Rory: Who are the best swaps for Dorgu this week now he's injured?

Pras: If you are looking for someone in a similar price bracket then a Sunderland defender who play Burnley at home this week, or Hill from Bournemouth appeal. If you want to stick with Man Utd, then Harry Maguire is not a bad shout either.

Can we squeeze in one more question?

You bet we can...

Iboo: Is Salah worth a four-point hit ?

Pras: Until we see the old Salah, and indeed the last season Liverpool, back I am going to say no sadly. I love Mo in FPL, but for that price we need a lot more than what he's produced this season.

Sean: If you weren't to captain Haaland this week, who else would you pick?

Pras: I like Bruno Fernandes this week as an alternative to Haaland. Bruno is back playing number 10 where he is even more involved in the attack, he already brings route to points with penalties, free-kicks. The team is functioning so much better under Carrick, so I do think he is worthy of captain this week.

Tommy: I have Wilson and Wirtz in my team as it stands. With the next few weeks in mind, would you bring in Semenyo for either of these?

Pras: I wouldn't to be honest. Both Wirtz and Wilson are in superb form at the moment. Why mess with a winning formula? Save and reassess next week in my opinion.

Matt: I'm top of my league by 50 points. Am I best just to stick to the obvious players rather than try and break further ahead by going 'left-field'?

Pras: I would say, continue to play the way you have been playing that has got you into this position. It’s far too early to be thinking about rivals’ moves and trying to block them.

Bruno Fernandes (captain), Manchester United, £9.5m - Fulham (h)

Is Fernandes essential? The answer is yes.

Returns in every game since coming back from injury, back playing at number 10 and, after Fulham this weekend, has a run of four games against teams placed 10th or below.

Despite missing three matches this season, Fernandes has created 20 more chances (64) than any other midfielder.

His 10 assists is a league high and, even in his advanced position, he is collecting defensive contribution points too.

Pras touched on it before, but if you don't captain Erling Haaland this week, then who else could you hand the armband to?

It's risky, especially after Haaland found his scoring boots again in midweek, but as Pras said, there are decent alternatives.

Over to you Thomas Woods...

James: Can I trust the Arsenal defence and double up on them?

Pras: Arsenal continue to remain the best defence in the league in terms of underlying data. Add to that the threat their defenders pose on corners. I think it is definitely viable to double up in defence.

Jeuel: I'm going to wildcard this week. I think I'm parting ways with Haaland. With the extra funds I could really bolster my midfield and defensive options. Will I regret it?

Pras: With Haaland, a big part of it is captaincy. I think over the coming weeks there are decent viable alternatives, such as Bruno Fernandes, Saka and even Palmer. It’s risky, but not stupid to go without Haaland until GW31.

Nolberto: Best gameweek option with less than 10% ownership?

Pras: Despite a bit of resurgence in the Wolves defence, I am going to pick 3%-owned Evanilson this week. He has scored 3 goals in his last 4 league games and is tasked with spearheading the Bournemouth attack with Semenyo's departure. He may even take penalties, now that Tavernier is injured.

Tommy: Is Reece James a good option going forward? He is a points threat when playing, however I feel like he rotates with Gusto too often. The fact Chelsea are still in Europe may only make this worse. Any better options or go with James?

Pras: James is a decent pick and his minutes have improved. However, if going for a defender from Chelsea I feel Chalobah has a higher chance of starting most PL games and offers the potential for extra defensive contribution points as well.

Ross: First weekend for a long time where my whole squad is fit. So, is it worth using the Bench Boost chip or saving it this weekend?

Pras: General rule of thumb for me is 15 points. If you think your bench can score that this week, then play it. I do think a Bench Boost later with a couple of double gameweek players on the bench could be quite profitable as well.

Back to you Pras...

Brian Brobbey, Sunderland, £5.5m - Burnley (h)

He's an in-form striker, at a budget price with a very tasty fixture.

Three goals in four games for the Dutchman and he will be a popular choice on wildcards this week.

If you need a cheap alternative to Ollie Watkins, BBC Sport's Thomas Woods has a differential proposition that might be worth a consideration...

Keith: Already used my free transfer on Frimpong to Chalaboh. Wanted Palmer + Pedro/Evanilson in for Haaland/Miley but Watkins' injury throws a spanner in the works. Should I avoid a hit, prioritise Watkins out for Pedro/Evanilson or go -8 to afford Palmer + Pedro/Evanilson?

Pras: I wouldn't go -8 for Palmer to be honest. Yes, he is fit, but we don't know how fit. Can he play more than 60 minutes? Will Chelsea protect him for the Carabao Cup semi-final a few days later? I'd just do the Watkins move.
