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, differentials, 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.

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.

Raya
Gabriel - NOR - Diouf
Bruno (c) - Semenyo - Trossard - MGW
Welbeck - Haaland - Thiago

Dubravka - Hill - Wilson - Andersen

Leading my ML by a measly 1 point so feel like my final FT is crucial! 1FT, 2.2ITB

A) Wilson > Szobosli & bench Trossard
B) Andersen > Mavropanos & bench Trossard or Diouf
C) Other option??

Thanks for this Tom!

Saved my BB for a hail mary on the last GW to try and make up 25-odd points. Only 1 FT to play with, but planning to go all out and take a -8 as 2nd place is fairly secure.

Current Team:
Raya / Dubravka
Gabriel / O'Reilly / Thiaw / Mukiele / Tarkowski
Saka / Bruno / Cherki / KDH / Wilson
Haaland / Joao Pedro / Thiago

I know there is a lot of rotation risk on the City/Arsenal players now, but going to live with that as the leader has the same players (except Saka). I know Dubravka is unlikely to play, but don't see the sense in a hit for a GK. I want to bring in players who have the potential for double figure hauls. So thinking this treble for players with a higher upside:

Tarkowski > Porro
Wilson > MGW
Joao Pedro> Richarlison

Fairly set on Porro and Richarlison, but would Bruno G / Szoboszlai / Anthony be better shouts than MGW in midfield? Or should I take out Thiago instead of JP?? Thanks in advance!

  Hello!
  
  Yeah, Porro + Richarlison I like.
  
  I'd slightly favour a Bournemouth midfielder over Gibbs-White I think. They haven't lost in 17 games, while Forest have looked really open recently.
  
  Maybe Summerville could be a cheap option, too. Must-win match for West Ham.

Current team:

Darlow
Mavropanos | Gabriel | Virgil
(B)runo | Cherki | Saka | Doku
Gyokeres | Beto | Haaland

Lammens, Wilson, Van Hecke, Heaven

1 FT, 0.1 itb

With the exception of (maybe?) Gabriel, I don't expect my Arsenal assets to start or play a major role. Thinking of the following:

Saka >>> Salah
Gyokeres >>> Fleming

but I cannot afford it (I think 0.3 short, last I checked). I don't love my GKs, but I also don't want to spend to replace one. So it has to be one of Doku, Cherki or Gabriel. What to do? TIA!

Just got home and seen the England squad announced.
You can say I might have my red and blue spectacles on but how the hell is Henderson and Mainoo ahead of Wharton, someone who has played so well all season and can pick out a killer pass /assist at will - something we are lacking badly. Crazy decision.
