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.

      Arnie or Vardy?

      1. Taking one for the team
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Vardy for nailedness and form

    • Taking one for the team
      • 10 Years

      Firmino or Wilson?

      1. Phrilly

        Firmino

    • ZAWAd25
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Only got 7 players playing this week. Should I play my free hit this week?

      All chips available

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Nope. Take hits to field 10 or 11

      2. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        I'd look at a hit or two.

    • Numb
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Brooks or Snoddy or H.Barnes or ???

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Babel?

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Nah

      2. Fantasy Gold
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Brooks

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Cheers

      3. the vanisher
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        brooks if you have vardy/maddison, barnes if you have wilson/fraser

        1. Numb
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Brooks then!

        2. Numb
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Actually, no, I’ll have Vardy and Wilson!

          1. ZimZalabim
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 days ago

            snoddy then

            1. Numb
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 9 days ago

              I’m not sure why that’s such a factor though

              1. ZimZalabim
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 9 days ago

                tbh it really isnt
                i just like him as an option this week (maybe owner bias)
                but hes on set pieces seems to be preferred at the moment plays 90 in these types of games and tends to get bonus for even just one attacking return
                So out of barnes brooks and him i would rank them
                snoddy
                brooks
                barnes

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Barnes for me. He's firing so many shots in the box. All it takes is one or two to go in.

      5. JohnCarewCarew
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Tielemans? Liking the cut of his jib.

    • Revival
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      2-0 already, talk about a dream start! 😀

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Dangerous lead, they need more goals!

        1. Revival
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Agree, need a 3rd goal as Cech clean sheets are a rare collectors item these days

          1. TAT
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 days ago

            Indeed. Hopefully the good start can continue, leading to a comfortable win.

    • the vanisher
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      i have Firmino, choose 2 of the following strikers for a -8:

      A. Wilson
      B. Arnie
      C. Vardy

      1. Numb
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        AC

      2. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Ac

      3. ZimZalabim
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Not B

    • Pompel
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Maitland-Niles!
      I've actually got him in my team - don't ask

      1. Konstaapeli
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        But why?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Don't ask, officer.

      2. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        But do you have Pilt?

        1. Pompel
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Actually yes - somehow got misunderstood that Arsenal would play GW31 and GW33, and thought he was nailed until Bellerin return

          1. TAT
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 days ago

            £4.4 though. Could be worse.

    • RAFA THE GAFFA
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Best -4 here? Will FH32, WC33/34.

      A. Son+Kamara >> Fraser+Wilson
      B. Son+Kun >> Hazard+Wilson (got Kun at 11.2)

      Fabianski
      TAA • Digne • Rice
      Salah • Mané • FAnderson • Almirón
      Vardy
      (Button / Son* / Aguero* / Schar* / Bednarek* / Kamara*)

      1. Sandy Ravage
        • 10 Years

        A

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Any reason for A mate?

          1. Sandy Ravage
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 9 days ago

            I'd rather get rid of Kamara than Aguero

      2. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        A for me

        1. RAFA THE GAFFA
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Can I ask why A mate?

          1. Pompel
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 9 days ago

            Well, really depends on whether the funds you would lose on Kun are important for GW32. And I actually think it's not much to choose between Fraser and Haz for the two blanks.

      3. RAFA THE GAFFA

      Anyone else notice Ozil turn away in disgust just before the Auba cross thinking it had gone out?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        More like thinking it was going out.

    • diesel001
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Wait. FFS recommended Pereira, TAA and Robertson as defenders.

      Now they are recommending Hazard, Mane, Salah and Fraser.

      I only have three Liverpool slots so who do I drop?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Mane. He doesn't score away from home!

      2. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        If I was using FH I would have triple Liverpool attack of Salah, Mane and Firmino

      3. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Trent, VVD and Mane is wher the value is 😉

            Good luck getting the best Chelsea, Man U and Man City playersin 32 if you have Salah

            1. Rainer
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 9 days ago

              Free Hit will mean no Salah in 32 for many.

                7 years, 9 days ago

                True but the op is clearly talking about FH this week and Chenku about any week

      Going to take -4 to field 10 players.

      Worth -8 to sell Jimenez for a striker 6.6m or less who'll start BGW31 & 33? I'd only lose 0.2m on him.

      Two transfers I'm about to make will give me...

      Boruc
      TAA / Tarkowski / Diop
      Salah / Mane / Hazard / Fanderson
      Rondon / King

      (Ederson / AWB / Bennett / Pogba / Jimenez)

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Either bring in A) Mane & Hazard & Wilson/Barnes

        or B) Mane & Pedro/Fraser & Higuain/Vardy?

    • EL tridente
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Robbo or Van Dijk on WC?

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        If buying at current prices, Virgil.

      2. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Robbo.

      3. JohnCarewCarew

        Vvd all day long ( Robertson owner).

    • UnitednationsXI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Assuming money ain’t a problem, which 3 players from these for gw31/33?

      Fwds: Higuain, Vardy, Wilson, Arnie
      Mids: Hazard, Mane, Fraser

      I am leaning towards Mane Wilson Arnie but hazard is tempting too

      1. Pompel
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Vardy/Mané/Fraser

        Yep

    • white heart pain

      D.Luiz or Frazer?

      1. white heart pain
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        GW31 team
        Fab
        Robbo Yedlin
        Haz Salah Mane
        Vardy Wilson

      2. Slitherene
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Fraser

    • g40steve
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Who’s using TC this weekend?

      Salah looks ripe to punish the sellers?

      1. PascalCygan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        I'm tempted. I'll have Mane too but giving the armband to Salah at the moment. TC tempting.

      2. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Nah, I'll keep for Pool vs. Hud or if im feeling super risky, the potential extra DGW for Brighton.

        1. g40steve
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Thinking pool will rest 36 due to CL?

          1. The Tinkerman
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 9 days ago

            Depends if they are still trailing in the league I'd imagine. But the front 3 could be subbed early if they go ahead even if they start. So you could be onto something there.

            1. g40steve
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 9 days ago

              FH 32, WC 34, BB 35 so options are running out ?

    • PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      A) Hazard & Wilson or Barnes (already have King)
      B) Fraser & Vardy or Higuain

      Cheers

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          I'm not sure why you've advised Barnes when you have Wilson, yourself. Is it because Pascal says he has King also?

          I think Wilson is probably the best value striker in FPL this season (maybe after Jiminez).

          1. PascalCygan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 9 days ago

            Thanks, both. I see merit in both options. I'm not against doubling up on Bournemouth attack in the blank gameweeks. Though Burnley could/should score against Leicester. Feels a close call.

    • The Tinkerman
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Even though I have XI already I am tempted to do a -4:

      Jiminez > Wilson

      Despite buying Jiminez at 5.5m. I would bench Richarlison...

      1. The_Fish
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Seems daft to me.

      2. TheDragon
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        A -4 for a 1 week punt is rarely a good idea

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          2 weeks (GW33) but yes I agree its a big risk. I like the look of Wilsons ownership and his two home games though. I also have double Everton, which I cannot wait to WC out in 34...

          1. TheDragon
            • 7 Years

            I’ve got Rich and Digne and not thrilled about it.

            I mean it could work out but I do think the percentage play is ‘no transfer’. If you only had 10 players then I’d say go for it

              Yeah, if Richa hadn't scored last week it would be more tempting as he had looked like being dropped recently. This is my team, which I have constructed for free:

              Fab
              Robbo, Keane, _____
              Salah, Mane, Richarlison, Anderson, Brooks
              Higuain, Vardy

              I still have 1FT to fill that blank, i'm currently leaning towards Maguire due to set piece threat, and Burnley's vulnerability from set plays. The -4 for Wilson would mean benching a mid, and it'd definitely be Richa.

        Same position. I have 11 with Westwood but tempted to do jimenez to Wilson and bench Westwood

          7 years, 9 days ago

          If I didn't already have Brooks I'd maybe have committed to the idea already. I'll be holding any transfer until the deadline more or less now though...

    • Emiliano Sala
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 9 days ago

      Am I ready ? on -4

      Alisson
      Robbo Taa Chilwell
      Hazard Maddison Fraser Fanderson
      Arnie(C) Vardy Wilson

        Captaining Arnie????? Could be the greatest decision or the biggest D'oh!!!! ever

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          other option is wilson but I feel arnie will score a goal at least

        No Liverpool attack is brave, hide behind the couch whenever the ball goes near Mitro in the air.

        1. The Tinkerman
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          I'd honestly captain a liverpool full back if I were that confident of a CS, especially over Arnie. TAA looks good with some set pieces too.

          1. Emiliano Sala
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 9 days ago

            considered that, but arnie may start and explode. higher ceiling

            1. The Tinkerman
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 9 days ago

              But he also may not start. I'd go TAA or Hazard. Probably TAA, you will climb the rankings if Liverpool get a CS, regardless if Salah scores or not I'd imagine.

        2. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          yeah I should 😀 I pray for a better referee!

        Capt Hazard

        1. Emiliano Sala
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          hmmmm
          you think he will do better than arnie ?

          1. The Bandit
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 9 days ago

            Arnie isn’t even sure to start. Or finish

            1. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              7 years, 9 days ago

              But I love a punt so go for it if you’re feeling it

              1. Emiliano Sala
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 9 days ago

                thanks mate

            2. Emiliano Sala
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 9 days ago

              after pellegrini's quotes I think he will start and playing more than70 mins is good enough vs hudds ?

        It’s very ‘brave’.

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 9 days ago

          Vardy, Wilson, Haz all also really good options

    • The_Fish
      • 7 Years

      Fab
      TAA Robbo Rice Perreira
      Salah Hazard Maddison

      With BGW31 fast approaching many are have or are starting to finalise their plans for the upcomming GW.

      With this in mind what player that you do not own or intend to own due to team structure or other reasons do you fear the most?

      Who do you think will be the unsung hero of your team for BGW31?

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 9 days ago

        Fear Wilson and Hazard

      Rough with the smooth. I’m exactly 200,000 in the world. Woo hoo. Exactly. But it’s 200,000. Feels crap but still in top 4% in the world ( I ain’t at anything else I do). Shakes your confidence to go Arnie(C). And apparently it’s an offence to try and climb into a tv screen in Granada when Super Jackie Grealish suffers from a cowardly assault. Fussy.
