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 transfers, team selection, 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 P remium 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’s subject matter and talk about any other wider Fantasy Premier League (FPL) topics.

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.

        He'll be on the bench once Amad returns from AFCON.

Does Hincapie to Lewis Hall make sense here? I think Hincapie might start again but could be down to 2 defenders if not...

Raya
VVD Hincapie Van den Berg
Saka Foden Cunha Semenyo Wilson
Haaland Ekitike

John
Gabriel Fringpong Dorgu Hall
Palmer Cunha Cherki Wirtz

Sels Gordon Chalabah Mane

Only two decisions left

2. Do I start Chalobah over anyone else?

Any one selling Timber?

I'm thinking get Dorgu in for him ( No arsenal defence this week)
Then Gabby in for Lecroux next week.

I know it's Arteta but the training no show is worrying.

It would be nice to have a rating for number of days to prepare between games, and versus the opponent. E.g. for this week

Spare days between games:

Liverpool = 4
Leeds = 3

Man U = 3
Wolves = 2

Villa = 2
Arse = 2

Preparation delta:

Liverpool = +1
Leeds = -1

Man U = +1
Wolves = -1

Villa = 0
Arse = 0

Proportional Preparation delta :

Liverpool = 1.33
Leeds = 0.75

Man U = 1.50
Wolves = 0.67

Villa = 1.00
Arse = 1.00

Could feed it back into FDRs. Maybe that's already done in places. I dunno much about it. Just having a thought.

But here's one small reason to consider captaining Cunha over Ekitike

Starting Raya.

Play Hincapie or Lacroix?

  Lacroix has a nicer fixture and kept Fulham to 0.76 xG away home home in GW15. I would go for him. Hincapie also has competition from MLS which could see him play less than 60 (though this is unlikely)

    Thanks, well said. I think I'll bench him this week, I also feel he'll get less DEFCON at LB.
    
    Moving to Gabriel or downgrading with my transfer next week!
