With another Gameweek of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) starting on Saturday, 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 Arsenal and Manchester City players, the forthcoming Blank Gameweeks 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.

      Humm. With Newcy blank incoming I'd probably go for it just to make things a bit interesting (Andreas usually has a pretty low ceiling).

      Not Pope or Raya unless you are happy with Ward versus Arsenal in 25.
      Kepa would be a good bet as he plays in both 25 and 28.

      Almiron to Saka or Odegaard this week looks a no-brainer.

    Had some good feedback on the previous thread, looking for one or two more opinions please;

    Do I bench boost this week? GW22 was my 4th best score of the season, bringing me up to 1.8M and if I finish outside the top 100K it would be the first time in 3-4 years so would be gutted.

    Kepa
    Trippier, Shaw, Badiashile
    Mahrez, Ode, Rash, Bruno
    Haaland (c), Nketiah, Kane

    Ward, Mitoma, Burn, White

    Ward - Meh, it's Ward.
    Mitoma - Palace have two clean sheets in their last nine fixtures (benched him last week for Mahrez/Nketiah and feeling hurt).
    Burn - Bournemouth have scored once in their last seven fixtures.
    White - Double game week.

    1FT. 0.7ITB.

      Play White over Shaw and give serious thought to Burn over Badiashile (double Chelsea or double Toon vs Bournemouth?).
      Save your BB for a big double game week where most of your players including your bench play twice if you can.

    Hey Tom,

    Considering a sideways move to Saka/Ødegaard/Zinchenko from Martinelli/White or getting a third City player - or a combination of the above. What would be your play?

    Kepa/Ward
    White, Akanji, Trippier, Shaw, Bueno
    Bruno, Rashford, Martinelli, Mount, Andreas
    Haaland, Nketiah, Kane

    1 FT 2.6m ITB. Used TC, other chips left. Think the last chips are allocated for GW28+.
