The deadline for Double Gameweek 29 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 chip strategy 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.

    Raphinha to Saka -4

    1. Super John McGinn-
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Yes

    2. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Yes.

      I'm wondering if I should domtbe same but for Jota

    3. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Definitely.

      I did Gallagher + Dennis to Saka + Hwang for a hit.

    4. Monty123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      yes

    5. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Si

  2. Cheeto__Bandito
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Calvert Lewin over Lacazette for people with no wildcard? Lotta Everton fixtures to be rearranged

    1. Ginger Pele
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Not for me. I would want to see dcl start to show any kind of form before I would think about getting him in, regardless of how many doubles he might get.

  3. Super John McGinn-
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Any other moves worth it?

    De Gea
    TAA, Cancelo*, Rudiger, Livramento
    Salah (C), Son, Foden, Saka, Martinelli
    Jimenez

    Foster, Weghorst, Dennis, Ait Nori

    1.5 ITB 0 FT

    A) Foden + Jimenez > Gordan + Kane (-8)
    B) Cancelo > Robbo (-4)
    C) Ait Nori > Doherty (-4)
    D) De Gea > Ramsdale (-4)

    1. Ginger Pele
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      C looks good to me

  4. Faz4853
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Play Jimenez or Raphina?

    1. iL PiStOlErO
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Jimbo

    2. Ginger Pele
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Raphina. Playing Norwich.

  5. Bobby's Teeth

    Hi Tom,

    Really wanted to use BB this GW (WC in GW28), but would need to make transfers. Any suggestion for this lot?

    Ramsdale

    White TAA Cancelo

    Saka Salah Willock Raphina

    Kane Jimi Broja

    Bench: Dubravka Ramsey James Kilman

    What do you reckon? 2FH chips in hand - want to use them in GW33 and 36. For this GW, thinking the following moves (1 FT):

    1. James --> Doherty
    2. Ramsey --> Kulu (-4)

  6. FPL ElasticO
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Will you BB this team?

    Ramsdale / Dubravka
    Cancelo / Robbo / TAA / Digne / Coady
    Salah / Saka / Kulu / Raphinha / Gordon
    Kane / Jimenez / Broja

    1. Devos
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      No, wait till GW36 or a better bench.

  7. vandebeek
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Dubravka, Saiss, Ait Nouri, Broja on the bench. Should I Benchboost? Also, Havertz is on my starting 11. Just really worried about Broja and havertz (and one of wolves defenders) minutes.

    1. Devos
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      No, wait till GW36 or a better bench.

  8. Devos
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Current team (2.5 ITB)

    Foster
    TAA* / Robertson* / Burn* / Cash
    Salah* / Son* / Saka / Mount / JWP
    Weghorst
    B: DDG / Cancelo / Broja / Dennis

    Already used my FT. Going to FH in GW30 and WC in GW31. So what would you do with this team for 1 gameweek only?

    a) GTG
    b) JWP > Kulusevski or ARS mid (-4)
    c) Weghorst > Laca (-4)
    d) DDG > Pickford/Lloris/Ramsdale (-4)
    e) other
    f) multiple transfers of the above

    Thanks for you input!

  9. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Cancelo - > Robertson (-4).
    Yes or no?

    1. Devos
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Yes on short term, but are you going to get Cancelo back later on?

      1. FF Dirtbag
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Likely to yes. I have got Laporte as well but not the funds to get him to Robertson

  10. iL PiStOlErO
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    GTG or do some -4? Also TC on Mo or Kane?

    Dubravka
    TAA T.Silva White Cancelo
    Salah Saka Wilock Gordon
    Kane Adams

    Mendy Jimenez Kilman Gordon

    1. Devos
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      You have two Gordons?

      1. iL PiStOlErO
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Oh God no, haha. Bench Gordon is Ramsey

        1. Bobby's Teeth
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 days ago

          Some Hell's Kitchen stuff going on there 😉

  11. Monty123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Repost:

    Would you sell Son for Salah and then Bowen to Kulu/Saka this week for -4? I have Kane.

    1. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Certainly the Bowen part yes. Not sure about -4 to get Salah in

      1. Monty123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        That's my thinking, but Son has looked off the pace, as has Salah to be fair but he is the more explosive

    2. KieranKA
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Are you planning to FH30?

      If yes, 100%
      If no, I probably still would

      1. Monty123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        No, will have 9 for GW30 without a hit

  12. KieranKA
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Nothing in the bank, 1FT – what would you do?

    Sánchez² // Foster
    Trent² Cancelo Rüdiger Livramento // Aït-Nouri
    Salah² Son² Saka² Raphinha // Bowen*
    Jiménez Broja // King

    Current plan is Bowen to Martinelli for free.
    Chip plan: FH30, WC33, considering BB29

  13. cheese XL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Best option here please.

    Sa
    TAA White Rudiger
    Salah Son Saka Havertz Coutinho
    Lacazette Broja

    Foster, Coady, Digne, Jiminez
    1ft, 0.2itb

    A) save ft
    B) Rudiger ➡️ Doherty
    C) Son, Jiminez ➡️ Kane, Kulisevski (-4)
    D) something else

    Thanks in advance

    1. KieranKA
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      My choice would be A. If you want another DGWer, Digne to Tierney

      1. KieranKA
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Or Digne to Doherty if you prefer

        1. cheese XL
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 3 days ago

          Would have to be Doherty, already got 3 arsenal. Thanks

  14. Jebiga
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Ward-Prowse and T. Silva to Robbo and Gordon worth a - 4 hit?

  15. Steve McCroskey
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Is everyone looking to shift Raphina because Leeds are bobbins or is there something I'm missing?

    1. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      I guess so

    2. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Keeping Raphinha for Norwich because they are equally bad as Leeds and then for Wolves so I have 11 players

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

      Basically. I'm giving him another week since its Norwich & have other priorities

  16. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Is Laca fit after the photos mid week?

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

      Arteta "hopes so!"

      1. g40steve
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Ta

  17. MikeNash404
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Is White > Doherty/Reg worth a -4 hit?

    If so, Doherty/Reguilon?
    Conscious that Doherty may not play both games. Will Reg play both?

    1. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Not for -4. Keep white

      1. Earn your Spurs
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        This ^

    2. KieranKA
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      White will play two, can't guarantee with the Spurs defenders

      1. MikeNash404
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Cheers, I'll keep White

  18. Sailboats
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Play De gea or Foster? Both are bad, but which one is less bad ?

    1. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      DDG to play

    2. KieranKA
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      DDG

    3. Sailboats
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Thanks both, i'll play DDG

  19. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Option A or B for -8?
    Cancelo,Bowen,Dennis >>
    A) Doherty,Gordon,Kane

    B) Doherty,Saka,Lacazette
    Option B gives me an extra player in 30 but no Kane.

    1. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      I'd do A

    2. KieranKA
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      A

  20. Earn your Spurs
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Pick 2 to play please

    a> Digne (whu)
    b> Coady (eve)
    c> Jimenez (eve)
    d> Antonio (AVL)
    e> Dennis (sou)

    At present I'm on b> and c>

    Thanks 🙂

    1. KieranKA
      • 4 Years

      CD (bench order BAE)

    2. The 12th Man

      Attackers.
      C and D

    3. Earn your Spurs
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Thanks to you both

  21. Feanor
    • 16 Years

    Pick one to start out of these three

    B)roja
    D)igne
    H)wang

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      N)one

    2. tbos83
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      B. Just.

    3. KieranKA
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      Broja

    4. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      B

  22. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Do you know if Broja's sub was tactical?

  23. tbos83
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Would you bb, gambling that Cancelo will start?

    Pope
    Doherty TAA Targett
    Salah Son Coutinho Raph Saka
    Broja Jimenez

    Foster Cancelo* Weghorst Livra

    1. KieranKA
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      I'd consider it. I might BB this week with a similar bench, simply because I'm planning for WC33 and not sure I want much money on my bench for the last few GWs

      1. tbos83
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 3 days ago

        Yeah. As ever with bb there's an appeal in just getting it done. But cancelo is a serious headache

  24. Nespinha
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Need some help guys, FH next week:

    Ramsdale
    TAA VVD Rudiger Cancelo
    JWP Coutinho Salah Foden
    Weghorst Broja
    subs - Sanchez, Watkins, Bowen, Mee

    A) Coutinho + Watkins --- Saka + Laca (-4)
    B) JWP + Watkins --- Gordon + Laca (-4, save cash)
    C) Foden + Coutinho --- Gordon + Son (-4)
    D) Coutinho --- Saka

    1. KieranKA
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      E: Bowen (injured) to Saka

  25. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    ​I can do James + Ramsey --> Doh + Kulu, but I also have Bowen...

    Should I just sell Bowen right now instead of Ramsey? Can afford to bench Bowen this week though so could just wait and see?

  26. West Hammered
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA VVD* Cancelo* Tierney
    Salah Soin* Saka Raph
    Dennis Jiminez
    Maddison King*Saiss

    A) VVD/Cancelo, Son & King to Dohertty Kulu Kane (Rumours VVD out with covid) -8
    B) VVD/Camcelo to Doherty
    C) Raphinha/Maddison to Kulu

    1. KieranKA
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 3 days ago

      B

  27. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Son or Kulusevski (plus other upgrades) on WC? Will have Kane also.

  28. NeverLucky
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Anyone else doing C on Son/Kane.

    90% will go Salah but with limited double gw options coming up and trying to make lost points need to divert template C I think!

  29. Ibra_1254
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Worth selling broja for a hit for a striker

  30. Vote Joke
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 3 days ago

    Who do we think is more likely to accrue points this coming GW - Everton, Arsenal, Newcastle or Brighton? Spurs and Liverpool look like point haulers but the others I'm not so sure on.

    Arsenal: They're playing Liverpool. That likely means a clean sheet will not be had in one fixture and they're also unlikely to score too. So in essence, aren't we really looking for them to haul in one game, thus making it less of an appealing DGW for them?

    Brighton: Similar to Arsenal, but worse as they play Spurs as well as Liverpool. Why get them at all? We'd never get them if they were playing either of those teams.

    Everton: Their form is rank, but their fixtures look better than the above, with Newcastle and Wolves. Yet both these teams are on the up and Everton have no form players at all. So they seem like a really risky pick. They are the epitome of meh.

    Newcastle: They're on the up, true, but they play Chelsea who could be in disarray though that wasn't evident against Norwich. Other than that, it's Everton, who are clearly quite bad.

    So surely the only teams worth having players from from a DGW perspective are Liverpool, Spurs and Newcastle?
