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.

    Tell you what I know I was given advice to hold WC...but it is so tempting at the moment after my 5 green arrows came to an end today.

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Hold

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Hold! Blip in the road.

    3. Bruno Bruno!!

      depends on your team, im looking at my 4th green arrow in a row this GW, and ive been taking hits recently and just going to save my WC

      1. Uncle John from Jamaica
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        I did mine last week. 30 mote than anyone else in my league and got a great side moving forward. My side now £400k more than when I started so could not afford them ody had I waited.

    How did sanchez get nothing with all those goals?

    1. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Saving it for palace

  3. Prismism
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Best guess on when Arsenal have their DWGs????

  4. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Is Dinnery a banned source here yet? 🙂

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      lol he is a legend.His news forced me to wildcard 😆

  5. Netley Lucas
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 days ago

    Blankety-blankers... Sanchez, Costa, Lukaku, Siggy, Alonso.

    All due hauls at the w/e lads? 😆

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      probably apart from siggy

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        I think Siggy can get something on that big pitch... folk are selling but he's got some nice fixtures.

    2. Jay_
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Yep 🙂

    3. Bobby_Baggio
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      Just want to check but is this overkill.... Siggy+Baines+Nyom > Haz+Stephens+Davies -8

      Current team:
      Heaton
      Luiz - Baines - Nyom
      Alli - Sanchez - Siggy - Cout
      Aguero - Origi - Lukaku

      Mawson - DeRoon - Chambers

      1. umerlfc
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        It is. Don't take hits for defenders
        Plus Siggy and Baines might come good at the weekend

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Trying my best to squeeze in Haz

      2. Tshelby
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        I think getting hazard could be a kneejerk. Still didn't prove himself away from home

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          I'll brush him off for this weekend

      3. DAN DARE
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Terrible idea

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Cool that's why i use this site. Cheers

    4. Tshelby
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      A) Baines -> Spurs defender
      B) Siggy -> Wally

      Haven't got any Arsenal cover

    5. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 days ago

      West ham need a new goalkeeper.

      Well defence really.

      1. Bobby_Baggio
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        And stadium

        1. Fpl Richie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Yes indeed

      2. Jay_
          9 years, 5 days ago

          We can thank Spurs for probably keeping us up tonight mate! Would have been in big trouble. Still in trouble but so lucky it wasn't worse

          1. Fpl Richie
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 days ago

            True. Want this season over really. Swansea is a must win or something close. Luckily big Andy loves playing them.

      3. Rossamous
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Who started those King rumors? What rubbish. Cost me 5 points

        1. Ógie
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          I presume he has been banned

          1. Rossamous
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 5 days ago

            All I needed was a justification to bench him with 8 strong attackers. Was going to to bench Siggy before the injury rumors. Hope he gets banned lol

      4. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Repost, bottomed. Any thoughts here?

        Heaton
        Alonso, Vertonghen, Maguire, Valencia
        Alli, Coutinho, Sanchez, Siggy
        Lukaku, Costa

        Grant; Llorente, Chambers, De Roon

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Can do Llorente > Origi???

      5. Cok3y5murf
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Sort of bottomed.

        Any changes or save?

        Heaton Robinson
        Yoshida Baines Davies Alonso Brunt
        Sanchez King Eriksen Alli Siggy
        Lukaku Vardy Crouch

        1 FT, 0.5 ITB

        1. Tshelby
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Safe imo

        2. KUN+10
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Siggy to Sane maybe

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 days ago

            Thought about that. Will go to the wire.

        3. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Not tempted to Vardy/Brunt>Ibra(c)/Stephens?

          1. Cok3y5murf
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 5 days ago

            Actually brought in Vardy just this week to fund Alli and Sanchez. This does look good, but United look kinda dead. Leaning towards getting Ibra just before GW34.

        4. Yellin' in my Ear
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Wow, we have three of the same defenders and the same front 8, thought i was looking at my team for a sec...

          1. Yellin' in my Ear
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 days ago

            Only diffs are Robinson, Yoshi Davies to my Pickford, Valencia, and Walker

      6. KUN+10
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Jaku Heaton
        Alonso Davies Brunt Wasi Valencia
        Alexis Alli Siggy Pedro King
        Kun Luk Origi

        .9 itb 1 ft

        Thinking
        a- Siggy to Coutinho
        b- Siggy/Pedro to Sane
        c- Brunt to Jagielka and Siggy to Cout (-4)
        c- roll transfer

        1. Tshelby
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          A

      7. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Alexis looks good on motd. Keep the faith.

        1. Bobby_Baggio
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 days ago

          Agree

      8. mr messi
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 days ago

        Should I get rid of Costa? I have exact money to do Stanislas and Costa to Alli and Origi.
