The next round of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is fast approaching, with the Gameweek 6 deadline at 11am BST on Saturday.

Five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, is back again to answer some of your pre-match posers over the next 60 minutes, whether you’re mulling over transfers, deliberating over the captaincy or anything in between.

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.

You can, as ever, chip in with your own opinions on the RMT requests filtering through – and naturally, you’re 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.

    Need Rodrigo replacement. Up to 6.4. Best option? Already have Martinelli. Thinking of just going Harrison or below incase White loses his place so I can upgrade him. Anyone have any preference?

    1. Arn De Gothia

      JWP

      1. Feanor
        • 17 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        He is 6.5

        1. Arn De Gothia
          • 16 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Oh, sorry

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Gross?

      1. Drogba Legend
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Probably most sensible option but I don't LOVE the fixtures. Decent 3 out of next 5. Not on pens anymore either

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          You only need 3 fixtures

    3. Feanor
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Gordon might be worth a punt

      1. Das Boot
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Like this and was just looking at it but tough fixtures over the next 3

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

      Gross looks the best option IMO.

    5. TheAbear53
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Gordan

    6. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Morgan Gibbs-White

    7. Drogba Legend
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thoughts on MacAllister on pen duty?

    8. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Harrison

    9. XX SMICER XX
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      When are you Wildcarding?
      If soon then take a punt on something different

      1. Drogba Legend
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        8-9 probably?

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

      Sinesstra?

  2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What to do here with 2fts and 0.7 itb? Reluctant to burn the transfer...

    Sanchez
    TAA James Cancelo Walker
    Salah Diaz Martinelli Gross
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward Neco Andreas Archer

    1. Arn De Gothia
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Is Walker still safe? Archer->anybody

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You should have done archer to someone else earlier in the week just to save yourself that price drop

      1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I regret that. Now he's dropped, seems a pointless 0.1 to upgrade him tbh

    3. Stimps
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Walker to Trippier? Liking the look of Newcastle fixtures

      1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
        • 15 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah Trippier def on my radar, will consider that

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

      You need to burn one of the transfers I believe, otherwise you will lose both and be back to 1 next week. I’ve burned on this week for that reason (Rodrigo > Zaha).
      Walker > Trippier is a decent move imo

  3. Pringle
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Ramsdale to Sanchez as 1 of my 2FT? Saving other FT

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

      Yes

  4. Stimps
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Recon Rodrigo will drop again tonight?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Probably tomorrow night but you never know

    2. Arn De Gothia
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      -69,7 now, its possible

  5. Gunner77-
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Would you start Dasilva(LEE) ahead of White(mun)?

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

      Hmm, probably yes.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe not sure he ll start though

    3. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    4. Arn De Gothia
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    5. Gunner77-
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks all

    6. Emiliano Sala
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Not at all

    7. CostaCoffee
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No white has a chance to return at least

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

    My next three (!) planned transfers are:

    A) Mendy (WHU) -> Sanchez (LEI)
    B) Cucurella (WHU) -> Williams (BOU)
    C) Archer -> Mitrovic (switch from 5-3-2 to 4-3-3)

    A & B are required to fund C. Which to do this week - or stick with Mendy & Cucurella and save FT, re-assess next GW?

    Cheers

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Save

    2. Bob.
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe re-asses next week. I would bank the transfer

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

      Thanks both. Boring, but sensible...

  7. cigan
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Made a big 10-point error last week and got rid of Zaha+Ederson for Diaz+Sanchez. Got 1 FT now so I'm thinking save the transfer?

    I can then do Kane (tougher fixtures) & Diaz (Jota+Darwin back) to Haaland & Zaha for free next week

    Sanchez
    Trent Cancelo James Trippier
    Salah Diaz Martinelli Gross
    Kane Jesus
    (Ward Neco KDH Archer)

  8. Bob.
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How am I looking for the weekend? Thinking of maybe downgrading robbo to allow for an upgrade somewhere next week. Maybe even a punt on Brennan Johnson for this week? Have two ft and 0 itb

    Sanchez
    TAA James Dias Robertson/Williams
    Salah Martinelli Foden Nunes
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward Robertson/Williams Perrerira Archer

    Cheers

  9. Gunner77-
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Mendy (Ward)
    Robbo James White Dias Cancelo
    Salah Gundogan Martinelli (Andreas DaSilva)
    Jesus Kane (Archer)

    2FT, 0.3£ ITB

    What would you do?

    1. Bob.
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Maybe White to Williams?

      1. Gunner77-
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Would you still play him or Dasilva?

    2. Tomsk
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’d be concerned about White. Tomiyasu looked good when came on. I’d move white to Brighton defender or maybe Nico Williams(target Bournemouth).

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Get rid of Mendy

      1. Gunner77-
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Would you waste a transfer on a goalie tho? Who'd you get anyway? Maybe get a 4m and buy Gross for Dasilva

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Well rather do a keeper transfer than burn one

          1. Gunner77-
            • 13 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            Which GK would you get?

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 9 Years
              4 years, 1 month ago

              Pope

              1. Gunner77-
                • 13 Years
                4 years, 1 month ago

                Thanks mate

    4. FFSbet.com
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Dias + Kane > Trippier + Haaland and after that Robbo > TAA

      but Kane has good fixture

      1. Gunner77-
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        At this point I'd rather keep Kane, but of course will get Haaland sooner or later anyway.

  10. FFSbet.com
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Damn...was sure James will drop and did James > Perisic last GW now cant get him back.

    Mendy > Henderson ?

    1. Gunner77-
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Stuck with Mendy as well... would you updrage or downgrade tho?

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Pope is the keeper I would get if you don't have Trippier

      1. Gunner77-
        • 13 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Do you think he as better clean sheets opportunities than a 4.5 goalie (as Raya for example)?

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Sanchez a close 2nd

    3. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Set to drop tonight. Maybe do it tomorrow?

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

    Ramsdale to Pope or Sanchez? 1FT 0 mib
    Cucurella to Trippier 4ph? Or anything else?
    Start Cucurella or Neco?
    Thanks Tom!
    Ramsdale
    TAA - Cucurella - James - Cancelo
    Salah - Diaz - Martinelli - Gross
    Haaland - Jesus

  12. linkafu

    Start 2

    A Martinelli

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      4 years, 1 month ago

      Wow any doubt to start A and B?

  13. CostaCoffee
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Is it stupid to play Estupinan over Martinelli?

    1. Bob.
      • 16 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It's Estupid

  14. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Any reason to get rid of Kulusevski? Points are ok-ish and struggling to find upside change apart from Diaz, switching formation to 3 forwards will need to wait for 2FT ...

    1. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep kulu. Who will u lose to switch to 3 up front ?

  15. Jet5605

    2. GC123
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Keep. Andreas is an able deputy. Don’t waste a transfer assuming you have Martinelli?

  18. Hazardous1983
    • 15 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Best perisic replacement.

    Trippier or n williams

    0.0 in bank. Own taa cancelo james saliba

    What price would Auba be around, 10 or 11 mil?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      He’s 9m

      1. One for All
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        That's a good price, I see he's added to fpl now.

    3. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I did not see Auba being cheaper than Sterling but yet another price issue FPL are causing.

      1. One for All
        • 8 Years
