The next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline is less than 24 hours away, so there are transfer decisions to be made for legions of us ahead of Gameweek 36.

The questions on player purchases, captaincy picks and chip strategy are coming thick and fast in the comments section, with the biggest Double Gameweek of the season adding to the frenzied feel.

And so we’ve again asked five-time top 1k finisher and Scout’s Deputy Editor, Tom Freeman, to answer some of your posers 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 ‘Rate My Team’ tool available in the Premium Members Area.

    Bench boost:
    Schmeichel Foster
    TAA - Cancelo - Laporte - Alonso - Bavies
    Salah - KDB - Saka - Mount - Dewsbury-Hall
    Nketiah - Pukki - Dennis

    Free hitting 37 (or 38 to bring in Kane & Son)
    A Bavies to Matip
    B Pukki to Richarlison, Mount to Gordon (-4) and free hit 38
    C Mount and Saka to Son and Gordon (-4) and free hit 37

    Thanks!

      A looks good. Not C

    Planning to BB this week and FH in 37. 1 FT and 1.2 ITB.

    A - Werner, Ramsey & Schar > Richarlison, Gordon & Laporte for -8 hit
    B - Other suggestion?

    Schmeichel
    Cancelo - James - TAA
    KDB - Son - Maddison - Mount - Ramsey
    Werner - Dennis

    Foster - Mateta - Mitchell - Schar

    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    3 years, 9 months ago

    My original plan was B (can't do with Nketiah). Avoid the hit and stick with A or go big with C or D?

    a. Broja & White
    b. Dennis & White -4
    c. Pukki & Tavares (or other def up to £4.3m) -8
    d. Nketiah & £4.8m def -8

  4. TSN

    Bottomed.
    BB36

    Schmeichel Foster
    TAA matip alonso mina cancelo
    Salah Son Kulu Saka KDH
    Rich Pukki Nketiah

    Any advice? Thoughts please..

    Cheers

      Looks good

        Cheers

  5. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Werner + Watkins >>> Vardy + King for free or nah?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No chance

    2. Il Capitano
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No

  6. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Richarlison flagged. Not playing for sure?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not sure Lampards comments warranted a flag

      1. MJF
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        FPL wanting to pile on the drama.

    2. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Lampard: "Richarlison has got a bit of a sore ankle from the ankle he twisted at Liverpool, that's been around since then, but hopefully he will be fine. Andre [Gomes] is back in the squad for selection, Donny [van de Beek] is not."

    3. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Could still feature yet

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

      Pretty sure he is starting both, unless he gets an injury or suspension in the first match (non-owner).

  7. Il Capitano
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Ramsdale
    TAA Robbo Cancelo Laporte
    Salah Saka Raphinha Kulu
    Kane Nketiah

    Foster - Pukki Gordon *

    After a 5m defender for BB36 and to play in 37, Digne, Myko, Mina, Mings?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I think Myko is a good shout. Probably Digne if you need for 37 too

      1. Il Capitano
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Ta, probably between those two. Digne the more known quantity I guess

  8. jason_ni
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Move Elanga on BB for -4?

    A) Yes (Gordon/KDH)
    B) No

    Not sure its worth it, has wee bit of form, but floating the idea!

    FH in 37 as well, so his blank is not an issue.

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

      A (gordon)

  9. RamboRN
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bench boost. Got 2ft. Any changes? Maybe I have too many chelski?

    Schmeichel foster
    Taa cancelo matip laporte james
    Kdb saka salah havertz kdh
    Pukki werner mateta

    1. jason_ni
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      can you go werner/have to son and someone? Maybe too expensive

    2. JBG
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Havertz and/or Werner out.

      1. Dan D
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        werner to richarlison and havertz to son if you can

  10. Jump in Micah
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Werner likely to start?

    1. Biggsy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Likely? Yes. Certain? No

  11. corderz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    A) Robertson > Cancelo
    B) James > Cancelo

    1. Jon Snow
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      James if you have to pick

    2. Dan D
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      I would say James ...

    3. manu4life99
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      A as I much prefer James vs WOL than Robbo vs TOT

  12. Jon Snow
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Bench one:
    A) Nketiah
    B) Saka
    C) Gordon
    D) Mount
    E) Maddison

    1. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      C

    2. Dan D
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Between Maddison and Gordon

  13. AD2110
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Mount and Martinelli —> Saka + Kulu (-4)?

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Not for me

      1. AD2110
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 9 months ago

        Who would you swap to instead for a similar price? Thoughts with those moves were to swap out two players who will only likely get 1 game for 2 certain starters that are in form

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      No

  14. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Fofana or Tavares for this week?

  15. Dan D
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Who will score more
    1) Foden and Matip /
    2) Luis Diaz and Migns(or any 5 point defender like ( holdate / digne Mikolenko ) /
    3) Mount and Matip

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Zero idea- but maybe B with Mylo?

  16. Davew88
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 9 months ago

    Best Ramsey replacement?

    1. Dan D
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      Matip ?

    2. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 9 months ago

      1. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
