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.

                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

            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.

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

            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.

          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).

            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.

      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...

          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...

            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.

          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.

              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.

      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.
