The deadline for Double Gameweek 28 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is less than 24 hours away 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 Wildcard drafts and so 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 first 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 â€˜Rate My Team’ tool available in the Premium Members Area.

    1. Thinkering like a Boss
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Willock

      1. jimmyharte
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Why?

        1. Thinkering like a Boss
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 2 days ago

          just because 4 games thats all

          1. jimmyharte
            • 8 Years
            4 years, 2 days ago

            It's free hit

    2. jimmyharte
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      James also?

    3. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Willock

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      What you talkin' aboot Willock.
      Prowse all day, all week.

  3. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Am I the only one who think Reece James only starts one of the games?

    1. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Suspect not

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Possibly. Could start both and play 60 mins and get subbed off for protection maybe?

    3. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      I think strong risk but will probably come on as a sub so maybe still worth getting

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Not sure he is worth a hit

    4. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      No - most have been saying 2 of the next 3.
      But not sure which one he won’t play.

    5. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      or he could play 180 mins which would be lovely 🙂

    6. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Probably yes, but happy with that on a WC

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Yh, makes sense on WC. Not sure about a hit.

        1. Royal5
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 2 days ago

          Cancelo, Robbo, Trent, Digne could do well

  4. tibollom

    bruno to son for -4pts or g2g?

  5. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Have Kane already. Thoughts on Kulusevski on wildcard? Is he nailed enough for the doubles?
    Just thinking he is very cheap and he might take some points off Son if I don't have Son.

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Yeah good option

  6. yellowbutton
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Is Ait Nouri nailed?

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      No

  7. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Which is better ?
    A- T.Silva & Vardy?
    B- James & Laca

    1. MARVELLUS
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      B

    2. Original Sin
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      A

  8. JONALDINHO
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    What to do with ASM? Currently on BB. What’s his chances of starting?

  9. _____JR_____
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    What two Chelsea defenders would you pick for the double GW?

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Rudiger plus t silva but if you want to take risk go James

  10. Bod
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Safest option in Chelsea defence?

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Rudiger

    2. marcos11
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Rudiger

  11. tabby98
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    jimenez or hwang?

    1. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Neither
      No attacking form

    2. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Blimey Jimi but not keen on either!!

  12. NotsoSpursy

        Ha thanks

  13. HuttonDressedasLahm
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    I’m set…. Probably 🙂
    WC 28
    BB 29

    Dubravka
    Saiss James Tilva
    Salah Raphinha Havertz(c) Ramsey Saka
    Kane Adams(vc)

    Pickford ASM Robertson Matip

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Good luck for the gameweek!

      Some brave decisions there (no TAA, Cancelo, Havertz captain) - like them and hope they work out in your favor.

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Looks good. Rudiger over Tilva?
      ASM also might be a risk but I guess you saving him for 29?

  14. BigAsGiroud_
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    For gw28&29, already have Son
    A) Kane+Ramsey+ESR
    Or
    B) Kulu+Laca+Coutinho+8 points

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Difficult. I would probably go B.

  15. banskt
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Hot Topic link in the post goes to the thread from last week.

    Anyway, looking forward to your opinions on this team.
    No hits taken, FT used, 5 DGWers, FHs in GW30 and GW33. No WC left.

    Foster²
    Alexander-Arnold | Cancelo | Robertson | Rüdiger² | Ait Nouri²
    Salah (c) | Mahrez | Son
    Dennis² | Broja² (vc)
    (Ramsdale | Gallagher | Bowen | 4.4m)
    0.7 in the bank.

    A) Good to Go.
    B) Gallagher > Fraser / Willock (-4) and bench Dennis².
    C) Something else.

    For option B, I am thinking Newcastle mids will score more than 8 points, enough to surpass the 4 points (?) of Dennis this week and give me an extra DGWer next week.

    1. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      I'm kind of similar( but have 2 extra 30 gw players) was all set on fh in 30, but with 2ft can get up to 9 for 30, and tempted to use the fh slated for that week now. Feels like more upside, going from 4 double gw to 9.

      Tough calls!

      1. jason_ni
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        If your stuck on your strategy, I'd go as your are.

        1. banskt
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 2 days ago

          Thanks for your thoughts. Confused whether to take the hit (option B) or just go as it is, and hope Dennis scores.

      2. banskt
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        Tough calls indeed. I am reluctant to use the FH this week, because I can't trust Villa and Leeds, in particular. Villa is not in form and Leeds going into a turmoil with manager changes and all. Since I already used my WC, I cannot remove non-performing assets in case I buy Villa / Leeds assets and they don't perform.

  16. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    How's this fh look? Am thinking of going fh this week, gets me 5 extra dbl gw players this week up to 9, from just 4. Thinking of going in big ln chelsea defence. Big risk Big reward.

    Sa
    Rudi - James - Alonso - Saiss
    Salah - Raphina - JWP
    Kane - Jimi- Broja

    Kane could be son.

    Have 2fh left and currently have 7 players in 30, so could feasible manage it with ft.

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      It does look great on paper. I would go Thiago over Alonso, little bit more security. Not sure about Raphinha but to each his own.

  17. Tmel
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Foster
    TAA Robertson Saiss Digne
    Ramsey Coutinho Salah
    Laca Jimenez Broja
    (Ramsdale Saka Cancelo Bowen)

    How does Bowen > Raphina for free and play BB look?

    (would then look to ship Jimenez for Kane next week)

    1. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      If you still have wc, id wait till later. Can get bench with more doubles later on.

  18. gellinmagellan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Dubravka
    TAA James Saiss
    Salah Raphinha Willock Coutinho Saka
    Kane Broja

    Ramsdale Cancelo Hwang Amartey

    On WC. Is this good for 28 and BB 29?

    Foster (de Gea)
    James, Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk (Cancelo) (White)
    Coutinho, Salah, Ramesey, Saka (Bowen)

  22. Malinwa

    Who would you bench:

    A) Laca
    B) Jota

    1. Royal5

      Jota as he could start on the bench

      1. Malinwa
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 2 days ago

        cheers

  23. tabby98
    • 10 Years

    Best £7 mil striker for WC? Have Broja & Kane

    1. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Double on Che.

    2. NotsoSpursy
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Jim

    3. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Adam’s

  24. FPLtfs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo, TAA, VvD,
    Salah, Trossard, JWP*, Cornet
    Kane, Broja*, Weghorst
    Sanchez, Dalot, Bowen, Tarkowski

    1 ft, 2FH, 1WC, 1BB

    Time to hit the WC button, right? Or FH?

  25. Bod
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Fabianski Gabriel Bowen Laporte
    Worth a bench boost?

  26. NotsoSpursy
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Coutinho is more important than Jimenez on a WC.

    True or False ?

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      True but not sure for either !

    2. Veni Vidi Vialli
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Goes without saying.

  27. HeinrichWalker
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Coutinho + Wood or Fraser/Willock + Watkins?

  28. George James
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Which 3 Chelsea players would you have on FH?

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 2 days ago

      Mendy, Rudiger, Lukaku.

      Lukaku is one of those players who you don't want in your team long term, but have high ceilings to boost rankings if he delivers. Big risk though. Otherwise, James.

  29. Toothless
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Weghourst to Adams for a -4?

    Already got Broja.

  30. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 2 days ago

    Wood may never score for Newcastle.
    Just saying....
