With Double Gameweek 22 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) almost upon us, 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 triple captaining Marcus Rashford (£7.2m), Leeds United players, how to navigate Blank Gameweek 25 or anything in between, Scout’s Deputy Editor will tackle whatever’s thrown at him.

Tom will 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 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.

      He’s played 77 mins on the weekend, assisted two. Scored 2 in the cup before and his direct competition is injured.

      I think it’s worth a go. Maybe not for a hit

      I'm a bit late to party but I like Bamford's prospects now Rodrigo out. I watched their cup game and he was best player on the pitch. I'd be shocked if he doesn't start. Wouldn't have done it for a hit though,

      Is this Pep spinning a yarn or what? If are playing in front of a team who have parked the bus, adding another body into the final third of the pitch solves nothing surely? I just dont get that logic at all. I wonder is he just filling the media slot with hot air to pass the 30 mins.

      I just don't see him not starting next few PL games, best player and still capable of winning games in a heartbeat even when out of form. Too much on the line with Arsenal's lead.

      100% chance of failure is bad.

      2x 50% chance is better.

      This is spreading the risk. It doesn't apply to FPL because the opposite potential also exists to completely balance it out.

      100% chance of success is good.

      2x 50% chance of success is worse.

      Pick the player you think will score the most points

      B for me. Gabriel is underrated. I've had him most of season. And Saka could be hit or miss especially with other attackers in form. Also the City defender thing is a bit of a shambles at the minute and Arsenal's DGW looks better for possible CS.
