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 team selection, transfers, 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 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.

FOLLOW FRIDAY’S LIVE TEAM NEWS HERE

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.

    Alderete has been pictured in training so it looks fairly positive on bb imo. I think I will take the risk 🙂

      Is he a better option than mukiele?

      LOL everyone jumping on this bandwagon. He's just a demonstration of variance.

      Enjoy the 2 points every week lol

        not sure a lol was justified to be honest? playing bb so 2pts is better than none I would say?

    I was going to do Grealish to Enzo this week but worried about the knock. Would you do Grealish to Sarr or Kudus? Bench cover is Caceido (who is also possibly injured), Rodon and Esteve.

      I did Grealish to Sarr.

      But if I wasn't BB, it would be fine to roll too.

    The plot thickens with this BB with Tosin likely to start, and Richarlison 60% chance of starting...

    1) Maximise BB; use FT to get Anthony for King, which also fixes Richarlison issue next week who I can then play instead of Rich

    2) Original plan; Just play BB with King and prioritise Ars defence by getting Timber for Tosin

    3) Roll, play BB as is, use 2 fts next week to sell Salah/Rich and reconfigure team...

    Sanchez
    Munoz. Tosin. Senesi
    Salah. Semenyo. Sarr. Reindeer
    Haaland. Pedro. Richarlison

    Dubravka (LEE) Alderete (WOL). (Gudmundsson (bur). King (ARS)

    1.8 itb 1 ft

      Option 4 - Richarlison to Bowen, play BB as is with King, means selling Salah to enable Ars defence next week

  4. Gudjohnsen

    Ramsey to Xhaka to BB?

    BB would then be Dubravka, Gudmundsson, Xhaka and Cash

    What to do here chaps?

    Raya
    Cucu, Munoz, Senesi, VDV
    Saka Bruno Semenyo
    Haaland Pedro Richarlison

    Dubravka Rodon King Grealish*

    1FT & 0.1 ITB

    A) Bruno ➡ Sarr
    B) Bruno ➡ Kudus
    C) Bruno Richarlison ➡ Kudus Bowen -4
    D) Save FT
