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, chip strategy 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.

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.

    Rice. BrunoG. Rogers. Rice.
    Thiago. Watkins. Haaland.

    Sanchez. Chalobah. VdV. BrunoF.

    0.6 ITB

    1. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      1 day, 5 hours ago

      First Rice is Enzo. Got to keep doing this.

      1. jayzico
        • 14 Years
        1 day, 5 hours ago

        LOL. STOP doing this I mean (Just woke up)

    Gabriel. Nunes. Keane.
    Enzo. BrunoG. Rogers. Rice.
    Thiago. Watkins. Haaland.

    Sanchez. Chalobah. VdV. BrunoF.

    Thoughts?

    1. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      1 day, 4 hours ago

      Myko over Keane maybe considering Branth return?

    2. Ray85
      • 7 Years
      1 day, 4 hours ago

      Not sure on Nunes, with Dias & Gvardiol both out City might struggle defensively.

      1. jayzico
        • 14 Years
        1 day, 4 hours ago

        Agreed

    3. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      1 day, 4 hours ago

      Looks decent.

      I guess there's doubts over City defence with so many injuries, and is Keane a risk with Branthwaite back soon?

      I don't know what impact a new boss will have on Chelsea, but fixtures are good.

      1. jayzico
        • 14 Years
        1 day, 4 hours ago

        All true. May go double Everton here

  10. hariv
    • 2 Years
    1 day, 5 hours ago

    Which three or four defenders should start?

    A) Chalobah vs ful(A)
    B) Guehi vs AVL(H)
    C) O'Reilly vs BHA(H)
    D) Konsa vs cry(A)
    E) Keane vs VOL(H)

    Thanks

      watkins

    2. Ray85
      • 7 Years
      1 day, 4 hours ago

      A cheap one and upgrade midfield or defence. Not as much value in strikers.

    3. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      1 day, 4 hours ago

      Mane

  12. Apollo Sanchez

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years

  13. Ray85

    Szoboslai to Enzo or Grealish or save FT & play Dorgu?

    1. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      1 day, 4 hours ago

      As much as I'd hope ManU to keep Burnley out - I don't.

      Enzo

      1. Ray85
        • 7 Years
        1 day, 4 hours ago

        Over Grealish? Yeah I have no hope for United however Dorgu is almost RW these days!

  14. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    1 day, 5 hours ago

    Who to buy?
    A - Bruno G
    B - Rogers

    1. Ray85
      • 7 Years

      B

    2. jayzico
      • 14 Years
      1 day, 4 hours ago

      50/50 for me. Had to have both.

  15. cammyhogg99
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 2 Years
    1 day, 4 hours ago

    Start
    Wilson vs CHE (H)
    or
    O'Rielly vs BHA (H)

  16. FantasyFooty01
    • 8 Years
    1 day, 4 hours ago

    Dubravka
    Dorgu Timber O’Reilly Gabriel
    Foden Saka Cunha Minteh
    Haaland Ekitike
    Verbruggen Richards Potts Barnes
    0.4 ITB 1 FT

    Really need to shift Minteh before deadline, who is my best option? Maybe le fee then use the funds elsewhere

  17. beerhockeyrock
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    1 day, 3 hours ago

    Hold Guehi? Got him cheap, assuming he goes to City, will he start?

    Just did Timber > Thiaw and Minteh > Rice -4 but it set up a better team for this week and I had the exact amount of $$
    Sitting at 188K

    Verb/Dubs
    Gabby, Thiaw, Dorgu (Guehi, Aldrete)
    Saka, Rice, Foden, Cunha (Miley)
    Ekitike, Thiago, Haaland

    GW 24 (gonna try to save transfers)
    Ekitike downgrade to 4.5, play 4-4-2
    Foden Cunha can become B Fernandes and maybe Rogers, Enzo or other emerging mid
    Dorgu to Tarkowski

    Good to go ?

  18. hoyaholic

    Transfered Thiago > Bowen last week....
    Considering to go back to Thiago, otherwise rolling the transfer.

    Or do you think there are more important moves:

    Verbruggen
    Gabriel O'Riley Senesi Cash
    Saka Foden Cunha BrunoG
    Bowen Haaland

    Dubravka Mukiele HWilson Guiu
    1.4 itb

  19. Iceball
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 day, 1 hour ago

    Start VVD or Ekiteke?
