The deadline for Blank Gameweek 30 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is 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.

    To put it this way, considering TAA misses GW30, very likely misses GW31, has city in GW32 and probs only a single match against United in GW33 - is it ok to lose him this week for Cash? Adds an extra GW30 player

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      why would he miss 31?

      1. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 20 days ago

        Because of his hamstring injury

    2. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      Yes

    3. tokara
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      Not for me, Villa afterwards have difficult games. Taa to james next gw is better

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      or he could play 30 and united isn't a difficult game. Two ways to think about it but nobody knows whether the injury is real or not

      1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 20 days ago

        *31

      2. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 20 days ago

        Well he certainly won't play 30, but guess there is a chance for GW 31. But given that his "target" has been set to GW32, and that they have CL right after Watford, it seems pretty unlikely he starts that one.

      3. FPL Emu
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 20 days ago

        Why would they fake that injury btw? He's not exactly been an England mainstay?

    5. The Mentaculus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      Viable strategy in theory but I dont really want any more defenders playing this week going forward personally, would rather just switch him to James / Robbo

    6. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      Why is it "very likely" he misses 31? Klopp says he is out for "weeks" which doesn't necessarily mean more than 2 and no mention of the grade of the hamstring injury.

    7. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      Lose him, but not for Cash.. difficult fixtures coming up.

  2. Malinwa
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    Best move? (1FT)
    a) Jota+Dennis > Coutinho+Toney -4
    b) Jota+Livra > Coutinho+Coady -4
    c) Other?

    Lloris
    Doherty - White
    Kulu - Saka - Raph
    Laca

    Foster - TAA - Rudiger - Salah - Jota - Livra - Dennis

    1. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      I'd be tempted do to all three transfers actually.

      Coady's expected value for the Leeds match is probably around 4, and he is a better long term keep anyway.

      The less said about Dennis, the better

      1. Malinwa
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 20 days ago

        cheers

  3. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    Which transfers to make?

    a) Mount to Barnes/Maddison
    b) Mount + Broja to Martinelli + Lacazette -4
    c) Mount + Broja to Barnes/Maddison + Toney -4

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      Save, Chelsea vs Bre next

      1. JBG
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 20 days ago

        Should have written, that I'm planning to bring Mount back in for Coutinho.

        1. tokara
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 20 days ago

          Ok, good luck i not sure if I would make the move

          1. JBG
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 20 days ago

            Ok, thanks for the feedback yet again Tokara. Apprieciate it :).

  4. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    How is this FH team looking?

    Sá (Schmeichel)
    Saïss Pereira Reguilón (Cash, Tierney)
    Son Maddison ESR Coutinho (Eriksen)
    Lacazette Jiménez Kane(C)

  5. NumberSix
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    Going mad looking for a smart Leic defender move. Planning BB GW33 so leic smart for those two games over Wolves.

    But is there anyone reliable?

    1. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      Pereira seems flavour of the week, I'm worried he doesn't get 90 mins. Currently starting him as third defender over Cash/Saiss.

  6. Mozumbus
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    Is Amartey nailed?

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      not at all

      im hoping he gets a game this week tho

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 20 days ago

        Thanks

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      not nailed but should play this week

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 20 days ago

        Thanks

  7. Basic_
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    Kane (c)

    VC Jimenez or Son?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      Jimenez

    2. De Gea is GOAT
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      Jimi 100%

    3. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      you wont need your vc this week

      son anyway

    4. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      jimenez to spread the risk fully

    5. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      Son

  8. De Gea is GOAT
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    Hey guys please help me out here. 2 options:

    A) Salah to Maddo/Barnes (Most likely get Mo back for Watford)

    B) Raph to Maddo Barnes (Play 8 instead of 9 this GW)

    Sar
    Kilman Doherty Robbo*
    Raph Coutinho Kulu Saka Salah*
    Kane (c) Adams

    Foster Rudi VVD Broja

  9. threeputt
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    gw30 players: (8)

    martinez
    tierney white
    saka son (c) kulusevski (vc)
    antonio jimenez

    no gw30:
    foster, dalot, hoever, TAA, salah, jota, king

    £0.1 itb, only obvious affordable xfrs I can see are Johnson (tot) or Amartey (BRE) for Hoever, I'm thinking a saved transfer might be a good move ready for dgw 33 ? I do have WC, FH & BB available but see those in GWs 35,36,37

    Thoughts please ?

  10. GS456
    • 10 Years

    Would you FH?

    This is with a -8

    Ramsdale

    Barnes, Saka, Ramsey, Son
    Kane (C)

  11. Oggle22

    Anything worth a transfer or roll it

    Ramsdale
    White Doherty
    Saka Kulu Ramsey
    Kane(c)

    Sa James Mount Rudi Taa Salah Richarlison Richards

    Cheers

    A'noon all. Best mid for this gw? Have no Leics or villa.

    A - Barnes
    B - Maddison
    C - Coutinho

    Ta!

    Where are the pressers? Everyone having lunch?

  14. OffsidePenalty
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    Worth downgrading 2nd GK(ddg) and upgrade Gray for -4 to get 1 more starter (from 8 to 9).

  15. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    Afternoon...team for this weekend is

    Ramsdale
    DIGNE* Reguilon
    Son (C) Coutinho Saka Raphina

    Subs TAA Lamptey Salah Sanchez Cancelo Broja Weg Dennis

    ....great I know...so options are

    A Dennis/Salah to Kane(C)/Barnes (-4)
    B Dennis to Toney
    B Dennis to Jimi

  16. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    On FH. Thoughts on below XI?

    Sa
    Regulion Cash Ait-Nouri
    Son Coutinho Maddison Martinelli
    Kane Jimenez Toney

    Toying with Regulion over Kulu due to weakness on West Ham flank, but also defensive options this week aren't great. RAN over other Wolves defenders as Leeds weak on his flank. Jonny allows him to push up.

    Sa
    Cash Saiss Ait-Nouri
    Son Coutinho Kulu Maddison Martinelli
    Kane Toney

    Or something like this, with triple Wolves defense :s Bench would include Laca, Pereira etc.

    1. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      I'm on something similar like your B option, defence is really not appealing this week for any team so might as well push all of my chips to the Wolves table. Also somehow not sure on either of the Leicester mids so went with Kulu instead of them (triple spurs attack)

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 20 days ago

        Cheers for the reply. I feel I'm more likely to go five in midfield as Kulu returning would hurt me more than a Spurs defender (also the Spurs defensive data is really quite poor over the last few, believe it or not.)

        Good luck!

    Can i get away with saving my ft here? have 10 but a few could miss out. On the other hand, most of the options this gw are miserable and players i wouldn't want in my team for long

    Sa
    Doh White Amartey

    How nailed is Davies?

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      Seems like he will play 95% of the time when fit.

    Would you save the free hit here?

    I want to play them in the double gamesweeks, even though I have a few of the doublers already.

    I don't think it's worth it this week for an extra 2 defenders.

  20. Ha.

    TAA and Broja > Coady and Lacazette (-4) ?

    Hi All.
    I have 7 players this week, with 1x FH, WC, BB chips left.

    Options:
    A) Play 7 (keep Foden for Burnley next week.
    B) Foden and J.King -> Barnes and Jiminez (-4) - For 9 Players.
    C) Foden -> Maddison, J.King -> Antonio (-4) just different picks.

    Cheers!

  26. klopptimusprime

    whos going to play, Ait-Nouri or Marcal

  27. Malinwa
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    choose 1:
    a) Coady
    b) Toney

  28. JBG
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    The TAA news are so vague... Hate it, couple of weeks can mean anything. Isn't worth selling for Pereira for example right? Specially with no WC left.

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 20 days ago

      Not worth it

  29. Radzio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 20 days ago

    Those without Kane, what are you doing?Bringing in for hits or hoping he will not go mad?

    My options are:

    a)Son+Jimenez->Kulu+Kane -4

    b)Son+Broja+Digne(if out) ->Amartey+Kulu+Kane -8

    I kinda like B, gives 2 more players(if Amartey plays). Already don't have BB and WC, so Amartey would be good to have on bench anyway. Not the best week to take -8 though.

  30. Pointless

    Ait Nouri, Saiss, Coady? Who’s the best Wolves defender for attacking points?
