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 ‘Rate My Team’ tool available in the Premium Members Area.

    So here's the plan folks:

    GW28 (WC):
    Ramsdale Sa
    TAA Rudiger Digne James Kilman
    Salah Saka Raphinha Ramsey Willock
    Kane Broja Hwang

    GW29 - hold transfers

    GW30:
    Salah+Willock->Son+Maddison
    Saves 2nd FH, 9 ~decent players out

    GW31:
    Get Salah and Cancelo back, possibly for a -4

    Tell me this isn't mad

    1. FPL Bargain
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Sounds good if you can't use a free hit

  2. nevermind
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    For this GW only:
    A. Foden (MU)
    B. Havertz (bur,nor) -4
    C. Coutinho (SOU,lee) -4

    1. FPL Bargain
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      C

    2. NotsoSpursy
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      B

    3. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      A.

    4. Bob.
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      A or C

  3. FPL Bargain
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    If I free hit will it save my built up free transfers or wipe them?

    1. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Wipe

  4. Ajax Hamsterdam
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    So can Southampton still have a dgw29?

    1. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      No

      1. European Bob
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        Why?

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Something I read on the website earlier on

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Yes

  5. yellowbutton
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    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??

    1. Sam (Team Sam)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Looks very strong.

      Not too different to mine.

      I'm currently benching Saka and playing Hwang this week.

      Considered this?

  6. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Hey folks.

    I won't be WC/FH-ing this GW.
    FH30 & FH33/36 most likely.

    Ramsdale
    TAA Cancelo Digne White Livramento
    Salah Son Fernandes Bowen Ramsey
    Broja Dennis Weghorst

    Tricky lineup questions & transfers.

    A) Sell Digne or Cancelo?
    B) Fernandes > Fraser or Willock (other?)
    C) Weg or Dennis out for Adams?

    And whether you wouldn't bother with some moves? Who to bench?

    I'm getting in Kane next week, hence a cheaper replacement for Fernandes.

    1. GK
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      A) Hold both, if you can
      B) Willock, or Coutinho!?
      C) Weg out

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        A) No CHE defender. Its a must.
        B) Coutinho too pricy. Have Ramsey ready.
        C) Thanks, though he has more DGWs.

  7. _____JR_____
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Updated FH team from some of your advice.

    Sa

    TAA Rudiger Cancelo T Silva

    Raphinha Salah Coutinho Willock

    Kane Adams

    Better?

    1. George James
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Not bad and similar to mine but I am going without TAA and cancelo

  8. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Why is Tierney more popular than White? Very few points in it and White is a lot cheaper.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      More attacking

    2. Sam (Team Sam)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Attacking potential

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      White was an MVP earlier this season for me.

  9. FC Hakkebøf
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Is Hwang nailed?

    1. _Ninja_
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      No but should start 1 this week

    2. Sam (Team Sam)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Not fully, but I'm risking it on wildcard.

      Quite happy to bench most weeks

    3. marcos11
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      No not definite

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

      Nope

    5. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Seems horrible pick to me

    6. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Ouch!

  10. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Which is better to get ?

    A- T.Silva & Vardy
    B- James & Laca
    with Son and Dubravka Would my BB for this GW

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      🙁

  11. marcos11
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Alonso or Silva?

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Silva as surely more nailed

      1. GK
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        This

    2. No Kane No Gain
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Alonso if chasing. Why not, could haul big.

  12. Royal5
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Salah will be a good differential cap this week.

    1. Qaiss
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Do you also love vanilla ice cream?

  13. GK
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Grateful for any thoughts on this please.

    1ft 3.7m ITB. WC, BB and 2 x FH all intact
    Current team is:
    Ramsdale
    Cancelo Digne Livra TAA
    Son Ramsey Saka Luiz
    Jimenez Dennis

    DDG Ronaldo Bowen Mee*

    Shall I deploy a chip, or fix it with 2-3 transfers this GW?

    If I do go for a hit, I’m thinking Ronaldo & Mee > Broja & Rudiger (-4). Salah in next week.

  14. THFC4LIFE
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Cancelo KWP Weghorst to Rudiger Digne Lacazette worth a -8 on BB?

    1. GK
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Yes, sounds good

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Keep Cancelo vs United surely

  15. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Hardest captain decision this week! Really struggling between salah and my DGW players!!

    1. tibollom
      • 9 Years

      1. GK

        This

  18. Giovanni Giorgio
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    WC Final

    Sa - Dubravka
    TAA - White - Kilman - James - Rudiger
    Salah - Raph - Ramsey - Saka - Willock
    Kane - Broja - Jimenez

    Enough money ITB to do Willock --> Maddison in 30.
    Pretty template yes?

  19. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Is Rodrigo an option under new manager?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      He is still Rodrigo.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      If he can magically become a consistent goal scorer.

    3. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Ok then, thanks both

  23. jonnybhoy

    A) Cancelo, TSilva Jiminez
    B) James, Rudiger + TAA

      I think B

    2. Goodfeathers

      B

  24. Corona is not good 4 U

    Foster (de Gea)

  25. yellowbutton

    Start
    1. Hwang
    2. Cancelo
    3. Saka

  26. BIGREDDOG
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Regretting choosing Saka over Raphinha/Coutinho! Thoughts? I think I went safe and boring and could have done something a bit different and more explosive potentially.

    1. Henryyy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Think you did a good move there over next 3 GWs

  27. Henryyy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Would you BB this?

    Ramsdale(wat) - Saka (wat) Robbo(WHU) Laca(wat)

    And who would you C?

    A James
    B Raph

    Thanks!

    1. BIGREDDOG
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      Hmm.. I'd be really tempted. If you don't have your WC then I definitely would. Even without I might

      1. Henryyy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 12 months ago

        Cheers mate

    2. Tinfoil Deathstar
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 12 months ago

      I'm bench boosting similar, but White over Laca. I'd be even more inclined to in your position given Arsenal CS wipe-out won't damage your BB prospects unduly.

  28. upforgrabs
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Who do you think scores more across GW28-29?

    A) James + Rudiger (bur, nor, NEW)
    or
    B) Robertson (WHU, bha, ars) + Tierney (wat, LEI, LIV)

  29. Super AL9
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    Think it worth just captaining Salah this GW? Got 7 players with DGW, plus I’m thinking of using my bench boost.

    On the Punch and Judy
    Ramsdale, Laporte, Broja, Cancelo.

  30. Goodfeathers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 12 months ago

    I have no Chelsea and no Spurs. Who would you bring in this GW?

    A) James (-4)
    B) Kane (-4)
    C) Both (-8)
