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 â€˜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
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      JWP

      1. Feanor
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He is 6.5

        1. Arn De Gothia
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Oh, sorry

    2. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Gross?

      1. Drogba Legend
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months 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
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          You only need 3 fixtures

    3. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Gordon might be worth a punt

      1. Das Boot
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

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

    4. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Gross looks the best option IMO.

    5. TheAbear53
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Gordan

    6. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Morgan Gibbs-White

    7. Drogba Legend
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Thoughts on MacAllister on pen duty?

    8. Die Hard
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Harrison

    9. XX SMICER XX
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. Drogba Legend
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        8-9 probably?

    10. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Sinesstra?

  2. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Is Walker still safe? Archer->anybody

    2. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

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

    3. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Walker to Trippier? Liking the look of Newcastle fixtures

      1. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah Trippier def on my radar, will consider that

    4. JELLYFISH
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months 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
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

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

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

      Yes

  4. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Recon Rodrigo will drop again tonight?

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Probably tomorrow night but you never know

    2. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      -69,7 now, its possible

  5. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

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

    1. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Hmm, probably yes.

    2. Ajax Hamsterdam
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe not sure he ll start though

    3. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    4. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    5. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks all

    6. Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Not at all

    7. CostaCoffee
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No white has a chance to return at least

  6. Catastrophe
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Save

    2. Bob.
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

    3. Catastrophe
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks both. Boring, but sensible...

  7. cigan
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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.
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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. Gooner97
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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.
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Maybe White to Williams?

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Would you still play him or Dasilva?

    2. Tomsk
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months 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
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Get rid of Mendy

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months 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
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Well rather do a keeper transfer than burn one

          1. Gooner97
            • 12 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Which GK would you get?

            1. Bobby Digital
              • 8 Years
              3 years, 3 months ago

              Pope

              1. Gooner97
                • 12 Years
                3 years, 3 months ago

                Thanks mate

    4. FFSbet.com
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

      but Kane has good fixture

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

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

  10. FFSbet.com
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

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

    Mendy > Henderson ?

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

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

        1. Bobby Digital
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Sanchez a close 2nd

    3. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Set to drop tonight. Maybe do it tomorrow?

  11. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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

  12. linkafu

    Start 2

    A Martinelli

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      3 years, 3 months ago

      Wow any doubt to start A and B?

  13. CostaCoffee
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Is it stupid to play Estupinan over Martinelli?

    1. Bob.
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      It's Estupid

  14. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

    2. GC123
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

  18. Hazardous1983
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Best perisic replacement.

    Trippier or n williams

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

    1. Pep's Money Laundry
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He’s 9m

      1. One for All
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

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

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

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

      1. One for All
        • 7 Years
