After a bumper international break, 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 specific players, captaincy, 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 Chief Scout 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.

      Probably Ode to Saka yes. Or you upgrade Konsa and eliminate the injury risk there..

      I like it although I’d probably leave a tad more flexibility to get to a more expensive premium mid like Palmer or Bruno but Bruno for me is overpriced anyway

        Bruno false 9 with Cunha/Mboom either side would be the smart play

        Tielemans 10 and a bit of physicality next to Kobbie, Licha maybe

    3 FTs, 0.0m ITB.

    Kinsky (Dubravka)
    Cala, Vuskovic, Konsa (Thomas, Muharemovic)
    Saka, Palmer, Rogers, MGW (Slater)
    Haaland, JP, Barry

    A. Roll to 4 FTs (play Thomas if Konsa is out)
    B. Konsa > Affengruber
    C. MGW, Konsa, Kinsky > Gross, Affengruber, Raya

    A seems obvious to me but curious if anyone feels differently.

    All opinions appreciated!

    Isak out and Konsa flagged not ideal here. Just play Muharemovic and DCL if necessary or use a FT? 1 ITB

    Raya
    Tark, Konsa*, Munoz, Gvardiol
    Saka, Rogers, Palmer, Gross, MGW
    Isak*

    Muharemovic, DCL, Walle Egeli
