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.

    Any chance it could only be Man Utd & Wolves with a DGW32?

    1. Differential C (Mark)
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Nah, no chance its just those two.

      1. Differential C (Mark)
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Unless, of course, the PL sides all get KO'ed off the cup.

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

          Only 2 can.

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

          Impossible Watford vs Palace

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

      No chance.

  2. Differential C (Mark)

    Hoping for a Solanke cameo to field 10!

    Fabianski
    Robertson VanDijk ***
    Salah Hazard McNeil Brooks
    Higuain Vardy Solanke

    Captaincy between Salah or Vardy, switching between the two!

    Good luck, everyone!

    1. Steve Stiffler
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Out of them probably Vardy

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

      Vardy 2 goals last 6 vs Burnley

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

      how is that even a consideration ?

  3. Steve Stiffler
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Who to captain?

    Hazard (Everton away)
    Salah (Burnley away)
    Vardy (Fulham away)

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      What?

    2. Rojo's Modern Life
      • 15 Years

      Think you got your fixtures wrong buddy

  4. mrtapio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Only got two decisions left on my FH team:

    Robertson or TAA?

    Rice or Hayden first on the bench?

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

      RR

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

      Rice goal 2 games ago and hit that post last week at home to Huddersfield on your bench. Lol

      1. mrtapio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Team to good to start Rice

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

          West Ham bookies favourite for CS

          1. mrtapio
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            Thats why I have Fabianski

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

      I would start rice

      1. mrtapio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Team to good to start Rice

    4. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      start rice

      1. mrtapio
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Bench one:
        A: Fraser
        B: Hazard
        C: Arnautovic
        D: Vardy
        E: Rice

        1. kitier katba
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 15 Years

          I hate you...

        2. Party time
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Ha! very strong team MrTapio.

          The only option you've is to bench yourself 😉

  5. Ross From Friends
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    FPL twitter account just posted a video of Perez, Sterling, Mane and Vardy and the caption reads : 3 of these 4 players are set to be in action this weekend.

    Surely this whole Mane scare is just rumour?

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

      Well official FPL flagging is usually well behind the times

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      FPL Twitter knows nothing more than us

      1. Ross From Friends
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I took two hits for him, Fraser and Wilson 🙁

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

        Easy for you to say, Sherlock.

      3. Ross From Friends
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        Seems like they did 😉

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

      sterling has no fpl game this weekend

  6. Kub3
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    This Mané news about missing training may have just made it easier for me to captain Salah. Was probably going to do Mané before that.

  7. jaguar shark
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Ugh! What’s the deal with Mane

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

      Scroll up

    2. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Damn I knew it! He hasn’t missed a game and they’ll have to be all carefully managed to last till May. Was seriously considering hazard over Mané but went against my gut. Sorry needed to whine a bit...

  8. Nas
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Take a -4 for a goalie or play 10? Goalie will be fab if I take the hit

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

      Do you have a likely GW33 keeper?

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

        I have Guaita in the bench, so maybe?

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

          See how Watford do vs Palace.

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

    Which is the best defender to bring in this GW.. Current playing mid. I got the funds.
    Salah mane brooks

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

      Rice vs Hudd

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

      Midfielder ** sorry

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

      I went for hazard to cover my bases. More a rank protection move than an aggressive one in truth. If not for the yellow flag I would have gone fraser

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

        Same

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

    Fraser in for Barnes on a (-4)?

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

      Huh? Selling Leicester Barnes for a hit???

      1. Ross From Friends
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        I think he means Ashley Barnes

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

          Harvey

          1. Ross From Friends
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 4 months ago

            well thats madness then

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

            No to either.

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

              cheers all!

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

        Yea I mean the other option is Anderson which makes a bit more sense

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

          thats insane. -4 for a doubtful player.
          how confident are you on fraser getting a min of 6 points ?

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

      Just play players that play. Weird

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

      lol

  11. Edwardio
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Hi folks..
    Sane or Vardy ?

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

      Ummmm

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

      Errrrr

    3. Ross From Friends
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Sane 100%

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

      Sane. He was brilliant against Schalke 04.

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

      Vardy 1st sub if Sane doesn't play

    6. Ross From Friends
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I'd even triple captain Sane this gameweek against a weak swansea defense

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

      With Mendy out Sane is the City asset to own!

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

        They said the same before i TC Sane in gw 25
        😀

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

          😉

    8. Dank Squid
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      InSané

    9. Edwardio
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      thanks for the replies folks....Sane is the obvious choice..he got FA cup whereas Vardy has a prem game...im Sun DT tho my info comes from here

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

        Probably needed to mention that.
        Sane if you think he starts.

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

          nailed on, yeah was meant to say Sun DT

    TM - what moves ya thinkin of / done this week fella?

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

      Still one or 2 more to do in the morning probably.

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

        Big hits being made? Or FH?

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

              Cheers, likewise.
              Looking forward to a nice free hit break.

                Yes sir. Will be nice for sure. Lets hope Sadio isn’t cruel on Sunday!

                Good luck mate 🙂

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

      ... a good Magician and all that...

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

        😆

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

    and that is seriously annoying if Mane doesn’t play. Could’ve gone for Hazard instead... hope he’s fine

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

      I hope he gets some minutes to avoid bench points for other 😛
      I don't have any cover

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

        Yeah no cover here either. Did Jimenez to Wilson for free but took a -8 for Camarasa Sterling to Mane Fraser in order to field 10....

        Please play this wkend sadio

  14. Perthite
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Worth taking a hit to get 11 playing?

    Fabianski (Foster)
    Digne Robertson Pereira
    Salah Anderson Hazard Brooks
    Firmino Wilson
    (Pogba Jiminez Doherty Bednarak)
    0.9m 0FT

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

      Yes

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

      No imo

      1. Perthite
        • 15 Years
        7 years, 4 months ago

        My instinct is to go with the 10.

    3. Perthite
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Not work losing Pogba or Doherty due to buying them at cheap price & Jiminez who I'd have to get back in.

      So Bednarak in for a 4.8m only real option for 11 in this GW.

  15. noahzark22
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Is a -4 to transfer out Lacelles worth it? I'd have 10 playing if I don't transfer

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

      I probably will for Luiz as consider it split between 31/33

    2. noahzark22
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      I supose I could do Kamara out for a forward

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

      I’d probably just leave it. Depends on the 10, but that’s what I have if (hopefully) all mine play. Should be enough

  16. steven8991
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Tough question: pick 2 from 3

    A. Barnes
    B. Rondon
    C. Wilson

    1. GoonSquad
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Rondon and Wislon

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

      Definitely C, probably B - unless they don’t get a GW33 fixture, in which case CA

  17. GoonSquad
    • 15 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    What kind of hit are most taking and how many does that allow you to field? Or is everyone using free hit chip?

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

      Taken a -8 for Camarasa Jimenez Sterling to Fraser Wilson Mane, giving me hopefully 10 starters.

      Unless Mane decides to be a big ol troll

  18. FlockofSeagulls
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Hi you lovely filthy animals. 😉

    I'm looking at playing just 8 players this gw and saving a transfer so I have 2 for next gw.

    Do you think this is too risky and I should have more playing this gw?

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

      Depends on who you buy/sell and chip plan.

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

      I'd save to get more DGW'ers in 32, if not using FH.

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

        Unless its Chelsea assets.

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

      Son to Haz if you have the £, otherwise maybe just go with the 8.

      However, when do you plan to FH if not this or next week???

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

        There's 3 doubles left right?

    4. Joggers Nipple
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Mate, i just checked your team! Taken a points hit around 24 times and you are 13k rank!!
      Love it, keep going with what you are doing!!!!

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

        Yeah I don't mind a cheeky points hit, lol. Backfired last gw though. Lost top spot in my cash League. 😆

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

      Well it's only really a 2 point it if you assume whoever you're getting gets at least 2 points...

      Chelsea could have a DGW32, could be a shout

  19. the_arrows
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 4 months ago

    Speroni, Sterling, Rash, Llorente to?

    A. Fabs, Wilson, Haz, Rondon,
    B. Fabs, Wilson, Haz, Barnes (Burnley)
    C. Fabs, Wilson, Fraser, Vardy

    Got 2FT, so this will be for a -8 to field 11 players and also for GW33 since I will be FH in GW32.

    Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks!

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      c

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

        Looks like the most sensible option if Fraser is fit. Thanks!

        1. Joggers Nipple
          • 17 Years
          7 years, 4 months ago

          Get Brooks if unsure?

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

      Fabs has Chelsea in 33. Boruc may be better unless you have no Bournemouth spot left.
      (It is true that Fabs got 11 pts against Chelsea in the reverse fixture. I know that because I benched him.)

      1. the_arrows

        I was thinking bank the clean sheet now against Huds and any save points in GW33 will be a bonus. And I didn't wanna triple up on Bournemouth.

    Gtg? exactly 11 without hits. Any suggestions?
    Thinking higuain-> vardy(-4)

    Schmeichel
    Robbo Taa diop clyne
    Hazard(c) mane maddy
    Higuain King(vc) rondon

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe a hit for a sub defender to a playing one? Just with Mane (supposedly?) a doubt and Higuain flagged.

      Good week to avoid a hit if you have 11

    I honestly have no idea who I'm going to captain now with this Mane situation! Undecided between:
    A. Hazard
    B. Fraser
    C. Robertson
    D. Vardy
    E. DCL (incredibly punty I know)

    B, C & D would become my 16th captain of the season (a fun side game I'm playing).

    1. Joggers Nipple
      • 17 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      From list prob Hazard.
      No Wilson? I keep looking at him in my team and something is tempting me there.

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

        No forward line is Vardy/Rondon/DCL, Wilson looks good alright!

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

      Not E 😀

      Mane (C) Hazard (VC)

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

        Yup, your call looks the sensible approach. Cheers.

        Also works and pray for no Mane 1 point cameo!

    4. No Salah
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 4 months ago

      C will outscore others in the list hopefully 🙂

    Hey guys....on a -4 already with this:

    Boruc
    Robertson TAA Pereira
    Salah Hazard Maddison Fraser
    Higuain Wilson

    Patricio Doherty AWB Pogba Jiménez

    Worth another hit for

    AWB to Luiz?

    My mini league rival has made 1 transfer and has only 6 player for this week. If you are playing free hit does it show 1 transfer and freeze the team value?

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

      Free Hit 0 transfers

        7 years, 4 months ago

        what happens if you make 1 transfer and then decide to free hit? Does it refgister as 1 transfer and also does the team value freeze when you free hit. Just trying to figyre out th emoves of my mini league rival. Crucial part of the season this.

    A. Play Digne (CHE) or
    B. Get Vardy/Wilson -4

    Would you prefer A or B?

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

      umm, tricky... Wilson can do well

  26. Sz21

    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.

    All for -8.
    1. Cam/Son/Rash -> Fras/ Mane/Arnie.
    2. Cam/ Son/Rash -> Fras/ Mane/Hig.
    3. Doherty/ Son/Rash-> VVD/Haz/Arnie (or Hig/Barnes).

    1. Pooodle
      • 17 Years

      3 but will Arnie start? He’s been a bit in and out
