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, 3 months ago

      Toney

    2. FISSH
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Kane

    3. DanJN
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Havertz

  4. Bigler
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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, 3 months 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, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      A

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

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

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

      Not sure, I think he stars IMO.

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

    Anyone going for Joao Felix instead of Havertz?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yes but maybe both

  8. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

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

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

    Best defender under 4.4?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Mings

    2. GC123
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Fofana

      1. Venom Snake
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Is he nailed? Would love to double on their defence

        1. GC123
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

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

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      God for you pal, good for you

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

        I’m sure he is.

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

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

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

    4. tibollom
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

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

        Kane

  11. AZERTY
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      I think you need a Brighton mid.

      1. donbagino
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

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

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Definitely Mac

    3. Oasthouse FC
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’d go Mitoma

  12. Boss Hogg
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    FH team:

    a. James
    b. Gabriel

    1. Watkins
    2. Havertz

    ???

    1. Eastman
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      b1

    2. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Differentials or safe picks?

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Need a bit of differential.

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          A2

        2. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          But Felix instead of Havertz

          1. Boss Hogg
            • 16 Years
            3 years, 3 months ago

            Thanks

  13. Eastman
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Burn or Botman to go with Trippier on a WC?

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Botman.

    2. MattyW
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Botman

    3. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Whoever gets more bps, not much between them though

    4. Oasthouse FC
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Botman more nailed

  14. MattyW
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Toney for me (Kane owner too)

    2. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

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

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

      I think Toney is a good option this week

  16. myteamissheeeeeeeet
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

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

    A. Yes
    B. Nah

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yep

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

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

      1. tibollom
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        who cares at this stage about tv

      2. tibollom
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        hallaand has 1 games vs 3 for watkins

      3. myteamissheeeeeeeet
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      sold haaland 3 weeks ago for Watkins
      2.5m OR

    4. tibollom
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      yea

    5. Salalalalah
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

    A provided you have route back no later than week 30

  18. Manani
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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, 3 months 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

      B

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

    On FH, Martinelli or Son?

    1. MattyW
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Son

    2. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Son

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

      Gabi

  22. Old Wulfrunian
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

      Playing the mf vs spurs

  23. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    On a wc. Billing or Maddison

    Havertz or Toney

    1. The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Maddison, Toney

  24. The Tinkerman
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

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

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

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

  25. tibollom
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

    Havertz or Isak?

  27. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 3 months 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, 3 months ago

    White stays in my squad with injuries to Tomi and Saliba

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

      You got your WC still?

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

        Unfortunately not

    2. footballcandy
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Just did myself, see below! Join the party!

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      What were your transfers?

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

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