Our series of articles on the best Free Hit squad for Blank Gameweek 31 concludes with a look at Fantasy Premier League forwards.

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 am using free hit in 32.

    Is it worth me selling Pogba this week to get some more players playing this week? I will lose quite a bit in value, but Pogba also doesn’t play in 33

        Higher ceiling with Mane, and hes going to be highly owned so missing out on him could be a rank killer if he scores (and based on current form, you wouldn't bet against him).

        Try to absorb as much information as possible before hand, but probably take the chance on Mane. Good luck

        How much value do you have in Aguero? If you're strategy is FH32 and WC34, I think it's fair to assume you won't be needing Aguero in GW31 or GW33 (as City will surely beat Swansea).

        So Aguero to Vardy and Son to Mane or Hazard? Then you cover the big hitters. Maybe also consider selling Pogba rather than Son as Son could play in GW33 whereas Pogba definitely isn't. Then again, I bet you've got some value tied up in Pogba so please factor that in also.

              I’m doing A but not taken any hits and it gets me to 11. Could go either way!

            The mane news has been really messed my plans. Got 1ft and 0.6m. Got 9 players but that includes Schindler and Hayden who i don’t want

            Fabianski
            TAA - Pereira - Digne - Schindler
            Salah - Rich - Hazard - Hayden
            King

            Lascelles Aguero Pogba Jiménez

            A: Lascelles + Aguero >> Luiz/Robbo + Wilson/Vardy/Arnie (-4)...will then bench Hayden. Means playing 5 atb which isn’t ideal

            B: Hayden + Aguero >> Mane + Wilson (-4)...my initial plan.

            C: Hayden + Aguero >> Fraser + Vardy/Arnie (-4).

            D: Schindler + Hayden + Aguero >> Robbo + Fraser + Arnie (-8)

              All speculation so far but it would put me off the TC. If you've got a good vice captain then might be OK as I doubt Mane gets a cameo if he doesn't start

            On FH would you keep Mane just in case? Or swap to another def or Firmino?

                  Well, you are nuts then. 😉

                  Alonso won't even play.

                  The purpose of the FH is to get maximum points in one, specific week. Not to find a way to spend all your budget.
