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.

    1. Chris_White
      • 14 Years

      Alonso

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

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

      Alonso imo... Not many CS around

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

      Alonso

  4. FPL Maldini
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Anyone tempted to just punt on De Roon for the DGW?

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

      No.

  5. joersherman
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    What to do with Llorente? Haven't got WC so struggling to justify Origi

    1. Fred54
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      I'd punt on Benteke.

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

        Me too

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

    walcott in, siggy out for a -4?

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

      No way

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

        I wouldn't even for free

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

      Sane is a better option

  7. camarozz
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    So we confident Origi will be starting for foreseeable ?? .

    Vardy & Tadic OUT
    Origi & Sanchez IN -4

    What ya reckon ??

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

      Wait for presser, I reckon he'll keep the spot but Studge could be annoying.

  8. HD7
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Do you think Aguero will rise tonight? 🙂

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

      For the misses, maybe. For FPL, no chance.

      1. HD7
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Thanks 🙂

  9. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    A)
    Sanchez/Alli/Siggy/Zaha/King

    B)
    Alli/Eriksen/Coutinho/Sane/Zaha

    A or B?
    Have A, but tempted to go B.

      City losing and Pool drawing good news for United players in their double.

    • Jayv807
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Alli's price may rise today after all, skyrocketing on FPLstats

    • F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      jaku -> Pickford for FT?

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

        No

    • TeddiPonza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Costa to Kun (c) for -4 or save? If I save my captaincy options would be one of Alexis Alli Zlatan Lukaku or Costa.

      Thanks.

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

        Save slap the armband on Alli or Ibra

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

        I'd do it

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

      Coutinho >> Sane Yay or Nay

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

        Nay

      2. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I am considering it, too. Enables Vardy or Lukaku to Kane in time. However, what if Sane is rested?

      3. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        LIV: at Stoke, W Brom, home to Palace...what do you think?

      4. Visionaries
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        I have Cout and need Sane. Need to look at someone else though I think, don't want to get rid of Cout

    • Visionaries
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Need City attackers and/or Ibra
      What would you do?

      De Gea
      Valencia, Davies, Walker*
      Alli, Coutinho, King*, Sanchez*
      Carroll, Lukaku, Vardy

      Jaku, Maguire, Chambers, Davies

      Options are;
      1 - Walker & Vardy -> Stephens & Aguero
      2 - Walker & Vardy -> Stephens/Yoshida & Ibra
      3 - Sanchez, Vardy -> Sane & Ibra
      4 - Sanchez, King, Vardy -> Sane, Erikson, Ibra

    • F4L
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      If you had Alonso Bavies Valenica Chambers Brunt, who to ship Alonso to? Obv money is no object

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

        Saints defence

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

        Do you have to sell him?

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          starting to be pissed off with him tbh. But I'm open to options

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

            Alonso, Valencia, Bavies is still a very nice back 3 this w/e. Give it another week maybe, unless you really need the cash.

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

      Bit of help guys...WC or For -4
      A Alonso/Lanzini to Yoshi/Alli
      or
      B Lanzini/Allen to King/de roon

      Heaton Jaku
      Chambers Walker Brunt Alonso Valencia
      Siggy Lanzini Sterling Sanchez Allen
      Lukaku Costa Llorente

    • JJeyy
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Is Aguero essential this week?

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

        I don't think he is, as long as you have a very big hitter to cap?

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

        As essential as Sanchez was this GW...

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

          Come on.

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

        Nope.

        Although he has been scoring consistently, he has been Costaesque. Not scored double figures since gw13

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

          I'm almost certain I will go Alli anyway

    • FPL Maldini
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Are we all still getting Zlatan for the DGW despite the Mourinho comments?

      I don't know what is right and wrong anymore haha

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

        Results tonight helped UTD. They could still finish 3rd so as things stand there is no way we see huge rotation.

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

        They need his goals, 4th is still on but they have to put out better XI's despite congestion/EL.

      3. JÆKS ⭐
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        What comments?

    • ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Any ideas for this steaming hot pile of .... ? 1.0m itb

      Heaton Pickford
      Alonso McAuley Valencia Fabio* Kingsley*
      Eriksen Sanchez Zaha King Siggy
      Lukaku Agüero Carroll

      1. walkman666
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Save or maybe sell an injured player? Siggy and Carroll both play each other, and their team's defenses aren't too potent.

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

          Thanks. Not sure it's worth a precious FT to shift Fabio who may come back next GW.
          Should I find a way to get Alli?

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

        McAuley -> Davies?
        I did Siggy -> Cout last week, but maybe Sane?

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

      Klopp might think twice before bringing off Coutinho too early in future if he has any since

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

        Wasn't he ill or something?

      Sorry but keep getting bottomed.

      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?

      1. Fpl Richie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        No rush for Gibson after that boro performance - but if you want Aguero and dgw cover it makes sense

      With DGW37 looking like a definite Bench Boost and DGW34 having poor fixtures other people who still have their TC are you considering using it on Aguero this week?
