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.

    Play 2

    A Dalot (bur away)
    B Tierney (Wolves away)
    C Williams (palace home)
    D Dennis (West Ham away)

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      B for sure, probably D as well

    2. DRIZ ✅

      bc

  2. ZTF

    WC team. Anywhere to improve?

    DDG (3.9)
    TAA Cancelo Digne (A.Nouri, Williams)
    Bowen KDB Bruno Jota (Cornet)
    Broja Watkins DCL

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      plans for Salah?

      1. ZTF
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        GW26 - depending on which of those 2 mids I’m happy to lose

    2. 1966
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      No arsenal? They probably have the second best double game week games in 26?

  3. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Leicester and Brentford both conceded 4 goals a few days ago with pretty much their first teams.

    Are you picking a captain from Liverpool or Manchester City? Is it a defender or midfielder? Any of them could deliver the goods and it's really hard to decide what to do. Jota can outscore Alexander-Arnold and vice versa. Cancelo can outscore De Bruyne and vice versa.

    What are you leaning towards?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Have been set on Mahrez all week and I'm now incredibly tempted to go with Salah. Will be one of the few occasions in the remainder of the season where a haul could do wonders for rank

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

        Always go with your first instinct

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah you're right. I remember a few months ago seeing one of the few pieces of FPL advice that I felt has stuck with me and has done me well this season: don't be tempted by last second changes, they're not thought through and there's a reason why you had a different plan all week. Not exactly advice that you can't utilise in daily life either

      2. DRIZ ✅
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Salah for me, chasing the golden boot!

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

      KDB

  4. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Got kdb bruno on WC, would you remove either for salah? Original plan is to get salah in GW26
    Thoughts?

  5. Athletico Underachieving
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA, Cancelo, Coufal, Bavies
    Jota, Bowen, Salah, Bilva, Bruno (c)
    Edouard

    Sanchez, Dennis, King, Livra

    Starters and bench all correct?

  6. Steve The Spud
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Start martinelli or dalot (double with de gea)

  7. Hulk Smash
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Thoughts on these 3 transfers please boys? Would be -4.

    Maddison to Son
    Alonso to Digne
    Antonio to Edouard

    1. Red Red Robins
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Im keeping Antonio for Watford tbh mate

    2. Bubbles1985
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Good moces

    3. Red Red Robins
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Other 2 look great though!

      IF doing Antonio to Edouard for cash then yes, looks good to go

      1. Bubbles1985
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        Antonio looks knackered.

        This is from a WHU season ticket holder, so I really want him to perform!

        1. Red Red Robins
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Im looking to move on after Watford, i think............ive said this for so many weeks haha
          Goal against Watford means ill keep for another 12 weeks

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

      I am not sure I'd take the hit, but all the moves look good if for long term.

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

    Which one is better for this GW?

    1. Antonio Ramsey

    2. Edouard Gray

  9. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Dalot, Shaw or Digne

  10. dazzydazzler
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Just seen the HORRIFIC footage of Zouma kicking and hitting his pet cat whilst all his mates are laughing!

    Apparently West Ham are dealing with this INTERNALLY!

    Anyone who has Zouma in their FPL team needs to think again.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      He's not playing in the next game for sure.

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Nothing will happen, it wasn't a human

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

      I havent got zouma in my team but i dont see how kicking a cat would instantly mean he needs to come out of my team.

  11. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    On WC. How's it looking?

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Digne
    Salah KDB Fernandes Bowen Ramsey
    ASM Edouard

    Sánchez Dalot Ait Nouri Idah

  12. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Antonio > Edouard for Free?

    1. the dom 1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      if u have Bowen then yes 😉

      1. Disco Stu
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I do have Bowen so Done

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I would if you don’t think Antonio plays this week anyways and Edouard will do good over the fixtures. I was looking to do the same but with DCL but feel I need to save my FT’s and put out other fires first

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Yep

  13. tim

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Can you do one of the Watford strikers to Edouard?

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

        Nope, would need to ship Antonio for a hit.

  14. the dom 1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Cheers

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      Probably have to WC either this week or next, how soon do you want Salah back in your squad?

      1. the dom 1
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        sooner rather than later but need United player for DGW25 i feel?

  15. Thomas Magnum
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Have a FT to burn and can maneuver the blanks
    Doucoure >
    A) Mac Allister (- WAT/mun, bha)
    B Martinelli (wol, - BRE/WOL - )
    Are either feasible options? Not sure much about either and 0.0 itb so 5.4 to spend

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

      Ramsey

      1. Thomas Magnum
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I have D.Luiz already as a fodder, not sure it’s worth having 2 Villa in for now

    1. The Mentaculus

      Swap King & Saka

  17. as33
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Hey, i have all chips left, and leading in my ML by 80pnts, should i just use FH on DGW and safe WC? Do i need any changes in my team?
    De gea
    Cancelo, Taa, Dalot
    Jota, KDB(c), Bowen,, Moura
    King, Dennis, Kane
    Sub: Martinelli, Davies, Livra

  18. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    On my WC, pretty set on this.. would you make any changes to this? Currently on Martinelli and 1.2m in the bank over Raph and 0m in the bank. I can cover the blanks in 25 and 27.

    Plans would be KDB & Bruno > Salah & Son in DGW26, does that look like a solid plan?

    DDG
    Taa - Robbo - Cancelo
    Kdb (c) - Bowen - Bruno - Coutinho - Martinelli
    Watkins - Edouard

    Ramsdale - Dalot - Ait Nouri - Broja

    1. thegaffer82
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      G2G. Not a big fan of booking in transfers on WC. But the plan looks solid if it comes to fruition and a nice team that!

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

        Well, I definitely want KDB for the next 2 weeks, Bruno is a solid captain choice through GW25 and has a good fixture this week too. Will have 2FT's so can make those moves for free!

        I would like Salah as I feel most people will still not have him back in, but can't really see myself losing either bruno or kdb this week?

    2. XABI 15
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      do you not want any Spurs for next 2 weeks?

  19. thegaffer82
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Need a MFer for 5.5 or less so I can afford Salah back next GW.
    All things bring equal I’d probably just go for Martinelli. But considering the blanks he’s got coming up, maybe Olise could be an exciting alternative who’ll play two more games between now and GW28…

    So basically I’m asking ESR >

    A) Martinelli
    B) Olise

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

      A

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      I like Olise too, just depends when he really clicks.

  20. RWB_1991
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    What price will Salah be by gw26 we reckon?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      12.8

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

      All depends on if he plays this GW.

      If he plays and scores then he could be 13+

  21. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Which one please? 1FT and 3.7m ITB. Still have all chips.

    DDG
    Reguilon - Cancelo - TAA
    Maddison - Bruno - Jota - Foden - Bowen
    King - Antonio

    (Foster) - Broja - Lamptey - Livra

    A) Maddison > Son
    B) King > Edouard
    C) Save

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 2 months ago

      C

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

        I know just i think Son will do something this GW

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 2 months ago

          Trust yourself

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

            always a gamble that mate 🙂

  22. Indio
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    How's this WC looking please? Been really struggling to find balance with doubles, but reckon this gives me a decent mix?

    Ramsdale, Sanchez
    TAA, Robbo, Cancelo, Tierney, Dalot
    Saka, Foden, Bruno (Salah), Bowen, Ramsey
    Kane, Edouard, Idah

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

      Definitely looks balanced with a big hitter up top and in the middle, I've gone a bit heavier in the middle as opposed to up top.

  23. KirkhamWesham
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 2 months ago

    Should I bring in...
    A) Son
    B) Bruno
    C) KDB
    D) Edouard

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo TAA Laporte Coufal Reguilon

      Salah for me

      1. KirkhamWesham
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 2 months ago

        I don't think he'll start.
