Hold James? Or move to Dias for double city defence? Keep or sell Mount? Are there any Chelsea players you’d include on a free hit this week based on current form? Should we move Chelsea assets to Man City ones even if it’s for a hit? Is Mount to Foden worth a hit? Is KDB the best differential captain this week and is it better to go for Foden or Laporte on a Free Hit? For those of us that went Dewsbury-Hall in recent weeks, is it worth a -4 to move to Gordon due to security of starts in the upcoming doubles?   Is it worth removing Kulusevski for another mid-price option with better fixtures but less certainty of minutes such as Foden or Maddison?  Depending on minutes and fitness tomorrow I really like a punt on Vardy. Is he forgotten? Is it worth transferring Ramsdale for any other keeper at this stage of the season? Is free hit a given even if you have 9 players playing twice? Learn more about your ad choices.

We've also got a watchlist update, captaincy advice, plus answers for these questions: Who are the best assets from teams that play twice in DGW29 and don’t blank in BGW30? Stuck with Son but want Kane. Is a Son and Jimenez to Kulusevski and Kane for a -4 worthwhile? Would you sell Coutinho for Kulusevski? Which one Spurs player to pick for the next 2 GWs, Doherty or Kulusevski? Is it worth selling someone like Digne or Saiss ahead of GW29 for a Spurs defender (probably Doherty) for the extra fixture in 29 even though both Villa & Wolves do both play in 30? With Spurs & Arsenal doubling in 29, playing in 30 & good fixtures going forward…are ‘big hits’ (-8,-12) justifiable if single game week players with poor fixtures (eg. Villa or teams blanking in 30) are being replaced? If you owned Reece James, would you hold as he’s due back in GW31? Or sell him on? If so, who for? Jota or Diaz to fill the Bowen spot in midfield? How many and which Leicester assets do we need for the upcoming gameweeks? Best Leicester defensive asset to bring in? Is GW30 worthy of a Free Hit if you can only field 6-7 players or would it be better utilised later in the season for a big DGW? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gameweek 24 midweek fixtures preview

FPL General is back after a lengthy gameweek 23 finally drew to a close at the weekend, and it was a tough one for a lot of managers. We look ahead to gameweek 24 with the usual array of transfer advice, watchlist updates, and these questions answered: What strategy would you go for with ALL CHIPS left to use? How many hits is it worth taking for a Bench Boost, -4 or -8? What do you think of Free Hit GW26 and have at least a strong 11 who all double, as opposed to the crowd of Triple Captain Salah as a part of a chip strategy? Bruno. Salah. KdB. Ronaldo. Kane. Son. Which two or three do you see as the most effective from GWs 24-27? With so many premium assets back in form, is it "essential", especially structure-wise, to have a two premium set up, or is it still viable to perma captain Salah and spread the cash? Top 3 defenders to buy ahead of GW24 excluding Trent & Cancelo? Unlimited budget. Is Rashford a viable alternative to Ronaldo and Bruno as a Man United attacking option for the next two gameweeks? Are the Crystal Palace options worth a punt? Good recent underlying stats but mostly from home games…next 3 out of 4 fixtures are away… Is it worth holding the Watford strikers for the upcoming DGW? Is it worth thinking outside the box when looking for strikers? Benteke, Edouard, Richarlison for example? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Who are your top 5 players to aim for in gw19? If you had to transfer out Kane or Son who would you go with? Best differential pick for gw14? Learn more about your ad choices.
