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.

      no

    2. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Robertson at risk of rotation?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Has played 12/13.

      Always very difficult to read Klopp though. Still dodgy ground to me

    2. Garth Marenghi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Possible

    3. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Slightly, but who knows.

  6. Kanteisking

    Fab
    Ota, Christsensen, VVD
    Salah, KDB, Sterling, Delafou

  7. Kun Tozser
    • 10 Years

    Would you switch Wilson> Kane this week for free?

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I'd do it any week but a blank.

      1. Nascimento
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        I'd even do it for a blank.

    3. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years

      Y

  8. BigAsGiroud_

    Except VVD and Daniels, which defender should we bring in for GW31?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Jack Bauer

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Dawson maybe.

    I'm a shameless weather nerd and some of the models churning out are unbelievable. This could be the coldest spell of weather we've seen in the UK for about 30 years. I know most of you couldn't give two chits, but I'm saying this because I think there's gonna be a lot of postponements next week.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 11 Years

      Little flowers like Richarlison might turn into ice cubes.

      Tnx for the info. And do you know something about Europe in general?

    5. Nascimento

      8 years, 1 month ago

      It's the Beast from the East. All because a vortex has opened up in the stratosphere. It's led to us getting Serbia's weather and now we could face temperatures of upto -5.

      1. Nascimento
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        And if your next question is 'what's the name of the vortex?' I'm sorry, I can't remember.

    1. Epic Fail

      Keep Kun.

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years

      I would.

    3. JoeSoap
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks. Split decision, hard to call. Palace potentially a weak team and City game could have goals.

  15. JONALDINHO

    Any ideas??
    Pope
    Van Dijk • Jones • Kenny
    Salah(C) • Sterling • Son • Mahrez • Walcott
    Kane • Wilson
    (Elliot / Otamendi / Ogbonna / Depoitre)
    Alonso, Martial and Lingard to Van Dijk, Mahrez and Walcott(-4)?Yes or no. Will mean no Firmino is only downside!

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Good moves for -4. You can get Firmino next week by downgrading Son if he is becoming a rotation risk.

  16. BigAsGiroud_
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Have Salah and Firmino, should I get:

    A) Robertson + Siggy

    or

    B) Mane + Schindler or Dawson

    1. Nomar

  23. Snoop
    • 9 Years

    I currently have five players that will play in gw31.. but I've two ft. Should I aim for getting players in that will play that week or just free hit?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years

      Are you WCing at some point?

      1. Snoop
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Yes before a double game week to bench boost

    2. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Ft's should be enough then. You can save fh for 35 since you have enough time to prepare for 31.

  24. Buck The Trent
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Why there is more love for mahrez here than eriksen/alli ?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Honestly, I personally prefer Eriksen. But Mahrez is cheaper.. not gonna be much between them in the next 3... Alli isnt performing like a 8.9 at all this season..

    2. George James
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      More explosive. Better fixtures

    Is Son nailed short term or too risky?

  26. :
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    To use chess terminology, I think this week marks the end of the middlegame and the beginning of the endgame. Different pieces can take on different values at this stage of the game so it's time to sacrifice my Queen and two of his weary horses and promote three of my pawns to shiny, fresh castles...

    Firmino x Aguero
    Mane x Son
    Wilson x Ayew

    Checkmate!

    1. the axolotl
      • 14 Years

      u can only have 2 castles. rookie mistake

  27. Klip Klopp
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    A. Chamberlain + Otamendi --> Milivojevic + VVD?

    B. Aguero + Otamendi --> Kane + Daniels/Mee?

    This is my team:

    DDG / Elliot
    Kenny / Alonso / Duffy / Otamendi / Ogbonna
    Chamberlain / Salah / Sterling / Mkhi / Walcott
    Aguero / Firmino / Wilson

    1. Kolarov Fpl Legend
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      B.) With Mee. Then you can get rid of Ox next week since you can play 3-4-3 this gw.
