The final international break of the season is over and the deadline for Double Gameweek 31 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is little more than a day away.

The questions on transfer dilemmas or chip strategy are coming thick and fast in the comments section 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.

    Hi, thoughts on going TAA and Kilman to James and Cancelo (already have Robbo). I’ll likely go Jiminez to Gelhardt next week, fh33 then get TAA back 34.
    Or just keep TAA and go either James or Cancelo this week alongside Jim to Gelhardt. I’m not sure either way!

    Hiya all - 0.2 ITB and wildcard active, what changes would you make?? Just replaced Dennis with Cucho… Get Weghorst? Replace Ramsdale?

    Ramsdale* (Foster)
    Robertson Cancelo James* Roberts(DGW) (Livramento)
    Salah Foden Saka Kulu (Martinelli)
    Kane Broja (Cucho)

    Thanks:)

    * 0 FT (-4 already this week)
    * 0.9 ITB
    * BB, FH Remaining
    * Don’t have significant money tied up with any one player
    * Thinking about using BB in DGW33 (8 players currently have doubles)

    Jonny needs to go at some point before DGW33
    I’d like to get Bruno in for DGW33 (via Son)
    Wouldn’t mind replacing Odegaard

    Odegard -< Lennon (has DGW33)
    Odegaard -> Gordon (has DGW31, doesn’t have DGW33
    Jonny -> Tierney (has DGW33, projects higher than Jonny this week)

    What do you think?

    TAA BACK IN FULL TRAINING

    All moves on hold !

    1. TopBinFC

      Yeehawwww

    2. Root
      • 14 Years

      Damn. Already sold him for Jonjoe Kenny for a hit.

    Sa - (Gunn)
    Robbo - Thiago Silva - Doherty - Tierney - (TAA)
    Son - Raphinha - Saka - Kulusevski - (Ramsey)
    Lacazette - Broja - Jimenez

    6.9 ITB and 1 free transfer. Considering Son/Jimenez/TAA to Salah/Kane/Cancelo for -8. Only issue is it's short term and leaves me with money too spread to get back to multiple City/Chelsea assets later.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      I think it's instructive that the word is hamstring complaint, not injury!!

      The defender was ruled out of the Reds’ last outing – the Emirates FA Cup quarter-final win at Nottingham Forest – due to a hamstring complaint, which subsequently forced him to withdraw from international duty with England.

    2. boc610
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      he'll play benfica midweek and city , on bench tomorrow.

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I disagree, I cant see Klopp taking any chances of the threat of dropping points. TAA will start and if LFC are 2/3-0 up he will get managed.

        1. boc610
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          just dont see it. its watford. im a pool fan and it would be madness to play him in this fixture with the games we have

      2. ZimZalabim
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        id agree with that but I think he might get a few mins at the end maybe 20-25 to get some match fitness

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I don't know what to do. He says it's tight but the intensity of rehab means he should be well able for tomorrow and mentions the possible need for rhythm. Then says he "thinks" should be ready for City.

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        i wouldnt sell him now if thats what ur asking

      2. boc610
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        do you not think klopp is talking about making the matchday squad? its not about starting at this stage, its availability

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah but at this stage and considering the opposition I don't see the point in him being on the bench. Either he feels he's ready and wants him to start and to get rhythm before this big run of important games or he wants to rest him. I don't see any point in him coming on for 10-20 mins.

    4. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Clearly starts tomorrow

      1. boc610
        • 14 Years

        lol

      2. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He won't be risked against rubbish Watford not with 9 crucial matches crammed into April

    5. Sterling Archer
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      get the feeling this could be the most obvious faking an injury to miss an international friendly ever!

    6. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years

      Opinions seem to vary based on whether you own him or not

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Everyone has Trent so not really

    7. Bada Bing
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Benching TAA feels wrong, but if I play him he might get a dreaded one point cameo. Oh what to do... It's between him or Burnley's Roberts for the starting spot for me.

  8. antis0cial
    • 10 Years

    Any Obvious moves here? 1ft 0itb, 2xFH and BB left.

    For pope in :
    A. Ramsdale
    B. Dubravka

  11. Pukkipartyy
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Are we benching Broja? Southampton fans do u expect him to start?

  12. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Which one would you have?
    Probably for GWs31&32 as wanna FH33 and WC34.

    1) Foster, Rudiger, Havertz (Selling TAA, benching Ramsdale and Broja)

    2) Pope, Weghorst, Broja (Keeping TAA)

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      1 but with the news I'd probably want to keep TAA

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, some big headache

  13. Traction Engine Foot
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Start one:

    A Lamptey
    B Antonio

    1. antis0cial

      Antonio

    2. Atimis

      Antonio maybe

  14. Arteta

    Which two would you start out of Raphinha, Eriksen and Toney?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)

      4 years, 1 month ago

      Raphinha and Toney

      1. Marty McFly

    3. Arteta

      Cheers lads!

  15. BBC_TF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do Jimenez + Ramsey -> Havertz + Gelhardt -4?

    My mid is Son/Barnes/Raph/Havertz/Saka right now so I dont expect Gelhardt to play much.

    Kane/Laca are my other strikers. Despite the DGW, I am not convinced Weghorst has a high ceiling vs a stronger mid like Havertz or Mount.

    Thinking of holding onto TAA given recent news.

  16. Gazwaz80

    5 subs next season will make FPL extremely spicy 🙂

    Best £5.9m budget Mid on a WC?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Trossard

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        martinelli

    2. Marty McFly
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Martinelli is the best value I think

  18. Marty McFly
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I’m chasing a 70pt gap on my rival and I’m on a WC. Is this too much rotation risk?

    James
    Martinelli
    Havertz

    My bench will typically be Cucho, Mateta, Roberts (dgw dependant obviously).

  19. MJF
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Those comments on Trent are the reason waiting until as near to the deadline as possible is usually the right thing to do, I suppose.

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        created more confusion than anything 😀

      2. Catastrophe
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Always best to wait of course, but how many 'wrong' decisions get made with too much information? 🙂 he could still be benched.

      3. Marty McFly
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I still think I’ll sell tbh.

    • SpaceCadet
      • 12 Years

      Anything you would change in this wc team? BB in gw 33.

      Dubravka Maddison white cucho

      1. Marty McFly
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Weghorst is a trap

    • Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Which do you prefer over the next three GWs?

      A) TAA (WAT, mci, MUN) & Fraser (tot, WOL, LEI, CPL)
      B) James & Havertz (BRE, sou, ARS)

      Edging towards B with the risk that TAA is benched against Watford? Also already have Robertson.

      Cheers

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        B could get benched vs Southampton though

        1. Catastrophe
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers - yep, always possible.

      2. Marty McFly
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I’m currently on B but there’s a huge rotation risk for gw32 with Chelsea IMO.

        1. Catastrophe
          • 15 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Cheers. Yeah, difficult one to weigh up. Should probably expect one of them get benched in 32, but may still be the better option.

          1. Marty McFly
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Havertz’s min/xgi is really high. Even off the bench he’s dangerous. The safer option is to ditch one (or both) for Mount/Rudiger who look more nailed. But if you’re chasing points the higher ceiling is probably worth the gamble on rotation risk.

            1. Catastrophe
              • 15 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Cheers. I already have Havertz, I'd be getting James in. Could always go Rudiger for safety?

              1. Marty McFly
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                I think it’s down to your appetite for risk. I’m chasing 70pts vs my rival, so James seems the more appropriate option.

      I have 2 x FH left and 1FT for this week.

      Obvious shout is Jimenez to someone but then who do I replace him with as a starter?? Hold FT?

      1. Marty McFly

          I don't have Weg or Adams... Therefore, is there any point getting rid of Jime if I can't upgrade team??

          1. Marty McFly
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

      Guys. Help me decide between Mount and Havertz. I want Havertz but I am convinced that he may get rotated in the PL with Lukaku and Werner as CFC will chase Champs League and I feel Mount is more nailed and the stats between the two are almost identical ??

      Mount or Havertz ??

      With the Trent news, does Kilam > Cancelo now become a no brainer for free?

      means I play:

      Ramsdale
      Cancelo / Rudiger / Doherty / Trent
      Coutinho / Salah / Raphinha / Saka / Kulusevski
      Kane (C)

      Dubravka / Wood / Broja / White

      0.6m ITB and 2Ft's going into next week

      1. MannionUK
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years

        Trent won't start. 100%

        1. ShaunGoater123
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          I mean more that if he has a chance for this week then no need to trasnfer him out. he might come on for a 1 pointer i guess but more about not taking him out and then scrabbling to get back at some point.

          Alternatvie would have been moving TAA on for Cancelo

          1. Hutchiniho
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            This is it.
            I was thinking Laporte and moving some money to Havertz.

            But that would take some unwinding later ITS

          2. Marty McFly
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I think the other premium defenders offer better value than trent at this point. Personally my team looks better balanced without Trent so I think I’m going without.
