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.

      H2H leagues are usually last to udate.
      That will be last nights scoring - less hits.

  6. Catsandhats
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I need to ditch brunt with has blank coming up and lack of points,

    I'm thinking
    A)Keane (allows find elsewhere)
    B)Vert

    Other defenders are Alonso, Valencia, Holbas

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yoshi or Stephens

  7. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Why wouldn't Pep start Sterling up front against Hull and do his thing and bench Aguero?

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

      Common sense and they are in a fight for a Champions League place

  8. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    What's more valuable?
    1) In-form Kun vs. HUL
    2) Siggy and in-form Vardy

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

      That's tough, I think Kun as he'd be captain too I'm guessing m. What're the transfers?

      1. jdp219
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Those are it. I have 1FT and 0.0ITB, so I'd have to transfer out #2 in order to get #1.

        Mids: Siggy, Alli, Eriksen, Sanchez, Ndiaye
        Fwds: Vardy, Lukaku, Crouch

  9. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    a) Brunt to Davies

    b) Baines to Verthongen

    1. Moosie the Staggie
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      A for me. No need to dump Baines with his fixtures

    2. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      A

  10. Stats Don\'t Lie
    • 11 Years

    Bertrand + ndidi > Stephens + wally/tadic?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Would be for a hit

      I share your pain, don't know if I'll make it...

      1. minges

        its only a few days....surely we can make it... maybe... probably not...

    2. Moosie the Staggie

      So much this

  18. Espen8
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Use my free transfer Robertson -> Davies or save the transfer and play Coutinho away to Stoke?

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

      Not sure if serious?

    2. DV8R
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      You should save and play Cout

    3. Espen8
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I think Coutinho will have a hard time away to Stoke, but he´s in form, so I should probably save

  19. niko mate
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Alli was my captain for 5 gameweeks in a row and I was happy with him, don't know why I captained Coutinho now. But I'm still happy with Cout and Wijnaldum inputs.

  20. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    0.1m ITB and 1 FT

    Heaton
    Alonso, Walker, Brunt
    Alli, Sanchez, Siggy, King
    Ibra, Negredo, Lukaku

    Subs: Pickford, Carroll, Naughton, Funes Mori

    I was thinking Brunt -> Gibson?

    Would give me another DGW player...

    1. Smudger’s Dirty Dozen
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

  21. Chris_White
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Siggy -> Sterling (c)

    Livin' La Vida Loca

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Sane over sterling

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I think Sane could be rested. Sterling more of a differential now too

    2. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      West Ham up next for Siggy.. probably hold tbh

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Have to start gambling. 70 points behind ML leader

    3. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Quite like Siggy's fixtures, could do damage on that big WHM pitch v a pretty meh defence?

      1. Chris_White
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Sterling more potential though

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          We'll see...

  22. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Brunt -> Chambers
    Vardy -> Kun

    Yay or nay?

    WC'ing for Ars/Sou DGW, gambling on Chambers, wont be needed bar if hes fit for DGW34 which would be a bonus.

    1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      If Chambers if but don't trust boro defence

      1. LE GOD(C)-AMERICAN DYCHO-(1…
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Fit*

  23. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years

    When on earth will we know about the Arsenal DGW in 35/36?

    1. Sotamendi84

      8 years, 8 months ago

      9 april

  24. Sotamendi84
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Valencia+caroll > Stephens+ibra (-4)?

    1. Stats Don\'t Lie
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yes

    2. Espen8
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Nooo, why would you take out Valenica with dgw soon? Carroll also have decent games, don´t rush to get him out just because he didn´t score against Arsenal

    3. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      No. MU defence is only thing they have going for them imo.

  26. A Betting Man
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    This sounds crazy in my head but feel it's a potential ML winner...

    Heaton / Robinson
    Alonso / Walker / Valencia / McAuley / Mawson
    Sanchez / Alli / Coutinho / Sig / Carroll
    Lukaku / Vardy / Barnes

    £1.3m ITB, 1 FT

    Thinking Alonso & Vardy > Gibson & Aguero for the exact money. Thoughts?

  27. Egyptian Giza
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    what are people's thoughts now on boro defence? I have gibson and valdes and am not really confident like before playing both against burnley even it's at home?

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

      Play both they should get a clean sheet

      1. Egyptian Giza
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        not pretty sure after shipping 4 goals

  28. Skyarm
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Costa> Aguero worth for a -4?

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Great cap option, probably worth it although Costa's kind of due but there's no such thing as due 😆

    2. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yep

    3. Totalfootball
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Same question

  29. Kiwivillan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    I regret getting Sanchez last minute for a hit. I really do. Had Vardy last 3 for 27 lovely points but they've had many games at home. -4 for Eriksen and Kun C in for them makes a lot of sense to me
