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.

    1. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Lots get rotated when there are only 2-3 days rest between games. Valencia was rotated. Walker was rotated.

        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

          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.

      • Pep says
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Spurs 2 decent attacks and 2 corners in the opening 3 mins

        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        1. Pierce34
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 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
            8 years, 8 months ago

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

            1. Pierce34
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 8 months ago

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

        2. Sonny “The Hitman&rdq…
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          He doesn't even start every game

          1. Smurf
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 16 Years
            8 years, 8 months ago

            As above.

      • Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        There goes my first CS of the night....

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

      • GoonerByron

        1. WVA
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I went for Benteke instead... I like Negredo as a player though and he is a great shout for the dgw.

      • Alexieishere
        • 13 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

      • WVA
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        1. sillyhilly69
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 8 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
          8 years, 8 months ago

        8 years, 8 months ago

        thought this was going to end 0-0 .had 2 defs 🙁
