The next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline is less than 24 hours away, so there are transfer decisions to be made for legions of us ahead of Gameweek 4.

The questions on player purchases and captaincy picks are coming thick and fast 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 your posers 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.

    Thanks a lot Tom, do you think bench of Bailey, andreas and archer enough to cover the risk of perisic? If so, would you put Andreas ahead of Bailey? Really appreciate it!

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      More importantly, do you?

      How many no shows do you expect from Perisic? How many points do you expect your bench to provide for a no show? Is this acceptable?

    1 FT
    Lose either Walker or Cucurella

    Bring in either Trippier or Perisic

    Or hold?

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Easy hold

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Walker to Perisic

    3. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hold

    4. el polako

    5. Matt42
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cheers all!

    6. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hold, particularly with Zaha out

    7. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hold

  4. BeWater
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Teamnewsandtix said Zaha is out injured and hasn't travelled for the City game.

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Dial up?

      1. BeWater
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Carrier pigeon.

  5. brucepallats2

    First time on here seeking guidance. What to do with Maddison? Have £0.5m ITB. Roll and hope he plays or move on? Preferred options: Kulu, Diaz, Gundagon. Not sure about Rodrigo vs a tricky Brighton. I also have Salah, Martinelli and Neto in midfield. Periera on the bench. Thanks!!

    1. Ginkapo FPL
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Why did you get Madison originally? Has that changed?

      1. Samsonite
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Believe he is a doubt

      2. brucepallats2
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Good preseason. He’s done ok points wise: 5 7 7. Not amazing returns but he’s returned slightly more than Luiz and Kulu thus far.

        1. Ginkapo FPL
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I would only switch if you really want the others in that case then. Seems you are not inspired

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sell for Gundogan or Kulusevski

  6. Randaxus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    What do you guys think about Martinelli to Rodrigo, I am not sure about making this transfer next week.

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t sell Martinelli

    2. Home Run Baker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No. Would rather have Martinelli.

    3. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sorry but why would you sell Martinelli? I don’t get it

      1. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        That is my point everyone is trying to get Rodrigo and the only way I could get him would be selling Martinelli or Diaz, Rodrigo has scored 4 goals and got 1 assist in 3 games he is on fire also Martinelli is a rotation risk. I will probably keep Martinelli but I will be sad if he blanks and Rodrigo scores a brace which I think could happen.

        1. Utopsis
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Martinelli is not a rotation risk on current form

          1. Randaxus
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            When Smith Rowe is fit he is a rotation risk

            1. Bluetiger1
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Agree

    4. Jock Grealish
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      wtf sell marti?

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No. Martinelli one of the best value players in the game. Rodrigo has a tough Brighton game

      1. Randaxus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        This is exactly the point based on points currently scored Rodrigo has the highest point per million value.

        1. Utopsis
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Look forwards not backwards

          1. Randaxus
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            You won't be saying that is Rodrigo scores again.

        2. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          So far, but I'd still back Martinelli of the two when considering the quality of teams. Rodrigo also looks a big outlier vs. his expected goal stats in previous seasons so far: https://i.imgur.com/8hzRdT7.png

  7. Eastman
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Any update on Maddison. Don’t know what to do with him. Still have my ft

    1. Samsonite
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’m in the same boat. Going to move him on. He’s a doubt and lei are a sinking ship

      1. Eastman
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah may be best. Who are you going for?

        1. Samsonite
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Favor Diaz at the moment for some pool coverage. If I had Salah it would’ve been one of the Leeds boys or gundo. I also have Kulu and already tripled up on city

          1. Eastman
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks. Think Gundo for me. May try and get Rodrigo in the next couple of weeks and downgrade Robbo

    Love it when all the wildcard teams look like the team you started with 🙂

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      It’s usually a bad sign though 😛

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      WC teams are looking better than they did in GW1, especially on who is going to be benched or which 3 players to bench.

    3. Utopsis
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yet I'm still at 2m OR 🙁

  11. Mastermind78
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    How about this team?
    Sanchez (ward)
    TAA, Cancelo, James, Saliba (Williams)
    Salah (C), Martinelli, Diaz, Zaha (Andreas)
    Haaland, Jesus (v), (Greenwood)
    0itb, 1ft.

    Want Rodrigo, but only spot is Zaha’s, and he is almost a season keeper..

    Have 2 FTs and no pressing issues so looking to do one of the below rather than burn a FT. Which would you do?

    A) Odegaard to Martinelli
    B) Archer to Stansfield

      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      A
