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.

      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      how is Townsend on for 3 baps with just an assist in a 3-1 loss ?!?!

      1. willgriggsonfire
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Navas-esque tackles?

    • Make United Great Again

      What a gameweek this has turned out to be

    • Essan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Alli (c) (for a hit) just saved my GW 🙂

    • Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      At least its easy to cover up Eriksen getting the 3 BAPs today!

    • Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Stupid me (again).

      Was pondering:

      Mane to Eriksen

      Or

      Mane to Alexis for -4

      That went well.

    • Ziro
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Alli will lose lots of bps as standard.
      Eriksen to get 3 baps

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        For sure

    • THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Siggy > Eriksen
      Sanchez > hazard

    • Ninja Škrtel
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      owning both Dele and Eriksen is extremely clever.

    • For Fuchs Sake
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Any consolation, Ville Ronke is only on 42 points 🙂

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        What a loser!

      2. fedolefan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        42 is only? What are you on?

        1. For Fuchs Sake
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 12 months ago

    • Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Vardy still on 9 points, 18 if you captained him.

    • Annie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      I might actually stay in a cup tie at this rate. More points in the last 2 minutes than in the previous 2 nights.

    • Plagued by indecision
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Origi, Yoshida and Alli(c). Get in.

    • Jimmy Boy
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Is it time for Alexis to leave our teams?

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        Already???

      2. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years

    • Bubz
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      What an end to that Spurs game as an Alli and Eriksen owner!

        • 12 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

    • A.T
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        By you do you mean me or do you mean Epic Fail ?

        1. A.T
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 12 months ago

          Anyone who knows I'm not fussy 😀
          Is the Gru one not his assist?

          1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
            • 15 Years
            8 years, 12 months ago

            I don't think it was an assist . 🙁

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        It was Ox mate. Leave it.

      3. Numb
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

        What assist?

    • Alexieishere
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 12 months ago

      Eriksen overtaking Alli on baps ffs

      1. Epic Fail
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 12 months ago

      Sanchez captain this week was an absolute season ruiner.

        • 10 Years

        • 15 Years
