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, 1 month 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, 1 month 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, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

        I was fooled by BFS bigging him up yesterday

    2. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Not for 31 but besides that, yes

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

      Defoe + Tosun/DCL = headache.

    5. Ramboros
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Wilson is the definition of a trap in FPL 😆

    6. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

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

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

        You bench and they might score. FTS

    So is Daniels keeping that point or what?

  6. Fantasy Gold

      Small green.

    2. Rik Waller

  7. DA Minnion (Former great)

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

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

      Why does he not get 1 point?

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

      Wow, very low

    2. Maddamotha

  8. SADIO SANÉ
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

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

    please don't say both 😀

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

        Thanks for the piece of trivia Virg.

    3. Brosstan

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

      1. Mika-eel
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. Brosstan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

  11. Bielsa's Blue Bucket

    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, 1 month ago

      Pain in Niasse

  12. tm245

    Butland, what a save on Mahrez - ugh.

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

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

      Oh i wish they would bring it back

      1. tm245

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

    Chances of son and sterling both starting?

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

    1. Yozzer
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      3 and 0 staring at me. Same position

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

  14. FPL Virgin

    So Theo Walcott is FPL gold, yeah?

    4. Jairzinho

      You spelt Harry Kane wrong.

    1. XabiAlonso

    What happened to Charlie Daniels today?

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

      At fault for the first goal. Hauled off.

      1. Boss Hogg
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Starting place in doubt now?

  17. Anthony77

    Mahrez or Mkhitarayan for the next 2 GW ?

  18. Regin

    what is the average points?

    1. Fantasy Gold

      35 average top 10k
      76 average on FFS

        *apparently*

    2. RashFraud
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Should be around 30 rn

  19. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month 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, 1 month ago

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

    1. Pariße
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

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

  21. tm245
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Gabbiadini scored? Now I've seen it all.

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

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

  22. Regin
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month 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

  23. Yozzer
    • 8 Years

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

  24. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Waited 2 weeks for this.

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

    Brilliant. 🙄

    1. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month 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, 1 month 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™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      2 goals conceded, 45 minutes.

  27. AF90

    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™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Pool scored 4 goals.

      1. Brosstan
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

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

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Salah didn't even make 30 passes.

    2. Ghost Gooner
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

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

    3. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Mark captained Kane.

  28. Regin
    • 8 Years

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