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.

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

      I'm guessing no. Didnt do too well v Saints & Mahrez seems back in favour

      1. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        What are you on about? Bruno is 32.4% toward a price drop on fplstats, no way he rises today

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I’ve got 2 transfers? You mean burn it?

        1. Cojones of Destiny
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          i do B move as you already have a solid captain choice for this week. Interested to know move would you make for this week?

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            What do you mean sorry?

            1. Cojones of Destiny
              • 8 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              i meant you ve got an amazing rank and ur decisions brought you where you are now hence what move from above (your list of options) would you make ?)) sorry if i was confusing

              1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                • 10 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                No worries. I’m torn between the options. I think B is the most sensible so I’ll likely end on that

                1. Cojones of Destiny
                  • 8 Years
                  4 years, 1 month ago

                  yes B is best imo. pls share ur thoughts on:
                  play: a. Ramsey b. Dalot
                  cap: 1. Jota, 2. KDB

                  1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                    • 10 Years
                    4 years, 1 month ago

                    2, just. A or B is tricky. Probably A since it’s Leeds

                    1. Cojones of Destiny
                      • 8 Years
                      4 years, 1 month ago

  5. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Emerson, Dalot or Digne for Alonso?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      D

    2. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Im considering the same players for Rudiger

      Tempted by Dalot as I dont own DDG

  6. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If you're on a WC.. would you rather have Bruno & KDB this week, with a view to going to Salah & Son for DGW26, or would you just bring Salah in now? & make the KDB move in 2 weeks time..

    Don't feel like Salah will play a full 90 after all the football he's played but Klopps comments scare me a bit and Leicester aren't exactly solid at the back.

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Salah v Lei = Golden boot locked

      1. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah but are you confident he starts? Surely being in contention does not mean he's going to start.

        1. artvandelay316
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Can't Salah do as much damage even if he comes on for a 30 min stinit?

    2. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’d just go Salah

    3. Kane Train
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      KDB this week. I’m Confident Salah won’t start.

      1. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I've had KDB for a while tbf, current midfield is KDB - Bruno - Bowen - Martinelli & Coutinho.

        I could swap Bruno to Salah as I've got enough in the bank, but then I'm losing a DGW player for 25.

  7. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Start ?

    A Dawson (WAT)
    B Dennis (whu)

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B

    2. Kane Train
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A. Can’t see Watford scoring tbh

    3. Sun God Nika
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      b

      1. Sun God Nika
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        pepped for Dennis to score. don't get the hate he is getting just because of a poor couple of weeks..

        1. Eastman
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I’m playing Dennis. Zouma likely to be out too

  8. cescpistols1
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best replacement for Mount? Stuck between Raphinha & Saka.

    Current midfield is:
    Jota Foden Mount Bowen Brownhill

    1. Allison Wonderland
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Raph. Saka has Wol (A) then blanks

  9. Allison Wonderland
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    1FT, 7.2ITB and still no idea what's best

    A) Alonso -> Digne or Laporte (but bench who?)
    B) Saka -> KDB(c)
    C) Dennis -> Edouard
    D) Dennis -> Kane(c)
    E) save

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Dalot Dawson
    Foden Jota Bowen Saka
    Antonio DCL
    Ramsdale Dennis (Trossard) (Alonso)

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      All Depends on your plans to get Salah back

      1. Allison Wonderland
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Only in GW26. Probably for Foden

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          That is a big upgrade so you will need money for that. Therefore I’d say C

  10. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who scores most? Salah (LEI) or Saka (WOL)?

    1. RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Salag

  11. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Who would you start from these 3?

    A. Dalot (bur)
    B. Reguilon (SOT)
    C. Tierney (wol)

    1. artvandelay316
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      C

  12. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    No Mahrez then?

    Pep Guardiola to Kyle Walker, Jack Grealish and Riyad Mahrez’s night out:
    “I’m so upset because they didn’t invite me.”

    1. Eastman

      ??

  13. Mattdrid
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone looking at Man u defence for next 3 games?

    1. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Middleborough gave Varane Mcguire a hiding, i wouldn't

  14. PScholes18
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Do we think Salah will play already this week? If so, will he outscore Foden/KdB over the next two GWs?
    My plan was to wait to GW26 before getting Salah back in.

    Leicester/Burnley for Salah and Brentford/Norwich for a City asset next two rounds.

  15. Jässi
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which option you think scores most points over next 5 gameweeks:

    A) Robertson + Weghorst + Elanga -4 (mainly on bench, but will start at least in their DGW)
    B) Van Dijk + Weghorst + Martinelli -4 (mainly on bench, but will start at least in their DGW)
    C) Robertson + Gray + Pukki (will start Pukki on gameweeks 24, 27 & 28)
    D) Van Dijk + Gray + Antonio (and need to get max 4.6 bench fodder for third forward)

    1. Original Sin
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A just slightly beats B I think. Either A or B.

  16. Original Sin
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Benching headache. Who to bench ?
    A. Tierny vs Wolves ( A)
    B. Cornet vs MU ( H)

    Currently on Cornet

    1. Mirkatldn
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cornett

  17. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Should be a fun week - can’t see anyone having an EO much over 100% so lots of opportunities.

  18. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    The possible Salah return has made me wonder about getting back which can do for £6.6m in bank but would need to be be for Raphinha or KDB

    A 1 Raphinha or 2 KDB to Salah-4
    B Stick to plan
    Week 24 captain KDB and bring in Bruno
    Week 25 captain Bruno and transfer KDB to Salah
    Week 26 TC Salah and transfer Bruno to Son

    1. Original Sin
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      B stick to plan

  19. Bavarian
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go? correct benching?
    or anything to do with 1ft and 0.2itb??

    Ramsdale
    TAA-Cancelo-Laporte-Reguilon
    Bowen-Jota-Bruno-Maddison
    Kane(C)-Antonio

    Guaita-King-White-Allan

    1. Sagnik Sadhukhan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Good to go I guess. Maybe move White over King? Arsenal have a good chance of keeping a cleanie

  20. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which one is better for this GW ?

    1. Antonio Ramsey

    2. Edouard Gray

    1. Sagnik Sadhukhan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      2

  21. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Wildcard was all set, but the Salah potentially playing news has made me re-think, can I stick to my plan of this team for two weeks.. then KDB & Bruno > Salah and Son for GW26? Or would I be better just bringing Salah in for one of Bruno/KDB.

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

    Ramsdale - Dalot - Ait Nouri - Broja

    1. Sagnik Sadhukhan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I would stick to the plan and avoid Salah for a couple of weeks and hope that the likes of kdb and bruno outscore him over this period.
      I'm wildcarding next week. Quite like yours tbf apart from no Kane. Might just copy yours

  22. KirkhamWesham
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    KDB, Bruno or Edouard?

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

      for what?

    2. Sagnik Sadhukhan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kdb for this week. Bruno if picking over two weeks(24, 25)

  23. Espresso Martinelli
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsdale
    Trent Cancelo Regullion
    Sterling Gray Bruno Jota Bowen
    Antonio Watkins

    Bench
    DeGea Lamptey King Dawson
    Got 2FTs
    1. Sterling + Antonio = Son + eduard
    2. Sterling + king + lamptey = mahrez/foden + eduard + digne (this sets me up for BB this week)
    3. Suggestions...

  24. Mirkatldn
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I’m swapping Sterling for Salah. But should I do it this week or next week? If next week, would you keep Sterling or replace him for someone else for this GW only and who?

    1. Sagnik Sadhukhan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I own Raz myself and sterling is a tricky one. But he can play on all 3 positions in the front 3 and with Jesus out there is one less competition for his place. I would keep him for this week actually but it's a tough one. Read Luke's weekly thread on Twitter for more info on Man city's rotation

  25. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Now safe to get KDB?

    1. Sagnik Sadhukhan
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      For this week yeah but I expect him to get benched against Norwich

      1. Stranger Mings
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers agree so doing KDB to Bruno DGW25

      No brainer
