With Double Gameweek 22 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) almost upon us, five-time top 1k finisher Tom Freeman is here to help with your pre-deadline dilemmas for the next hour.

Whether it’s questions on triple captaining Marcus Rashford (£7.2m), Leeds United players, how to navigate Blank Gameweek 25 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 â€˜Rate My Team’ tool available in the Premium Members Area.

    Mitro to Bamford worth a hit?

    1. Kay317
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Might not even start either game

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        True, just DGW fever!!!

    2. Mufc202020

      He’s played 77 mins on the weekend, assisted two. Scored 2 in the cup before and his direct competition is injured.

      I think it’s worth a go. Maybe not for a hit

      I'm a bit late to party but I like Bamford's prospects now Rodrigo out. I watched their cup game and he was best player on the pitch. I'd be shocked if he doesn't start. Wouldn't have done it for a hit though,

    KDB

    Pep saying KDB will play less against low block teams so he can get an extra man in the box.

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

      Alvarez could start again for KDB against Spurs

    2. N00B
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I have him and don't know what to do with him this week.
      A) Start him
      B) Bench and play Mitrovic instead

    3. Ne0
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Am considering one to bench between him and Nunez

    4. Fit_to_drop
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Is this Pep spinning a yarn or what? If are playing in front of a team who have parked the bus, adding another body into the final third of the pitch solves nothing surely? I just dont get that logic at all. I wonder is he just filling the media slot with hot air to pass the 30 mins.

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

      I just don't see him not starting next few PL games, best player and still capable of winning games in a heartbeat even when out of form. Too much on the line with Arsenal's lead.

  3. _Ninja_
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Correct to play Schar or start White and spread the risk?

    Kepa
    Trippier Schar Shaw
    Bruno Rashford Odegaard Martinelli
    Haaland Kane Toney

    Ederson Andreas White Bueno

    1. The EJJ
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      i'm playing both my Newcastle defenders and benching White

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Same situation with Botman. Leaving towards benching White

    3. N00B
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Play Schar. Home game and more attacking than White.

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

      Cheers all

    5. Deulofail
      • 10 Years

      100% chance of failure is bad.

      2x 50% chance is better.

      This is spreading the risk. It doesn't apply to FPL because the opposite potential also exists to completely balance it out.

      100% chance of success is good.

      2x 50% chance of success is worse.

      Pick the player you think will score the most points

  4. abaalan

    Kane to Gnonto then to Nketiah (-4) over 22/23
    or just do Kane to Nketiah with no hit this week?

    1. Ne0
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      The later

      1. _Ninja_
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Agree wouldn't take the hit here.

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      That's not close. Go Nketiah.

  5. Help Me!
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What would you do here? I'm tempted to do Almirón to Ode, but I prefer to do Martial to Nketiah next week, so should I roll?

    Arrizabalaga
    Shaw - Trippier - Cucurella
    Martinelli - Salah (VC) - Almirón - Rashford (C)
    Haaland - Martial - Darwin

    Bench: Ward, White, Andreas, Bueno
    £3.6 ITB, 1 FT

  6. Pep Roulette
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Which move is the best? 2 FTs

    Ward
    Shaw Trippier Botman
    KDB Bruno Rashford(TC) Almiron Martinelli
    Kane Haaland

    Iversen Bueno Patterson Archer

    A. Kane & Almiron to Nketiah & Saka. Upgrade Patterson to City defender next week.

    B. Kane & Patterson to Nketiah & Gabriel. Upgrade Almiron to Mahrez next week.

    C. Anything else?

    1. Help Me!
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I like B

    2. Paddy Gooner
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B for me. Gabriel is underrated. I've had him most of season. And Saka could be hit or miss especially with other attackers in form. Also the City defender thing is a bit of a shambles at the minute and Arsenal's DGW looks better for possible CS.

      1. Paddy Gooner
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I meant Arsenal's GW22 fixture

        1. RaptorRice86
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Im liking the Kane Out moves, as I am considering benching him this week and playing Solly March instead. Is that crazy?

          Ramsdale
          Tripper / Shaw / Estupinan / White
          Fernandes / Rashford / Saka / March
          Haaland / Toney

          Bench: Kane / Almiron / Rico

  7. Zinedine Kilbane

    Deciding to play bench boost or Triple captain in a monthly league;

    Will Rashford outscore combined Kepa, White, Trent, Nketiah?

    1. Jambot
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Can you BB and TC Haaland next GW?

      1. Zinedine Kilbane
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Wildcard next week so next week not option sadly

    2. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably not but that's not what should make you decide to bench boost this week.

      You can't compare chips directly.

    3. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Why not save Bench Boost for players when they'd double. There are so many bargains this year that its so easy to get a bench that could score you at least 40 points. It's TC week.

      1. Zinedine Kilbane
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Theres a prize for the February manager of the month and my league not going so going to go all out this month

  8. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bench Mitro over White?

    1. Gon Freecss
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I'm doing this

    2. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yep me too

  9. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    TC on and off, and on and off...

  10. OptimusBlack
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    GTG ?
    Ramsdale
    Mee Shaw Tripper
    Ødegaard Mahrez Mitoma Bruno Rashford (TC)
    Kane Haaland
    Ward ( Mitro White Patterson)
    3.2 itb No FT

  11. ludaslol
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Can't make my mind up

    A) Almiron, KDB to Odegaard, Mahrez for free

    B) Martial, Almiron, KDB to Odegaard, Bruno, Gnonto -4 (plan is to do Andreas to Mahrez next week for free)

    Kepa
    White Trippier Shaw
    Rashford Saka Almiron KDB
    Kane Haaland Martial

    R. James, Bueno, Andreas

    1. ludaslol
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Don't think Martial will get more than 90mins tops, and reckon Bruno will get close to 180

  12. GENERATION X
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Thats AWB off the menu

  13. Starvaiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    If you had to captain on of these, who?;
    A) Martinez - CTY H + LEE H
    B) Toney - SOU H
    C) Nketiah - EVE A

    Thanks,

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B or C could outscore A if they score once and get the bonus points. A has two games but lower ceiling.

      1. Starvaiger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Indeed - thus you see my conundrum 🙂
        RMT is actually telling me to C Salah..

  14. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mitoma or Odegaard this gw?

    1. Gandalf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Mitoma (I have neither at the moment)

  15. Better Call Raul
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Should I try to get Bruno somehow despite already having 3 United in De Gea, Shaw and Rashford?

    Would need a -4 as only 1FT

    1. Paddy Gooner
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No. the 3 you have are the best IMO. Wish I had De Gea TBH

  16. Bale11
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Harrison or Bailey as a 1 week punt in draft?

  17. Paddy Gooner
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Mitro > Bamford or Gnonto and -4 ???

    Yay or Nay, and if Yay, which one???

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Not worth a hit to sell him. Hes nailed unlike those two.

  18. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    G2G or something worth a hit here?

    Ederson
    Trippier, Shaw, Gabriel
    KDB, Odegaard, Martinelli, Rashford(c)
    Kane, Haaland, Toney

    Ward, Amartey, Andreas, Bueno

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      G2G. Bench looks weak but no reason to address that today

  19. AndrewL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    TC Rashford this week or Haaland next week? Fixtures are better for Rashford but Haaland has been a machine!

  20. krumcake
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sell Kane or KDB this week. WC next week.

    1. Feed tha Sheep

  21. Feed tha Sheep
    • 13 Years

  22. Subzero (-4)
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Bruno, Saka, Rashford (c), Mitoma, Odegaard

    TAA (wol) ---> Liverpool clean sheet: 37%

  27. ididnt
    • 14 Years

    A: Almiron > Odegaard
    B: Almiron > Mitoma
    C: Mitro > Toney (bench Almiron)
