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.

    So is everyone happy enough that Fraser will play, given this?

    "Ryan [Fraser] took a fair few hits during the Huddersfield game. He missed the early part of training but he should be okay for this weekend."

          Maybe he had a bruise.... or a dentist appointment...or he was visiting a relative in hospital.
          There are so many reasons for someone have a day off work but still be capable of working two days later.

        - This video was uploaded on 14/03.
        - Liverpool players had a day off yesterday (14/03).
        - The previous day, Liverpool players were in Munich for UCL.

        Therefore, this video was either shot yesterday on their day off, or before the Munich fixture (which Mané took part in, anyway).

        As the video was uploaded yesterday, it does not explain Mané's absence in the training photos today. We don't know the reason - just the fact he was not present.

      I'm currently on Salah TC this week. GW36 against Huddersfield or another surprising mini DGW seem like the alternatives. The CL game right after GW36 could limit Salah's minutes in that game. Fulham away is a good fixture imo. Think I'll try the chip this week.

      Not necessarily. You may be dropping players who are blanking for players who will play once (effectively a -2) and maybe even for those who will play twice (net 0) before the player you are dropping plays again.

    A: Fraser + Wilson...already got king
    B: Fraser + Vardy/Wilson
    C: Wilson + Arnie/Vardy...but that means loosing 0.2m on Jimenez
    D: Maddison + Wilson/Arnie/Vardy
