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.

    Plan was to bring in De Roon for Capooo and Yoshida in for Pieters.
    Brought in Sanchez for Hazard instead. Wtf

  8. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    12pts from 5 players tonight, including my Captain. Really wasn't expecting this

  10. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Mark, your after giving Eriksen too many BPS, at least be discrete!

  11. Ridcully
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    I brought in Alli and Yoshida in for an eight point hit. I then played McAuley over Yoshida due to goal threat— I thought they would both concede. Very happy though.

  12. nkhoughton
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 11 months ago

    Come on Sergio!!

  13. matiakez
    • 15 Years

    Benteke in for gabi for a hit was a fail then, could have just got those de roon points.

    I was so appalled at how my night had gone that Id logged off here and turned my flashscores off. Checked the final result to see a Yoshida goal, Origi goal and Eriksen + Alli goals and assists. What a turnaround
