With Gameweek 16 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) nearing, five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman is here to help with your pre-deadline dilemmas for the next hour.

It is, of course, the final round of matches before the Premier League takes a break for the World Cup, so whether it’s questions on one-week punts, the best Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.8m) replacements or anything in between, Scout’s Deputy Editor will tackle whatever’s thrown at him.

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 ‘Rate My Team’ tool available in the Premium Members Area.

    Should I pick Ben White or Solanke for this week?

    1. Spoox777
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm tempted to do Mitrovic > Solanke for this GW

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I have just done this…

    2. wayne50
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Solanke

  2. McSlu
    • 9 Years

    As always a bit lost

      • 5 Years

      To be a bit lost is the way to find a new way

      WTF?
      2 FT, 0,6 ITB
      What to do? No pressing issues really

      Guaita
      Cancelo, trips, white
      Madders, rash, Foden, marti
      Darwin, haaland, kane

      1. The Ilfordian
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Relax until 26th Dec?

      2. mrelpea
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I’d be tempted to do Madders to Kulu

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

    Foden + Wilson -> Trossard + Darwin for a hit. How does it look?

    1. Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not great

    2. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I wouldnt sell Foden

    3. mrelpea
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not for a hit. I do think foden could haul. Just do Wilson to solanke, if you don’t already have him

  4. Salarrivederci

    Taking a one-week-punt on Dalot->Zinchenko for free.

    Would you start;
    A: Castagne
    B: Álvarez

    Captain:
    1: Haaland
    2: Salah

    Before possible leaks and server crashes?

    Pickford
    Cancelo - Trippier - Zinchenko
    Salah - Zaha - Trossard - Martinelli
    Haaland - Kane

    (Iversen, Álvarez/Castagne, Andreas, Neco)

    1. mrelpea
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B1

  5. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Benching headache this week.
    Ward/Pope
    Cancelo, Trippier, White, Guati, Patterson
    Foden; Saka, Martinelli, Zaha, Pereira
    Wilson, Kane, Haaland

    Concern is that Wilson and Foden playsa cameo. Pereira will be on pens with no Mitro. I think my whole defence has a good game this week. Not sure who to bench and I still have one FT!

      Pope over Ward it is! Thank you, Golly Gosh.

  7. dansully3
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bowen to Rashford?

    1. Riders of Yohan
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kulu

      1. dansully3
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Have Kane

    2. Souj
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kulu or Zaha but both are sidegrades, probably not gonna get many points out've transferring out Bowen

  8. Weasel Boy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone know if there is a fantasy scout league for World Cup?

  9. Ohh1454
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Is Callum Wilson a keep or sell for a one week punt ?

    1. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Keep.

  10. abaalan
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A. Mitro + doherty > martial + white
    B. Mitro + Wilson > greenwood + Darwin (means playing Doherty or guehi)
    C. Mitro + Doherty > solanke + perisic

    All for free.

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B I reckon

    2. Souj
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B and play Guehi

  11. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    2 FT:

    A) Mitro & Wilson -> Darwin & 5.4m (Edouard or K Moore (bench))

    B) Foden & Mitro -> Kulu & 7.2m (Alvarez or Welbeck (play))

    1. dansully3
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Madness removing Fo

    2. Souj
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A and Moore, if you're going for B (leaked team news says Foden isnt starting) id go for Martial

  12. Boyhowdy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pope (Ward)
    Cancelo Trippier Perisic (Andersen Neco)
    Salah Saka Martinelli Foden Andreas
    Haaland Solanke (Mitro)

    2 FT .1 ITB

    I'm not waiting for Man City leaks in the morning.

    A) Mitro and Andersen to Martial and White
    B) Foden and Mitro to Darwin and Almiron/Gross

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A is almost guaranteed uplift. B risky but I’d go that with Almiron

      1. Boyhowdy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers!

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Has Pep said anything about Foden. Not that anything he does say will give much justification to the decision to hold or sell Foden

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My theory is that his comments 3-4 weeks ago about soMe players not giving 100% in PL games because they were worried about a WC injury were directed at him (and I’m sure a few others).

      It’s coincided with 3 straight league benchings

      It also happened just as I bought him….

      1. dansully3
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Don't agree. He has potent options out wide and I think Foden starts regardless

      2. St Pauli Walnuts
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Not sure how you arrived at that. He scored hat trick against united, made one and scored one against Southampton and then blanked against Liverpool before he was dropped. He was in excellent form and certainly not shirking.

        1. la boneza
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Is it not a case of Pep knowing KDB is going to log massive minutes in the WC, and that City had the CL tied, so Pep planned go play KDB in EPL which meant Foden who will also log WC minutes was thusly tasked with CL duties...?

          1. la boneza
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            *to

            ...just feels like it's pre-emptive WC rotation, I guess is my point.

            1. St Pauli Walnuts
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              4 PL beachings in a row though! To play in CL dead rubber when there are plenty of other options who could have stepped in.

  14. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Do we know Foden won't play or is this just based on the last couple of games?

    1. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No one knows. Maybe not even Pep.

  15. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    A. Pope (CHE)
    B. Ramsdale (wol)
    C. Alisson (SOU)

  16. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Play one:
    a) Gomez
    b) Kehrer
    c) Neco

    1. mcpoop
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      a

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Will he start though? Doesn't seem likely

  17. sthelenslad92
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Who would you start out of these two:
    A) Trippier
    B) Anderson

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Never bench Trippier!

  18. Chipmunk
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How’s this?

    Pope
    Tripps / White / Cancelo
    Almeron / Salah (vic) / Martineli / Andreas
    Darwin Haaland (c) Kane

    Ward / Guehi / Bailey / Tark

    1. The Ilfordian
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Good. I’m not convinced Chelsea don’t score so might consider Ward but probably good to go

  19. Malinwa
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mitro replacement
    A) Jesus
    B) Darwin

    1. mcpoop
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      jesus is guaranteed to play, so him

  20. mcpoop
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Got a free transfer, .6 itb, what do i do?

    ramsdale
    cancelo dier guehi
    salah foden mart zaha
    haaland solanke wilson

    Ward Andreas trippier williams

  21. Jet5605
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    1FT and zero ITB. Any moves worthwhile here? Bowen > Kulu or is that too sideways?

    Guaita
    Robbo - Cancelo - Trippier
    KDB - Saka - Bowen - Zaha
    Haaland - Solanke - Scamacca

    Ward - Andreas - Zouma - Dalot

  22. Gazwaz80
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mitro to Martial, yay or nay?

    1. jaywills
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm contemplating this right now. Flip a coin

    2. The Mighty Hippo
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yes, go for it.

      1. Gazwaz80
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It’s either Mitro to Solanke or to Martial…

        1. The Mighty Hippo
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I prefer the Martial option. I think he's first choice up front for ETH when he's fit.

  23. themaindanger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Need to set my team tonight as I am playing golf tomorrow morning.

    Haaland is 50/50 to start. Going to play him, but don't want to captain him.

    Thinking of giving the (c) to Darwin over KDB.

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      KDB or Salah are better C than Darwin

  24. jaywills
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Chances of a Mitrovic price drop tonight?
    A) 25%
    B) 50%
    C) 75%
    D)100%
    Chances of a Wilson price drop tonight
    1) 25%
    2) 50%
    3) 75%
    4)100%

    1. Bennerman
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I don't get these ones.

      Anyone who is answering doesn't know anyway, so there's no useful data coming through, it's just an arbitrary assortment of people's opinions, whether informed or not.

      1. WVA
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Mitro dropped in price last night, Wilson also nowhere near

  25. OptimusBlack
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    For this GW only which is better ??
    A- Cancelo + Trossard -4 pts
    B- Darwin
    C- Foden

    1. Original Sin
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      B

  26. Henning
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    1 or 2

    1. Mitrovic to Solanke/Firmino
    2 Dier to Gabriel/VVD
    If i keep Mitrovic i will play Andreas for him.

  27. Eisjh
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Hey guys,

    Wheels have completely come off the wagon this year, looking for any pointers you have please! Chucked in Dalot and Rashy last week so only have one transfer available,

    Ramsdale
    Van Dijk - Cancelo - Gabriel
    Martinelli - Zaha - Rashford - Foden
    Haaland - Wilson - Firmino

    Dalot - Nico Williams - Diallo - Iversen

    Many thanks!!

  28. Dcon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Would you go
    A. Neco Williams to Perišić or
    B. Mitrović to Jesus?

  29. evilfish
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Start Ward or Henderson?

    1. David Parkinson
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Neither likely to clean so go for the pen save, Hendo.
