The final international break of the season is over and the deadline for Double Gameweek 31 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is little more than a day away.

The questions on transfer dilemmas or chip strategy are coming thick and fast in the comments section and so it’s with that in mind that we’ve asked five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, to answer some of them over the next 60 minutes.

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.

As ever, you can chip in with your own opinions on the raft of RMT requests filtering through – and naturally, feel free to ignore the article subject matter and talk about any other wider FPL topics that you’d normally be musing on.

Don’t forget that, if it’s an algorithmic answer you’re after rather than an opinion-based one, we also have a â€˜Rate My Team’ tool available in the Premium Members Area.

    Hi, thoughts on going TAA and Kilman to James and Cancelo (already have Robbo). I’ll likely go Jiminez to Gelhardt next week, fh33 then get TAA back 34.
    Or just keep TAA and go either James or Cancelo this week alongside Jim to Gelhardt. I’m not sure either way!

    Hiya all - 0.2 ITB and wildcard active, what changes would you make?? Just replaced Dennis with Cucho… Get Weghorst? Replace Ramsdale?

    Ramsdale* (Foster)
    Robertson Cancelo James* Roberts(DGW) (Livramento)
    Salah Foden Saka Kulu (Martinelli)
    Kane Broja (Cucho)

    Thanks:)

    * 0 FT (-4 already this week)

    * BB, FH Remaining
    * Don’t have significant money tied up with any one player
    * Thinking about using BB in DGW33 (8 players currently have doubles)

    Jonny needs to go at some point before DGW33
    I’d like to get Bruno in for DGW33 (via Son)
    Wouldn’t mind replacing Odegaard

    Son -> Bruno
    Jonny -> Tierney
    Odegard -< Lennon (has DGW33)
    Odegaard -> Gordon (has DGW31, doesn’t have DGW33
    Jonny -> Tierney (has DGW33, projects higher than Jonny this week)

    What do you think?

    TAA BACK IN FULL TRAINING

    All moves on hold !

    1. TopBinFC
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Yeehawwww

    2. Root
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Damn. Already sold him for Jonjoe Kenny for a hit.

  6. TopBinFC
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Have WC and 1FH left, when should I use?

    1. Colonial
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      GW33 Fh and WC gw34

  7. godaytonflyers
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Sa - (Gunn)
    Robbo - Thiago Silva - Doherty - Tierney - (TAA)
    Son - Raphinha - Saka - Kulusevski - (Ramsey)
    Lacazette - Broja - Jimenez

    6.9 ITB and 1 free transfer. Considering Son/Jimenez/TAA to Salah/Kane/Cancelo for -8. Only issue is it's short term and leaves me with money too spread to get back to multiple City/Chelsea assets later.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think it's instructive that the word is hamstring complaint, not injury!!

      The defender was ruled out of the Reds’ last outing – the Emirates FA Cup quarter-final win at Nottingham Forest – due to a hamstring complaint, which subsequently forced him to withdraw from international duty with England.

    2. boc610
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      he'll play benfica midweek and city , on bench tomorrow.

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I disagree, I cant see Klopp taking any chances of the threat of dropping points. TAA will start and if LFC are 2/3-0 up he will get managed.

        1. boc610
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          just dont see it. its watford. im a pool fan and it would be madness to play him in this fixture with the games we have

      2. ZimZalabim
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        id agree with that but I think he might get a few mins at the end maybe 20-25 to get some match fitness

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I don't know what to do. He says it's tight but the intensity of rehab means he should be well able for tomorrow and mentions the possible need for rhythm. Then says he "thinks" should be ready for City.

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        i wouldnt sell him now if thats what ur asking

      2. boc610
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        do you not think klopp is talking about making the matchday squad? its not about starting at this stage, its availability

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Yeah but at this stage and considering the opposition I don't see the point in him being on the bench. Either he feels he's ready and wants him to start and to get rhythm before this big run of important games or he wants to rest him. I don't see any point in him coming on for 10-20 mins.

    4. Silecro
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Clearly starts tomorrow

      1. boc610
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        lol

      2. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        He won't be risked against rubbish Watford not with 9 crucial matches crammed into April

    5. Sterling Archer
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      get the feeling this could be the most obvious faking an injury to miss an international friendly ever!

    6. Opinions seem to vary based on whether you own him or not

      1. Dr Van Nostrand
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Everyone has Trent so not really

    7. Bada Bing
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Benching TAA feels wrong, but if I play him he might get a dreaded one point cameo. Oh what to do... It's between him or Burnley's Roberts for the starting spot for me.

  8. antis0cial
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Any Obvious moves here? 1ft 0itb, 2xFH and BB left.

    De Gea to pope? Watkins/Toney to Rich/Weg?

    Ramsdsle*
    Robbo TAA* Cancelo Doherty
    Salah Son Saka Kulu Barnes
    Watkins

    De Gea Broja Digne Toney

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Watkins to Weghorst

  9. artvandelay316
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Foden or Havertz?

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Havertz

  10. Taegugk Warrior
    • 7 Years

    For pope in :
    A. Ramsdale
    B. Dubravka

  11. Pukkipartyy
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Are we benching Broja? Southampton fans do u expect him to start?

  12. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which one would you have?
    Probably for GWs31&32 as wanna FH33 and WC34.

    1) Foster, Rudiger, Havertz (Selling TAA, benching Ramsdale and Broja)

    2) Pope, Weghorst, Broja (Keeping TAA)

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      1 but with the news I'd probably want to keep TAA

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah, some big headache

  13. Traction Engine Foot
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Start one:

    A Lamptey
    B Antonio

    1. antis0cial
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Antonio

    2. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Antonio maybe

  14. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which two would you start out of Raphinha, Eriksen and Toney?

    1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Raphinha and Toney

      1. Marty McFly
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        This

    2. Hy liverpool

      3 years, 8 months ago

      Raphinha and Eriksen

    3. Arteta
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Cheers lads!

  15. BBC_TF
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would you do Jimenez + Ramsey -> Havertz + Gelhardt -4?

    My mid is Son/Barnes/Raph/Havertz/Saka right now so I dont expect Gelhardt to play much.

    Kane/Laca are my other strikers. Despite the DGW, I am not convinced Weghorst has a high ceiling vs a stronger mid like Havertz or Mount.

    Thinking of holding onto TAA given recent news.

  16. Gazwaz80
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    5 subs next season will make FPL extremely spicy 🙂

  17. THEKID_88
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Best £5.9m budget Mid on a WC?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Trossard

      1. Holmes
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        martinelli

    2. Marty McFly
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Martinelli is the best value I think

  18. Marty McFly
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I’m chasing a 70pt gap on my rival and I’m on a WC. Is this too much rotation risk?

    James
    Martinelli
    Havertz

    My bench will typically be Cucho, Mateta, Roberts (dgw dependant obviously).

  19. White Pony
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Those comments on Trent are the reason waiting until as near to the deadline as possible is usually the right thing to do, I suppose.

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      created more confusion than anything 😀

    2. Catastrophe
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Always best to wait of course, but how many 'wrong' decisions get made with too much information? 🙂 he could still be benched.

    3. Marty McFly
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I still think I’ll sell tbh.

  20. SpaceCadet
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Anything you would change in this wc team? BB in gw 33.

    schmeichel
    robertson cancelo rudiger tark
    salah havertz saka kulu
    kane weghorst

    Dubravka Maddison white cucho

    1. Marty McFly
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Weghorst is a trap

  21. Catastrophe
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Which do you prefer over the next three GWs?

    A) TAA (WAT, mci, MUN) & Fraser (tot, WOL, LEI, CPL)
    B) James & Havertz (BRE, sou, ARS)

    Edging towards B with the risk that TAA is benched against Watford? Also already have Robertson.

    Cheers

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      B could get benched vs Southampton though

      1. Catastrophe
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers - yep, always possible.

    2. Marty McFly
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’m currently on B but there’s a huge rotation risk for gw32 with Chelsea IMO.

      1. Catastrophe
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Cheers. Yeah, difficult one to weigh up. Should probably expect one of them get benched in 32, but may still be the better option.

        1. Marty McFly
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Havertz’s min/xgi is really high. Even off the bench he’s dangerous. The safer option is to ditch one (or both) for Mount/Rudiger who look more nailed. But if you’re chasing points the higher ceiling is probably worth the gamble on rotation risk.

          1. Catastrophe
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Cheers. I already have Havertz, I'd be getting James in. Could always go Rudiger for safety?

            1. Marty McFly
              • 13 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I think it’s down to your appetite for risk. I’m chasing 70pts vs my rival, so James seems the more appropriate option.

    ROS

    More?

    Broja goals/assists?

    Burnley Clean Sheets? (Roberts)

    Palace CS (Guehi)

  24. MannionUK
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Ramsdale (Dubravka)
    Rudiget, Robbo, Doherty (Holgate, Dier)
    Matinelli, Havertz, Raph, Salah, Coutinho
    Kane, Rodrigo (Jimenez)

    I have 2 x FH left and 1FT for this week.

    Obvious shout is Jimenez to someone but then who do I replace him with as a starter?? Hold FT?

    1. Marty McFly
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Che Adams?

      1. MannionUK
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        But then who do I swap Adams in for? Martinelli?

        1. Marty McFly
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Rodrigo. Do you really want double Leeds attack?

    2. Bavarian
      • 7 Years

      Weg

      1. MannionUK
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I don't have Weg or Adams... Therefore, is there any point getting rid of Jime if I can't upgrade team??

        1. Marty McFly
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Beyond one week. Adam’s is on form and has dgw33

          1. MannionUK
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            I have 2 x FH so I will get him in 33

  25. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Guys. Help me decide between Mount and Havertz. I want Havertz but I am convinced that he may get rotated in the PL with Lukaku and Werner as CFC will chase Champs League and I feel Mount is more nailed and the stats between the two are almost identical ??

    Mount or Havertz ??

  26. Mr. O'Connell
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Forget about Trent. I need Ben Davies updates.

    1. MannionUK
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Update: He is still a pile of poo

  27. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    With the Trent news, does Kilam > Cancelo now become a no brainer for free?

    means I play:

    Ramsdale
    Cancelo / Rudiger / Doherty / Trent
    Coutinho / Salah / Raphinha / Saka / Kulusevski
    Kane (C)

    Dubravka / Wood / Broja / White

    0.6m ITB and 2Ft's going into next week

    1. MannionUK
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Trent won't start. 100%

      1. ShaunGoater123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        I mean more that if he has a chance for this week then no need to trasnfer him out. he might come on for a 1 pointer i guess but more about not taking him out and then scrabbling to get back at some point.

        Alternatvie would have been moving TAA on for Cancelo

        1. Hutchiniho
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          This is it.
          I was thinking Laporte and moving some money to Havertz.

          But that would take some unwinding later ITS

        2. Marty McFly
          • 13 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          I think the other premium defenders offer better value than trent at this point. Personally my team looks better balanced without Trent so I think I’m going without.

  28. barton fc
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Foster (Ramsdale)
    Trent rudiger doherty (amartey Thomas)
    Salah son Barnes saka Martineli
    Kane broja (gelhardt)

    A) bank
    B) Thomas > Roberts (will i be that better for it)
    C) Thomas > T silva (benching headaches + is that the best use of that money)

  29. Sho-kun
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    No need for WC just use FT, right?

    Foster
    Cancelo/Regi/Livra
    Salah/Kulu/Saka/Coutinho
    Kane/Weghorst/Broja

    Ramsdale/TAA/Madd/Marcal

    1 WC, 1FH, 1BB left
