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 this insane move for -8p?

    Kane, Bruno and Saka out
    Jota, Salah and Grealish in

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Nope. Would hold a week if possible and then -4.

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I mean not insane but hold if possible.

  2. Men in green tights

    Who do I play out of grealish or March?

    1. Moneymar
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Grealish

      1. Men in green tights
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Cheers

    2. That Fantasy Guy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Grealish

    3. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Unpopular but march imo.

    4. space mercenary
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Grealish. Di Zerbi's comments could mean Buaonanotte starting in #10 role or in place of March / Mitoma.

    5. DangerFC
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Grealish

      1. Men in green tights
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks for all the responses

    Lack of team news is not favourable.

    Not feeling confident on WC.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Relax WC always goes wrong anyway.

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        The only thing chips guarantee is the feeling of regret

  4. That Fantasy Guy

    Bottomed:
    Any feedback please:

    On wild card in prep for BB in 34:

    Ederson - Iversen
    VDD - Trippier - Akanji - AWB - Estupinan
    Salah - Mitoma - March - Rashford - Andreas
    Watkins - Haaland - Jota

    Akanji or Stones?
    Will do Watkins -> Martial next week
    Thanks

    1. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Seems ok

      Bench won't be great though

    2. DangerFC
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Stones

  5. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    What to do here with 1 ft? I guess it's Salah for Kane decision time?

    Kepa
    Trippier Botman Estupinian
    Mitoma MacAllister Rashford Grealish
    Kane Watkins Haaland

    (DDG Saka Gabriel Mee)

    1. djman102
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Strong team. I would probably risk holding for one week and do Kane/Saka --> Salah/(Jota?) for free next week (actually, I'd probably do a -4 next week to get Trent in as well if possible).

  6. FantasyHero
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Play chilwell or boatman?

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Chilwell if you have trip

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Botman

  7. The Senate
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Pages going so quickly I can’t get an opinion on my dilemma, even with 2h to go!

    Mad to take the risk on Steele, even with plenty of cash ITB to move to Sanchez GW34 if I need to? Should I just take the extra cost of going for Leno and Dunk instead?

    1. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Brighton spots too valuable to get in a GK mess imo

      1. The Senate
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I don’t habe Space for a second mid, so it’s Dunk, Webster or GK for me

  8. space mercenary
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Did anyone beat a FH fodder bench score of 32 last week btw?

  9. DangerFC
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bench one

    Eze
    Saka
    Martinelli
    Mitoma

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Saka or Marti

    2. Moneymar
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Saka

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

      Perfect I'm on saka. Il stick with it

    4. Bury94
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I'm benching Saka over Martinelli I think

  10. NotNowKato
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Have I got my team right please? I kinda feel like I'm leaving points on the bench, but not sure.

    Raya

    Trippier Schar Alexander-Arnold

    Odegaard. Marinelli. Olise Salah

    Isak Haaland Watkins.

    Bench is

    Mitoma Wan Bissaka Gabriel.

    Benching headache!

    Please help!

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Rather start Mitoma than Olise personally

    2. Chrisaa87
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Ode bench, mitoma play

  11. The Left Duke #3

  12. Firminooooo
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Start Grealish or March?

    1. Christina.
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Im starting Grealish

    2. tim
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Grealish here

  13. Christina.
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Just moved Bowen to my starting line up
    March on the pine

    1. The Senate
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I tend to associate pine more with December than March

    2. Bubbles1985
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I like it.

      I don't see Liverpool winning against WH.

      1. Christina.
        • 16 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        I have Jota, Bowen and Maddison as differentials
        Lets see.

        1. Bob.
          • 15 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Good luck. I have Maddison and JWP

        2. Bubbles1985
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 11 months ago

          Nice.

          I have transferred Maddison to Rash. Waiting to get Liv players in next week, so it stops me taking a hit and I do not think WH will rollover at home.

          GL!

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

    Who scores more this GW?

    A) Chilwell (BRE)
    B) Trent (whu)

    1. Bob.
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      B

    2. JJO
      • 13 Years

      A

  15. Hansel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Best upgrade here for this GW only? WC after

    A) Kepa -> Pope (starting Chilwell too)
    B) Mahrez -> Grealish
    C) MacA -> Mitoma
    D) Mahrez -> any mid up to 9.4

    1. Moneymar

  16. Freshy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Thinking I roll my FT this GW

    Arrizabalaga(BRE-H)
    Trippier(EVE-A)-Moreno(FUL-H)-Estupiñán(NFO-A)
    Mitoma(NFO-A)-Grealish(ARS-H)-MacAllister(NFO-A)-Martinelli(MCI-A)
    Haaland-C-(ARS-H)-Kane-(MUN-H)-Watkins-VC-(FUL-H)
    Raya(CHE-A)-Saka(MCI-A)-Chillwell(BRE-H)Zinchenko(MCI-A)

    Spurs will roll at home after their last no show
    ARS will nick a goal, betting on Marty
    Next week is Pool time (Will know better if Kane to Jota is a great move)

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Spurs will roll over at home more like...

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        they were humiliated
        they will play like gods
        the have Harry Fu(#$in Kane

    2. TanN
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      That's a great team!

      Well prepared for upcoming doubles to!

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I see you're in the Whiskey league too Freshy. I wonder if there really is a whiskey bottle for the winner...

      1. Freshy
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        lots of rules against mailing alcoholic beverages in most countries
        tight at the top of that league

  17. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    If you have exact funds to do Kane and Saka to Salah & Jota would you do it for a -4 this week?

    Or would you bring in Isak instead of Jota, so you have some money in the bank to upgrade Chilwell to Trent for 34.

    1. Bob.
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Money for Trent option

      1. Kodap
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        okay, so Saka and Kane > Salah and Isak for a -4? Leaves me 2m in the bank to do Chilly to Taa.

  18. Waltomade
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Best one week punt?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Haaland

      Or KDB

  19. FantasyTony
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Thoughts on Dalot starting the next 3 games?

    1. JJO
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Tough question
      Should play 2 at least

  20. Maddamotha
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Bench Saka or March? Playing Mitoma

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Saka

    2. JJO
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      I am benching March

    3. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Bench Saka

  21. TanN
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    GTG right? Roll the FT?

    Kepa
    Trent Trippier Mings
    Salah Martinelli Grealish Mitoma
    Haaland Isak Watkins

    Raya Olise Henry Gabriel

    I'll be looking at moreno/estupinan for Henry soon and Olise yo Mac or March hopefully

    1. djman102
      • 16 Years

      gtg imo

  22. zensum
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Is it crazy to do Eze or Martinelli to Grealish for -4?

    And who would u start: Ming’s or Estupinan? Why?

    Appreciate your help Thk u

    1. djman102
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      hit is risky. I'd probably wait and do Martinelli --> Grealish next week.

      I'd start Mings. NFO decent at home and Fulham don't have much to play for now.

  23. JJO
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    A) TAA + Isak
    B) Ederson + Jota?

    That's more leaning to Sanchez but he could still prefer Steele's style of play with the team from the back

    "I have no doubts about Rob Sanchez. When I decided Jason played, it was about style of play.

    "Rob played very well on Sunday. Tomorrow, we will see." #BHAFC

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Sanchez playing would be just great before all the dgws.

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      Would be a pain if Steele was dropped, but having Leno as my other keeper could make for a fun DGW34.

      1. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 11 months ago

        Yep better for you. I have Kepa vs Arsenal 😀

  26. Johnny too hotty
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Lads,
    74 behind and chasing, we both have FH left.
    Foolish of me to captain Harland this week right, im guessing I need to go different.

    A - Salah (he has him)
    B - Rashford (he doesnt)
    C - Gakpo (he doesnt)
    D - RObertson (he doesnt)

    I feel the gap is so big that i have little choice?

  27. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    Don't think iv much to lose at this stage as I'm in 6th in ML 74 pts behind 2nd place.

    Saka/Toney/Kane➡️Salah/Isak/
    Watkins -8

    OR

    Saka/Toney➡️Rashford/Isak -4

    FH gw 34

  28. steven8991

    Bench 1

    A. Chillwel (have Kepa)
    B. Trippier

  29. Hazardous1983
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    start shaw or botman

    1. djman102
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 11 months ago

      In a similar dilemma with Shaw & Estupinan.

      Think Botman outscores Shaw.

  30. Hazardous1983
    • 15 Years
    2 years, 11 months ago

    steele looks like being benched then
