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.

            Could pay off. Hazard could haul and rich could blank. Or it could go the other way, that’s the gamble!

          Seriously considering TC Salah against Fulham. I'm FH in GW32 and BB in GW35 so they're out the window. I had planned to TC when Liverpool are at home against Huddersfield and Salah had hopefully had picked up form. However I'm wavering as barring a shock exit you'd bank on Liverpool to reach the Champions League Semi Final given the draw they've been given.

          The Huddersfield match is scheduled for the 26th April and the 1st leg of the Semi Final is either going to be on 30 April-1 May and I'm worried Klopp might rotate for it. Would Klopp rotate when Liverpool are chasing down the title even if it is Huddersfield at Anfield and maybe there's enough space in between the games that he'd decide that no rotation is necessary?

          What do you think I should do? and outside Liverpool against Fulham or Huddersfield are there any other good potential TC candidates?
