With Gameweek 33 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) just hours away, 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 benching dilemmas, differentials, the forthcoming doubles 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.

    Is it actually viable to go without Salah in GW34? I have 5 doubling midfielders already and ignoring Salah means I can get Jota and Trent for free, which would give me 10 outfield doublers. Another reason why I'm thinking this is viable is that most people will captain Haaland anyway, so Salah's not as much of a must have in that sense?

      Everything is viable until they haul.

    Im struggling on GK combo on WC and doing BB34. Which one please?

    A) Edersen + Iversen
    B) Edersen + Steele
    C) Edersen + DDG
    D) DDG + Iversen
    E) DDG + Steele

    1. abcdef3

      Probably A or D. Simply because picking two doubling keepers means you're limiting yourself to only playing 2 players from one of those teams in DGW37

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years

        This is true actually. Didn't remember both Utd and City double in GW37.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years

      C

    Afternoon all...

    Steele, (Raya)

    Trippier, Shaw, Mings, (Botman, Henry)

    Salah, Maddison, Martinelli, March, (Andreas)

    Haaland(c), Jota, Watkins

    A) Good to go
    B) Play Botman instead of Shaw
    C) Botman to TAA for a -4 and play TAA instead of Shaw

    Will be FH in 34 so if not C, TAA will be in for that.

    Thanks

    1. Zola

      C should actually read, Henry to TAA.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        C if you don't mind a hit.

    2. abcdef3

      I'm playing Botman over Shaw currently but that's only because I have Kane and don't like having two players against each other. Shaw has higher upside so if you're chasing I'd say go for it.

    3. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years

      A

  4. ididnt

    Pick an option:

    A. Chilly > TAA free
    B. Maddy > Rashford free
    C. Both for a hit
    D. Maddy/Kane > Salah/Isak for a hit
    E. Maddy/Kane > Rasford/Jota for a hit

      Legend..lol

  6. Kodap

    Saka & Kane > Salah & Isak for -4, yay or nay?

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I am doing it but I would hold for a week if possible.

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Wait and do it for free in GW34?

    3. bc82
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Maybe get martial for the double game week instead of Isaak?

  7. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Who is more essential this and next gw. Salah or Trent?

    1. abcdef3
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      I started this week thinking Salah, I've now changed my mind to Trent. Just because of the other midfield options compared to the other defenders

  8. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Final call, play one:
    A) Saka
    B) MacA

    1. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Saka

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      A) because of pens I guess

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 7 months ago

        Oh it's Mac and not Marti. Still A) I think

    3. abcdef3
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Horrible choice, I think I'd go MacAllister

  9. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Done this yesterday, doesnt feel right tbh

    Kane Saka ➡ Haaland(c) Grealish -4

    Kane and Saka will get dirty penalties wont they?

    1. abcdef3
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      That makes perfect sense on paper, don't worry about it

  10. Gardaa
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Which two to start out of Watkins, Isak and Bruno?

    1. RonanG
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Leave out injured Bruno.

  11. RonanG
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Always planned to get Salah and Isak or Toney this week for Kane/Bruno. Then in a rush of blood decided to get in KDB/Grealish/Jota instead for Kane/Bruno/McAllister before any price increases. Too late to do anything about it now and don't completely regret it. Where's the KDB love expectation though? It's all about Salah. Is rotation the main risk? I see Man City winning every game between now and season end and they've one more to play than Liverpool.

    1. Nazz
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      You'll be ok pretty good transfers

  12. Nazz
    • 11 Years

    Rashford, Salah, Mitoma, Grealish
    Watkins, Kane, Haarland

    Kepa, Macallistair, Shaw, Mee

    Thank youu

    1. Nazz
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 7 months ago

      Should I just play Shaw over schar?

  13. bc82
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Rate my WC team? 0.1 itb

    Ederson (Iverson)
    TAA Stones Tripp (Tito Dalot)
    Salah Rash March Mitoma Andreas
    Halland Jota (Martial)

    Any suggestions welcome:)

    Should I get Steele?

    Is stones worth it over estu + Shaw for Dalot

  14. Leeroy357
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 7 months ago

    Any suggestions on wildcard?

    Ederson - Iverson
    Trent - Trippier - Stones - Estupinan - Shaw
    Salah - Rashford - Martinelli - Mitoma - Andreas
    Haaland - Isak - Martial

    Not sure on Martial at all but not sure any similar priced alternatives are any better either

      Same, but he's the target man for Manu.. Bruno out, rash been out too

  15. swanseag55

    I am now benching Moreno and playing Macallister, Andreas, Chilwell, TAA.
    Is that the right thing to do? I had originally benched Macallister
