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.

  4. Gimli son of Gloin
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Captaining Alli really saved me this week 😐

    Sterling.. Hull (H) at the weekend but looks like its time to shift him I guess?

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

    I am happy with 53 (-8) this week

    Took a punt of bringing Negredo in and it paid off (kinda)

    1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Why did he come off early? Was it injury?

      How insecure are you ?

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

        Go suck an Egg, Slouch. My word, are you a cranky poster. Go read my comment history, go look at my results, I dont post crap and yes, I can back up what I say with performance.

        1. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

  7. Sweetboi
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    a) Coutinho > Sané

    b) Alonso > Gibson

    c) Save FT and play Cout and Alonso

    1. JJeyy
      • 10 Years

      C

  8. JJeyy
    • 10 Years

    Vardy + Siggy ---> Aguero + De Roon? (-4)

    1. GREEN IS GOOD
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      De Roon no.

  9. Liastro ⭐️
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Would you wildcard this shambles? 1FT, 0.9m in the bank.

    Heaton Pickford
    Williams Francis Olsson Pieters Amat
    Alli Firmino Siggy Tadic Fletcher
    Aguero Costa Lukaku

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

      Maybe a hit to sort the D? (Williams/Olsson in particular, or Amat/Francis)

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

      It's not even a shambles tbh. Williams -> GIbson this week.

    3. FPLHaggis
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Yes - too top heavy when defence is on last legs.

  11. Frank Black
    • 12 Years

    Was the story about Kane coming back in time for Bournemouth reported only by the sun?

  12. Rainer

      • 14 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Hey Smurf, I posted my ID for that cup in the appropriate article, had 15 pages in 30 days, but didnt get in the cup...

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

        Hmmm. I have no idea why. I don't have any involvement except for entry. Seems weird you are not included.

      2. VS10_
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        You're on the list lol.

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

          Everyone should move on, nothing to see here.

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

          Oh, I had thought it started this GW....it's kind of vague for info on here on that topic...

          Thx!

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

            It has started this GW hasn't it?

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

    77 for me this week

    Already pulled the trigger on 2 transfers though for -4.

    Costa & Llorente > Aguero & Afobe

    I think Afobe could turn out to be a nice little enabler!!

    1. George Sillett
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Could you not find any more intelligent way to brag ?

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

        braggings fine, well done sooni, there are plenty of ups and downs

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

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

        I've had a rough season, any success is worth revelling in! Trying desperately to claw back a 112 point gap in my main ML.

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

        Is this all you and Rhino do? Try and deflate people, get annoyed for no reason? So jelly.

        1. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 8 months ago

          I am not annoyed at all . I just find it incredible that people feel the need generally to big themselves up in public . Indicates some kind of problem.

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

            Out of curiosity, would you have been less offended had I left the details about my points total for this GW off the original post?

            I'd still be interested to know your thoughts on my transfers and whether you'd do the same. My lineup is currently:

            Heaton
            Fuchs Huth Valencia Davies
            Alli Sánchez Ward-Prowse Coutinho
            Agüero Vardy

            Substitutes
            Foster King Afobe Mawson

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

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

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

      The elusive grey arrow. Rarer than even a decent 3rd forward...

  16. jernej93
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Costa or Lukaku -> Aguero ? 🙂

    1. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 8 months ago

      Has to be Costa. Gone right off the boil.

  17. Chicken-Mandy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    siggy and brunt to alli and stephens (-4)?
    alli almost essential now surely.

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

      my captain on alli saved my whole season. the most essential player now.

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

        Those late Spurs and King goal were shocking, but sure helpful after a cruddy first half from my team

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

    Hope everyone got some decent scores in tonight....3 goals for Arsenal and no Sanchez points, frustrating !

    G2G?

    Jakopovic
    Alonso, Brunt, Valencia
    Eriksen, Alli, Sanchez, Siggy, Countinho
    Aguero (C), Carroll/Origi

    (Robinson, Pieters, Olsson)

    Robinson > Hennessy worth a hit so i don't have to play Jakopovic every week ? Would be my DGW keeper too. Got .3 itb so only alt currently is Pickford.

  19. Bggz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    hideous two weeks.

    im trying to wait for the dgw annoucement to wc but its harder and harder.

    do we know when we'll find out yet?

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

      I think someone said April 9 for announcement.

  20. YoungPretender
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Randolph
    Baines B.Davies Valencia
    Alli Eriksen Sanchez King Tadic
    Lukaku Ibrahimovic

    Grant Llorente Yoshida Mawson

    GTG?

  21. Pirlø's Pen
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

    Think I've narrowed my moves down to 3 potentials. Thoughts appreciated.

    A) Vardy, Tadic, Bertrand -> Aguero (C), Zaha, Yoshida (-4)

    B) Vardy, Bertrand -> Ibra, Yoshida

    C) Vardy, Tadic -> Ibra, Zaha

    Thank you in advance!

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

      dont think you want to lose tadic

      1. Pirlø's Pen
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Shame I can't draft in G Mac. Reckon B is my best option?

      2. GREEN IS GOOD
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah Tadic was excellent today apparently and Southampton have extra games.

  22. JJeyy
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 8 months ago

  23. Lizard Lips
