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

    What's the latest on Raphinha? Reference covid rumours

        Ok, thanks

    Does Trent start v Watford? If anything it's a game where Klopp can rest him ready for the champ league game and busy schedule. Just thinking he might be worth selling this week:

    2 April - Watford
    5 April - Benfica (away)
    10 April - Man City (away)
    13 April - Benfica
    16 April - Villa
    19 April - Man Utd

    1. Drop Dead Tsimikas

      Trent's out for multiple weeks.

      1. Drop Dead Tsimikas
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        And by "multiple" I doubt Klopp means "two".

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      I presume no (if he is actually injured). No point in risking him vs. Watford.

  3. ArseneAllTheWay
    • 12 Years

    Willock + Broja > 4.5 mid playing this week + Toney (-4)....

    Yay or nay?

    Bachman to Schmeichel for a hit for this week and beyond. Yes or No?
    Foster is the other GK

    1. royals forever
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Yes

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Thanks

    2. Sarri-ball
      • 16 Years

      If no wildcard yes xould you go ramsdale?

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Have got WC intact. I think Aston villa will score.

  9. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Are these nine players enough for GW30

    Ramsdale

    White Kilman

    Saka Kuluveski Ramsey Barnes

    Kane Jimenez

    or should I take a -4 to get rid of one of Digne, Rudiger, Keane, Salah, Dennis as well

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      GTG

    2. sulldaddy
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Id consider selling Keane.
      Can you get Doherty?
      A -4 hit is really a -2 of you sell a zero and bring in a player with a game

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Keane has a DGW right away so it's not worth imo

  10. jaywills
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    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) - no hit...
    B) Broja -> Toney - For 8 Players - no hit...
    C) Foden and J.King -> Barnes and Jiminez (-4 hit) - For 9 Players.

    Cheers!

    Any news on hwang?

    1. RobboKop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Sounds like he's recovered as Large said in his presser yesterday that only 3 players were out: Semedo, Hoever and Neto. Didn't mention Hwang so gotta assume he is fit.

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 12 Years

        Cheers bro

  15. Maddamotha

    Reguilon or Doherty on a FH?

    1. GreennRed
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Reguilon.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Regulion, this week.

      1. mcsteely
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Sessegnon out for at least 4 weeks. Reg this week and beyond

  16. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    TAA and King>Coady and Jimenez (-4)?

    1. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      I'd do

  17. GreennRed
    • 14 Years

    https://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/Premier+League

    This is usually fairly up-to-date search by players or use team menus.

  18. DARE TO BISCAN
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Think I'm saving my FH. Leaves:

    Doherty
    Ramsey, Kulu, Son, Saka
    Jimi

    (Pope, Sanch, TAA, Rudi, Robbo, Cucu, Salah, Broj, Weg 2.0)

    a) Cucu > Coady
    b) Son, Broj > Martinelli, Kane (-4), then TAA, Saka > James, Havertz next GW?

    Would prefer to do Son, Jimi > Hav, Kane next GW.

    1. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      b

  19. Mozumbus
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Is Thomas nailed?

    1. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      No

    2. DARE TO BISCAN
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Thomas?

      1. Mozumbus
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Leicester defender

        1. Belli2007
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 25 days ago

          The only risk to this is if Brenda decides to play Justin left back as he can play both flanks. Thomas has played a lot of games but Brenda likes the link up between Thomas, Dewsbury Hall and Barnes so he may leave it be

            • 4 Years

            Thanks a bunch

  20. MannionUK
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    I have this team. 2 x FT in the bank.

    Ramsdal
    Diet, Doherty
    Coutinho, Martinelli, Raph
    Kane (c) Rodrigo

    Robbo, Havertz, Broja, Dubravka, Salah, Rudiget, Holgate

    If Raph out...

    Raph to Saka or keep transfer?

    1. Reacher
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Keep

    2. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      You have two FTs, right?

      1. MannionUK
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Sorry, 2 free hits. 1 FT

    3. sulldaddy
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      If you have 2 FT, you gotta use one or lose it.
      TBH id sell Raph either way for Saka

    https://twitter.com/TheSpursExpress/status/1504818384285974528

    Sessegnon out for at least 4 weeks. Reckon that makes Regulion a better pick for this week and beyond?

  22. adams2318
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Best Leicester defender for gw30 and then to cover upcoming doubles:
    a) Thomas
    b) Amartey
    c) Fofana
    Thanks

    1. Reacher
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      D, Pereira if you have the funds

      1. Belli2007
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Or Justin

    2. adams2318
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Thanks but no funds for any others. An option is to double up on Spurs with Davies (already have Doherty) but not keen long term with that, no WC.

      1. Reacher
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 25 days ago

        Amartey then, cheap as chips

  23. Reacher
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Afternoon guys,

    A Cash & Coutinho

    Or

    B, Cash & Jiminez

    Plus should the defender be Periera over cash with doubles in mind?

    Any advice appreciated

  24. Lennox142320
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    My team: Ramsdale, Kilman, Doherty, Raphinha, Kulu, Martinelli, Ramsey, Kane (C), Jimenez
    Bench/not playing- Mendy, Digne, Salah, Broja, Robbo, TAA.
    I’ve already done JWP to Kulu. If Raph is out would you suggest Raph to Barnes/Saka for a -4 to keep me at 9 players? I’ll likely FH33.

  25. RossoneriHammer
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    FH team?

    Ramsdale
    Tierney Saiss Coady
    Son Kulu Coutinho Saka
    Kane Toney Jimenez

  26. jimmy.floyd
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Reguilon or Doherty on FH?

  27. Golazo1357
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    GW30 Squad on a -4:
    Foster, Cash, White, Son, Barnes, Coutinho, Saka, Kulu, Laca, Kane

    Who to captain?

    Drop TAA with his injury news for a -8?

    Using the WC next week as I dropped Salah for the blank this week.

  28. LeicesterA
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    I have 7 players for this week. I’m thinking to save FH and just bring in a couple for some hits. HOWEVER... I don’t have Kane and can’t get him without major changes. On that basis, is FH worth it?

  29. PScholes18
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Which Leicester defender to bring in for Digne? No FH and will be stuck with the one i choose to WC in GW35.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Soyuncu or Fofana, imo

    2. Hooky
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 25 days ago

      Could be a lot or rotation with Castagne and Evans also due back soon. Fofana is a great defender if he's 100% fit

  30. Twisted Saltergater
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 25 days ago

    Best midfielder to bring in? Considering shipping Mahrez.
