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.

    Jiménez/Sterling/Puncheon > Wilson/Hazard/Fraser (-8) alright moves?

    1. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      yes! yes! yes! yes! yes! yes! yes! yes!

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Even for a -8? 😀

        1. Bruno Bruno!!
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          YES!!!!!!

          BUT FRASER IS A SMALL DOUBT

          1. TAT
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Just read Howe's comments; really difficult to make out how much a doubt Fraser is!

    2. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Fraser is a doubt

      1. TAT
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Hm… just the -4 then, and hope Puncheon plays?

        1. JT11fc
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Get fraser, even if limited minutes this gw he has gw33

          1. TAT
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            That's true of course!

  3. The Pep Revolution
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Mane or Vardy as captain?

    1. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Mane

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      would take Mane single points over Vardy double

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

      Mane likely the highest scoring player this GW IMO and in fantastic form

  4. Bruno Bruno!!
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Taken a hit to field 11. Am I good to go:

    Fabianski
    VanDijk - Chilwell - TAA - Ake
    Anderson - Salah - Hazard - Brooks
    Arnautovic - Wilson

    0FT 2.6m ITB

    1. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

  5. Not again Shirley
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Dubravka

    Robbo TAA Digne Diop

    Salah (C) Almirón

    Higuaín

    Not playing wanna b, Sterling, Pogba, puncheon, rash and Jimmy

    Thinking sterling jimmy and rash out for Barnes, Arnie and haz for minus 8

    Sound reasonable?

    Thanks

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Thanks for the advice everyone...really useful!

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

    Serious question.

    To Fanderson or not to Fanderson?

    Have Son, might as well take a hit to get someone in. Imagine Fandy starts. Everyone has discounted him, but its Huds.

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

      I wouldn’t get him in tbh. I did for FUL and it’s been awful, but stuck with him now.

      Maybe someone like Maddison or Tielemans idk

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

      ... but its Anderson 😛

      Keep an eye out for Ex West Ham on Twitter for some early team news.

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't be bringing him in. Sure it's Huddlesfiled, but his stats are not impressive at all. West Ham striker or nichts for me.

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

      Have you watched him lately?

  7. bring back diop
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Doherty to Ake for -4 worth it?
    currently have 10 starting

    1. Moore FPL
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Yes if u don't have too much value stored in him

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Not a fan of taking a hit for a defender. You lose 4 points and most likely get 2 back. -2 total

      1. La Vida Latte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        For 31and 33 it is probably 4 then. Minimal risk

    3. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      no way

      you need CS just to break even and I dont trust BOU

  8. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    Would you rather buy a Bournemouth or Chelsea defender?

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

      Chelski.

    2. TRIPOS TOPPER
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea

      Luiz or Daaaaave

  9. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 1 month ago

    After looking at the training photos myself, I am now certain that Mane won't play. He is nowhere to be seen in every single photo, and that can't just be a coincidence. https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/341916-photos-gallery-liverpool-training-melwood-fulham

    1. FPL Pillars
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      A day off training for being a boss perhaps?

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

      Sitting out of training to ensure fitness for Sunday is also possible. Am not being an ignorant owner, just saying let's not jump to conclusions.

    3. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Very interesting.

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

      Would you sell him?

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

        On Free Hit, but I still probably wouldn't. My bench is strong enough to cover, and if he does play, then it could mean trouble for me if I sell him.

    5. MTPockets
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Could just be light knock, but yeah he's also not in the full set (176):
        https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/search/2/image?autocorrect=none&events=775315976

      • Nailed Jesus
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Probably just rested for Sunday? Liverpool still need a big win for the title chase.

      • Jon Snow
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        I've very hesitant to bring him in, was going to take a hit for him and Hazard but think I'll just stick to Hazard.

        If i was an owner I'd say still a decent chance he makes an appearance

      • SHOOTER MCGINN
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        To be fair he was limping at the end of the Bayern match and it's only Fulham this weekend.

        1. Pukki Party
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I noticed same thing, was holding and pointing to his right ankle after game.

      • E25
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Doesn't mean he wont play

      • duffnasty
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        maybe klopp cooking up an injury excuse so he doesn't have to go off to play for senegal in the african cup qualies?

        1. Pieterke30
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Very possible

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

          Could be

    6. Pukki Party
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      TAA more secure of a start with Hendo out? Milner in midfield then?

      Better option 31/33?
      A) TAA, Maddison -4
      B) Maguire, Mane -8

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

      Team for 31 and 33:

      Fab
      TAA Digne VVD
      Salah Haz Felipe A Fraser
      Wilson Vardy

      Who for 11th? Price or money isn't a problem. Arni a punt but don't like 33 fixture, not keen on Chelsea defender and dunno whether triple Bourne is stupid. Hmmm

      1. Bruno Bruno!!
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ake for goal threat

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Do you plan to play Fabianski in GW33?

      3. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Ake or luiz

    8. Lionel Ronaldo
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks Admins for the quick action. We badly need a mute/silence/ignore function on here. Many-year-old-account users still behaving like idiots. Shame.

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

          What happened?

          1. Lionel Ronaldo
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Some brat who feels coerced to use outrageous language all the time.

              never mind just seen....

        2. FDMS All Starz
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Is this worth a -4?

          Kun —> Arnie

          1. FPL Pillars
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Not if you’ve a full 11

          2. meltedman
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Yes

        3. Scotty B
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          I have Higuain and Mane.

          Chances of them both starting on Sunday?

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

            0% from above reading.

          2. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Why wouldn't Mane? He's the only one scoring for them.

              1. TheDragon
                • 8 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                They also put a man on the moon.

                Virg broke this story ages ago

          3. FDMS All Starz
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            What’s wrong with higuain?

        4. Kasper the ghost keeper
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Sell Lovren to make room for another Liverpool attacker or hope he starts?

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Think I'd sell. He's taking up a Pool spot and will never be nailed.

        5. Pariße
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Alonso pretty safe to start right?

          1. FPL Pillars
            • 9 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            What did Emerson get a knock?

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

            In the Europa league.

          3. JIMMY TUGGINS
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Don't think so, hasn't even been in the squad for the last two when fully fit. Looks like he's lost his place to Emerson.

          4. meltedman
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            No he won't start.

        6. Franktomet
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          On a FH train:
          A,
          Fab
          Robertson - Luiz - Azpi (Rice, Stankovic)
          Salah - Mane - Hazard - Fraser (maddison)
          Vardy - Wilson - Perez

          B,
          Fab
          Robertson - Azpi - Rice (Daniels, Stanko)
          Salah - Mane - Haz - Fraser (Snodgrass)
          Vardy - Wilson - Higuain

          Any neww,on Higuain?

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

            Sort yourself out.

            So it's Luiz/Perez Vs Rice/Higuain?

            B for me

        7. Weasel Boy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Sell poggy for Haz even if i losee 0.5?

          1. YEAH PITCH!
            • 7 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            What I can't decide.

          2. FPL Pillars
            • 9 Years

            Do you want piggy for next game weeky?

            1. YEAH PITCH!
              • 7 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Yes lol

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

              Yes

        8. JohnCarewCarew
          • 8 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Mane (C) Arnie (VC) chosen through the widely recognised brain enhancing powers of Friday night alcohol. Not much could go wrong here then?

          1. TheDragon
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            At least have your VC as a certain starter

          2. SHOOTER MCGINN
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Would recommend at least 1 player that might actually start 🙂

            1. JohnCarewCarew
              • 8 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Some are shepherds, the rest are sheep. Played really conventionally for too long this season and having a ‘mare.

        9. Scotty B
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Jimi > Arnie for -4?

          1. Royal5
            • 14 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Will he start?

        10. SheBangsTheDrums
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          G2G (-4)?

          Boruc
          Robbo Azpi TAA Chilwell
          Salah (c) Hazard Fraser
          Vardy Wilson Rondon

          1. The Count of Monte Cristo
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Very godo.

        11. Puyol Pants Up
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Thoughts on my FH team?

          Fabianski
          TAA, Fredericks, Ake
          Salah, Mane, Hazard, Fraser
          Vardy, Wilson, Arnie

          Lossl, Maddison, Chilwell, Bardsley

          1. The Count of Monte Cristo
            • 13 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            All the big hitters are there - nice work.

        12. ChickenTikkaMoSalah
          • 10 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Has there ever been a time where a player hasn't been seen in training 2 days before and played?

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

            Yeah, sometimes a player is given the day off

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

          32 free hit - 3 City, 3 United, 3 Chelsea, 2 Wolves?

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

            wait to see fixtures... kinda pointless at the mo

          2. Wait for the fixtures, but doubtful you want 2 Wolves.

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

            Deal with this week first. It’s after the IB, fixtures not known either

          4. SHOOTER MCGINN
            • 10 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Just Jimi from wolves for me. Probably agree on the rest

        14. MMN
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Take a hit for Sterling > Hazard and bench Richa? (Lose 0.1 by selling - FH in 32)

          Boruc
          TAA, Luiz, Pereira
          Salah, Mané, Fraser, Richa
          Barnes, Vardy, Wilson

          Guaita, Sterling, Doh, Kiko

          1. TheDragon
            • 8 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Not for me

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

            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?

              United vs Huddersfield in GW 37 ?
              Chelsea's additional DGW ?
              Spurs vs Watford in GW 36 ?

                When is Chelsea's additional DGW likely to be and who against?
