Our series of articles on the best Free Hit squad for Blank Gameweek 31 continues today with a look at midfielders.

Using data that can be found in the Fantasy Football Scout members area we have assessed which options are the most likely to find the back of the net, offer assists, or provide a combination of both.

Members can read on and take in our analysis, but those without membership can still enjoy Tuesday’s article on goalkeepers for free.

    I have King. Should I take -4 to get Wilson this week. I'm in a head-to-head league so it's more about, I haven't watched any Bournemouth matches. Is King not scoring because he's been unlucky? How big a risk am I taking here that Wilson posts double digits and King walks away with a blank? Thoughts?

        I owned Wilson for much of the season and he's been amazing but do feel there is some recency bias with him this week and King is the forgotten man. I'm actually considering King instead of Wilson, on pens too. Still undecided though.

      My advice is wait, imagine bringing him in then during tomorrow mornings presser Howe tells us Wilson picked up a knock in training. Wait for all the info, forget the price.

        Dunno mate. That's a v cagey way to play it.

        That 0.1 could be crucial for free hit and wildcard

          I hear you, every season until this one ive made early transfers but this year I've tried to adopt the 'points over pounds' philosophy and it's really paid off at times. Obviously you have to do what you feel is best, early transfers often work with no problem at all, not for me this week though, I'm waiting until tomorrow.

          0.1 is barely anything ...

      He's been over a 100 for a while on Football Fix - I really think that's a much more reliable guide than FPLstats

    Whats the better option?
    A: Jota, Kamara, Doherty -> Barnes, Wilson, Diop (-8, field 11)
    B: Jota, Kamara -> McNeil, Wilson (-4, field 10)

    Plan is to FH 32 and WC 34, like most.

          Not really. I like strikers on a scoring run though.

    Hi guys, how much do we know about GW33? Which teams definitely playing? Wondering whether this hit is worth it:

    Sterling + Jiménez > Haz + Wilson

    Leaves me with 12 but includes TAA and Higuain doubts

    Can field 10 + Puncheon for this week. Will FH32.

    Fab
    TAA - Robbo - Digne
    Salah - Hazard - Fraser - F.Anderson - (Punchy)
    Vardy - Arnie

    Speroni - Kun - Doherty - WB

    That's decent, right?
