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.

    Note: Smith could start, with Clyne still being involved. (Smith can play on either side).
    
    I'd sy Clyne is not guaranteed to start both, but has more than a decent chance.

      Fair play, seems your clear in your mind of who your doing it with. If you have to ask the question between 2 candidates, it’s not a good position to be in. Gw38 is ripe for it personally but each to their own, bound to be better than Kane but wouldn’t use that as the yardstick. Good luck.

What about Rondon or Barnes (-4)?

(FH32, WC34, so it’s just for 31&33)

Should I keep Newcastle’s main man or ship for the Barnes train?

      They're probably going to play BHA in DGW 32. No extra match to blank (and then double) at this point because they are out of the FA Cup.

How many hits did you take and how many players do you have for GW 31?

Me: -4 this GW but I think I used 4 or 8pts additional few GWs ago on the road of bulding the team.
11 players on the board hopefully.
