It’s an early deadline for Gameweek 32 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL), which means that Friday is even busier than usual on the site.

The questions on transfer dilemmas and chip strategy are free-flowing in the comments section and so we’ve again 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 Tom, Weggie or Ødegaard this week, I know, I know 🙂

      I'd put Weghorst ever so slightly ahead, but see what Dyche says later on. If he hints at starts for Rodriguez/Vydra, you'll have your answer.

        Cheers AV, I agree but just doesn’t seem right as he’s been so crap…

    RMT says captain Bruno
    Stats say captain Kane.
    I’m torn, would it be outrages to captain Bruno?

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

      Capt Kane

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

      Bruno has a very good record against Everton and, well it's Everton so definitely not a bad idea. Personally I fine it hard to trust ManUtd assets no matter the opposition and Everton are actually a lot better at home (just 2 goals conceded in 4 games at Goodison under Lampard, including Leeds and City)

    3. marcos11
      • 5 Years

      Captain Kane

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yep, Everton slightly better at home, but only a teenie weenie weenie bit 😀

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

          They won't lose to United.

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

      Definitely Kane. Bruno 2pter incoming.

    Morning all. 2 FT + 0.5m ITB. Plan is WC35, BB36 & FH37 so need my team setup only until GW34. Who would be priority to get out? Want maddison but can only see Saka or Willock to come out?

    Ramsdale
    TAA - Rudiger - Doherty
    Foden - Saka - Son - Salah - Willock
    Antonio - Lacazette

    (Foster) - Broja - Lamptey - Livra

  5. MarkRenouf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    broja or cucho for run in - getting cucho would allow to get doherty

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

      Cuch

  6. Saintjack01
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you try and get zaha or Barnes in for kulu or Fraser?

    1. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kulu has amazing fixtures and has been ticking over quite nicely. I wouldn't get rid

  7. ajdmed
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years

    Hi Tom.
    Start:
    - Dubravka or Sa?
    - Fraser or Cucho?

  8. MarkRenouf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    one more question - play roberts or mateta this week ?

    1. marcos11
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Mateta

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

        cheers my thoughts too - despite everything hard to stop the hope that burnley will do something ;-]

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Roberts

  9. kellamergh
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Start TAA or Robertson?
    I don't fancy doubling up against Man City.

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

      TAA

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

        Cheers

  10. Gon Freecss
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Morning all! Any suggestions for this GW?

    I have two FTs

    Saa / Sanchez
    TAA / Lamptey / Rudiger / Cancelo / Doherty
    Salah / Mount / Saka / Kulu / Son
    Broja / Dennis / Weghorst

    Thanks!

  11. Saka White Rice
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    40 points behind leader and we have same chips left...should I feel discouraged?

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      then give up

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      yes

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      no dont be silly - 40 points is nothing

    4. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Only if you own Weghorst or maupay

    5. Well you know, Triffic
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If you pick different captains you can do it.

    6. Bobby Crush
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      very possible

      the last dgw captain choice was what gave our leader his 40 points gap

  12. artvandelay316
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you play Gabriel over Doherty, Rudiger, TAA or Cancelo this week only? If so, which?

    Cheers.

    1. tokara
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      maybe Rudi

    2. Super John McGinn-
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bench or Rudi

  13. Henning
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hello. Need some advice here.

    Pope
    TAA Doherty Rudiger
    Salah Maddison Saka Kulusevski Coutinho
    Kane Weghorst
    Dubravka Coady broja Tierny

  14. Super John McGinn-

    Foster, Dennis, Ait Nori, Livramento

    0.0 ITB 1 FT

    1. Ratatouille
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Lucky you

  15. as33
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Gordon or Fred to start?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Fred

  16. Redditor
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hey Tom! Best budget defender? Schar, Roberts, Fofana etc? Thanks!

  17. Offs!de
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hi Tom, Which option seems logical?
    1. Play Weghorst
    2. Transfer Coady to Gabriel; play Gabriel & bench Weghorst. Currently Coady on 1st sub

  18. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How does this look for a -4?

    Ait Nouri > Doherty
    Kulu > Odegaard
    Maupay > Nacho

    Would give me this team:

    Ramsdale
    Taa - Robbo - Cancelo - James - Doherty
    Salah - Son - Saka - Raph
    Nacho

    DDG - Weg - Odegaard - Broja

    1. Subzero (-4)
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Don’t see any reason to sell Kulu. He is nailed now in a team with everything to play for. Oodegard is a quality player but fpl wise pretty meh

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

        Yeah true, might just do the Maupay > Nacho move and reassess next week.

  19. marcos11
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    GTG or go Salah > Bruno with FT? Going to BB33 and FH either 36 or 37.

    Schmeichel
    Chalobah White Roberts
    Salah Havertz Maddison Saka Kulu
    Kane Weghorst
    Foster Mateta Robertson Cancelo

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

    FT: Coutinho > Maddison, GTG ?

    Foster
    TAA - Rudiger - White - Doherty
    Saka - Salah - Raph - Kulu
    Kane - Dennis

    Sanchez - Coady - Adams - Coutinho

  21. Tommyg
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years

    Is there still a set piece takers list on this site? If so where the monkeys is it?

      1. Tommyg
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you Bemba.

  22. kellamergh
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I'll have 6 DGW players for GW33.
    This is enough to hold off on playing a chip, right?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      A lot of people will use chips so you might miss out big time.

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

        There are bigger DGWs coming.

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

      Same struggle here

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

      I have 6 without transfers and still want to play more than 5 SGWers so yeah it should certainly be enough

  23. MarkRenouf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    apologies this bottomed out - broja or cucho for run in - getting cucho would allow to get doherty

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

  24. dshv

  27. Invincibles
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Start Mateta or Robertson. I'm 90% sure Liverpool will win.

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They won't

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

        Think they will comfortably, City will score 1 though.

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 4 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Ok...highly doubt it

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

            1-3 is my guess.

            1. Jock Grealish
              • 4 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Nah pool won last game 3-1. will be draw.
