Saturday continues with five afternoon kick-offs, as an array of Gameweek 31 assets audition for our squads.

Three of the eight teams involved next weekend are at home today, with Everton and Huddersfield Town perhaps under the main focus.

At Goodison Park, Fantasy managers will be assessing the merits of Theo Walcott and Gylfi Sigurdsson, along with full-backs Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines. All four start for the Toffees against Brighton, as they bid to make our line-ups for a Gameweek 31 visit to Stoke City.

But the Seagulls arrive on Merseyside in outstanding form, having fired more shots than any other team over the last four Gameweeks and with Glenn Murray – the fourth most signed player before today’s deadline – boasting five goals in as many matches.

Meanwhile, Huddersfield Town’s options will also be under scrutiny.

Steve Mounie, Rajiv van la Para and Alex Pritchard are among the names to be considered as the Terriers host Swansea City at the John Smiths Stadium today.

West Brom’s squad is certainly more off the radar, with our expectations perhaps limited to their threat at set-pieces. Nonetheless, Alan Pardew’s side have one more opportunity to impress before Gameweek 31 when they take on Leicester City at The Hawthorns.

Elsewhere, Newcastle host Southampton and West Ham United take on Burnley, with Marko Arnautovic perhaps the most notable asset on show over those two encounters.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    What are the chances Otamendi starts on Monday? Mee points sitting on 1st sub atm

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

      High. Was rested midweek

      1. jaybradlights
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        It'll be jammy as hell if he does. Compensation at least for going Arnie instead of Mahrez 2 weeks back

  4. Patch
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Mahrez and Pope hopefully get bonus

    Swindler may swindle one...

    Wally...I hope it hurts.

  5. Krafty Werks
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    So looking likely that i'll now be taking a -8 for 31 instead of a -4 as planned with Wally possibly out?

    Kun, Son, Wally & Goldson > Firmino, Siggy, Zaha (if gets a run out today and looks fit?) & Coleman (or Baines?).

    1. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

      FH for me 😎

    Mee first sub...cue a 1 point Sterling cameo now

  7. sunzip14

    If Davies is rested for Rose, Mee comes off the bench. Any chance of that happening?

    1. Dr. DOOM
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      I don't think so. Spurs need top4. Davies first choice.

    2. fr3d
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Big chance

  8. Dr. DOOM

    41 pre bonus. Lovely. 🙂

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Mahrez(c) fair play mate. I bottled it

      1. Dr. DOOM
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Chasing , so had to take the risk. Kane safer though.

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

    Only need 3 Alonso goals.

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years

      Oh you will get them since I sold him.

      Don't say I don't do anything for you feckers.

    Bavies to get some game time tomorrow?

  11. SW6

    Let's hope West Ham get replaced by a London club with a bit more class next season 😎

    1. Monkey Hanger
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Millwall?

      1. SW6
        • 13 Years

        Not quite what I had in mind 😆

      Feels pretty lousy to be a Hammer right now to be honest! Since the Payet season things have been toxic

      1. Monkey Hanger
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Giving the poisonous Moyes the job, was the final straw.

  12. Dr. DOOM
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    What are we expecting from Alonso?

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      A Goal, cleansheet and ALL the bonus!!!

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      56 minutes and a goal conceded

    3. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
      • 11 Years

      Disappointment would be par for today

    4. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      Two free kick goals minimum

      1. Dr. DOOM
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Not today though. After we take him out on wildcard.

      The way this week has gone, 0

  13. The Nuttmxn
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 1 month ago

    Can't believe I benched Pope, just got put off by the fact West Ham had scored every game since GW 17.

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

      I have to say, first half West Ham were okay and looked more likely. Once Burnley put two up top, that was that.

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

    Get ready for more bonus point system moaning regards Mahrez 😆

    1. The Nuttmxn
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Why?

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

        Iborra should finish ahead of him.

        1. The Nuttmxn
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          I don't see that as fundamentally a problem.

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

          2 for Riyad?

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years

      Mahrez winning goal 3 bps?

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years

        should be!

  15. Limited & Mediocre Mana…

    All in all, I can say I'm really glad I have completely ignored 31

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Some people seem to have ignored GW30 as welll....

    2. Rash

      Wish I did

    3. Yozzer
      • 8 Years

      It's cost me a 67 point lead over my rival. He's in front now. All because of 31 planning

    4. adey70
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Same as Pumpkinhead - after months of carefully making my way up into the top 20k, I have spent five weeks looking to get ahead for Week 31. The result? Dropped way down the league and I don't even recognise my team any more. I will have 11 players next week. But they are mostly shite.

  16. Karan_G14

    Walcott to Mane for fee tonight?

    Have 2 FTs.

    Don’t want to loose that 0.1

    Looking like a -4 this week now.

    Anyone else for a Burnley clean sheet stuck on the bench?

  19. Viper

    Walcott at his trolling best today.

    Almost certainly out of next week. Down to five players now after holding through a series of blanks

    1. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Super troll indeed.

      But I was just mulling over who I would have had in his slot over the last few weeks and I don't think it would have been anyone good anyway. Already had Mahrez, Son too pricey etc.

    2. Victor6359
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 1 month ago

      Cheers for your advice earlier Viper 🙂 got rid of Sterling and brought Mahrez in...forgot to change the captaincy to him right enough but hopefully Kane can match him tomorrow.

  20. Waylander

    Benched Naughton for VVD 🙁

    1. JohnnyMagrinho
        8 years, 1 month ago

        woooooo. enjoy your point buddy.

    2. JohnnyMagrinho
        8 years, 1 month ago

        Odds on Carlos Carvahal to come out with some weird analogy along the lines of:

        "We had our head cut off early in the day, as soon as we wake up we are under the guillotine. But instead of running like a headless chicken we take a moment to realise we can still breathe and don't need to panic. We might have played without a head but we had the heart to survive - this is what you must do if you do not want to die. We are living, even without our head."

        Or something equally ridiculous.

        I can't wait to hear it.

        1. Stokelona
          • 9 Years

          Haha, brilliant!

      • Delph & Safety
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 1 month ago

        What should I do with Arnautovic?

        When I WC in 32 I won’t want him.
        Not many GW31 options especially if Walcott is out.

        1. JohnnyMagrinho
            8 years, 1 month ago

            Get rid of him. Even if it means playing with 10 players as opposed to 11.

          So after that HUD game, which Mid would you go for? Mooy, Pritchard or Van la parra?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years

            None. Double Bournemouth or Siggy.

        3. Twisted Saltergater
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years

          Looks a great gameweek for GW31 free hitters...

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

          Kane & Eriksen > Stanislas & King for free?

        5. Plagued by indecision
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Walcott has been very frustrating.

          Also played Lossl over Fabianski. Not a disaster, but also frustrating.

        6. Stokelona
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 1 month ago

          Could West Ham be deducted points please?

          All those selling Walcott this week would do well to consider Yannick Bolasie.
