There may not be much of a captaincy debate to be had in Gameweek 10 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) but other head-scratching decisions are still to be made.

From Aleksandar Mitrovic‘s (£6.8m) knock to the upcoming blanks for Arsenal and Manchester City, there are plenty of posers for FPL bosses to consider ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

If you’re after some last-minute assistance, five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, will be answering some of your questions over the next 60 minutes.

Wildcard drafts, free transfers, points hits: whatever your strategy is and whatever’s on your mind, ask away.

Tom will 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.

    Salah to KDB done

    1. NJ MetroStars
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      mistake imo

      1. Meechoo115
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Could be. Effectively a -8

        1. kamdaraji
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          I will roll in gw11 and have two free transfers in GW12. No hit required unless players get injured

    2. Boxwoods
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yep

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Seems a bit short term

    4. Tartan Brazilians
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Good move. Play the fixtures. KDB likely to score more over next 2 and then get Salah back.

      1. kamdaraji
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah. My team is well set up so can afford the luxury transfer

    5. yousunkmybattleship
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wrong way round bro

      1. kamdaraji
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Also jointly leading my cash mini league and co joint leader and third place both have KDB so want to protect myself from any potential big hauls from KDB.

  2. BobbyDoesNotLook
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any Man United fans here. Is Martial expected to start?

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Yup

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Being used sparingly, last two games two goal & pen, high % mins to goal.

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Coming back from injury? Are we expecting low minutes any case because he is coming back?

  3. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    How are you hadling the blank gw12 if you still have a wildcard?

    I had planned to ship out Martinelli & Jesus over the next 2 weeks, and bench my 3 City, but frankly I expect them to score 2 or 3 v Liverpool and Leeds.

    Think I might have to save a ft, ship out Cancelo instead next week, then do KDB & Jesus out in 12, then WC 13.

    Would love to get Wilson in for Mitro, but think I'll have to hold.

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I have Cancelo. Jesus. Martinelli. Haaland. And also Neco and Lucas who I wouldn’t want to play in 12

      Plan is 11. Sell Cancelo and Jesus

      12. Sell Paqueta. Contemplating selling Haaland too for a one week punt if Jota or Nunez look nailed for that match … they would need to score at least 4 more than Gordon though so not sure

    2. JayKay1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I went WC last week, with 3 City / Arsenal... Surely deadend in 12 and WC 13?

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, just got some iffy players for gw12 in Zouma, etc.

    3. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I have KDB, Cancelo, Haaland, Jesus, Martinelli. Will sell Cancelo next week and Jesus in GW12 for a one week punt.

  4. Bobby_Baggio
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Morning all - Some advice on where to use my 2FT + 1.7m ITB? Cheers

    Pope
    Trippier - Cancelo - TAA - Saliba
    Salah - Zaha - Martinelli
    Haaland - Mitro - Toney

    (Iversen) - Neco - Andreas - DaSilva

    A) DaSilva + TAA > Maddison + Cucurella
    B) Mitro + TAA > Kane + 4.4m Def
    C) TAA > Anyone
    D) Anything else?

    1. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      C to James

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        cheers any reason not to get maddison for DaSilvsa?

  5. Jullepuu
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mitro to Scamacca for a week or two? I have two free transfers and I don't really have anything else to do

    1. JayKay1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Need you full squad to be able to advise... And chips...

  6. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Think I will just keep Mitro.

    1. JayKay1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Me too.. A keeper ;o)

  7. Shark Team
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Schar KDB to James Bowen for -8?
    Worth or not? Not gonna use any transfers for 11

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Why would you sell those 2 for hits? What am I missing?

      1. Shark Team
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        I think James and Bowen can haul but maybe I’m too afraid

        1. how now brown cow
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Newcastle home to Brentford, City home to Saints. Absolutely plum fixtures.

          1. Shark Team
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 6 months ago

            What I’m losing is also precious I think you re right

    2. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What ? Not this week hell no

    3. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      No...not sure Id even sell those two players for free this week

    4. Please don't do this

    5. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      What is wrong with u lad?

    6. NorCal Villan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Good move, don’t listen to these jabronis

  8. Meechoo115
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Question !! Would you sell Haaland in 11 for Kane if have wildcard to bring him back in 13?!?!

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Depends if you can afford any price losses.

      1. Meechoo115
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Could lose 0.3 which might be ok if Kane hits Everton (and to a lesser extent United) hard. Only worry is if Haaland scores more v Liverpool than Kane does v Everton.

    2. JayKay1
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      11? No...

      12, maybe...

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think I will captain Halaand even if it's Liverpool away.

    4. Pylynen
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not fancy bet against him that gw11 fixture can still hurt badly...

  9. Saka Punch
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hey guys, Justin or Castagne?

    Feel like Castagne is a bit more attacking but maybe not as nailed?

    1. Mike82
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      On Castagne myself but Justin just as worthy I’d say.

      1. Saka Punch
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        What's your reasoning for .1 more on Castagne out of interest?

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Heads or tails?

  10. Mike82
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    RMT, on a wildcard;

    Guaita, (Iversen)
    James, Trippier, Cresswell, (Castagne, Neco)
    Bilva, Maddison, Bowen, Zaha, (Willock)
    Haaland (C), Auba, Kane (V)

    In 2 minds to do Madders to Barnes and Bernardo to Foden tho?

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would get Sterling over Bilva and Welbeck for Auba

      Then Sterling to either Foden or Diaz in 13

      1. Mike82
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        0.5 short of that one

        1. Meechoo115
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          Cress to a 4.5

    2. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Not convinced by Cresswell. If you haven't hit the button I don't know what your current team looks like, I'm thinking (hoping) there's more value in using it in GW13.

  11. RICICLE
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hi guys, some quick advice in light of this Mitro news now if you could please gents?

    Pope
    Trippier - Cancelo - James
    Zaha - KDB - Maddison - Martinelli
    Toney - Haaland - Mitro
    _______________________________
    Ward: Saliba: Neco: Andreas

    0FT, 0.0 ITB

    A) Mitro > Scamacca/Martial -4
    B) KDB + Mitro > Foden + Kane -8
    C) Leave alone and just play a bench player?

    Or anything else I could do in this instance?

    Cheers guys.

    1. H.E. Pennypacker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years

        Isn’t he out this GW?

    2. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      What’s the Mitro news

      1. RICICLE
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        He’s being removed by many because a serious doubt to play this GW

  12. Pylynen
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Gtg? 0ft 0.1 itb

    Pope
    Cancelo James Trippier
    KDB Maddison Zaha Martinelli
    Haaland Jesus Mitrovic

    Ward Schär Neco Andreas

    Thanks!

  13. Bobby Digital
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Is Malacia expected to start?

    1. Mike82
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I hope so

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Are you playing him?

        1. Mike82
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 6 months ago

          No just as a united fan perspective, I don’t any united assets, can’t be trusted.

    2. Rushford
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn’t trust him to be nailed going forward

  14. HD7
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    1 FT
    2.2 ITB

    Salah to Zaha or save?

    Ederson
    
Cancelo James Perisic Trippier
    
Salah Maddison Martinelli Bailey*
    
Haaland Jesus

    

Bench: Ward Schar Pereira Greenwood

    1. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Sure. Live on the edge a bit. Enjoy the funds ITB.
      Gotta risk it

  15. donbagino
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Coufal lost place in starting lineup?

    1. Mike82
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      My West Ham supporting mate really does hope so.

  16. alsybach
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Would you start

    Dalot (Eve)
    Or Saliba (LIV)

    Answers on a postcard please……

    1. Mike82
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Wish you was here

    2. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Dalot. Everton fairly anaemic going forward

    3. Baron Penguin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      That's a head scratcher. Man Utd probably marginally more likely to get a clean sheet.

    4. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Close call.
      Prob Dalot
      Sending more details via passenger pigeon

  17. Baron Penguin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    The big question - start 2 of these 3:

    1. Castagne
    2. Gross
    3. Mitrovic

    1. Mike82
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1 and 3 for me

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      1 I think 3 will be out

    3. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      2 will be guaranteed to play

  18. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Rate these moves out of 10:

    Salah + Mitro -> Bowen + Kane (-4)

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I think it’s good. You don’t captain salah in next two.

  19. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Any suggestions for improving this WC team? 1.0m in the bank

    Guaita (Ward)
    Cancelo, James, Trippier (Mings, Coady)
    Maddison, Foden, Zaha, Martinelli, Trossard
    Haaland (c), Kane (Solanke)

  20. Mike82
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Barnes or Maddison to get Foden over Bilva?

    1. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Maddi all day

  21. Digital-Real
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mitro > Solanke?
    I get the Mitro 20/21 vibes again.
    Had a poor season after a good start.

    1. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I dont think we expect much from Solanke.

  22. Drip Doctor
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    He's the popular pick this week but something just still doesn't feel right about Zaha. Strikes me as a player who scores in games you wouldn't expect and blanks in the easier games, hence why he hasn't been a well picked player in the past.

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      He'll test owners patience during the period they have him in their team.

  23. Nespinha
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mitrovic doubt. Sinisterra out.
    Bench options are Andreas, Neco, Emerson.

    A) transfer out Sinisterra (6.6 mid max)
    B) save transfer

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would sell Sinistiere. Perhaps Gross

    2. acidicleo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A> Rashy

  24. Disco Stu
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Best replacement for Mitro?

    Wilson? Toney? Scamacca?

    1. sulldaddy
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Toney

  25. roganyosh
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    1) Kane & neco

    OR

    2) scammacca & maddison

  26. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    First on bench to cover Mitro:

    A. Andreas (whu)

    B. Guehi (LEE)

    C. Neco (AVL)

    1. Mike82
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B

    2. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      B I think. Dull I know !

  27. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    (-4)

    Rams*
    Cancelo | Trippier | Cucu*
    Martinelli* | Foden | Trossard | Maddison
    Kane | Haaland | Toney*
    Ward | Perisic* | Andreas | Patterson*

    0.5 ITB

    would transfer out 6* players on WC

    activate WC or good to go?

    1. Digital-Real
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      save

  28. thepancakeman123
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    I have 1 FT and 0.1m in the bank with Mitrovic and Bailey flagged. What do I do?

    A) Bench Bailey for Botman and roll
    B) Mitrovic > Martial and bench Bailey for Botman
    C) Other

    Pope
    Cancelo, James, Trippier
    Sterling, Maddison, Zaha, Bailey
    Haaland, Kane, Mitrovic

    Iversen, Botman, Andreas, Emerson

    1. Meechoo115
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      I would just roll. Botman and Andreas are fine ish

    2. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      A

      1. thepancakeman123
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 6 months ago

        Ok cool, thank you both

  29. acidicleo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Hi guys..
    Currently have 3 city and 2 Arsenal. Plan to remove Martinelli, Jesus and KDB with next 3 FT s by week 12.
    I think I will ship one gunner this week and the other 2 in GW12.

    Best Martinelli replacement till GW12 from these options?

    A) Zaha
    B) Bowen
    C) Rashford
    D) Trossard

    Prefer to ship Marti first rather than Jesus due to better mid options compared to forwards..

    1. Mike82
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Bowen probably for me.

  30. Feanor
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 6 months ago

    Mings or Justin on a WC?

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 6 months ago

      Or Guehi?

      My keepers are Guaita and Ward
