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

    Anything you would change here for a -4? And would you play BB this week?

    Kepa
    Trippier - Akanji - White
    Martinelli - Saka - Rash - Bruno
    Haaland - Kane - Toney

    Ward - Botman - Shaw - Andreas

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I wouldn't BB that, go as is.

    3. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Would change Bruno to Kdb/Mahrez.
      No BB.

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

        I can only afford Mahrez, worth it?

        1. aleksios
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          For sure

    4. Shipstontrev
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      If you BB, get rid of Ward for someone with a chance of a clean sheet.

  4. BobbyDoesNotLook

    1ft, tons of money.

    Kepa (Ward)
    Trippier White Walker (Shaw, Bueno)
    Rashford Bruno Martinelli Almiron* (Andreas)

    C) Almiron to Foden
    D) Martinelli to Ode/Saka
    E) Bruno to Kdb (play Almiron)

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Damn you are sure quite confident with Mahrez. Any reason why you seem so confident with his playing time and potential?

  5. GoonerSteve
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Triple captain Haaland?

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      Up to you Steve

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Go for it

  6. Crazy RedDevil

    Whom to start Shaw or Estupian?

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years

      Estup

      1. Amartey Partey
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Shaw

  7. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bruno ➡ KDB for a hit?

    1. Shipstontrev
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No because of Pep

    2. aleksios
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No brainer

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

      No because of KDB’s form

    4. Tcheco
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I didn’t even do it for free let alone a hit

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

      KDB in poor form, has been since before the WC and no evidence he is getting any better, him and Salah on the decline as FPL legends.

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

      KDB owner from the restart wishing gone Mahrez 🙁

  8. aleksios
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Anything worth a hit here? 5mil itb.

    --Kepa
    --White--Saliba--Tripp--Ake
    --Martinelli--Almiron--Mahrez--Rash
    --Kane--Haaland.

    --Ward--Shaw---Andreas--Toney.

    Thanks all.

    It's that time of year again. You tell yourself that's the last time, but then you just can't help yourself for going back there, you forget the pain and the anguish caused and only remember the hope and excitement prior to it.

    I'm considering getting Mahrez.

    1. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
      • 11 Years

      This hahaha

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years

      Had it down as James

  10. Kane Train
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you do Bruno > Odegaard for free?

    A) Yes
    B) No, Keep Bruno

    1. aleksios
      • 10 Years

      A.

      A

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

    Thoughts on this team? Anything worth a hit? 2.5 itb

    —————Ederson
    ———Trips Schar Gabriel
    Saka odergaard rash Bruno Mitoma
    ————Haaland Kane

  12. OffsidePenalty
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Cancelo to Ake or Akanji?

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

      Aké has slightly more goal threat

    2. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Akanji. Less rotation risk than Ake.

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

    Shaw out or Botman out for Gabriel? Have Trippier as well!

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

      Tempted to this for free myself, if you have 1 FT I'd leave it (I have 2)

    2. Men in green tights
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I took out botman as Shaw has higher ceiling of points

  14. agueroooooney
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Down to these two options now:

    A) Shaw -> City def (start over Schar)

    B) Almiron (bench) + Mitrovic -> Mahrez + Gnonto (bench)

    Kepa
    Trippier - White - Schar
    KDB - Martinelli - Odegaard - Rashford
    Haaland - Kane - Mitrovic

    Ward - Almiron - Shaw - Bueno

    2 FT 0.2 itb

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

    Votes please:

    A) Schar -> Ake
    B) Bueno -> Lewis
    C) Fernandes -> Mahrez
    D) Martinelli, Toney & Schar -> Mahrez, Nketiah & Tarkowski (-8)
    E) Something else

    Ederson*
    Gabriel*, Trippier, Schar
    Saka*, Martinelli*, Fernandes, Rashford
    Haaland*, Kane, Toney

    (Ward, Andreas, Shaw, Bueno)

    Cheers!

    Hi guys, does this sound OK? Martinelli out could be March out but prevents me from getting Eddie.

    Martinelli > Saka/Odegaard
    Toney > Kane/Nketiah

    I like Kane long term and think he'll do well this weekend but also concerned about booking in a transfer for Eddie when Jesus returns.

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

      When will Jesus return any time soon?

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

        Who knows

  17. The-Red-1
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Bench Cucu or Shaw?

    I think Chelsea more chance of a clean sheet, but Cucu not nailed.

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

    This seems like the week Martinelli punishes all of the sellers, I'm so reluctant to transfer him out

    1. GoonerSteve
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I thought that last week.

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

    I am after your advice again....Would you play the TC this weekend or do we think 25 would be better ?

    1. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I believe better opportunities of TCing Haaland will arise in the future, specifically another DGW which is even better on paper. Personally, I'm holding the chip.

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

    Which is better ?
    A- Lewis & Bruno
    B- A kanji & Mitoma

    1. BeWater
      • 5 Years

      B

  21. Alexis Nonsense
    • 10 Years

    Play one:

    a) Mitoma

    b) Bruno

    1. Tshelby
      • 11 Years

      A

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

      A

    3. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What is this madness. As good as Mitoma's form has been, ofc you play Bruno

    4. Amartey Partey
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      B

  22. Tshelby
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    So hard to choose..

    A, B or C?

    A) Bruno and Mitro to Mahreze and Kane
    B) Martinelli to Saka
    C) Greenwoord, Martinelli to Mitoma and Nketiah

  23. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    What to here lads, got 2FT and dazzling 2.6 ITB (willing to take a hit). Shaw/DDG duo is killing me.
