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.

    Guys,

    Best pick:

    A) Play Westwood - Home to Leicester - 1 goal and 7 assists this season

    B) Do Jimenez > Vardy for a -4 and bench Westwood

      Did it: Rashford to Arnie rather than to Wilson. Going for the points this week, even though a bit riskier, sounds like he'll start though. Newcastle don't really let in hat fulls often but Cruddersfield do. Got a decent 11 out. Good night.

      Dilemma! 2 FTS and need a keeper. I can field 11 with higgi a potential doubt. -4 for Wilson taking out jimi but jimi's 9+ on projected for his dgws scarring me!

      Would you ride with

      Fabs
      Trant, vdv, rice, keane
      Hazard, rich, sigi, mane
      Arni, higgy.

      Or minus 4 with Wilson taking out 9+ dgw jimi but replacing keane this gw . I am WC gw34.

      This is 3 gw play.

      Hope that makes sense 🙂

          Why do you need a keeper mate? Fabianksi is as good as most for these next couple weeks. No point taking any hits if you can field a team this week. You could use a free transfer to transfer out Keane 3 Everton is probably too much

                  You’re probably right. Think he has far less attacking potential than alonso, and don’t rate their chances for cs this week.

          Play Taylor (Burnley) or take a hit and get fraser for morgan Gibbs white (bench fodder)
          I’m fielding 10 gw 31 (no gk), suspect one of the Liverpool defenders will get rested so won’t mind having Taylor in the bench.

              Already have Fraser, got him in last week luckily. I was looking at Aguero to Vardy but Wilson or Barnes would enable both Mane and Hazard rather than just Mane. (so I suppose the question is more complex than Vardy vs. Hazard of course!)

            Wilson is a more natural goalscorer, but King is getting good chances and will Get his fair share of points as well.

            Not worth a hit, don’t even think it’s worth it for free.

          Tinkering for FH32 already.

          Is anybody thinking of pairing lukaku and rashford and leave pogba out?
          his form dipped lately and rash vs pogba is cheaper.

            Pogbas form has dipped because weve missed Herrera & Matic in the midfield. If they are back after IB then pogba will play alot miore attacking

              That is even other concern for our FHteams. After IB you can not use "form" to judge teams/players. Some players will come from IB to play 2 games on 32, cup 33 and europe before 34, right? Thats a problem 🙁

            Pogba I think is the only 100% tied on United assets up front. I don't see Lukaku getting both games especially if Martial and Lingard are around and fit. (There Rashford form is hardly ideal either.)

            Quite likely Pogba will be my only United player unless I go De Gea

          Anyone else considering Pedro (was rested tonight) instead of Fraser for 31-32? He should get at least 90 mins over two matches in GW32 against weak opposition? (I’m not not free-hitting in 32)
