The Technical Area – Breaking Gameweek 31’s Template

1,225 Comments
Share

With just four fixtures confirmed for Gameweek 31 so far, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) options for this particular weekend appear thin on the ground.

Restricted to just three players from any one side, managers find themselves exploring hitherto uncharted waters in the hopes of fleshing out a starting lineup capable of returning an adequate points haul.

Though a number of us may choose to preserve our Free Hit Chips for Gameweek 35 instead – content to roll out just seven or eight players in Gameweek 31 – others may view this Gameweek as an ideal opportunity to deploy the Free Hit now in order to gain ground on the pack.

With this in mind, this Technical Area will be looking beyond the obvious candidates for filling out our Gameweek 31 squads and pinpointing some high-upside players capable of big returns.

    Guys can I have a bit of advice please? So both my substutute defenders are injured and I’ve already made my transfers to -4.

    Would you do Jones to someone else to make it -8. Obviously even if they just play it could recoup half the 4 points spent. If that makes sense.

    Or just play with 10 men this week?

    Thanks!!

      If you think the defender you will bring in has a good chance of getting you those 4 points back in this and coming games compared to keeping Jones, then go ahead

          Do you know that for sure? Don't listen to anyone on here.

          Just take the risk and sort him next week IF he's dropped. He's been brilliant for us. All this being dropped malarkey is all speculation because he didn't start vs Juve. Poch already explained that. I'm keeping vs palace

            You have been the most confident voice on here re keeping Son, you really don't think he is at risk of losing his spot in the starting line up ? The fixtures are great and id hate to ditch him then watch him play against Palace and even worse start v Huddersfield ! His away form hasn't been great though regardless.

              I actually think he's been our best player this season ( arguably). He was terrible vs Southampton but hes played well is most games he blanked and opens up so much space . he Also scores and creates . Wasn't long ago Poch was saying how important he is for us. Vs the weaker teams we can afford to attack I think he's perfect.

              I'm not trying to second guess Poch and I could get burned but to drop son now is very harsh . He's worth one more week to assess. I think the risk- reward is there. If he plays and scores vs palace it will annoy you knowing he plays hudders at home next

              Good luck whatever you do. I'll prob regret it haha

        Assumption. I've scoured the net looking for clues and found nothing. Only a bit of media speculation that Moura will start but nothing from Poch . 2 out of 3 predicted lineup a have son starting fwiw

      Davies, even with slightly risk of rotation he can bring more points then Vertongen. More attacking and all that.

      No WC, all other chips. The accepted wisdom seems to be BB 34, TC 37. But in my case might it be better to TC 34, BB 37 therefore allowing extra weeks to rebuild after 31? FH like everyone else 35.

      I should have 7 or 8 GW 31 players, could have more if I wanted with no hits (10) but that should be enough?

      Maybe there's not enough to go by on recent form, but surely Siggy is a viable contender for a spot? He might just be on his way back to greatness, you never know....
