With Gameweek 28 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) almost up on 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 Ollie Watkins (£7.4m) or Kai Havertz (£7.6m), selling Erling Haaland (£12.1m), captaincy 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.

    Really looking to the next few gameweeks. Lots of uncertainty, various captaincy options, different chip strategies. Big arrows in-coming for all!

    Martinelli/Trossard or Maddison on a wc

    Havertz or Toney for captain?

    Kepa
    Trippier / Castagne / Henry / Zinchenko
    Maddison / Saka / Odegaard
    Toney / Kane / Havertz

    Raya / Estupinan / Mitoma / Rashford

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Toney

    2. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Kane

    3. DanJN
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Havertz

  4. Pylynen
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Gtg? Schär for hit to someone? 3.6 itb

    Kepa
    Trippier Schär* Chilwell Henry Zinchenko
    Saka(C) Martinelli
    Kane Watkins Toney

    No Bench

    1. One More Hit
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      If you can get someone who plays in 28 and doubles in 29 I think you should probably take the hit.

      What about Botman?

  5. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    I need a Salah replacement (budget is effectively no worry) as I'll be swapping Toney or Watkins out to Haaland next week.

    Ideally someone who doubles in GW29 to pay off the hit.

    Torn between
    A) Saka (single GW29)
    B) A Newcastle mid, but Almiron is out of favour
    C) A Man Utd mid (already have Rashford)
    D) Maddison (but Leicester are rubbish)

    1. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      A

  6. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    What's the news on Schar?

    I was planning Mee to Chilwell but should I change that to Schar?

    Defence is:
    Trip Schar Zinc Mee Estup

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      I just did Schar->Chilwell with one of my FT's

    2. DavvaMC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Not sure, I think he stars IMO.

  7. it lies in the proles
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Anyone going for Joao Felix instead of Havertz?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Yes but maybe both

  8. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Gawd, managed to miss that Trippier price rise even while monitoring price rises closely

  9. The Philosopher
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Best defender under 4.4?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Mings

    2. GC123
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Fofana

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        Is he nailed? Would love to double on their defence

        1. GC123
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 21 days ago

          Flagged but I think k he’s fit. Potter seems to prefer him to Badiashile which pees me off as I own the latter

  10. The Knights Template
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    It’s nice to know I won’t be benching any points this week.

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      God for you pal, good for you

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        I’m sure he is.

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      I don't think I'll be fielding too many either tbh

    3. The Mantis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      same, 30 on my bench last week. BB next week, hopefully makes up for it

    4. tibollom
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      haha indeed, same here! Who are you captaining Sir?

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        Kane

  11. AZERTY
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    On WC, Please advice on the last Midfielder slot:

    Kepa / Ward
    Trip / Gabriel / Chilwell / Burn / Estu
    Maddison / Odegard / Saka / Rashford / XXX
    Kane / Watkins / Havertz

    A) Almiron
    B) Mac Allister
    C) Benrahma
    D) Other (?)

    Thanks!

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      I think you need a Brighton mid.

      1. donbagino
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        Yes, Brighton midd needed. Ward's place under threath from Iversen

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Definitely Mac

    3. Oasthouse FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      I’d go Mitoma

  12. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    FH team:

    a. James
    b. Gabriel

    1. Watkins
    2. Havertz

    ???

    1. Eastman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      b1

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Differentials or safe picks?

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        Need a bit of differential.

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 21 days ago

          A2

        2. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 21 days ago

          But Felix instead of Havertz

          1. Boss Hogg
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 21 days ago

            Thanks

  13. Eastman
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Burn or Botman to go with Trippier on a WC?

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Botman.

    2. MattyW
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Botman

    3. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Whoever gets more bps, not much between them though

    4. Oasthouse FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Botman more nailed

  14. MattyW
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Last defender for this week and doubles

    a) Rico Henry LEI, BRI, Man U
    b) Castagne BRE, PAL, Villa

  15. Salalalalah
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Why so much love for Kane as C this week, SOU has been defending well lately?
    If there is a week to take a captain punt, it's this one.
    Anyone fancing Chilwell or Toney?

    1. MattyW
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Toney for me (Kane owner too)

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      I’m captaining Ronnie Rosenthal.
      Always bangs then in against Southampton.

    3. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      I think Toney is a good option this week

  16. myteamissheeeeeeeet
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Hey, Haaland to Watkins for free and then field 11?

    A. Yes
    B. Nah

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Yep

    2. Johnny too hotty
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      why would you sell Harrland will you not lose loads of value?

      1. tibollom
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        who cares at this stage about tv

      2. tibollom
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        hallaand has 1 games vs 3 for watkins

      3. myteamissheeeeeeeet
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        I’ll lose 0.3. I really don’t want to get rid but Watkins will have 3 games to his 1!

    3. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      sold haaland 3 weeks ago for Watkins
      2.5m OR

    4. tibollom
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      yea

    5. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Go for it. Only way to gain rank is to give in form players more chances to get you points. Haaland is not going to be captain in GW29 so you can get him later

  17. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    A provided you have route back no later than week 30

  18. Manani
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    tark > Chiwell (-4)??

    will set me up for next week, another non playing defender is Estupina but dont want to switch him out due to the double

  19. Supernintendo Chalmers
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Help appreciated

    A: Estupinan to 1: James // 2: Koulibali // 3: Gabriel
    (I'm 0.1 off Chilwell and dont think he's worth a hit)

    B: Mitoma to Almiron and switch back next week

    All options for free and would field 10 this GW

    Thanks!

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      B

  20. it lies in the proles
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    On FH, Martinelli or Son?

    1. MattyW
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Son

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Son

  21. Rmonfries
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Already got Saka and Odegaard.
    After both playing 120 minutes: would you play Martinelli or Gabriel? (Or alternative Arsenal defender?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Gabi

  22. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    What's your plan for gw30 on Brighton midfielders?Would you bench them and start a defender instead?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Playing the mf vs spurs

  23. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    On a wc. Billing or Maddison

    Havertz or Toney

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Maddison, Toney

  24. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Going into this week with 10, but will bench boost next week after doing White > James, so my SGW players will be Haaland, Kane and Saka.

    Looks like a good plan?

    Kepa (Ward)
    Trippier, Henry, White, Chilwell
    Maddison, Saka, Almiron
    Kane (C), Toney

    Blanks: Mitoma, Haaland, Estup., Rashford

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      How convinced are you that Almiron plays? I like him for the coming weeks.

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        Gordon is out, Wilson isn’t training, I expect Almiron to play

  25. tibollom
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Who to captain guys? im chasing a few points...Currently on Kane but Spurs arent very good away..

    Kepa
    Pinnock White Trippier Mings
    Saka Ode Maddison
    Toney Kane Watkins

    Raya Rash mitoma veltman

  26. Gunners in Haaland
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Havertz or Isak?

  27. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    I only picked Schar because of GW28 and 29. What a bad luck.

  28. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    White stays in my squad with injuries to Tomi and Saliba

  29. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Didn't think I'd end up on a -8, possibly -12, but here we are
    Funny game, FPL

    1. Milk, 1 Šuker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      You got your WC still?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        Unfortunately not

    2. footballcandy
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Just did myself, see below! Join the party!

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      What were your transfers?

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 21 days ago

        Haaland -> Kane (last night)
        Darwin -> Watkins (not done)
        Salah -> Maddison (not done)
        Schär -> Chilwell (not done, not sure)

  30. footballcandy
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 21 days ago

    Locked this for a -8, would you be happy?

    Raya
    Chil, Trip, Mee, White
    Øde, Saka, Almiron
    Toney(c), Kane, Havertz

    I genuinly think Brentford will beat Leicester and keep tight at the back (hence no Maddison).

    Three home games for Havertz has to have better odds on overall returns vs. Watkins

    Almiron to avoid internal conflicts

    Saving WC/FH for later. BB29.

    1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 21 days ago

      Looks good for this week.
      Don't think I agree on Brentford v Leicester
      Good luck anyways!
