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.

    Hypothetically, would you prefer Son or Pogba for the rest of the season?

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Son

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        am leaning that way. return to WHL, should be knocked out of CL next round

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Pogba.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        hmmm, feel like his purple patch could be over.

    3. fedolefan
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Can't really call and doesn't really matter to be honest. They'll score similarly.

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        echoes my thoughts. Cheers all

  2. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Head says King
    Heart says Ake
    FFS says Maddison

    Not got long to make my decision

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not Ake. Hard to see a CS in any of Bou's two blanks

    2. Garlana
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      If you go with your own decision then you can only blame yourself if it goes wrong...hope that helps 🙂

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hahaha v true.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Make your own decision, heart or head.

      Feels better if it comes off 🙂

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Trueee, King, Wilson, Fraser feels too much but idk

    4. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      go King

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A King / Wilson double up sounds pretty good to me e.g. King on pens

  3. Atwood
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Just a quick poll. What kind of hits has everyone taken?

    -4 to field 10 here.

    1. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Same as you

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      -4 to get 11.

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      will be -4 to field XI

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Will be a -4 to get 11 if Palace are knocked out at 1.59pm 😀

    5. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      progressively taken a couple of -4's over the past few weeks

    6. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      0 so far to field 11. (yet to make that transfer though) Possibly a -4 to have a cover in case someone looks likely to miss out.

    7. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      -12, 2 frees consumed...

    8. moment
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      -8 for 11

  4. Red Star Toro
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Reposting, but I want to go sleep and be done with it, so any help appreciated 😀
    Boly, Sterling, Kun, Jimenez -> Azpilcueta, Hazard, Vardy, Wilson for -8, allowing me to field 11 players this week.
    FH32
    Chelsea, Leicester and Bou play GW33
    WC34

    makes sense, g2g?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep, makes sense.

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Sleep and do it tomorrow, not a nice feeling waking up already with two hits

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yup

    4. tm370
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      looks great

    5. Red Star Toro
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      cheers lads

  5. pjomara
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Worth getting a yellow flagged Higuain or a safer nailed on Rondon?
    Have Vardy and 3 Bou already.

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      higuain more likely to play this week than rondon is in 33 so if you're fh32 it's a simple decision

      1. pjomara
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Good point. Also think Higuain s likely points x .75 is higher than Rondon x 1.0

        1. EMBOLOFAN
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          definitely

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      It's illness from Wednesday, Sunday will be fit

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        How do you know?

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      from what I gather Higuaín should be g2g. he's obviously the better choice at face value

  6. tm370
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Guys, which looks best? I only have 8 playing currently and this includes both Snoddy and Anderson... My free involves swapping Boruc for Hamer and I will FH next week
    A) Bennett and Aguero - Van Djik and Wilson (money in bank for WH mid upgrade in 33) (-8)
    B) Bennett and Aguero - Firmino and Luiz (-8)
    C) Bennett, Aguero and Snodgrass - Rice, Mane, and Wilson (-12_

    1. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      keeper the least important transfer to make, so a shame you used your FT on it. A is good though presuming you have salah and mane

      1. sully29
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Once he's done he can pretend the keeper transfer was for the -4 instead. If he doesn't have any other keeper for 31&33 then it justifies itself.

    2. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. tm370
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks all - I think keeper is very important - Leno is my one other, and I fancy Boruc for 33 as well.

  7. davies
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Do Arsenal play in 33?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Everton away.

      1. davies
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Confirmed?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yep.

  8. Richd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Just did wilson and hazard in for Son and Aguero with my 2 FT

    Get the price rises maybe and in the morning consider my third pool asset and any midfielder I can dream of

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Like itt

    2. Peter Ouch
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Good job mate, had to be done

    3. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Can you get Bobby Firmino ??
      He's criminally overlooked here

      1. Richd
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah I’m considering Jiminez to Firmino but gonna wait until tomorrow

        Would be Barnes Wilson Firm

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I'd definitely do that
          GL Flapjack 🙂

    4. Rojo's Modern Life

      Very cool thanks

  9. Tsparkes10
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Thoughts?

    Fab
    TAA Digne VVD
    Salah Haz Felipe A Fraser
    King Wilson Vardy

    Too Bournemouth heavy? Barnes or Maddison for Kings. Or high risk high reward

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not much you can do now.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not done the King transfer yet. Just wondering how it looks as an 11

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Very high Bou contingent, could pay off massively.

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Yup. Barnes, Maddison, Ake other options over King but idk. Got a feeling

    3. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Of you haven't done the transfer I'd get Barnes in for King

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Honestly tempting.

    4. Dank Squid
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Home game for Bournemouth, Schär and Lascelles missing - hopefully high reward.

    5. sajid88
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      U need Mane

  10. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Best defender to own this week other than Liverpool assets?

    1. sully29
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A WHM defender.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Rice? Will be for -8. More inclined to do it considering I have Mane.

      2. F_Ivanovic
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Got to look at 33 too though. WH is good for this week but garbage for 33 so you need to make sure you can bench them that week.

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yes will replace for GW33 and Wildcard GW34

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fredericks if he gets the nod

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Very interesting...how likely though?

        1. F4L
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          probably around 60/40 in his favour. Rice obviously the safer option

          1. Athletic Nasherbo
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Nice one thanks mate

  11. michudagawd
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Good to go with this lot?

    Fabianski
    Schindler Robertson
    Salah (TC) Almiron Puncheon Hazard
    Vardy Wilson Higuain

    Hamer - Pogba Doherty Wan-B Bednarek

    1. F4L
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      yep and good luck with the triple captain.
      no sure you'll need it however

      1. F4L
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        *not

      2. michudagawd

        Thanks man.

  12. Amey
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Morning guys,
    I have 11 playing with Mane in the team (on -4 atm)

    Would you take another hit on a defender to cover possible absence of Mane or any other player ??

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Nooooo!

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you 🙂

    2. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Got a similar question below - any weak links in your team? I have Digne playing which makes a hit somewhat tempting as I can afford to bench him then.

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Fabs
        Robbo, Pereira, Clyne
        Salah Mane Hazard Fraser
        Vardy Higuain Barnes
        0.2 itb
        Doherty,awb,jota

        1. F_Ivanovic
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Looks good. I would save; not like anyone you can bring in that is that worthwhile and he can definitely still play as nothing is confirmed.

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            He should at least get some minutes as i don't have any bench.
            Thank you mate 🙂

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Read this 'Mane might miss' thing on the last few pages.
      Any substance/ quotes/ info on this or just one of those things thats only on these pages?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Not seen in training

        1. Joggers Nipple

          Wow, thanks

      2. Rainer

        Paranoia based on his seeming non-appearance in photos from the LFC training ground

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      and no, dont take the hit

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thank you mate

  13. F_Ivanovic
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Currently have 10... I plan to get Fraser in for free despite the slight doubt to make 11.

    Do I take a -4 to get in a 5th midfielder in case Mane or Fraser are out (and also means I can bench Digne then)? Seems worthwhile given everyone else is taking hits. And who for?

    A) Siggurdson
    B) Lanzini
    C) Anderson?!
    D) Barnes
    E) Maddison
    F) Almiron
    G) No hit

    Kinda leaning towards C as crazy as that sounds just because most of my rivals have him.

    GTG? 0 FT 1.5 ITB

    Boruc
    Robertson Pereira Digne
    Salah Hazard Mane Fraser Barnes
    Higuain Arnie

    Subs: Hamer Peltier Jimenez Doherty

    Or should I do Digne -> Luiz/Azpi -4?

  16. Harvey Specter
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Felipe Anderson or Fraser? Already have Wilson

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fraser

    2. F4L
      • 11 Years

      Fraser

    3. Harvey Specter

      cheers

    4. FC Hakkebøf

      Fraser

    5. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fraser for sure. Fraser-Wilson is like the most common goal+assist combo in the league I think.
      It's been 5+ weeks since Felipe even had a shot on target.

    6. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fraser...

    7. Gianluca Busio's Hair …
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      just to be contrarian....Not Anderson.

  17. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Jimi > Wilson or more for -4?

    Fab

    Robbo Rice Schindler

    Salah Mane Brooks Billing

    Higuain Vardy Jimi

    Subs: Guaita, Lascelles Pogba Doherty

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Jimi to Wilson and possibly lascelles to Ake incase no Mane. Would start Ake over Schindler

      1. CrouchDown

        Cheers mate. Why no Mane? Also is Lascelles likely to play in 33?

      Lost 1.2m SV on my 2 transfers, Fraser and Wilson better be worth it.

        Yep
        Most annoying part is popular player's like Pogba not even dropped twice before deadline & now we have a dgw.

      ANyone else lining up their team with blankers in first 11 so that they are all replaced from the bench!

        Thought my ML Rival Had benched Rash, Higuain and Mane last week... Quickly realised he'd played his BB. I prefer seeing them in the 11 though tbh

          I probably will but every time I do that, all I get is 1 and 2 pointers.

          no because I like being able to check my live rank

        • F_Ivanovic
          • 10 Years

          Not me... I like to see my points as and when I get them. Too impatient to be waiting till auto subs kick in

        I have Lascelles & 10 players with a game this GW.

        Do i
        A. Lascelles to playing defender -4
        B. Jimi to Wilson (have .7 tied up in Jimi)

        1. Jay_
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Was in almost same position. Went B. Gotta go for the points

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Points can also be scored in gw34-38

                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  Right but what’s that got to do with scoring points now? Would you rather a red arrow in 31 and 33 for the sake of having to find an alternative player or 2 in a few gameweeks time?

            2. FC Hakkebøf
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              You most likely want Jimi back on a wc. So not Jimi

              are you free hitting 32? id go B if so

              1. Trovsmash
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Yeah FH 32

            4. F_Ivanovic

            is Luiz's resting against Fulham just likely to be a one off? could afford Azpi or even Alonso alternatively

            1. FC Hakkebøf
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Dont go with Alonso! Emersons to loose imo

            2. Tsparkes10
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Azpi or Luiz good imo

              Slavia Prague away 3 days after West Ham worries me with Luiz.

                No Alonso regardless 🙁

              No, would need major news on Mane and community champion to agree.

          • CliveTilds

            Does Agüero play Cardiff in GW33 or is it moved to GW22?

            1. Tsparkes10
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              If city beat Swansea tomz its in 32

              33 if City lose to Swansea, otherwise 32.

            Im really starting to think about Salah TC now. No Mane can also give him a better chance of a haul...
            suggestions mates?

            I only have 6 players available without taking a hit....All chips available....

            A)Would you rather take a couple of -4
            B)Play free hit

            1. Athletic Nasherbo
              • 9 Years

              Take a -8

            On a free hit... GTG?

            Fabianski
            Luiz TAA Rice
            Salah(C) Mane(VC) Hazard Maddison
            Vardy Wilson Arnautovic

            Boruc; Brooks, Chilwell, Taylor

            1. Amey
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              If we don't get anything more on Mane I'd be tempted to get in Bobby especially on FH

          • boroie
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Start 1:

            A) Chilwell (bur)
            B) Rice (HUD)

            1. F4L

            Which combo for gw31/33:

            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.

            What's up with mane? Been out of the loop and just seen him mentioned as a doubt

              Missing from training photos. No word from team or Klopp on status. Left CL game w ankle issue apparently. No idea how serious, or not, this story is.
