The deadline for Gameweek 27 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 or Free Hit drafts 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.

      Not planning to WC before gw 30 atleast.
      Which of the following players should I sort for hits this week(they might not play so effectively solving issues for -2)

      A) guaita to forster
      B) foden to raphinha
      C) reggy to saiss

      I only have allan on the bench for this week

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

        C. Not exactly sure about the Guaita situation, but not B, Raphinha is prob more problematic than Foden

    • Junglist95
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      -8 for Dennis to Broja?

      1. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nope

        1. Junglist95
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Thanks

      2. Fuddled FC
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Over the next few fixtures it would probably work out..
        Obviously each hit is only worth -4 so think of it like that

        1. Junglist95
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          That's my logic

      3. JPSpurs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That’s what I am planning, along with JWP

    • Baron Saturday
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Morning/afternoon/evening all.

      On a free hit. Madness to go Cancelo and Walker instead of a Burnley defender?

      Pope in goal

      1. BERGKOP
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Not at all

        1. Baron Saturday
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers pal

    • Fuddled FC
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      would you go?

      a) Salah & Jota > Sterling & Mahrez (-4)
      b) Jota & Dennis > Mahrez & Broja (-4)
      c) Jota > JWP

      1. Junglist95
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        C if I can play 11

      2. Jambot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Are you wildcarding next week? Not A if not and even if you are will you lose any value? I'd go B

    • Gazwaz80

      GAZWAZ80 2 Years28 mins ago
      Hi everyone,
      Lots to consider this gameweek for everybody, stick & use free transfers, free hit, wildcard etc. my preferred choice this week is to use my first free hit & wildcard next week.
      So with that in mind a little advice is required from the eclectic knowledge in FPL that you all possess regarding team choice, captain choice, and bench boost order.
      My team consists of :
      De Gea
      Roberts, Cancelo, Shaw,
      Sancho, Sterling, Son, Mahrez
      Broja, Kane, Weghorst

      Any advice would be greatly appreciated and good luck to everybody and may your bold decisions be greatly rewarded

      1. Gazwaz80

        4 years, 1 month ago

        This is a repost but not from 2 years 28 mins ago 😀

    • ShaunGoater123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      FH team good to go?

      Raya
      Cancelo / Mee / Tarkowski
      Son / Sterling / Mahrez / Bruno
      Weghosrt / Kane / Broja

      Fernandez / Ramsey / Amartey / Williams

      1. KEN YA DIG IT
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I prefer Forster to Raya

    • The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Guys any chance we know asnl will double in 28 today? My decision depends on that probably. If doubles then I may wc and bb next week.

    • Shark Team
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Let's hope Bowen has another haul vs wolves(H)

      1. internal error
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        he didnt haul last time vs Wolves. He got 2 pts

        1. Shark Team
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I said Vs wolves (h)

      2. Mr. O'Connell
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Got 2 points written all over it. Wolves 11 behind the ball again.

    • Zola
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Last decision on FH?

      A) Dubravka, Pieters, Cancelo
      B) Pope, Burn, Laporte

      On A atm and suspect most would say that - just a little concerned about minutes for Pieters.

      1. KEN YA DIG IT
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        A

      2. Jambot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        A

    • Sterling Malory
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Do you think the following move is excessive?

      Saka, Jota and Dennis >> Coutinho, JWP and Weghorst -8?

      Only one FH left.

      DDG
      Cancelo Digne AitNouri
      Coutinho JWP Bowen Raphinha
      Kane (c) Weghorst (vc) Broja

      Foster Salah TAA White

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

        I've done Jota and Dennis > JWP and Weg for a hit so agree that's worth it. Seems a shame to lose Saka with doubles and bgw to come

    • Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      3 Questions if anyone has time

      1) Anything worth a hit here? No free hit available. I want to protect rank against free hit but don't have one available and don't plan on wildcarding until GW31 (pending FA results)

      2) Son or Weg Captain?

      3) How many points does this team lose to the free hit template

      Fabianski
      Cancelo Lamptey Livra
      SonC JWP Bowen Couthino
      Jimi Weghorst Dennis

      Foster Salah Trent Tiernry

      0FT
      2.1 ITB
      2K OR

      1. BERGKOP
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Son

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

          Thanks. I think so too

      2. Dogs Of War
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Maybe Dennis to Broja, but that would mean triple Southampton. Fixtures are good though.

        Weghorst as captain for the double.

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

          I am tempted by this. Dennis doubling and still looking capable is making me hesitate on that one. I haven't actually pulled the trigger on JWP yet if I did Dennis>Broja I could get mahrez in for Jota instead at the cost of an extra 4 points

    • Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone going without TOT cover?

      1. The Final Boss
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Of all the fixtures I think it's one of their attackers is a must have cuz it's Leeds.

      2. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        not many alternatives available

    • Mooster©️
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Would you play Raphina or Broja?

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Broja just about

      2. Jambot
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Broja

    • Chris_White
      • 14 Years

      A) Forster, Mee, Sterling

      B) Pope, Cresswell, Foden

      ddg
      keane* cancelo saiss livra
      bruno bowen
      edouard* dennis watkins*

      (foster taa salah jota saka)

      a) jota -> raph/coutinho/jwp

    • Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years

    • 1justlookin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Anyone thinking of going with Hwang over Jiminez?

      1. KEN YA DIG IT
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Nah

      2. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        nope

    • Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Will Dalot stert?

      1. KEN YA DIG IT
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yes

      2. james 101
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I think the real question here is “will anyone stert?”

        1. DARE TO BISCAN
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Once you stert, you can't sterp

    • aapoman
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      King and Gray -> Broja/Adams and JWP (-4)? Would leave me with:

      DDG
      Cancelo Dawson Livra
      Foden Raphinha JWP Bowen
      Weghorst Jimenez Adams/Broja

      Foster; Salah*, TAA*, Robbo*

      In gw28 then Weghorst to ASM/Wood or a WC.

    • thom830g

      Who to C?

      A) Kane

      2. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I'm on B because I don't own the other players

      3. aapoman
        • 12 Years

    • Alejo - CFC
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Would you FH this team?

      De Gea
      Cancelo, Alexander-Arnold, Sánchez
      Bernardo, Raphinha, Bowen, Salah
      Jiménez, Antonio, Edouard

      Subs : Sanchez,Ramsey, Ayling, Coufal

      Cheers

      1. KEN YA DIG IT
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Definitely

      2. STHH
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        There's a lot of good aspects to it, and I can't help but think using a FH now is a mistake if you've got very few players in GW30. If you have two left, then pull the trigger. If it's your last, save it.

    • Roy Rovers
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      So do I use a FH here?……got 2 FH.

      DDG
      Cancelo Dier Tark
      Son Bruno Bowen Ramsey
      Weghourst Edourado Borja

      Bachman Salah TAA William

      1. KEN YA DIG IT
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Save

      2. aapoman
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        No way! Just sell Edouard imo

        1. james 101
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Is he out of the starting team?

        2. Roy Rovers
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          For who though?…no great forwards at the moment!!

    • Minty1337
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ward prowse or broja?

      On fh

        WP

    • james 101
      • 14 Years

      GTG? (No hits so far)

      Sa
      Cancelo Laporte Amerty
      Son Ramsey Raphina Bowen
      Edouard Weghorst Maupay

      (Foster Salah TAA Robbo)

      £1.6 in the bank.

      A. Stick
      B. Twist (what would you change?)

      Still have FH chips, no WC.

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

        C- FH

        1. james 101
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I can fiend 10/11 without a hit.

          Many good players in there

          Better to use a FH on a big DGW or major BGW no?

          1. james 101
            • 14 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            *field. Not fiend!

    • nbutko
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      hey guys, i never played my free hit chip this season, do i still have 2 free hit chips available?

      1. aapoman
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        yes

      2. james 101
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yep. Me too. Keep putting them off for a rainier day

    • mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      How do you rate this FH? Going for two City Def as I think their starts are more likely than the mids

      Pope
      Cancelo, Laporte, KWP
      Bruno, Son, Mahrez, Gallagher
      Kane, Broja, Weg

      Bowen, Livra, Amartey

      1. KEN YA DIG IT
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I dont like the Gallagher pick tbh,far better options this week
