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.

    is -12 too much for getting in BGW players in for blankers?

    1. Jay_
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah just do the first 2.

    2. lifes a pitch
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think so...-8 max for me...will only give me 8 starters

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on the expected return of players you are getting in
      I wouldn't do it for most defenders

    4. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      If they play in 33 and you're confident in backing them, go for it!

    5. Ruinenlust
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No. Every hit you take (-4) will be cancelled out by them playing in GW 31 and 33 anyway.

    6. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      -12 here to get 10, but theyre a good 10 and very helpful for 33. This could be the week I go out of LMS if this week doesnt bear fruit instantly...

    All the planning & transfer's for BGW 31 has taken, it must be a good one !!

    1. Jay_
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Last year people, including me (meticulously) planned for weeks and weeks, and all it boiled down to was having 3 Pool. Was all a waste. The only real difference was the poor souls who capped Mane or Firm over Salah. Season crushing. Deja vu I wonder.

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

        Shaqiri was great for a few weeks before the actually blank and then became a doubt before the deadline only to blank 😆

        As for Walcott... BGWs are special.

        1. Amey
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          It all came down to Salah / No salah ©.
          I scored 106 😀

        2. Jay_
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Forgot about Shaq. Had him from the start of his mad little run. Good times 🙂

      2. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Ha ha
        I'd take half of that monster score from Salah tbh.
        Mane possible absence is annoying though. Hopefully he recovers in time.
        I'm actually pretty confident ahead of this gw.

      3. DeathoftheParty
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yep... Ruined me that week.

    2. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Waking up to Lascelles out, Fraser flagged and Mane doubt doesnt fill me with confidence!

      1. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Morning buddy 🙂
        Lascells is out for sure
        Fraser is on customary yellow flag so no need to worry 😉
        Mane not pictured in training, but they have one more training session so hopefully he'll be fine

        1. jia you
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Yup, if Mane is rested my team is looking a bit light all of a sudden!

          1. Amey
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Hard luck
            With IB coming up I don't see any need to rest him if not Injured.
            Confusing

            • Has Moderation Rights
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            He won't be...

            1. IRBOX âš½
              • 9 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              Pure speculation, more evidence to the contrary

  3. boroie
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Which two?

    A - Maddison & Brooks
    B - H. Barnes & Fraser

    1. Rsforstar
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      b

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      B

  4. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    fraser is flagged yet everyones bringing him in?? is he a certain starter? considering him and daniels but then it hit me neither of them are guaranteed to play

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Think Howe said he'll be fine. Also, Fraser has a history of going big with a yellow flag over him near an international break.

    2. SweeSwee
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Presser said he was fine

    3. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      He's @ his best when flagged 😉

  5. :
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Mane essential or fools gold?

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

      Essentially fools gold.

    2. Sylas
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Scored 10 goals in his last 10 games. Not sure what kind of advice you're looking for.

    3. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      A foolish essential?

  6. Ruinenlust
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Mane not playing ?

    1. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Didn't train. Will be rested this weekend

      1. Under my Cucurella
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Source?

        1. Jambot
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          It’s speculation based on photos but it’s a worry link to an article

          https://metro.co.uk/2019/03/15/sadio-mane-misses-training-liverpools-clash-fulham-8911717/

    2. :
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Probably not. Hobbled off whimpering and clutching his ankle midweek.

      1. Ruinenlust
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Good for Salah (C) then right? Mane never passes the ball to Salah

  7. Jay_
    7 years, 4 months ago

    12.5 hours until FH active.

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

      Might wait till City game is finished, juuuuuust in case.

      1. Jay_
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Good point. Will defo do that. Might end up WC instead.

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

          Yeah same boat.

      2. Amey
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        This
        IF city lose anyhow I'd play WC instead of FH & load up on City, United, Wolves

      3. Wakanda
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        sorry , dont get it.
        Man city match will affect which gameweek ?

  8. jia you
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Damn you Lascelles for forcing me into a -8 but welcome Mr. Diop! LIV and WHU defensive double could be gold or a disaster, lets see, GL all.

    1. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Poor call

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        dont have WC so wanted to get a cheapie in who will become bench fodder after the blanks. And it is HUD so...

    2. Birds of Prey
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Let's hope that works. I'm on the WH triple. Fab Diop Rice.

      1. jia you
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        if I was on FH I would do the same mate, GL!

  9. yer old da
    • 16 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    8 point hit for me and I now even have the luxury of a sub:

    Fabianski
    Robbo, Luiz, TAA, Pereira
    Salah(c), Hazard, Fraser
    Higuain, Vardy, Wilson(vc)

    Sub: Hayden

    Thoughts?

    1. boroie
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Unreal work getting that team for only -8. That’s probably what I’ll end up with after using my FH if we get more details on Mane’s injury tomorrow!

    2. Jay_
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Probably same for me but I’ll have Anderson to your Perreira. GL

  10. KGFC
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Price rise for both Vardy and Wilson!

  11. SweeSwee
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Anyone do the old -4 to bring mane in and -4 to take him straight back out?

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      lol why would anybody do that, he could still play!

  12. Powerplay
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    is Fraser a definite starter/

    1. jia you
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      yellow flag says no but hopefully he'll be fine

    2. G-Whizz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Yes...

  13. boroie
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A - Perreira (bur)
    B - Rice (HUD)

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

      Play? Rice.

      Bring in? Pereria, with 33 in mind.

  14. Scheister
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Free Hit active.
    Any suggestions, or gtg?

    Fab
    Luiz TAA Rice
    Salah Mane Hazard Fraser
    Higuain Vardy Wilson

    Hamer Ogbonna Bacuna Stanko

    1. Ravager
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'm on that bar Pereira instead of Rice and Barnes for Higuain. Looks good but unsure if I wanna double on WHU defence

      1. Scheister
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Ya I’d normally agree, but they’ve best odds at a CS this weekend

    2. Jay_
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Ogbonna probably gonna be dropped for Balbuena. So worth keeping an eye on that

  15. davies
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    A) Bednarek > Chilwell (-4)

    B) Field 10 this week & get Kolasinac in 33 (-4)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Don't really understand B.

      1. davies
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Bednarek > Kolasinac (-4) in 33 instead of Chilwell this week

  16. Under my Cucurella
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Is there potential for another DGW after 35? When are people using their TC if they're FH32 WC34 BB35

    1. zizoo10
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      true, just thought of that aswell. have my TC with no plans

    2. Amey
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Brighton might get one extra dgw if they get into SF of FA cup

      1. Under my Cucurella
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Hmm, not convinced by any Brighton assets even over 2 games. Considering sticking it on Salah for tomorrow maybe

    3. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I think there's some possibility that Brighton have a DGW in 37 but who I'd want to own and let alone TC is another question. For me it's either Salah this GW (against the worst defence in the league) or Kane/Pogba/Sterling in GW 38.

      1. Under my Cucurella
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah it's a tough one! Salah's form hasn't been of it's usual standard though. I did have the captaincy on Mane but now I hear he might not start

    4. Jay_
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Just Brighton, I think. Vs Cardiff in 36 with (NEW) or Cardiff in 37 with (ars)

  17. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    -12 (Have 2FTS) to field 10, FH next week?

    Shaw/Pogba/Jimenez/Pereyra/Bennett > Luiz/Fraser/Wilson/Maddison/5.9 defender?

    1. Jay_
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Keep Pererya, he may well play 33 and have Fulham at home. Hope Palace win later.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I've done -8 probably -12 Lascelles>Luiz for 10. Not selling Pogba or Jimenez as want straight back and would cost 1.1m

      1. zizoo10
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        both blank in 33 tho

        1. Kiwivillan
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          I'm using FH32 I've got 9-10 that play 33.

    3. Naboo
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Maddison to Banres or Teilemans and you can get Azpi?

      1. zizoo10
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        thinking of rudiger with luiz, hes 5.9 on the dot

  18. Awesomeness
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    will any games be moved to or from game week 34? Thanks

    1. Jay_
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nope. 33 games will move to 32/35 and the other teams that blank this week will move to 32/35

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Very unlikely.

  19. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Which looks a better group to bring in? Was set on the 1s group but there are slight doubts with all of them.

    1. Mane/ Fraser/ Higuain.
    2. Hazard/Arnie/VVD.

  20. tafrère
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Have price changes occured yet ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Check hot topics.

  21. Scratch
    • 17 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    5-3-2 for a (-4) let's go!

    Fabianski
    TAA, Robertson, Luiz, Pereira, Taylor
    Fraser, Salah, Hazard
    Wilson, Vardy

    Still tempted to upgrade Hojbjerg and bench Taylor but I'll probably leave it

  22. Waltomade
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Mane injured??

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Missed training. 2 days to be ready.

  23. The Red Devil
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Got all chips, TC Salah today? Can't see too many options ahead, ideally would put it on a city player

  24. zizoo10
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    have luiz/robbo

    best 5.9 def? thinking rudiger? chelsea look good for 31/33

    1. Jay_
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Good shout. If that leaves you 4 defs for 33 it’s probably a good thing as Christ might get 33 but at least you’ll have 1 of the CBs

      1. zizoo10
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        didnt think of that christensen. thats a bit of a spanner, i really want a nailed 33 player.

        1. Jay_
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Maguire or Ake then

  25. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Boruc
    Pereira VVD Luiz
    Salah Maddison Richarlison Mane Anderson
    Higuain Rondon

    DDG Jimi Doherty Bednarek

    0.3 ITB. Anything worth a hit?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Depends on who you are willing to sell.

      1. Scotty B
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        A non playing player

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Given no WC, nah.

          1. Scotty B
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            What's no WC got to do with it?

            1. TorresMagic™
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 17 Years
              7 years, 4 months ago

              You'll be stuck with them.

              1. Scotty B
                • 14 Years
                7 years, 4 months ago

                Wilson bad to be stuck with?

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      No, solid

  26. Jay_
    7 years, 4 months ago

    For FH’ers with Rice. Keep an eye out for leaked team. If Balbuena starts, I’d take him over Rice all day long.

    1. tucaoneo
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I will be monitoring if Anderson starts.

    2. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Rice hit post last game and scored game before

  27. Ravager
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Keep Pereira or go for a double up on WHU defence?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Keep

      1. Ravager
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Cheers

  28. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Fabianski.
    Pereira, AWB, TAA.
    Pogba, Salah, Felipe, Son.
    Vardy, Wilson, Rashford.
    Hamer, Doherty, Bednarek, Camarasa.
    1ft, 5.3m. 7 players atm.

    Thinking one of these.. Which would you choose? 3 seems the safest atm.

    1. Camarasa/ Son/Rash -> Fraser/ Mane/Arnie (3.1m). -8
    2. Camarasa/ Son/Rash -> Fraser/ Mane/Higuain (0.2m). -8
    3. Doherty/ Son/Rash-> VVD/Hazard/Arnie (or Higuain/Barnes) (2.2m). -8

  29. Sun Jihai

    My ML rival is using FH this week and will very likely TC Sterling/Kun next GW
    He has 3x Crystal Palace players and so I really need them to blank in 33!
    He would have 5 players if they do (or 7 after 2 FTs) but 8 (or 10 after 2 FTs) if they don't.
    Obviously now Watford will beat Palace, the Palace/Newcastle GW33 game will go ahead and Mili will get 2 penalties!

    1. Kiwivillan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      B

  30. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Salah a safer captain choice probably eh?
