FPL Rate My Team surgery with five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman

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, I’ve got two FTs ahead of a FH and was planning to take some money out of my bench (downgrade Cathcart and Broja). Now tempted by a Ramsey to Dewsbury-Hall move for Leicester’s run-in. What do you think? A legit playable option (especially for the 36 double) or just stick with the plan and keep Rambo?

      It’s diffucult. If I bring in Cancelo for Saiss, benching headache even bigger with TAA and Doherty.

      Lei def might more benchable and useful for building BB GW 36. Will FH GW 33 and 37.

      Other option is Weghorst to Pukki, but all options gives benching headache

          Dont take hit imo. You also have White on bench who can keep a CS. so just use 2FTs.

          By downgrading Adams to 4.5, can you get Bruno for Coutinho

          Tbh ceiling is pretty similar. If White gets a CS, he normally picks up bonus. I would tend to favour the attacker over defender with no attacking threat

    Kane (c)

    Foster, Gelhardt, Ramsey, Broja

    As it stands only Sa, Bowen & Broja don't double in GW36 (when I plan on using my final chip - BB). I have two FTs and 0.0 ITB. I'm thinking Sa > Schmeichel and rolling the FT (giving Ziyech his final roll of the dice to turn up). Alternatively I can do Ziyech > Saka

    The above two transfers means I'll have enough funds to do Gelhardt > Mateta in GW33 (who also doesn't double in GW36 but is showing some form) and well frankly I'd rather him vs Watford at home than Gelhardt vs Arsenal (away) and Chelsea (home).

    Still sitting on the fence about losing Salah.
