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.

    Never mind FPL the Masters starts later today - one of the highlights of the sporting year 🙂

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Looking forward to it yes.

    2. Whats the Huth

      What's your bets?
      I've gone for;
      Rahm
      Rose
      Garcia
      Fleetwood
      Wang

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 10 Years

          Good luck

  2. lasmons
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Down from 40K to 119K in two weeks. Chasing 70 points.
    What to do with this lot?

    Hetaon
    Evans - Alonso - Valencia
    Sterling - Alli - Siggy - Sanchez
    Costa - Lukaku - Carroll

    Robinson - Fernandez - Pieters - Tarroll

    Thinking Alonso + Costa -> Bailly + Kun(C). Feels like Costa has to go.

    Or other better options? Siggy -> Eriksen?

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      am thinking the same thing.

      Prefer Kun at the moment. Have exact funds on my free.

      Don't usually pull triggers this early in the week but can't risk price shifting.

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Kun is a must. At least for this week! Bailly has 2 DGWs. I like those transfers

      1. lasmons
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        Thanks. Think its best to wait for the pressers. Heard Carroll might be out.

  3. Blue Gaffer
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Sigurdsson----Sane yes or no?

    1. Tomcooper9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      I'm considering that move.

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        yay

        1. HellasLEAF
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 18 days ago

          Feel City will win 3-5 nill

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Not a bad move!

  4. Dreams
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Who should win the fpl player of the year for PL? My vote is for Lord Heaton.

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      One of the most consistent player at the lowest price. Agreed

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Heaton

  5. Kevin Twine
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Would you wildcard this shambles of a team?

    Jaku*
    Valencia*, McAuley*, Brunt*
    Sanchez, Coutinho, Firminho*, Siggy*
    Costa*, Lukaku, Llorente*

    (Grant*, Smith*, Pieters*, Kightly*)

    1. Dreams
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      No.

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Take a hit or two and you'll be good

  6. _Make
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    I'm sure there will be extensive post-mortems this morning but Sanchez has now not had a direct hand in the last five Arsenal goals. At 11.5m he is a very heavy weight to carry if he doesn't start delivering.

    How did he look last night? Was it just bad luck or was he being crowded out of good positions/playing deeper etc. Cheers.

    1. Foozeball
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Bad luck if anything. Should've had a couple assists yesterday. Only a matter of time imo. He's a natural competitor and almost certainly desires the golden boot, so lack of effort definitely isn't an issue

    2. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      I didn't watch. But I'm scared to let him go.

      I know he will explode as soon as I sell.
      Plus Arsenal have more games remaining than anyone else (along with United and Saints)

    3. _Make
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Cheers lads

  7. Sol
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Sorry to ask same question again 🙂

    Heaton
    Davies Valencia Alonso Yoshida
    Sanchez Ali Siggy Cout deRoon
    Luk Kun liorente

    A)Cout > Eriksen
    B)Siggy > sane
    C)Save
    D) play AOA deRoon Alonso > Son , Gibson

    Cheers

    1. Tomcooper9
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      B or C

    2. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years

      C

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Is Llorente fit?
      Could do Llorente -> Negredo/Origi/Benteke

    4. Sol
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Cheers

  8. Foozeball
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Jaku
    Walkers - Bailly - Alonso
    Alli - Sanchez - Zaha - King - Mahrez
    Lukaku - Costa

    Mannone, Llorente, Robertson, Brunt
    1FT, 0 ITB

    How's Mahrez and Llorente -> Hazard and Barnes (-4)?

    Could also do Mahrez and King -> Hazard and 4.2 midfielder, but I don't think that's desirable given the useless options (they're priced 4.2 for a reason! XD)

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      First one out of these twoo

  9. Zareos
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Which would you go for?

    A. Llorente to Origi;
    B. Save and play King v Chelsea; or
    C. Save and play Holgate v Leicester?

    My team feels strong for this week, except for not having Zlatan. I do have Aguero and Lukaku however.

    1. Gareth nose
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Id go for origi, but it is a bit risky now sturridge is fit

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      A/B

  10. Syd.

  13. Tomcooper9
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Siggy and vardy to Sane and Ibra (for -4)? (Worried about vardy' playing time this weekend and tougher away fixtures coming up)

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Looks good.
      Could also opt for Tadic/Redmond + Kun.

  14. TheTinman
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Pickford
    Alonso Brunt Valencia
    Sanchez Siggy Barkley Son King
    Aguero Lukaku

    Jaku Llorente Holebas Amat

    What do I go for here? Not enough to do Barkley to Sane in one move.

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      How much short?
      Can you do Llorente to Negredo/Origi and Barkley to Sane?

      1. WE GO FOR IT
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        Just saw that you have Kun. Could opt for Tadic/Redmond/Zaha instead of Sane.

  15. ChristoBisto
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Best Boro defender to get in, if any?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Gibson

  16. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Looks crazy but would u do vardy and sanchez to aguero and eriksen for a hit? 😛

    1. TheTinman
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Could go for it.

    2. DT’s HighFlyingBirds
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Yes. Thinking of doing Sanchez and Zlatan for the same players

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Could also do siggy to ward prowse instead of the sanchez move?

    4. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      But when i posted my team here everyone said g2g 😛

    5. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years

      If you have No Spurs, that's good!

  17. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Morining mates !
    I've been thinking Siggy to:
    1. Hazard
    2. Dele
    3. Sane
    Other mids are Sanchez, Coutinho, Eriksen.
    Btw. coutinho should be fine for the weekend ?

    1. Dreams
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      2. Coutinho should be fine.

      1. Atimis

  19. IEVGEN87
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Guy, thx a lot for your help. Really appreciate it. 2 green arrows in a row. Was suffering a bit to captain Sanchez but is ok. On my way to make it to 10k. 23 points behind a leader in ML.

    What to do with this squad? 1ft, 0.4itb

    Foster (Grant)
    Davies - Valencia - Yoshida (Chambers, Mawson)
    Sanchez - Alli - Son - Siggy - De Roon
    Kun (C) - Lukaku (Llorente)

    1) Sell Llorente > Origi / Caroll
    2) Save and play De Roon
    3) ??? any other obvious moves?

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      I would save and then do Origi

      At least that's what I have done, well I did and profited. but would not bring him in this fixture.

  20. Legomane
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Back inside top 9k after third green arrow. Main ML rival, who played a horrendous WC last week and has somehow eeked himself ahead by a single point (thanks for downgrading Origi from 3bpts to 1, FPL...)
    We have been neck in neck for a few weeks now - I can just see it - I'm going to lose the ML by a McAuley's hair flick this season...

    1. Whats the Huth
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Happened last season for my mate.
      He was second in a cash ML. Fought his way up from bottom half to second place. And was a good 30-40 points ahead.

      Guy in third place gambled on giroud captain.

      Paid off

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Link to the ml standings?looking at that will try to predict who wins 😀

  21. David Davros
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    I've done Gylfi + Defoe > Eriksen + Origi.

    Was weighing up one or the other for a hit before this week, bit annoyed that I didn't do it, oh well

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Those are good transfers! All the Best!

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        solid

  22. Whats the Huth
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    Couldn't go without Alli any longer. Got him in last night for Siggy. He was killing me.

    G2G? I'm away now till Sunday. Any tips will be appreciated.

    Heaton.
    Alonso. Yoshi. Evans. Vert.
    Sanchez. Alli. Firmino.
    Origi. Lukaku. Aguero (C)

    1. WE GO FOR IT

      1. Whats the Huth
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        Pickford. Phillips. Tom Carroll. Robertson

        1. bench boost for every gamew…
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 18 days ago

          Maybe consider Phillips? For either Yoshi or Evans? Apart from that I say it´s gtg!

          1. WE GO FOR IT
            • 10 Years

          Sanchez out

  23. Hochoki
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    is it a good decision to do the transfer sanchez + coutinho + costa to hazard + eriksen + ibra for a -8 hit ??

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      No!

    2. Donhush
      • 11 Years

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years

  24. Jonny Sutt
    • 11 Years

    Is Gabriel a starter for Arsenal?

    1. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Depends on Koscielny's injury!

    2. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      As long as Kos is out i guess?

  25. Jebiga
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    siggy to eriksen for free ?

    1. Donhush
      • 11 Years

    3. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years

      No brainer if you don't have any Spurs player!

  26. McQueen
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 18 days ago

    So Kun or Ibra guys? Kun C leader. Did I answer this for my self or should I still go for Ibra?

    1. HellasLEAF
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Kun for me if you can afford.

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 18 days ago

        But, Ibrah will be good as well. Personally feel more confident captaining Kun.

        1. McQueen
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 18 days ago

          Cheers mate, yeah, have enough in the bank. Leaning towards him my self.

          1. n-doggg
            • 13 Years
            9 years, 18 days ago

            What about Jesus?

            1. McQueen
              • 10 Years
              9 years, 18 days ago

              Light training for me means at least a few weeks more. Will sort him out with my WC if needed. Cheers for the reminder, monitoring Jesus my self.

    2. WE GO FOR IT
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 18 days ago

      Kun for the next 2 weeks! Ibra after that

  27. KUNingas

    What to change? Bad week..

    Pickford
    Alonso, Valencia, Walker
    Sanchez, Alli, Firmino, Siggy, Lanzini
    Lukaku, Vardy

    Grant, Brunt, Holebas, Anichebe

    Aguero
    2 April - 90 mins vs Arsenal
    6 April - 90 mins vs Chelsea
    8 April - City at home vs Hull - surely Pep might rest him?

    Happy to have him in my team this weak but I won't be captaining him.

      1. HellasLEAF
        • 16 Years

        He will score 2 minimum.
