After the first four fixtures of Gameweek 31 treated us to just seven goals last night, hopes are a little higher for the remaining six matches.

Many Fantasy managers will be keeping a keen eye on the Emirates as Alexis Sanchez looks to punish West Ham once again.

The Chilean is the third most-captained player this time around, having served up 23 points against the Hammers back in Gameweek 14.

Dele Alli – the most popular midfielder in FPL – and Spurs team-mate Christian Eriksen also have the opportunity to deliver a big profit as they travel to a Swansea City outfit that boasts the worst home defensive record in the top-flight.

Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough are also in action this evening, affording us an early scouting opportunity as both gear up for a double Gameweek 34.

Christian Benteke and Wilfried Zaha roll up to St Mary’s looking to build on their goal and assist apiece away to Chelsea, with Sam Allardyce’s men seeking a fifth straight victory.

‘Boro face a tough task away to Hull, though. The Tigers are a tough nut to crack at home under Marco Silva, with six wins and a draw in seven in front of their own supporters across all competitions. Notably, the Teessiders appear to have opted for a front two for tonight’s clash.

Chelsea and Man City square up at the Bridge in one of two 8pm encounters.

Diego Costa is the second most-captained player for the Gameweek – over 10% are backing the Spain international despite a run of two goals in seven. Meanwhile, for the visitors, Sergio Aguero has persuaded 8% to take an armband punt on the back of three strikes in four.

Liverpool seek to gain revenge on their 4-3 capitulation at the Vitality Stadium earlier in the season as Bournemouth make their way to Anfield. With Sadio Mane sidelined, Philippe Coutinho – the top transfer target for Gameweek 31 – and Roberto Firmino carry the main threat to a defence that’s been breached 31 times already on their travels.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Wish I followed my gut. Wanted him for this run of fixtures + the double but went with the masses and Origi in the end.

      Negredo's stats have been solid recently.

    1. Pierce34
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Considering that was his first assist ever in the Premier League, I'd hold that thought!

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Want to take a few steps back! I think you dropped your sarcasm detector.

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I can't even tell sarcasm in real life, let alone in writing...

    2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      He doesn't even start every game

      1. Smurf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

    1. sillyhilly69
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Why? They're taking a spot for a team that actually deserves to be in the PL.

    2. Smurf
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago
