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 â€˜Rate My Team’ tool available in the Premium Members Area.

      If you're willing to take a -8 hit I'd do KDB & Dennis > Kane & someone

      Good evening.

      Just KDB to Son.

      I was considering this but I've taken a hit already.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Mine. I'm guessing it's same as Az's, huh?

        1. Calculated Risks
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          Pretty much, not that it's a bad thing. Think you have Laca and he has Robbo

  4. tibollom
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    got 1 FT 1.1 ITB... what do you think?

    a. cancelo ESR to doherty and saka/kulu for -4
    b. foden to saka/kulu

    Rams
    TAA Cancelo Cash Coady White
    Salah Son Foden Bowen Esr

    Solid? Bench players / order right?

    Sa
    TAA Robbo Cancelo
    Salah Son Willock Saka Kulusevski
    Adams Maupay

    (Foster Rudiger Weg Amerty)

    (8 DGWers. FH30) …

    1. tibollom
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      yep looks good

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I'd probably play Rudiger over Maupay even tho he doubles up at home!

      Mind, he could score against Spurs.

      1. james 101
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Fair shout. I’m in two mins over it

    3. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Got to play Rudiger imo

  6. Piggs Boson
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I hope Bowen can get fit for the international break between GW30 and GW31. Was looking forward to seeing what he can do in an England shirt.

  7. Maulik88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Hey Tom,

    Dubravka
    TAA Robbo TSilva
    Salah(TC) Son Raph Saka
    Jimenez Laca Broja

    Sa Digne Kilman Ramsey

    Would you do:
    A) Silva + Ramsey > Doherty + Kulu (-4)
    B) Kilman + Son + Jimi > Doherty + Kulu + Kane (-8)
    C) Digne + Ramsey > Doherty + Martinelli (-8)

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

      I'm obviously not Tom, but I'd do C

      1. Maulik88
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Yea thinking on similar lines, like the look and Martinelli and he can outscore Kulusevski over the next 5 GWs

  8. james 101
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Start

    A. Rudiger
    B. Maupay

    1. james 101
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      (Chairman has a DGW)

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

      A

  9. KieranKA
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Play one:

    (A) Aït-Nouri
    (B) Broja
    (C) Livramento
    (D) King

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

  10. nanxun
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    1 ft
    0.9 itb
    only TC chip left (no FH for GW30)

    Sa
    TAA - White - Rudiger
    Salah (TC) - Son - Saka - Coutinho - Raphinha
    Lacazette - Jimi

    (Foster - Digne - Broja - Kilman)

    GTG? or ...

    A. Rudiger --> Doherty
    B. Raph --> Kulusevski
    C. both A. and B. for -4

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

      I wouldn't make any transfers

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

        Thx for the input

  11. methos
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bench Boost: yay or nay?

    Sa-Foster
    TAA-Doherty-Livra-Cancelo-Amartey
    Salah-Kulu-Raphinha-Saka-Willock
    Kane-Broja-Adams

    Thx for any feedback! Would bench Foster-Livra-Broja-Amartey

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

      I'm wondering the same thing, but with Aït-Nouri instead of Amartey. I'm likely going to hold off.

  12. 420king
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is -12 crazy considering I have WC and FH left?

    Thinking Cancelo, Foden, Bowen and Brownhill to Doherty, Salah, Kulusevski and Saka to give me this team:

    Ddg
    TAA DOHERTY Digne
    SALAH SAKA KULUSEVSKI Coutinho Raphinha
    KANE Broja
    (Watkins Johnson Kilman)

    Also gives me 10 players with a game next week. Too much though?

    1. RogDog_jimmy
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      so 4 more fixtures this week and 2 more next?
      -12 for 6 fixtures....not crazy to me.

      1. 420king
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Good point.

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

      Personally…I would WC. You could build a team that works for GW29 and 30 (heavy Arsenal, Spurs, Wolves)

      1. 420king
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        GW30 is not an issue. I already have like 8 players and would have 10 with these transfers + 1 FT to get some more Arsenal/Wolves.

        I still have my BB left which I wanna use in 33/36, so saving WC makes sense.

  13. Under my Cucurella
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Trying to build a team for GW30 without using a FH currently have 6 outfield players without a fixture that gameweek * Would you transfer any out this GW or save FT?

    A: Cancelo > Doherty
    B: Rudiger > Doherty
    C: Liv > Davies
    D: Save FT
    E: Other suggestions?

    Sa
    *TAA *Cancelo White
    *Salah Saka Kulu Raph
    Kane Jimi *Broja

    Foster *Rudiger *Liv Ramsey

    1FT 0ITB

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

      D. Nothing would be worse than bringing in a player because they play in 30, then watching them get injured in 29.

      If you want a transfer to take advantage of DGW29, I'd lean towards C

  14. EL tridente
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bench 2:
    A) Digne
    B) Jimenez
    C) Watkins
    D) Broja

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

      Bench Digne and Broja

    2. El Presidente
      • 6 Years

      AB

  15. roach04
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    I gotta stay more on top of this so I can get Tom's advice!

    For the group... would you go:

    (a) Raphinha to Kulu
    (b) Coutinho to Kulu
    (c) Neither
    (Note I still plan to FH in 30 so who plays doesn't matter!)

    Thx!

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

      C, personally

    2. El Presidente
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      C

  16. rozzo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Which striker to start?

    A). Broja
    B). Weghorst
    C). Dennis

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

      B > A > C

      1. El Presidente
        • 6 Years

        A

  17. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Won’t a Rudiger vs NEW do better than White LEI/LIV ? Or is the cumulative two games likely to bring in more? Interested in your thinking.

    1. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Hard to know, wouldn't surprise me too see Newcastle score at Chelsea with the way they have been playing

      1. bso
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks mate

    Rams. bach
    White Coady TAA Cancelo Cash
    salah foden bowen son esr
    dennis dcl gobbins

    I only have 1 FT and 1.1 ITB... What would you do?

    a. foden > saka
    b. cancelo + ESR > doh + Saka/kulu for -4
    c. bowen + ESR > Kulu + Saka for -4

    1. Honker Muddlefoot
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Think I’d lean towards C. Bowen out this week and possibly next, ESR likely benched, and City have nice fixture with Palace. Trust Spurs and Arsenal for attacking returns in their next three more than I trust Spurs to keep clean sheets/not rotate Doherty.

  19. Shteve
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    What's the story with the Cancelo flag? Likely to be okay for Palace game?

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      He’s “ill” which presumably means covid, but was long enough ago he may be fine for this week, as far as I can tell at least

      1. Shteve
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        OK, thanks

      2. El Presidente
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        He does not have covid

        1. Shteve
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 9 months ago

          So he's just ill?

  20. Redranger
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    After a disaster GW, which moves you do? 0.7 ITB

    Ramsdale Gunn
    TAA Cancelo Rudiger Bednarek Saiss
    Salah Jota Son Saka Bowen
    Dennis Broja Weghorst

    A) Bowen > Kulu

    Kane (C) Jimi

    Dubravka Cash Chalobah Geraldht

    0 ITB

  22. jack88
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Would you play raphinha or doherty (-4)?

    1. Shteve
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Once last hurrah for Raph

  23. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Cancelo. Chances he starts this week?

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Difficult to say. Pep was very vague about the "illness".

      I think I'm going to gamble on him being fit for Monday.

  24. Dollyems15
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Is this worth the bench boost this week?
    Ramsdale
    TAA, Robertson, Romero, Tierney
    Kusulevski, Salah, Gordon, saka
    Kane, Richarlison

    Subs
    Sanchez, Rudiger, Raphina, Adams

  25. Firminooooo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Leicester defender for 30. Who would you bring in. Will Justin be ready or go for Thomas?

    1. chaser123
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Amartey?

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        With Fofana back he is likely dropped.

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Schmeichel is the best choice… Justin, Ricardo and Thomas could share the full back minutes. I’d fancy Justin if he keeps starting. Fofana should be back this weekend, he’s fit but missed the last game as he tested positive.

      1. Firminooooo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks. Maybe a punt on Justin.

  26. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who scores more this gw?
    A) Doherty Martinelli (-4)
    B) Kulu Jimenez

  28. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 5 Years

    What to do with this horror show?

    de Gea (Foster)
    Alexander-Arnold, van Dijk, White, Rüdiger, Cancelo
    Salah, Saka, Coutinho (Bowen) (Ramsey)
    Jimenez, Adams (Dennis)

    1 free transfer and 3.2 in the bank.

    Thanks!

  29. Dogs Of War
    • 4 Years

    Is bench boosting Mendy, Weghorst, Coutinho, Digne a good idea?

  30. Cognitive Dissonance
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bowen for Kulusevski or Martinelli? Have Saka and Son.
