Saturday’s slate of seven matches comes to a conclusion at Vicarage Road as Watford entertain Everton at 5.30pm.

This evening’s encounter affords Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers the chance of short-term scouting, with both sides two of only eight teams currently guaranteed to play in Gameweek 31.

The Hornets swept aside Chelsea 4-1 in their previous home match under Javi Gracia, with the likes of Gerard Deulofeu and Abdoulaye Doucoure emerging as potential targets for our five-man midfields.

Meanwhile, both Theo Walcott and Oumar Niasse will fancy their chances against the league’s worst home defence.

The Toffees pair have both delivered two goals and an assist in the last four Gameweeks to earn the interest of Fantasy managers.

Indeed, Niasse was the fourth most transferred in player for Gameweek 28, claiming over 152,00 new owners, while 40,000+ have opted for Walcott as they square up to a backline that’s conceded 26 times in front of their own fans.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Any chance Otamendi or Lingard will not play this gw?
    Have Mariappa on 1st bench.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Otamendi should play. Lingard coming off the bench is the big worry.

    Will Kiko get place back? If so whose place does he get?

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years

      Janmaat if anyone.

      1. RashFraud
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Or Mariappa xD

  4. SADIO SANÉ

    I probably should have seen this coming but are Niasse and Wilson now bad picks for GW31, if they weren't already?

    1. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Basically dont get them in if you dont have them, but if you have them it would be silly to get rid with the blank so close.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        I was fooled by BFS bigging him up yesterday

    2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Not for 31 but besides that, yes

    3. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Niasse will probably get rotated. And Wilson hasn’t done shite since I got him 3/4 weeks back

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Defoe + Tosun/DCL = headache.

    5. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      They were always volatile options. Both Bournemouth and Everton have several forwards on the bench. When Wilson and Niasse don't score, they often look poor and get subbed off. You either sit there thinking you've got a bargain on your hand or a trap.

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        yeah it's a trap, and it's gonna rip my hand off

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Wilson is the definition of a trap in FPL 😆

    6. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      early look ahead, bench one:
      Niasse (bur)
      or
      Wilson (lei)

      1. RashFraud
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        You bench and they might score. FTS

    So is Daniels keeping that point or what?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights

      no

  6. Fantasy Gold

    About average?

    1. DA Minnion (Former great)
      • 13 Years

      Small green.

    2. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years

      Wondering the same

    3. Ghost Gooner

      Link? 😕

      1. Fantasy Gold
        • 12 Years

        Caught one 😉

  7. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 13 Years

    Second week in a row Daniels gets me 0 points. Good bye Charlie.

    1. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Why does he not get 1 point?

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Wow, very low

    2. Maddamotha

      Im bossin this bich

  8. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    early look ahead, bench one:
    Niasse (bur)
    or
    Wilson (lei)

    please don't say both 😀

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Both ideally but I guess Niasse

      1. SADIO SANÉ
        • 10 Years

        cheers

  9. Sadio

    The top 4 defenders in the watchlist - only 1 of them is the best option on their team.

  10. Mika-eel

    Watched Aliens again for the umteenth time, is Ripley the best female protagonist ever in a movie? Truly badass.

    1. Boss Hogg
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Aliens is brilliant.
      Game over man, game over.

      I throw in Sarah from The Descent in the badass female lead debate.

      1. Mika-eel
        • 8 Years

        Favourite quote from the movie 🙂

      James Cameron had a photo of her on his desk when he was writing the script.

      1. Mika-eel
        • 8 Years

        Thanks for the piece of trivia Virg.

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years

      No contest! Shes tough while still feeling like a realistic character.

      1. Mika-eel
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed mate. Was just peeved the way they killed off Newt and Hicks in the next movie.

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Only Alien and Aliens exist as far as Im concerned. Fincher is a hack, hate it when directors make a sequel that takes a huge dump on what people liked about the original(s).

          1. Mika-eel
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 3 months ago

            Prometheus is my guilty pleasure. Covenant was the final nail in the coffin I think.

  11. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    What a pain in the backside it is when you watch a crap game because you have a defender playing and they concede in the last 10 minutes

    1. Rik Waller
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Pain in Niasse

  12. tm245

    Butland, what a save on Mahrez - ugh.

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Deserved the 3 baps for that. Proper man in stand baps.

      Oh i wish they would bring it back

      1. tm245
        • 14 Years

        It did look like he had a howler on that OG.

  13. Point-one short

    Chances of son and sterling both starting?

    Bench of Ibe(0), Dunk(0), Jones staring at me. 🙁

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      3 and 0 staring at me. Same position

      Son will play some part. Sterling sounds like he maybe ok

  14. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    So Theo Walcott is FPL gold, yeah?

    1. Rainer

      *Fools gold.

      1. FPL Virgin

    3. Fantasy Gold

    4. Jairzinho
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      You spelt Harry Kane wrong.

    My team is shite.

    1. XabiAlonso

      Everton fan?

    2. Yozzer

    What happened to Charlie Daniels today?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      At fault for the first goal. Hauled off.

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Starting place in doubt now?

  17. Anthony77
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Mahrez or Mkhitarayan for the next 2 GW ?

  18. Regin

    what is the average points?

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 12 Years

      35 average top 10k
      76 average on FFS

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        *apparently*

    2. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Should be around 30 rn

  19. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    I guess owning a Claude Puel attacker and an Alan Pardew goalkeeper is not the best approach.

  20. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    34 from 6, about average? so small arrow either way?

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      That's the top 10k average. Depends on where you stand really.

  21. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Gabbiadini scored? Now I've seen it all.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      purely done out of spite to take away our mee/pope cs

  22. Regin
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Is it time to start considering Arsenal after the City game? They have wonderful fixtures thereafter. Bellerin & Ramsey/ Miki is who I am considering. No place for Auba as I think I am gonna keep Kane & Firmino for the rest of the season.

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      i am

      monreal

  23. Yozzer
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Arnie in next week. Pointless bringing in the gw31 players. They worthless

  24. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Waited 2 weeks for this.

    Multiple blanks. Last minute clean sheet wipe outs. Failed transfers.

    Brilliant. 🙄

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      to be honest other than Liverpool again (boring), most of the good picks did shite - the bad picks did shite too. 1 CS all day too.

  25. Regin
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    which transfer should i prioritise?

    Otamendi to Bellerin? (Arsenal fixtures getting good)
    OR
    Lingaard to Arnautovic?

    I got now 8 player playing in gw31 which I think is enough.

  26. Ragabolly

    What's wrong with Daniels point?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years

      2 goals conceded, 45 minutes.

  27. AF90
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Don't usually complain about Bonus points but Salah not even getting 1 & Butland getting 3 after an own goal is a bit much.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Pool scored 4 goals.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Ox getting in over Salah is pretty laughable, even with Salahs missed chances.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Salah didn't even make 30 passes.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He misplaces passes and misses a fair amount of chances. Don't see the issue

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Mark captained Kane.

  28. Regin
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    anybody knows where jordan ibe was? Not even in the squad today?
