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.

    1. Oasthouse FC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      March for me, have Olise as first sub

  4. El Copo
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Play Chillwell or Shaw?

    Also Mac Allister or Kane, but I’m pretty set on Kane there.

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Play Chilly and Sir Harry.

  5. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Start Grealish or March?

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I want to get one of them instead of Saka with a hit 🙁

    2. tim
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Grealish here, March first on bench

    3. AndrewL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Grealish for me

  6. Magic Hamster
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bench one

    A) Eze
    B) Martinelli
    C) Saka
    D) Maddison
    E) March

    1. Je suis le chat
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      One of the Ars boys. Marti for me.

      1. Magic Hamster
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah that's who I'm on just now.

    2. Brehmeren
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Eze

  7. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 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.

    1. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Second one. Watkins has a nice fixture this week, but I think fixtures after are middling - not worth a hit at this point.

      That said, I am benching Rashford so potentially also not worth the hit. Can you just do the first one without Toney to Watkins?

      1. camarozz
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I can't do Saka➡️Salah for free if that's wat u mean.

        1. Biggsy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 10 months ago

          No. I mean Saka&Kane to Salah&Isak

    3. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Wouldn't give away more points. Left hand side could easily outscore rhs.

      Especially if free hitting next week. I'd probably just look to do something like Toney to Isak.

  8. Je suis le chat
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bench Mitoma, March or Toney? Ta.

    1. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      March

    2. OptimusBlack
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Toney

      1. Je suis le chat
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks guys, torn on this.

  9. The Final Boss
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Kane Bruno to solanke salah for a hit or save and start martinelli?

  10. Biggsy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Think i'm going to be boring and roll. Bench looking right?

    Raya
    Chilwell, Trippier, Estupinan
    Mitoma, Martinelli, Saka, Grealish
    Kane, Haaland (c), Watkins

    Kepa, Rashford, Shaw, Botman

    Benching Rashford is hard, but United and him aren't great away from home, don't see Spurs capitulating againg and only real alternative is Saka who I think has better chance of a return.

    1. Tigger_7
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'm thinking same with Rashford. On WC and might bring in James Ward Prowse now and switch back to Rashford next week.

  11. Visionaries
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    How's this WC?

    Sanchez
    Shaw, Trent, Tripp, (Nico, Coufal)
    Grealish, Salah, Rashford, Anthony, Mitoma
    Haaland, Jota, (Ferguson)

    Have 1.0 itb so could get Ederson. Anthony a huge risk, but have to take a punt unfortunately

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Feguson expected back any time soon? Seems a waste of a Brighton spot with all their doubles. Go Greenwood if you want fodder. Sanchez looks unlikely to play enough games - better with Iveson as a backup if you go Ederson

  12. AndrewL
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Reece James to TAA worth it for a hit this week?

    1. ididnt
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      For sure

    2. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Yes..

  13. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    A. Chilwell > TAA - free
    B. Chilly & Kane > TAA & Jota -4
    C. Maddy & Kane > Salah & Isak -4

    1. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      C

  14. The Final Boss

    Just saw the 5 years mark alongside my username. Happy 5 year in FFS for myself 🙂

  15. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    In your opinion what is better for a -8

    Saka, Maddison & Kane > March, Salah & Jota

    or

    Saka, Mee & Kane > Salah, Estupinian & Isak

    Any ideas would be welcomed. Thank you

    1. camarozz

      A imo. Help me out above

    2. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'd be tempted to roll and do them next week for one less hit....

  16. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Close. First option.

    1. The Final Boss
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Open. Last option.

      1. ididnt

  18. Kantelele
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Bench two :
    A) TAA
    B) Robertson
    C) Bowen
    D) Martinelli
    E) Toney

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      DE

  19. Big Mac 24
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Steele or Alison? Thinking Steele as West Ham are firing right now. But, I think United are only team to keep Forest from scoring at home.

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Steele, playing is doubt though. I will be very annoyed if he lost his spot before all the dgws.

  20. tiger
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    pick one pair for the rest of the season

    A) Ederson + Dalot
    B) De Gea + Stones

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      B

  21. DAZZ
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    I have a 56 point lead over second, currently 6K. Very template team, guy in second has WC and BB. Chances of him catching me?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      6

    2. ididnt
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Almost certain

    3. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Easily if played his chips correctly, 56 pts is not that much, fingers crossed for ya though!

  22. Johan Queef
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Start

    A)Kepa or
    B)Raya?
    Also have Chilwell.

    1) Schar

      G2G. Who are you benching?

      1. meule
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Iversen, toti, Estupinan March for now

  24. Geordie19
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    What 3 to start
    Trippier, Estupinan, Mings, Botman, Chilwell …

    Have Kepa in goal already.
    Thank you

    1. djman102
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      I'd start Trippier, Mings, and Botman (toss up w/Chilwell)

  25. Kodap
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 10 months ago

    Chasing a bit so might aswell, haven't taken many hits this season..

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

    1. Mirror Man
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Rollerblades will help you to go faster but you'll look like a bit of a dork unless paired with jorts, large glittery shades, an afro, and electric jazz hands. Hope this helps. Good luck on the chase.

    2. Remo85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Hi Tom,

      Start Solanke, Eze or Shaw?

      Cheers

    3. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      People really think Wilson may start over Isak, with Isak getting withdrawn early and playing a blinder? It would hurt if so

      1. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        Not necessarily this GW - no one can tell you that.

        But Wilson will start multiple games between now and the end of the season. And unless we’re losing they won’t play together and both will play some part in every game if fit.

        Isak can still haul - but even if we have more fixtures someone like Watkins will likely play more minutes in total

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

        It's what happened in DGW29.

        For what it's worth, I'm starting Isak. If he starts, great. If he's benched then likely he comes on for 30 mins either to chase a goal or with Everton open as they are chasing a goal.

      3. BobbyDoesNotLook
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        I don't. He was saved for next games since the game was over.

    4. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Are West Ham good at defending set pieces?

    5. zensum
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Repost:

      Eze or Martinelli to Grealish for -4? If yes which?

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

      Appreciate your help Thk u

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 10 months ago

        No

        Mings home game

    6. ididnt
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 10 months ago

      Which transfer to make:

      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
