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.

    Doherty to Azpil (-4)? 10 players currently

    1. Lionel Ronaldo
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Would you not want Doherty for his run of GWs 34-37 ?

        1. Big Hands Barry
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Can always wildcard back for 0.5 loss

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

        nah

        you are gambling on Azpi CS vs Everton. Probably 50/50 at best

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

      Alexander Arnold or Robertson?

      1. The Pesci challenge
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        Robbo

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

        Robbo

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

        TAA. Set piece king in the making.

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

        Robbo is better, can you use the extra funds from TAA?

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

          Can bring in Arnautovic for Ashley Barnes

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

            think I prefer Barnes

            Arnie may not even start and west Ham look so awful

    3. Hobolicious
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Which combo would you rather have?

      A) Wilson/Maddison (3-5-2)
      B) Vardy/Azpi (4-4-2)

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

        A

    4. melvinmbabazi
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Go double Bounemouth attack with Wilson and King?

      Yes or No

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

        There’s no reason not too. It could be awesome. It’s a punt of course

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

          Cheers

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

        Only one of them

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

        Owner of both, join the gang.

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

      I feel Mane is now a don’t buy, don’t sell. However...

      It’s hard to use that budget now. Too much.

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

        Been off all day. Is he an injury risk? He was my differential captain 🙁

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

          He’s not trained according to over 100 photos we’ve looked at.

          Klopp mentioned nothing

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

            FFS. Typical of the season for me. He was going to be my different captain pick. Now everyone will just get Salah. Just can't catch a break this year. See you all in August 😀

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

              Keep an eye out tomorrow. We might get more info.

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

                Cheers. All I know is last time I ignored training photo evidence it was Auba and he was my captain. Very wary of doing that again!

      2. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 1 month ago

        How about Fraser?
        Still ok to buy him?

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

          Any risk for a blank of all weeks seems too much.

          I’d even say Brooks has risk

          Tielemans or Harvey Barnes looking more juicy

          1. The 12th Man
            • 12 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            My intended transfers were Jota,Aguero > Fraser,Vardy.

            Is Barnes,Wilson or Barnes,Vardy better?

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

              Wilson maybe. It’s real tough tho

              It’s why I wanted both so can’t really consider Firmino

              1. The 12th Man
                • 12 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Yeh I’m already tripled on Pool and have King and Ash Barnes as my other 2 strikers.
                Might go Barnes And Wilson.

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

        I was thinking this, my planned moves were always Sterling and Shaw > Mane and Luiz/Ake, not sure what to do now.

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

          Yeah it’s real tough. Do you have hazard ?

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

            Fab
            TAA Pereira Shaw (Doherty Bednarek)
            Salah Hazard Brooks Sterling (Pogba)
            Vardy King Barnes

            If we get any further Mane news, I could go VVD and then another midrange mid like Maddison.

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

        It’s a definite don’t sell and don’t buy tonight (which is annoying as he is rising tonight). Hopefully we will get more info tomorrow

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

          Still might not rise, that's what I'm hoping anyway

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

            97.6 on a FPLstats was at 85 90 mins ago so not looking good

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

              Oh dammit, I'd seen 85 and hadn't refreshed, that's annoying.

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

          Fingers crossed. I’m teeing off at noon and the golf course has no signal

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

            I’m not sure you are taking FPL seriously enough!

    6. _Make
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 1 month ago

      Rice or Emerson for the BGW madness season?

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

        Rice

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

          Cheers mate

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

      Bednarek, Lascelles, Sterling, Puncheon to Luiz, azpi, brooks, Maddison for a -8?

      What do you think?

      Fabianski
      Robertson VVD Lascelles
      Salah Hazard Puncheon
      Vardy Rondon

      Guaita Jimenez Sterling Pogba AWB Bednarek

      2ft £0.2m itb

    8. Bruno Bruno!!
      • 10 Years

      Thoose who sold a liverpool defender or salah to facilitate Mane could end up looking stupid on Sunday lunchtime, if Mane doesnt play

      1. MTPockets
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Or geniuses when he starts and hauls vs Fulham

        • Richd
          • 13 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah but then they get Puncheon off the bench for 25 points and the jokes on you

        • The Pesci challenge
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Or could look like a genius if he plays

        • kennethrhcp
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          i'd not be too worried if I owned him... this place creates hysteria. a few louder posters make it like they've the answers... mane didn't train on a Fri... meh I'd gamble he plays

          1. The Pesci challenge
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Has anyone seen Kasper the ghost keeper posting his moves, and if so, what is he doing?

        😎

        1. Kasper the ghost keeper

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

            He's selling Salah I heard

            1. Viper
              • 16 Years
              7 years, 1 month ago

              Do you know if he's taking many hits?

                • 10 Years
                7 years, 1 month ago

                He's hitting the bottle hard I heard

                  • 14 Years
                  7 years, 1 month ago

        A Rice and Pedro as below or
        B D Luiz Maddison

        Boruc
        Alexander-Arnold Van Dijk Rice*
        Salah (c) Hazard Brooks Pedro *
        Vardy Higuaín Wilson

        Anyone planning to leave an easy route to Kane in 33 just in case Milwall beat Brighton in the FA cup. Kane v Brighton at home could be a very nice captaincy option to have.

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

          I won’t do it. But i did consider keeping Son instead of Pogba this week just in case ..

        2. ᶠᶦˡᵗʰʸLucre $$$
          • 11 Years
          7 years, 1 month ago

          Good point sir. Can't see Kane not scoring at first match at new stadium, if that game does go ahead in 33.

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

            Probably not worth structuring team around it at the moment as getting him in for a hit would be worth it if he's going to have the arm band. Worth considering anyway at least.

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

          Nah

          Think I will have 7 m in bank so can react to that

        5. MTPockets
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Fraser doubts hve messed up that potential right now.

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 10 Years

              You not going for Fraser now then MT ?

              1. MTPockets
                  7 years, 1 month ago

                  No, don't want the risk with no bench

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

              I like your thinking, I was leaving money to possibly get Deulofeu home to Fulham and didn't consider that.

          • FPL Maldini
            • 11 Years
            7 years, 1 month ago

            Does anyone know whether you can put a money bet on a player NOT scoring? If so what is it called and who does it?

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

              You can do it on Betfair Exchange sometimes (a lay bet) but not always the best odds

            3. Lionel Ronaldo
                7 years, 1 month ago

                Surely there has got to be a condition where the player HAS to play 90 minutes? Otherwise it's a net loss for the bookmakers. Also I expect the odds to be very poor. I'd bet each week on Calum Chambers to not score.

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

                  This, which is why it's only available on the Exchange?

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

                      Really? Only on a select few players I imagine?

                      1. Lionel Ronaldo
                          7 years, 1 month ago

                          I'd expect a very high minimum bet value, too.

                    • 8 Years
                    7 years, 1 month ago

                    unibet does it too, but odds already factors in playing mins, hence very poor.

                • 8 Years

                Who scores more?
                a) Fraser (NEW, lei)
                b) Pedro (eve, car, BHA) with rotation risk.

                      1 goal in the last 8 games for Salah. Due or die?

                      Not spotted in training. Nothing said by Klopp. We are unsure if day off or something wrong. My guess is the former but nobody knows for sure.

                    Pog or Son to Haz (-4)?

                    Or leave Haz?

                    For those that were waiting on Mane

                    RMT has Mane at 5.66

                    So if you’re getting in for a -4 and not captaining you’d gain 1.66 based on the algorithm.

                    Therefore even if Harvey Barnes or someone blanks (but plays) that’s a more positive move right ?

                      If you question is: Is 2 greater than 1.66, the answer is yes!

                      Yes because only whole numbers allowed.

                    Rashford, Jimenez, Son to Vardy, Wilson, Fraser -4pt hit

                    Is Fraser unlikely to play?

                      7 years, 1 month ago

                      Very unlikely to not play

                      1. Lionel Ronaldo
                          7 years, 1 month ago

                          Not unlikely to not play.

                        He's likely to not be unlikely to not not play

                      I'm confusing myself. FH 32, WC 34 -- What is the downside of me ditching Aguero this week to get Hazard in?

                      He'll likely be in my FH 32 team -- unlikely to/ won't play 33 -- bought permanently in WC34.

                      So the risk is just a price rise after performance(s) in GW32?

                          Same true for Rashford and Pogba too - hmm...

                          Looks like I'll have to bite the bullet on one of them this week to have a half-decent 9 players playing I guess.

                          No from me - would just wait until GW36-38 for a fixture. Wouldn't want to captain Salah in his recent form. Okay, you can make the argument that he is 'due' but that's not enough for me to use a chip myself. Not a bad move though but not what I'd do. But that's why my rank has increased 10x in the last 6-7 GW's
