Whether it’s questions on your latest team draft, specific players, captaincy or anything in between, Scout’s Deputy Editor will tackle whatever’s thrown at him.

He’ll 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.

    A) Ekitike + minteh
    Or
    B) Joao Pedro + Gakpo ?

    1. marcos11
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      B

  2. theshazly
    • 3 Years
    10 months, 1 day ago

    Team is:

    Sels (Dub)
    Porro RAN Diouf (DeCuyper/Gudmnssn)
    Salah Reijnders Palmer KDH Wirtz
    Watkins Gyokeres (Guiu)

    Choose one :

    1 - VDV / Georginho Rutter
    2 - Porro / KDH

    And if its KDH, shall I bench him for DeCuyper in GW1 ?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      2

    Can anyone tell me why this 4 premium plus 6m defender draft doesn't work? Looks suspiciously nice to me:

    Verbruggen (Dubravka)
    Ait-Nouri Konsa Diouf (Dorgu Esteve)
    Salah Palmer Reijnders P.M.Sarr Carvalho
    Haaland Watkins (Guiu)

    1. Puntillimon
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Looks good

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      It's perfectly fine. Ignore anyone who says it's not "balanced"

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Very good

    4. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Sarr and Carvalho might end up early transfers out. Dango on his way to Brentford, not sure where he'll play but the money being mentioned surely makes him a starter over somebody. Spurs linked with loads of players still

    5. Sanchit
      • 10 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Looks good!
      You should be open to Sell one of Salah/Haaland and spread funds if one of Bruno/Wirtz/Saka set the league on fire.

    6. Mozumbus
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      It comes down to something like this
      A. Haaland + P.Sarr + Carvalho + Verb + Konsa
      B. Pedro + Writz + Kudus + Sels + Neco

      I think, I'd not do A

    7. rivo4england
      • 4 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Appreciate the feedback everyone, cheers! Fully prepared for Sarr or Carvalho being early transfers, but plenty of options, such as a 5.5 then a 4.5 bench fodder.

  4. UpAndAway
    • 12 Years
    10 months, 1 day ago

    Reijnders and Fullkrug of KDH and Stand Larsen?

    Thanks!

    1. marcos11
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      KDH JSL

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      I'm on the former

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      R&F

  5. hazza44
    • 13 Years
    10 months, 1 day ago

    Hi all,
    Any feedback appreciated. Still tossing up between Sels and Sanchez.

    Sels
    Murillo Porro Diouf
    Salah Palmer Wirtz Rogers Rejinders
    Watkins Pedro
    (Dubruv Konsa Esteve Guiu)

  6. OverTinker
    • 7 Years
    10 months, 1 day ago

    Kelleher
    Diouf Porro N. Williams
    Writz Palmer Bruno Gakpo Rogers
    Solanke Haaland(C)

    Dub - Moreno Guiu Esteve

    Suggestions please

    1. Snoopydog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 1 day ago

      I'd swap out Solanke for Mateta or Pedro.

    2. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Solanke-Mateta or bruno to wirtz+solanke-bowen maybe

  7. Flynny
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 1 day ago

    Is ait nouri nailed?

    Debating ait nouri v munoz...thanks

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      As nailed as a city player can be

    2. Snoopydog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Think he'll start this week but who knows after?

    3. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Even if RAN nailed, I’d go Munoz

  8. Real Pathetico
    • 11 Years
    10 months, 1 day ago

    RMT. I think I’m set!

    Sels (Dub)
    Cuc Konsa Williams (Gud Esteve)
    Salah Palmer Gakpo Roger Reijinders
    Watkins Gyo (Guiu)

    1. Snoopydog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Nice. GTG

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      GTG

    3. OptimusBlack
      • 13 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      GTG

  9. Snoopydog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 1 Year
    10 months, 1 day ago

    Kudus +0.5m itb or Rogers?

    Wavering between the two, but assuming Rogers is fit, which of the two would you pick? Have Watkins and VdV.

    1. JT11fc
      • 7 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Same prob here, at least Rogers is 100% nailed

      1. Snoopydog
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 1 Year
        10 months, 1 day ago

        Will see what Emery says in the presser. Anything less than "he's fine" and will probably go Kudus.

  10. NumberSix
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    10 months, 1 day ago

    Anything wrong with this?

    Sanchez (4m)
    Williams - AWB - Porro (Rodon/Reinildo)
    Rogers - Salah - Wirtz - Reijnders - KDH
    Haaland - Watkins (Guiu)

    Defence looks a bit shaky, would be nice to get Tark in. But downgrading Reijnders to Kudos to make that happen doesn’t feel worth it

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Nope, love it

    2. Snoopydog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 1 Year
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Nice

  11. justmatt
    • 10 Years
    10 months, 1 day ago

    If you could only have two of the three… who would you pick?

    A. Watkins
    B. Bruno
    C. Wirtz

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      AC

    2. chocolove

  12. x.jim.x

    Chances of their being a deadline reminder at the gig I’m at tonight?

    1. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Or me using the correct “there”?

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years

      Stop flexing your social life on us

      1. x.jim.x

        Sowwy, won’t mention the other one I’m going tomorrow then!

  13. La Roja
    • 14 Years
    10 months, 1 day ago

    Need a 7.5m striker

    A) JP ( have Cucu and Palmer)
    B) Solanke
    C) Wood

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Thinking about going Wood over Pedro regardless EO. Don't love Palace match up or West Ham away

      1. La Roja
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 1 day ago

        I’m on Solanke tbh. Not convinced though

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 months, 1 day ago

          Would be interested if he was starting

  14. Skout
    • 6 Years
    10 months, 1 day ago

    Thoughts please? Stick or switch?
    Kudus, Ndiaye, Bowen could be >> Bruno, Anderson, StrandLarsen/Fullkrug

    Verb
    Milenkovic Porro Diouf
    Salah Palmer Wirtz Ndiaye Kudus
    Watkins Bowen

    Dubravka Guiu Reinildo Esteve

  15. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Sanchez/Sels and Reinildo

    Kelleher and Van de Ven

    Rate these best to worst

    A) Bruno

    I've ended up with (what I think is) a decent BB team with 4m ITB!

    1. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      Let’s see these bad boys :mrgreen:

      1. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 14 Years
        10 months, 1 day ago

        Sels - Vicario
        Milenkovic - Murillo - Porro - Romero - Diouf
        Palmer - Wirtz - Rogers - Georgino - Reijnders
        Watkins - João - Fullkrug

        4ITB

        If I BB, I'll triple up on two defences, as I'm more high risk, high reward.

        1. La Roja
          • 14 Years
          10 months, 1 day ago

          Looks decent tbh. Best of luck!

          Ps: I’d upgrade one cheap milf to Gakpo

          1. The Pretender
            • 10 Years
            10 months, 1 day ago

            Keep the cheap milf!

          2. FPL Brains

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 14 Years
            10 months, 1 day ago

            I agree with you. Also, I think City might have a better chance of a cleanie than West Ham so may upgrade Diouf.

      I beg to differ my friend (above)

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years

        Crikey

    3. Sir Michael Taker
      • 11 Years
      10 months, 1 day ago

      I'm still seeing some, mainly in defence where theres a wide range of the Goldilocks spectrum cropping up. Attack is hard to be too different theres only like 10 playable ones in the game

  26. The Pep Revolution
    • 14 Years

    Is this ok for a BB in GW1 or are there any changes you would make?
