The deadline for Double Gameweek 25 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is fast approaching and the questions are, as ever, coming thick and fast in our comments section.

Most of these are requests for advice on transfer dilemmas and it’s with that in mind that we’ve asked five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, to answer some of them over the next 60 minutes.

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.

    Foster (Ramsdale)
    Trent Cancelo Coufal (Livra Williams)
    Raphinha KDB(v) Bruno(c) Jota Bowen
    Watkins Antonio (Dennis)

    a. Raphinha+KDB -> Salah+Ramsey
    b. KDB+Watkins/Antonio -> Salah+Maupay
    c. Hold, bank xfer and move for Salah next week

    What's the move?

    1. gart888

      C

  2. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    DDG
    TAA - Cancelo - Laporte
    B Fernandes - Jota - Bowen - Gallagher - Coutinho
    Kane - Dennis

    (Sanchez - Coady - Dier - Gelhardt)

    Finally lost patience with Raphinha again so he's gone for Coutinho. Next week I'm thinking Fernandes > Salah and Dennis to Weghorst?

  3. G Banger
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Anything worth a hit?: 🙂

    De Gea
    TAA / Cancelo / Nouri
    KDB / Jota / Bowen / Foden / Ramsey
    Dennis / Antonio

    Ramsdale / Broja / Alonso / Johnson

    1. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Cancelo may be at risk of rotation so like me you have no cover.

    2. Conners
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Might be worth a hit to replace one of AIN, Alonson or Johnson.

  4. No Salah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    On WC
    Raphinha or Saka? Will bench in GW25

    Saka has better DGW 26 but Raphinha Saves a transfer on GW27

    1. Netters2018
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Thats the exact same dillema i have...and im still none the wiser....

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Struggling between the two as well. Still leaning towards raph

    3. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Saka probably

    4. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Have you got cash for Coutinho, or save money with Ramsey?

      See above, I ditched Raphinha. Might have two fixtures soon but they're both lousy.

    5. No Salah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I have coutinho

      Probably will go Saka

  5. JoeSoap
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Tempted to WC with 2 non playing defenders and potential rest at city. What do you think?

    A. WC (would help for double GW26 & probably free hit 27)
    B. KDB>Fernandes & Jonson>? Would then want Salah next week.

    D Gea
    Digne, Cancelo, TAA
    Jota, KDB, Bowen, Gallagher
    Antonio, Watkins, Dennis
    Foster, Jonson, Livra, Luiz,

    1. Max City
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Definitely not a WC..
      I would even roll a transfer this GW

      1. JoeSoap
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Jonson & Livra probably non starters and city guys due a rest. Would have no back up if one of them is rested plus have no Utd attackers.

    2. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      What would you WC to?

      1. JoeSoap
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Not sure yet. Salah would be in and maybe Saka. Son, Coutinho, ASM, Broja are other possibilities and maybe Fernandes for his double.

  6. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    One of these for next 2GWs:

    1. Ramsey
    2. Olise

    Have Edouard.

    1. Lukakus talking
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Ramsey. Lots of competition for palace spots

    2. roghippo
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      2

    3. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1

  7. Lukakus talking
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bottomed on last page. Chasing in ML, how's this for a WC team:

    Sanchez - Foster
    TAA - Robertson - White - Mee - Dalot
    Salah - Bruno - Sarr - Ramsey - Brownhill
    Kane - Weghorst - Broja

    Have all chips remaining, plan to TC Salah GW26.

    Thanks in advance

    1. Max City
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not the worst team..
      Probably you want someone else than Sarr.. There're plenty better MID at his price bracket I believe

  8. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Might take a rogue punt on Pogba

    1. Conners
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think there are worse punts to be fair. Has a nice fixture in the blank too.

    2. DAZZ
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      In place of who? And when do you plan to WC?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Gray. Tbh Im not sure, Iv been really short of time to think about my fpl team recently

        1. DAZZ
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I considered Foden > Pogba. Not sure Foden plays Norwich with CL round the corner

        2. Max City
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Gray to Pogba is alright I reckon

  9. roghippo
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Lose Jota or Robertson for Mo?

    Cheers

    1. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Has to be Robbo, Jota is insane value at his price

    2. No Salah
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lose Jota

  10. Jönny
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What have I missed r.e. KBD? Not in the predicted line up in the team news section...

    1. Conners
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Possible rest ahead of CL game.

    2. fricky_
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Champions league on Tuesday.

      1. Jönny
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ahhh of course.

  11. dbeck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    8m to spend on my martinelli replacement, who would you get? Or just play Dawson this week

    Mid is Jota Bruno Bowen Foden

    1. Max City
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Aren't there many choices at that price?

      1. Max City
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Saka, Raphinha, Coutinho, to name a few

        1. dbeck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          there a lot of choice but no stand out, who would you go to?

  12. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Looks OK?

    DDG
    TAA Cancelo Laporte
    Bruno(C) Salah Jota Bowen Ramsey
    Maupay Broja

    Ramsdale Weghorst Coady White

    1. Conners
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Looks great - WC team?

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah, had too many duds in my old team it just couldn't wait.

    2. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Dont like to premium keepers.. and then Maupay..
      Otherwise looking cool..

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Maupay goes after this GW.

    3. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Nice.... Don't fancy that Ramsey spot to be a raph or Saka?

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        May do that actually before deadline

    4. Max City
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Pretty template -ish.. So it must be good then?

      Other than DDG I would consider Pope

  13. Conners
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any adjustments required to this lot?

    DDG
    Trent - Dias - Cancelo
    Bruno(c) - Salah - Jota - Bowen - Ramsey
    Antonio - Dennis

    Foster / King - Nouri - Livra

  14. gart888

    Foster
    Cancelo Trent Dias Digne
    Bruno(C) Bowen, Foden Jota
    Watkins Antonio

    Ramsdale Dennis Livramento Martinelli

    Have 2.9 ITB. Plan on doing Bruno to Salah next GW. What to do this GW?

    a) Martinelli to Raph
    b) Martinelli to Ramsey
    c) Martinelli to Saka
    d) Roll transfer
    e) Other

    1. dbeck

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Saka doesnt play this week so why wouldnt you roll

        1. waltzingmatildas
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yes true! So D

          1. gart888
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            Think Trossard is worth consideration? Or too cheeky?

            1. gart888
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 9 months ago

              Or hell, maybe Maupay for one of my dismal forwards?

        2. gart888
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Yeah, that's a good point. Tho I'm actually leaning A.

          1. dbeck
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 9 months ago

            who would you then bench if you did A

  15. waltzingmatildas
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which one on WC?
    A) dunk
    B) tarkowski
    C) Romero

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I really like Pope on WC, if you dont have him, B

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers. No going ramsdale I think so thinking B

    2. Conners
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd get Tark.

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Cheers

  16. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    For those still advocating the premium (KDB?) to Bruno to Salah stepping stone, what about if Salah bangs at Burnley on Sunday?

    1. Viper
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      At least hardly anyone will have captained him

    2. mad_beer ✅
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      So be it. Can't have them all and who says Bruno won't match him?

    3. Volley127
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Even more reason to get Salah the week after then. Not sure how Salah hauling against Burnley can change anything.

  17. Viper
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would you do Saka -> Salah this week (benching Dennis) or do Trossard -> Salah next week instead?

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      If you do Saka to Salah this week, I assume you can do Tross to Saka next

      1. Viper
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I can but is it a waste or viable?

        1. dbeck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Viable as Tross doubles this week and Saka the following week

          Depends if there are fires in your team as its luxury move

  18. AnfieldsWind
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Tom/guys,

    Any comments on the following team:
    DDG
    TAA-Cancelo-Davies-Cucurella
    Raphinha-Bowen-Jota-Salah
    Watkins-DCL

    Steele Foden Dawson King

    2 FTs and 0.9 ITB
    A bit furstrated from few playes - Foden, Watkins, DCL and King, but trying to keep calm....
    Any ideas?

  19. Ghost of Tomiyasu
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    KDB to Bruno worth it?

    KDB vrs Norwich could out score Bruno even with a double
    But Bruno has a double so 2 tickets to the lottery

    ??? cant decide

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think i'm going to do it, the champs league game next week swayed it for me

      1. Ghost of Tomiyasu
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ah so you think with Tuesdays Champs league in mind he might manage KDB mins ...hmmm u may be on to something there as the league is 99.9999% over

        1. dbeck
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          its more a question if I go to bruno or straight to mo, KDB is going

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd go Bruno mainly because Pep roulette should be back with CL game on Wednesday so who knows if KDB will rested

  20. grennans2
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would appreciate your opinions - do you think A, B or C is the better option here? C is the most aggressive for a -8, but it allows me to have both KDB and Bruno this week so may pay off. Thoughts?

    Ramsdale - DDG
    TAA - Cancelo - Tierney - Digne - Coufal
    Jota - Bowen - KDB - Foden - Gray
    Watkins - Dennis - King

    A) GW25: KDB > Bruno / GW26: Bruno> Salah (free)
    B) GW25: KDB > Bruno / GW26: Bruno & Gray > Salah & Saka (-4)
    C) GW25: Gray & Watkins > Bruno & 4.4 FWD / GW26: Bruno & Coufal > Salah & White (-8)

  21. grifster69
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is BSilva/Rudiger>coutinho/white (free)
    Worth it? can't get Tierney as needs fund to upgrade for Salah next gw
    Thanks

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      i like it

  22. Bojam
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Afternoon all.

    Mulling over the following transfer for a hit (-4):

    Cancelo & Foden -> Webster & Salah

    Would give me this for GW25:

    Foster
    TAA, Laporte, Webster
    Salah, Son, Jota, Bowen, Ramsey
    Kane, Broja

    Bench: Ramsdale*, Dennis, Reguilon, Tierney*

    0.1m ITB

    No Utd for the DGW25 but given their form I’m not overly concerned. Webster gives me one doubler.

    Well set for DGW26 with 9 doublers.

    Losing Cancelo and Foden before Norwich seems a bit nuts but both could be rested and City don’t have any doubles on the cards. Could bring back Cancelo on the WC later. No other obvious route to Salah unless I lose Kane or Son which I don’t want to do.

    Yay or nay? Cheers.

    1. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Cant you bench Cancelo? Would be expensive to bring him back

      1. Bojam
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yeah and play Reguilon. But need funds to get to Salah.

        Foden to Salah seems a no brainer but need to free up 2.2m. Preferably without selling Son, Kane, Jota, Bowen or TAA.

        Would still have Laporte as City defensive cover.

        1. BIG TONES
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I dunno. Cancelo is so highly owned that you'll get rank drops in the coming weeks every time he hauls

        2. Bojam
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Could wait a week I guess but the risk is that Cancelo and Foden get benched and Salah hauls vs Burnley.

    2. Fintroy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Surely Salah outscores Kane tho ?

      1. Bojam
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Quite probably. But Kane has a double in GW26 and a couple more to be arranged. Would like to have them both.

        City don’t have any doubles and with the CL back the rotation risk is elevated.

  23. It’s gonna Ben Mee
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Fool me once shame on you, DGW. Fool me 34 times shame on me.

    Welcome to the team Bruno!

  24. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which side do.you prefer for 25 and 27?

    A) Maupay vs Wat(A), Mun(A), AVL(H) -4

    Vs

    B) Antonio vs Lei(A), Wol(H)

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think holding Antonio then moving to Wout next week (even for a hit) prob makes the most sense

  25. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Going for the Bruno double up. Who would you captain of the two?

    1. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Bruno and Ronaldo double up*

      1. It’s gonna Ben Mee
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        I’m captaining Bruno. Have both myself.

        1. BIG TONES
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          I'm thinking the same. Just can't be sure Ron gets 2x 90 mins

  26. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Any suggestions here, 1FT 2.7M

    Currently have:
    2 DGW25
    6DGW26

    DDG
    Cancelo Dias Reguilon TAA
    Foden Jota Bruno Bowen
    DCL Dennis
    (Steele, King, Manquillo, Saka)

    Thinking Dias > Dalot ? Will leave funds for Salah and Son in 26

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      just roll the transfer imo

  27. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    1. Antonio out this week but for who?
    2. Martinelli-> Ramsey (saves cash).

    DDG.
    Dalot, TAA, Cancelo, Laporte.
    Raphinha, Foden (vc), Jota, Bowen.
    Ronaldo (c), Antonio.
    Bach, King, Tierney, Martinelli.
    2ft, 3.3m ITB.
    2 FH's, WC, TC left.
    Salah in next week for TC. FH 27 probably and then WC in 28 or after 30.

  28. Return of the FF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Presumably worth doing Son to Bruno for this week with my one FT? Any other notable DGW assets not to overlook?

      But if those 2 play, they could haul vs Norwich? Man Utd are hardly scoring loads of goals!

      I guess if you think the Man city ones won't play then do it.
