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.

    1. Konstaapeli
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 16 days ago

      *insert some missus joke here*

    2. Limited & Mediocre Mana…
      • 9 Years

      Yes IMO

    3. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 16 days ago

  2. Gizzachance

    trans haz or wilson ? A haz for 4-4-2 with salah mane anderson
    B wilson for 4-3-3 with vardy& rondon

    1. Big Ping
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 16 days ago

      Did you just assume Haz and Wilson's gender fluidity?

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 16 days ago

        ha, cheers for reply !

        1. Big Ping
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          I think Wilson

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years

        Xe has a point

    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

    Thanks guys.

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 16 days ago

      B jimi 2 blanks, vardy none

    Zambo Anguissa -98.3% on fplstats, safe to hold until tomorrow night?

    1. Jammyfpl
        7 years, 16 days ago

        How do you have zambo anguissa is the real question

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          I thought that was a 90's pop song

      • FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 16 days ago

        Won’t drop. Too popular to drop. In form, great fixtures, Great stats. Who is he?

      • Big Ping
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 16 days ago

        Thanks guys. I'll hold till tomorrow and hope his other 13 owners do the same

        1. DeathoftheParty

          PMA

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

        Crap, I'll be priced out of Hazard if he falls!

        1. Big Ping
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          Very sideways move that, there must be another way to get Hazard in??

    2. circusmonkey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 16 days ago

      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.

      1. yakirh
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 16 days ago

        I am doing the same thing
        Good luck

      2. Kiwivillan
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 16 days ago

        No Schär or Longstaff

    3. mo 10 years on FFS? Join my…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 16 days ago

      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 🙂

      1. FPL Forward Thinker
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 16 days ago

        Doesn’t make sense to me

      2. Jammyfpl
          7 years, 16 days ago

          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

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            It's confusing but I think he means long term keeper not GK

      3. Dee Lixon
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 16 days ago

        Kun, Son and Jimenez to Hazard, Wilson Vardy for -8?

        Would give me:
        Allison
        Robertsson, Luiz, Pereira (AWB, Löwe?!)
        Salah, Hazard, Fraser, Antonio (Pogba)
        Vardy, Wilson, Rondon

        Not too worried by the money lost (-0,5)

        1. Dee Lixon
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          ... will FH 32 and WC 34.

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Yeah looks good

        2. Jammyfpl
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Good moves mate should set you up nicely for this week and 33

          Gambling on big West ham win,
          How's this looking? (No hits)

          Fab
          Robbo Luiz Pereira
          Hazard Mane (c) Salah Anderson
          King Rondon Arnautovic

          1. how now brown cow

            Good so long as west ham have a big win. 🙂

          7 years, 16 days ago

          It's embarrassing how exciting I find the build up to these blank and double gameweeks.

          It's like Xmas as a kid, except when the day comes you realise you still have Felipe Anderson and a useless Leicester defender.

          1. FPL Scoop
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Hahaha same on all counts

          2. Iceball
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Yeah and part of it the kick seeing other struggle who dont prepare and have blown chips already. 196 on a benchboost 2 years ago a warm memory...

        5. Warmsy
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          I’ve managed to get a team out for a -4.
          It’s got 3 WHAM, 1 HUD, 1 BOU, 1 NEW and 1 LEI but to be honest i’ve had enough of reading and thinking about it.

          1. FPL Scoop
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Wouldn’t want a HUD! But yeah fair enough should be fine

        6. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          Lascelles training as normal with squad. Do I trade him out for a hit or take inevitable -1pt

          1. Big Al Stankovic
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Keep him. Due a goal soon, and rafa will bring some good defensive approach to the game, so could be a low scoring one.

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

          In need of some help guys. FH or take hits this wknd?

          6 starting players :
          Robbo, Clyne
          Fanderson, Salah
          Vardy, Rondon

          Do a -4: Hojbjerg and Doherty >> Fraser and Pereira or FH?

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Waste of FH. Take -12 if you want. No Mane?

          2. Big Hands Barry
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            FH. Need Mane/haz

            1. Kiwivillan
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              7 years, 16 days ago

              Waste of FH if uses it 32 and takes hits on 31/33 players will pay for hit

        8. FPL Scoop
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          Have Wilson, and total 9 BGWers currently (playing FH32, WC34)

          Camarasa to Fraser worth an extra hit? Taken a -4 currently

          Predictions for the BOU NEW game?

          1. Iceball
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            I would do it. Small risk anyway and +EV

          2. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            I wouldn't think twice about taking that hit. To get Fraser I need to -4 and go without Hazard or sell Hayden or Pogba and no chance I'm selling Pogba

          3. Big Al Stankovic
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            3-1, and I’m Newcastle supporter...

            It would be a no-brainer for me.

        9. Kane Toads
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          Mane played 90 mins in UCL. Will this impact his performance/start potential vs. Fulham away?

          1. Big Hands Barry
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            No. Even better form so undroppable

        10. FPL Forward Thinker
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          Czech the Sevilla score. Later winner for Slavia Prague?

        11. Iceball
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          Do you excpect Alonso to play sunday? Worth a hit to remove him?

          1. FPL Pillars
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Keep and hope for the best. He played well tonight I hear

        12. Delph & Safety
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          So, how does this sound for 31?

          Agüero to Wilson
          Puncheon to Fraser
          Bednerak to Robertson
          -4

          Gives me 11 players and double pool defence.
          Although I lose 0.3 on Agüero.

          1. FPL Forward Thinker
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Would you get Kun back or go sterling, plus another.

            1. Delph & Safety
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 16 days ago

              Yeah not sure I would imagine I’d want him back after FH32 but I’m on WC a week later so hopefully I could scrape past 33.

          2. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

          6.3m midfielder needed.

          A) Harvey Barnes
          B) Pedro
          Other (I have Fraser)

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Teilemans

        14. Big Al Stankovic
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          In need of a defender for this gw.
          Have only 5,4m, so can’t afford a Chelsea player. Looking at bournemouth and Leicester.

          Which option is preferable?
          A) Any Leicester defender (Pereira/Chilwell/maguire)
          B) Aké
          C) Mepham/Daniels and save some money for gw33.

          Cheers.

            Rice vs Hudd

            1. Big Al Stankovic
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 16 days ago

              Good suggestion, but sitting with Fab, Anderson(?!), and Arnie. So no room for more hammers players.

          2. FPL Pillars
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Emerson is 5.4 is he not? Will be worth it if he keeps his pace

            1. Big Al Stankovic
              • 13 Years
              7 years, 16 days ago

              Yeah, was looking at him, but with an Alonso goal and assist today, not so confident he will play both those matches, or even one of them.

              1. FPL Pillars
                • 9 Years
                7 years, 16 days ago

                I Imagine he will be given this weekend given the 90mins and away journey time

                1. Big Al Stankovic
                  • 13 Years
                  7 years, 16 days ago

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

                  Have u got him in?

                  Any b’mouth/Leicester defenders in your team?

        15. Tabbara

          Which trio is better:
          A: Brooks, Vardy and Van djik/Robertson
          B: Wilson, Rice and Mané
          C: Wilson,Vardy (take out jiminez) and Robertson

          Players that will be transferred are: Aguero, Puncheon and Bennett
          Have Salah and TAA

          • 9 Years
          7 years, 16 days ago

          Is anyone concerned that Mane has only three goals in all of his away matches this season? Or does his current form supersede his away match results?

          1. Big Al Stankovic
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            2 goals yesterday, so wouldn’t put too much in to it. But i’m probably still to scared of not (c) salah anyway.

          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.

          1. FPL Pillars
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            I would take it, should pay off over 31 and 33

          a) Arnie
          b) Vardy (I also own Barnes and Anderson)

          Thanks

            B is for security.

            A if you’re maverick and want the one with the highest ceiling.

            Sitting with Arnie myself, but would probably do A if I could do it all over again.

            Arnie this week and switch to Vardy in 33 why not?

          Would you rather have Hazard or Vardy for this week and for GW33? And don't say both because that would require a -12 and I'm not doing that 😛

            • 11 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Would rather get Fraser for 31/33 but probably end up with Hazard because of EO. Already did Aguero>Vardy yesterday

              I don’t think he’s talking about your team 😆

            2. Pierce34

              7 years, 16 days ago

              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!)

                • 11 Years

                I’d rather have Hazard I think

            In effect the -12 is a -6 🙂

          King -> Wilson worth a -4 or no? King looked so out of it last week

            1. Saka Punch
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 16 days ago

              Interesting. Does that take into account Wilson and King playing together? Or was that King playing when WIlson was out?

                7 years, 16 days ago

                I did tally of 10 home games where Fraser King and Wilson all played

                Fraser 68pts
                Wilson 57pts
                King 50pts

                  Fair play Fraser! Ok might be worth hanging on for this week then - thanks

                Wilson has missed King's last three home matches.

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

                  King scored well at home recently without Wilson. Thought to add that

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            Rather have both

          2. Big Al Stankovic
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            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.

          Taken a hit to field 11. Am I good to go:

          Fabianski
          VanDijk - Chilwell - TAA - Ake
          Anderson - Salah - Hazard - Brooks
          Arnautovic - Wilson

          Who would you prioritise bringing in this week folks?

          a) Hazard
          b) Mane
          c) Both, selling Pogba and losing £0.5m in the process

          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.

          1. Kiwivillan
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 16 days ago

            More likely Lukaku and Pogba

            1. rjcv177
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 16 days ago

              That's template for United, i get it...but i think the luk+rash is thinking outside the box to find ways to improve FH

          2. Bruno Bruno!!
            • 10 Years

            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

            1. rjcv177
              • 10 Years
              7 years, 16 days ago

              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 🙁

            I’ve just been doing the same I’ve looks at Lukaku Pogba and lindelof for United
            Aguero Lukaku Jimenez upfront

          4. Moderately content penguin
            • 7 Years

            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)

            Bournemouth better fixtures and Pedro is a flog
