are your other captain options?

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Jota, Cancelo, Bowen - could also punt on Maddison to Mahrez (c) for free.

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I like Jota for captaincy out of that lot, followed by Bowen.

          1. Atimis
            • 9 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Cheers, tough decision to be made. Maddison and Antonio out looked good for me midterm but I'm not confident it won't backfire.

    4. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Getting Edouard in also gives you extra player for DGW26.

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        That is good point as I'm also not convinced by Antonio recently + GW25 looks better for Edouard imo

    5. trick9
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Salah straight in.

    6. Eze Really?

      I don't normally do this so shoot me down please

    Evening all. Quick question for Fanteam. Who scores more - this week only

    A) Trent & Cathcart
    B) Saiss & Wood

  3. RMT Surgery with Tom
  4. Minty1337
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    RMT

    Foster - Sanchez
    Cancelo, Reguilon, Trent, cash, white
    Fernandes, bowen, Jota, martinelli, bernardo
    Ronaldo, Watkins, king.

    2ft.
    Im doing king to edouard.

    Who should I replace Bernardo with? I'll have 6.9m to spend.
    Any other suggestions?

    1. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Keep Bernardo, he will score tomorrow

      1. Minty1337
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        He's jsut been playing so deep though. Hard to watch!

  5. JabariParkersEyelid
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    I am on FH26, do these moves look good? 2 FTs.

    Ramsdale (Steele)
    Alonso TAA Cancelo (Livra Manquillo)
    Bruno Bowen Jota Lucas (Brownhill)
    Toney Ronaldo Antonio

    Alonso to Digne
    Lucas to Gallagher

    Means waiting on Salah until 28 & keeping TC in the bank.

    Thanks.

    1. Yep, Gallagher, Digne, Coutinho and Watkins are all great options this week if you are FHing in 26.

      1. JabariParkersEyelid
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks

  6. Kante Touch This
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Stupidly got Ings in last week instead of Watkins, should I saw him out for Watkins this week or hold onto him? (for a free transfer)

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Do you not have anything else to do? Personally wouldn't use a transfer on that particular move.

  7. OneDennisBergkamp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    i am lost, what is the popular chip strategy if you have all your chips still?

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Popular consensus is TC Salah 26, one FH in 30. Probably BB in 36. Then use your other FH/WC when needed.

    2. Machine_Gunnerz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’m looking to TC Salah for GW26, FH30, FH33, WC34/35, BB36

    3. snow pea in repose
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm thinking TC 26, BB 36, other chips as needed...

    4. Marty McFly
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      My strategy is to load on Arsenal and Liverpool players for dgw26 and TC Salah.

      FH in 27

      use FTs to build for bgw30

      WC31

      FH b/dgw33

      BB36

  8. The Mentaculus
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Have Sterling as Salah placeholder & dont think he starts; got an FT to burn. Would you prefer:
    A. One week punt on Mahrez / Jota
    B. Just get Salah
    C. Get Bruno a week early
    Good bench cover in case of no-show.

  9. Sterling Archer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Seen lots of wild cards without Salah, surely this changes now

    1. AleksaMaster
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Why, what happened?

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Klopp presser, see FFS tweets.
        I thought he wasnt doing one today but he is!

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wont be bringing him this week maybe GW26.

  10. RUUD!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Salah is ready to play!! Music to the ears of those that have benched him all this time. Captain for me!

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Source pls?

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Never mind, found it

  11. ASOUSA12
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    2FT £0.1M
    All chips intact

    Current team:

    Ramsdale Sanchez
    Alonso Rudiger TAA Cancelo Livramento
    Raphinha Jota Son Bowen Gray
    Toney King Ronaldo

    Debating between Ait Nouri or Tierney in for Alonso, but if i go Tierney i'm likely to commit to FH27

    Is the example team FH 27 below much of an upgrade to the other team:

    FH 27 (assuming Burnley double)

    Pope (Double)
    Tarkowski (Double) Cancelo (EVE A)) Dalot (WAT (H))
    KDB (EVE A)) Mahrez (EVE A)) Son (LEE A)) Cornet (Double) Zaha (BUR (H))
    Toney (NEW (H)) Ronaldo (WAT (H))

    Gunn (SOU (A)) Broja (NOR (H)) Livramento (NOR (H)) Williams (SOU A))

    Non FH27 team

    Sanchez (AVL H)
    Ait Nouri (WHU (A)) Cancelo (EVE A)) Livramento (NOR (H))
    Raphinha (TOT (H)) Son (LEE A)) Martinelli (Blank) Maddison (BUR (A))
    Weghorst (Double) King (MUN (A)) Toney (NEW (H))

    Ramsdale (Blank) Rudiger (Blank) TAA (Blank) Salah (Blank)

    Cheers

  12. ILOVEBAPS
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    How do these moves look? Or neither good?

    Raphinha & Antonio >
    A. Bruno & Broja -4
    B. Son & Edouard -4

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Broja is fit?

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Not sure… have not heard anything.
        He’s the right price though 😉

    2. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Prefer Raphinha and Antonio

    3. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Wouldn’t be selling either of those for a hit.

      1. ILOVEBAPS
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Damn. Well tell me what you guys really think?

        1. Atimis
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          None is ideal, for this week only B

  13. A19
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    WC draft:

    Main question is, do I bring in Salah now instead of KDB? Would also mean that I don't have a Utd attacker for 25.
    The current plan is KDB (c) in 24, Bruno (c) in 25, and Salah (TC) in 26

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Digne
    KdB Foden Bowen Martinelli
    Kane Edouard

    Sanchez Broja Ramsey Dalot

    1. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'd captain KDB this week, and bring Salah back next week.

      1. A19
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Thanks! And you would ignore Man Utd assets?

    2. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I'm keeping Ron for the double. Then bringing Salah back for 26.

  14. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Save the FT or Foden to Salah (c) ?

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Dawson
    Bowen Foden Martinelli Jota Gray
    Ronaldo King

    DDG Dennis Livramento Alonso

  15. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Am I still ok to get KDB (c) this week over salah? Plan was to wait til DGW26 to get salah!!!?!?!!

    1. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would stick.

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Cool thanks

  16. BenW241
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    RMT

    DDG
    Cancelo, Dawson, TAA,
    Bowen, Jota (C), Foden (VC), Salah, Gray
    Antonio, King

    Bench: Foster, Dennis Livra, Alonso.

    3.8m in the bank.

    Current dillema is the Alonso transfer. It's between Digne, Laporte and Regs.
    Second dillema - Captain. Do I risk Mo captain with the comments just out from Klopp.

    Thoughts?

  17. bangers and M*A*S*H
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    RMT

    Sanchez - Ramsdale
    Cancelo - Robbo - TAA - Dalot - Digne
    Raphinha - Salah - Bowen - Ramsey - Son
    Antonio - Watkins - Broja

  18. Salarrivederci
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Save FT and use transfers ahead of DGW25 with GW27 in mind?
    Gonna FH in 26 and 30.

    1 FT
    7.7 ITB
    2 FHs
    1 TC

    Foster
    TAA - Cancelo - Coufal

    (K)ane - DCL - King

    (Sanchez, Gray, Royal, Lowton)

  19. The Mighty Whites
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Start Gundo, Dennis or Maddison?

  20. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Hey fam! Save FT? 1 FT 9.9 ITB

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo(C) Cash Dalot
    Foden Bernardo Jota Bowen Ramsey
    Antonio

    Foster Coufal King Dennis

    Planning to do TC26, FH27. No plans for WC, BB & 2nd FH.

  21. Salan
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    DCL > Edouard. Free hit.

    Yes or No?

    1. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Probably not, although Edouard does have a DGW26.

    2. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I kind of like it.

    3. Diamondgeezer
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Trying to decide the same. I have had DLC since he was back and I have be so underwhelmed. Edouard has good fixtures and a double coming too.
      I just feel DLC could go on a big run of scoring.

      1. Salan
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Same here. 50/50 now.

    4. Salan

      Thanks all.

  22. CAPA
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Does anyone know if Olise is a reasonably safe starter over GW24-28?

    1. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Lots of options in the attacking roles - would be surprised to see him start them all.

      1. CAPA
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        CP have some decent fixtures and he's a nice price point

        1. CABAYE4
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          I agree on both of those things.

          But I wouldn’t say he’s a safe starter so to me he’s a big risk.

          1. CAPA
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 2 months ago

            Thanks for your comments, much appreciated. I'm only looking at CP mid for the DGW26 and of course Gallagher can only play 1 of the games

  23. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Salah in and captain is so tempting.

  24. Bobby Crush
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What would you choose?

    A) Salah, Kane, Broja/ Ramsey (start one of them)

    B) Salah, Jota, Watkins/Another
    Sub: Edouard/Broja

  25. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Start King or Dennis?

    1. The Mighty Whites
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Den

    2. FourLokoLeipzig
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I’m going Dennis. He’s rested and may have cleared his head of his AFCON funk, whereas King just looks short on confidence after all his blanks

    3. Stranger Mings
