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.

    Just took a -8 hit to do
    Tierny+Martinelli= Roberts (DGW27)+JWP(DGW28)

    I am thinking it will be 2 Fixtures vs 6 fixtures for the next 2GWs. So, the -8 should be recovered at least, right?

    1. Original Sin
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Any input?

  2. grennans2
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Worth using FH (have 2 left) or WC on the below team? Injury doubts are starred

    DDG
    Cancelo - Digne - Coufal*
    Bowen - Bruno - Cornet* - Foden
    Weghorst - King* - Dennis

    Ramsdale - Salah - TAA - Tierney

    Alternatively, I could take the following hit:

    Salah & Coufal > Son & Mee (getting Salah back in the week after, potentially on a WC)

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      take the hit,

    2. GK
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Take the hit

    3. Original Sin
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      How much you will loose on Salah to buy back?

  3. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    DDG (Bach)
    Cancelo Livra Amartey (Robbo, TAA)
    Foden Bowen Maddi (Salah, Saka)
    Weghorst Broja Dennis

    0FT, £3.0ITB

    Selling Saka gives me 9.4 ITB so:

    A) Saka to Sancho/Coutinho (-4)
    B) Get Spurs cover by selling Saka to Moura/Kulu
    C) Other

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If this was me I think I'd do foden to son. Fodens playing awfully, and Man City just lost at home, I expect a completely new XI to be put out by Pep. I'd even think about Cancello to Roberts for a hit, afterward.

      1. Haa-lala-land
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        And play 10

      2. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Do you prefer this move rather than getting Coutinho and plan for DGW29?

  4. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Decisions on FH - feedback appreciated!

    A) Sterling & Livramento
    B) Laporte & Sancho

    A) Livramento (Veltman, Ramsey, Tsimikas)
    B) Bednarek (Ramsey, Amartey, Williams)
    C) Bednarek (Veltman, Luiz, Amartey)

    A) Cancelo & Broja (Ramsey)
    B) Walker & JWP (Gelhardt)
    C) Laporte & Kulusevski (Gelhardt)

    Currently on the 'A's...

    Cheers!!

    1. Reacher
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      also on a FH I've gone the A's but have gone bednarek over Livra for safety

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers. Annoyingly 0.1 short which is why I have the second options!

        1. Reacher
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          Just downgrade the none playing keeper or a benched defender to accommodate

          1. Catastrophe
            • 15 Years
            4 years, 3 months ago

            Yes - those are effectively the B and C options (already have 3.9 sub keeper)

    2. GK
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      The A’s sound good

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers

    3. Birdman77
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      If you break it down you’ll get more responses mate. It’s a confusing post. Pick 2 or 3 max key players you’re deciding on & put them up for a vote

      1. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers- fair point!

  5. Danstoke82
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Whom to captain ?

    A) Kane
    B) Son
    C) Weghorst

    Thanks in advance!

    1. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      C, I think.

    2. No Kane No Gain
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      C for sure if you have both A and B.

    3. Reacher
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

    4. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      B

    5. GK
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      C

    6. Birdman77
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I’m on C but only cause of two cracks at the scoring cherry

    7. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I am not sure about Weghorst captain. Remeber Dennis and King?

    8. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      I just can't see Leeds ever keeping a clean sheet again. I've son and weg, and my head says son but heart says weg

      1. Danstoke82
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks all, great feedback. Tilting towards C only because of the DGW

  6. No Kane No Gain
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How do I change the linked team on my profile?! For some reason there is a random team that is my profile URL and it’s not mine lol

    1. Reacher
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mine was the same, I just deleted the attached random linked team

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Edit in "website", add your team ID in place of 769661

  7. Kno
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Which compromise on the template would you prefer?

    A: bruno to sancho

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      A

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      this and palace ruining that bur cs)

      1. TopBinFC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Palace and Leicester will both score against Burnley I feel

    2. The Train Driver
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      See Southampton conceding as well, only got Broja for that game on a FH.

    3. TopBinFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah, Norwich are no picnic, only went Broja here

  9. Yankee Toffee
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    RMT, please!

    FH, Had Mahrez and decided to punt on Armstrong or Kulusevski instead and strengthen bench.

    Pope
    Mee, Cancelo, KWP
    Sterling, Bruno, Son, Kulusevski/Armstrong
    Kane, Broja, Weghorst (c)

    Dubravka, Kulusevski/Armstrong, Amartey, Williams (Nor)

    .3 itb

    1. Haa-lala-land
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Very nice, I'd be worried pep may rotate and not play Cancelo though

  10. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Broja or Che? Money not issue

  11. RyanMK
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Captain KDB or Weghorst?

    1. Cojones of Destiny
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      KDB if chasin weg if protecting rank

      1. GK
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        This

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      KDB

  12. Cojones of Destiny
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    bench one:
    a. D. James (Tot)
    b. Ramsey (Bha)
    c. Mateta (Bur)

    1. mixology
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      But if a luxury this GW. Reckon C starts?

      1. Cojones of Destiny
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        no idea mate but hopes he does

    2. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      C

  13. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Is Bednarek nailed?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah

  14. mixology
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Madness?

    Salah(blank) + Watkins (bri) to Mahrez + Kane with 2 free transfers?

    Seems short sighted considering Watkins has a DGW in 28 and Salah, well…

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      How to get Salah back? Watkins can go

    2. Danstoke82
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      As long as you can get Salah back otherwise I’d just bench him for this GW

      1. mixology
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers both

  15. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    The captain poll suggests more confidence in Weghorst (c) than the comments suggest

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Intellect differentiation.

  16. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    If you think about it, it actually makes more sense to double up on Burnley defense Mee and Tark, and have Forster/DDG in goal, this way two defenders have a higher chance of scoring from a set piece than just one. Thoughts?

    1. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Smart. Especially since their xG & attempts from corners are virtually the same

  17. Jones Kusi
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Best chip strategy?
    2 FH, WC, BB left

    1 FT 3.1 ITB
    De gea Gunnarsson
    Dawson Dalot Cancelo Taa Livra
    Bowen Salah Son Bernardo Brownhill
    Weghorst Jimenez King

    1. Jones Kusi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Leaning towards fh in 28 and bb in 36. But not sure

  18. Test Eagles
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    On WC

    Sa
    Livra Kilman Cancelo
    Raphinha Coutinho Bowen Ward-Prowse
    Broja Kane Weghorst (c)

    Raja Digne TAA Salah

    Will need to shift a Soton asset after a few weeks. Gives me 9 DGW players for GW28 and a solid squad moving forward. Prepared to avoid the Pep Roulette for this week.

    Thoughts??

    1. Steiger
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      You need some Arsenal in there, and I'd lose Bowen as well.

      1. Test Eagles
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 months ago

        You’d lose Bowen given his current form?

        1. Steiger
          • 7 Years
          4 years, 3 months ago

          I would, yeah. There's some decent doubles coming up that I'd take advantage of and Bowen has got some tough single game fixtures coming up.

  19. internal error
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Which combo do you think scores the most pts this week?

    A) Forster + Roberts + Bruno

    or

    B) Pope + KWP + Sancho

  20. tinear
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Ramsdale
    Tierney Coufal Lamptey Cancelo
    KdB Bowen Ramsey
    Antonio Dennis Edouard

    Sanchez Saka Salah TAA

    Surely this needs a wildcard no?
    2FH WC BB 1FT available

    Can do -8 to field 11 but will most likely will WC 28 to offload bunch of them (Antonio, Edouard, Coufal, Lamptey

    Thoughts?

    A) Take -8
    Coufal Tierney Edouard to Mee Bednarek Weghorst

    B) WC

  21. james 101
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    GTG?

    Sa
    Cancelo Laporte Amerty
    Son Ramsey Raphina Bowen
    Adams Weghorst Maupay

    (Foster Salah TAA Robbo)

    Have 2 FHs but think I’d rather keep them for big DGWs or BGWs.

  22. The Train Driver
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    CP a bit like poor mans City, so many options in attack, hard to know which ones will play. Zaha a little bit like KDB, most nailed attacker but not completely safe from rotation, also priciest one...

    1. james 101
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

    2. Hughes Your Daddy
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Zaha? Would be really surprised if he doesn't start tbh. But agree with the rest of our attackers, pretty tough to guess the rest, tough to drop Mateta and Olise at the moment, Ayew and Edouard game time looking limited.

  23. sunzip14
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Some bench point this...

    https://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/2706208/event/26

  24. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    FH

    Dubravka
    Laporte Mee Roberts
    KDB Bruno Son JWP
    Kane Weg Broja

    Thoughts? I don’t want to play Pep roulette with Sterling who got hauled in their spurs loss, Bernado that needs a break, Mahrez that can get benched despite red hot form. Don’t fancy triple saints so gone Dub (BRE) over Forster but can switch back if enough think it’s best.

    Other options would be downgrading Bruno to Sancho and getting Cancelo over Laporte or upgrading JWP to a second City mid.

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      pope more likely for bonus over double defence. newcastle cs away from home is rare
      wouldn't suggest paying 7.1m for cancelo now
      cresswell decent option
      bruno just seems a lot safer albeit big price difference

  25. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    How good/bad are Norwich & Saints nowadays?

    Thinking Saka, Tierney > JWP, Mee (-4) to field 11

    Already have Broja, so not sure if I want both (further fixtures also look decent)

  26. bitm2007
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Sterling & Mahrez, with Liva and an ultra-cheap bench of Gilmour, Amartey, Tsimikas is crazy, right ?

    1. Birdman77
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      On FH? Not crazy at all

  27. NotsoSpursy
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    I’m surprised to see so many Sterling and Mahrez on FHs. I thought they are not guaranteed starters ?

    KDB better option no?

    1. bitm2007
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      That's my thinking as well. For me, it comes down to

      A) Sterling & Mahrez, with Liva and an ultra-cheap bench of Gilmour, Amartey, Tsimikas

      or

      B) KDB & Bowen with Bednerak and a bench of Ramsey, Amartey, Tsimikas

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

      Yeh good options !

  28. FPL_Crisis
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    What's missing here with FH team
    Can go Roberts to Mee
    also Kane or Son (c)?

    Pope
    Laporte Cresswell Roberts
    Son Bruno Mahrez JWP Bowen
    Kane Weg
    Foster Broja Bednerak Amartey

    1. NotsoSpursy
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 months ago

      Mee

  29. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 months ago

    Can't decide one between Kdb, Mahrez, Foden, Sterling... Maybe Mahrez who was rested or KDB
