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.

    Scoutcast before gw32?

  2. sminkypinky
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 28 days ago

    I'm thinking Brunt and King for Bavies and Son for a hit. Yes?
    How long is Kane out?

    1. Pat Bonner

      Compare your pre and post WC teams over 2-3 weeks to check how it has worked.

      The bonus point system makes no sense ...they just conceded 4 to hull I will not be that excited

      1. VS10_

    1. MTPockets
        9 years, 28 days ago

        In what way?

    2. thunder_mike

      Did Coutinho's injury look bad?

    4. TaiwanHC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 28 days ago

      Any advice for this team?

      Foster - Grant
      Valencia - Baines - Robertson - Davies - Amat
      Sanchez - Coutinho - Alli - Sigurdsson - T. Carroll
      Costa - Lukaku - Carroll

      I feel like Siggy, Lukaku and Costa have to go.

      Any suggestion is much appreciated!

      1. Donhush
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Why does Siggy have to go?

      2. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        This really seems like a season where knowledge is power and people who have done any research should just make the transfers regardless of hits.

        Ali, Eriksen, Wallcott, Countino, Origi, Vardy, Hazard all produced.
        Even albrighton and Grosicki were all touted as ones to watch.

        I just wish I had been even more aggressive with my transfers as I am still stuck with Carroll and llorente because thier fixtures looked nice for gw 32.

      • Rainer
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        May more WCs wasted this GW

      • mcrayeps

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          Most likely it will be Sterling as he didn't start today

      • zeepeee
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        What a ride this week!
        Was only at a pathetic 30 points at half time but then came goals and assists from alli, eriksen, robertson, yoshida and king!!
        Should be getting 75(-4) post baps and am really happy about it. Totally did not expect it

      • davies
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Eriksen or Sane? (Have Alli/Aguero)

      • Delhidynamo
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        I got Gibson Zaha and Ibra in for a - 8 for Siggy Afobe and Alonso

        I also chose Tadic over Coutinho for my Antonio replacement

        GW34 better be worth it

      • Rains of Castamere
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Poor GW with 48-4 but could have been so much worse if not for late attacking returns from Alli, Son and King - saved me from unmitigated disaster. Team is set up well for GW32, Kun (c) coming in for useless Costa.

          • 9 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          Same decision here... Costa (has Bournemouth) Vardy (has Everton ) or Kaku (has Leicester) for Kun

        1. Rains of Castamere
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 28 days ago

          Not a huge red, top 10k average is 51

      • seanie3
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Did coutinho go off injured or was it a tactical substituion or klopp even resting him ?

        • 13 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Had my Walcott > Sane transfer all planned for the weekend. Not so sure after Theo's 2 goals....

        A) Walcott > Sane
        B) Alonso/King > Davies/Sane
        C) Save

      • ManUtdFan_UK
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Heaton, (Pickford)
        Alonso, Valencia, Davies (Evans, Chambers)
        Sanchez, Alli, Eriksen, Coutinho, Siggy
        Lukaku, Llorente (Barnes)

        1FT, £3.6m ITB

        Need to raise £1.5m to do Llorente > Ibra
        So thinking to do Siggy, Llorente > Zaha, Ibra (-4).

        Good moves?

        9 years, 28 days ago

        48 thanks to a late flurry from Yoshida and Alli but had a Sanchez captain fail. Sick of hearing that Tadic is playing great as no return again.

        Got 2.1 ITB and 2 free transfers. What would you do?

        Valdes Pickford
        Alonso Valencia Davies Yoshida Fabio
        Sanchez Alli Sigurdsson Tadic De Roon
        Lukaku Vardy Carroll

        Feel like I want Eriksen and Ibra for Tadic and Vardy but would need to sell Alonso for a 5.3 to fund it.

      • Pique boo
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Costa King and Siggy to Hazard Barnes Eriksen for -8? Will play 3-5-2 with

        Sterling Coutinho Alli Hazard Eriksen
        Ibra Vardy

      • Chucky
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        How to fit Hazard in our teams?

          use the money in yer bank - easy for me
          Funny thing is I don't like Chelsea's fixtures coming up so it is likely I won't be getting him.

      • Chrisirwin01
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 28 days ago

        Playing wildcard:

        Lloris
        Stones; Holgate; Cathcart
        Sane; King; Sanchez; Ali
        Originally; Augero; Ibrahimovic

        Bench: Pickford; Stephens; Pennington & Carroll.

        Defense is weak. Any recommendations?
